PUBLIC Sentiment DISAPPROVES
THE TRANSFER Of DR.. WOODLEY

ment and May Reconsider Its ActiOn-Dr. WOodley

RAISE SERIOUS OBJECTIONS TO ROSTER

influence to further the interest OF the
Democratic ring. and that he has been
an editorial contributor to the Fair
mont Times. writing the most partisan
articles it is possible to write.
1t is further charged for many years
he was an open foe OF the Fairmont
Normal school
II is however. that he has been
working IN harmony with the normal
since DR.. Wnodley was placed in
charge of the school.
1t is asserted that he has circulated
political petitions among the teachers
and requested them to sign them
against their pleasure.
So intense is the feeling that it is
believed that the Normal School will
be severely hurt il this change is made
1t is to be expected that so long as the
present partisan board OF education Is
in charge that partisan Democrat
will be at the head OF the public
schools Of Fairmont. and it is also ex.
pected that a Democrat who will play
politics will take the place Of Mr..
Roster. If he goes to the Normal school
and thus we will have the normal
school system and the public school
system linked up into strong par
tisan organization. Things we're well
balanced as they have been here. and
there is every argument against max
ing any change The board should
keep DR.. Woodley as long as 1t can.
Should DR.. Woodley not return to
Fairmont there Is another suggestion
that has been made that will save the
situation. and that is to transfer Prof.
Thomas C. Miller from Shepherdstown
TO Fairmont. Prof Miller is man of
the highest standing in the educa-
tional circles Of the state. He has
been State Superintendent Of Schools
and has had many years experience
in Normal School work. He is a
trained educator and an able execu-
tive. 1t would be fitting compliment
to his well known ability to promote
him to his own home town. where he
would be received and welcomed In
open arms.
The West Virgintan asks the Board
OF Regents to carefully weigh these
statements. and If they have any doubt
as to public sentiment here they are
invited to visit Fairmont or send a
representative here to get the facts
first hand. When this is done we
know they will reconsider the error
they have been led into through lack
OF advice as to local sentiment and
local conditions.

"Fourth.-The fourth suggestion is one that brings in the idea of force
 In the league proposed all members are to agree that if any one member violates it's obligation and begins war against any other member without submitting it's cause for war to the arbttral court, if 1t Is justiciable question, or to the commission of con ciliation if 1t Is otherwise, all the members of the league should unite to defend the member attacked against war waged in breach of plighted faith. 1t is to be observed that this does not involve the members of the league ih an obligation to enforce the Judgment of the court or the recon mendatlon of the commission of con ciliation. 1t only furnishes the instru- mentality of force to prevent attack without submission, It is believed 1t Is more practical than to attempt to enforce judgments after the hearing
 One reason Is that the failure to sub init to one of the two tribunals the threatening cause of war for the con- sideration of one or the other Is n fact easily ascertained and concerning which there can be no dispute, and 1t is palpable violation of the obliga- tion of the member.
