That will take care of the first incre-

Shepherd College Begins Work.

Shepherd College State Normal School
opened under most suspicious conditions
for her 44th year on Tuesday, with full
teaching force and large increase in the
number of students. Principal Miller has
spent the entire summer in building up
his faculty, interesting students in various
parts of the State in the school, and plan
ming for the splendid new dormitory for
girls which is now under construction.
All the counties east OF the AlleghenieS
are represented here by their very best
young men and young women, and in
addition TO these several other sections
OF the State have contributed OF their best
youth. Four new members OF the faculty
are on hand and are proving themselves
capable as teachers. 1t is planned to
have one more member OF the faculty,
but at this time nothing definite can be
said. The new members include Mr.. S.
o. Bond, OF Lost Creek, w. Va, who
was acting principal of the Chenille
State Normal School the past year and
who now comes TO us as head OF the
training department and district superin-
tendent OF Shepherdstown district. Mr..
Bond has had excellent experience as
teacher and supervisor and has an A. M.
from the Teachers College, Columbia
University, N. Y. Miss Catherine Cowsill,
chosen TO succeed Miss Woods. is a
graduate OF the National School of Do
mestic Arts and Sciences OF Washington,
D. c., OF which city she is a resident.
She has done considerable settlement
work and is prepared for her duties in the
college. MIR. w. George MacTarnaghan
halls from the city OF Batavia, NJ. Y, made
famous by its peculiar type of schools.
Mr.. MacTarnaghan is graduate of the
Buffalo State Normal School and has B.
S. from Massachusetts, Institute Of Tech
nology. He has had considerable ex-
perience in teaching and in the practice Of
drafting. He takes Mr.. Tingley's place
as head OF the manual training depart
ment. Miss Eta Williams, selected as
teacher of typewriting and commercial
branches and office assistant, is graduate
of Columbia Business College and is
native of Washington county, Nd. Miss
Williams is practical typist, and has had
valuable experience in office workin Ha-
gerstown and as teacher in public schools
and business colleges.
With this splendid addition to the facul-
ty, The fine new dormItory for girls an
assured fact, and the enthusiasm attendant
upon body OF fine-spirited students and
tried teachers OF former years, Shepherd
College certainly ought to have the con-
fidence Of everyone interested in securing
an educated citizenship.
