.SHAWKEY FOR
REFLECTION

| During the last six years num-
Der of new movements have been
started in West Virginia which
bid fair to make the State recog-
nized as one of the leading states
of the Union.
The high schools have been
brought to nearly every child in
the state. The enrolment hasarea-
ched IL, 691. Boards of education
are required to pay the tuition Of
boys and girls not having high
school advantages. Normal train
ing departments for teachers
have been placed in ten first-class
nigh shoots and state aid has been
given specially for this work as
well as to all high schools in gem
eral.
Many consolidated schools
have been built and isolated one
room schools abandoned, thereby
affording better educational ad-
vantages to the children. Twenty
four regular school wagons are
now in use to transport these
children to school. District super
visors have been employed in Sc
districts to promote still further
the work of the rural and graded
schools. A medical inspection law
has been passed by the Legisla-
ture which promotes better phys
zeal conditions for the child, A
Child Labor law has been enacted
therebypreyenting many children
from going to work prematurely
and missing school opportunities,
A large number of bulletins
have been published on sub
jects of vital interest to teach
|
ers and pupils. School arch
itectured, social centre move
ments, night schools, high
school work, Institutes and
many other vital topics have
formed the subjects Of the
most important publications,
Supt, M. P. Shawkey. in
every instance has stood for
better school conditions for the
boys and girls Of West Virgin
Ia. He is a candidate for re-
election to the office Of State
Superintendent. Does he not
merit your support?

DEUTSCHLAND ARRIVED
AT NEW LONDON

New London, Conn, Nov. i.
The German submarine
Deutschland arrived in the har-
Dor here early this morning.
Capt. Koenig said the Deutsch-
land left Bremen on October 10,
and made the trip here without
special incident. The crew
comprised 25men. The Deutsch-
land appeared in the outer har-
Dor shortly after midnight and
proceeded to the dock Of the
Eastern Forwarding company.
The quarantine regulations
were waived and the Deutsch-
land tied up at the dock. The
big underwater craft carries a
large cargo of chemicals, it is
reported.
The appearance of the Deut-
schland in New London was a
great surprise to navigators.
Only a few days ago it was re-
ported from authoritative Euro
pean sources that he Deutsch-
land and Bremen and both been
given up as lost by the German
government. This was accept
ed as true by military and naval
men, who had watched for the
boat ever since its departure
from Bremen early in October.
For weeks the Atlantic coast
was watched for the arrival of
the boat. When the U-53 ar
rived, it was at first thought
that it was the Deutschland. In
mediately after U-53's depar-
ture, all hope for the Deutsch-
land and Bremen was abandon
ed.
Early today the Deutschland's
officers and agents for its line
declared that the boat carried a
cargo worth a kings ransom.

viction that the people will make
him the governor, and says he is
in a position to serve them best.

left the voters both Democrats

Whenever you hear a man glo-

that he is struggling farther and

In view of the fact that Mr.. Stats

it would be a creditable act of justice
to reimburse Mr.. Staats by means of
some such action. The day current
is a move in the right direction, for
If the town is ever TO have any new
enterprises it must be able TO give
them a day current. Then quite a
