Entrance was gained through a

of shears.
A peculiar coincidence Is that about
two years ago the cash register IN
the same place was robbed in identic-

thief broke the point off pair OF
shears in prying the register open.
Last night the shears used were not
broken. Lieutenant Kelly expressed

former robbery was never caught.

Industrial Education is

sral Government VIII Help.

Hope that the Wheeling Board Of Ed
ucation will include industrial educa-
ton in school work in the city and will
take advantage of provisions Of the

night by Hon. n. P. Shawkey state su-
perintendent Of schools. who arrived to
attend a meeting Of the state council
OF defense today. To an 1ntelligencer
reported. Mr.. Shawkey said he hoped
Wheeling would take the lead In this
work. for which the federal government
has made an appropriation The state
board Of regents, he said. will appor-
ton a share OF the West Virginia fund
to Wheeling If the work Is taken up
here.
Industrial education will be Of great
value to the states and cities taking 1t
up. Superintendent Shawkey said. Much
Of -Germany's efficiency Is due to this
system Of educating her workmen. The
system gives workmen an opportunity
to better their education. either in tho
day schools or night schools. by devot-
ing an hour or two to some trade or
occupation which he: may choose. IT
is an advancement of the work now
being done in night schools Of this and
other cities The cost would be small
1t was pointed out, as the federal gov
eminent has apportioned a considerable
fund for the work.
Mr.. Shawkey expressed qualification
over the excellent start made by the
Wheeling schools this week. and espe-
cially over the large enrolment IN the
high school. IT anl heartily in accord
with the efforts Of President Wilson
and United States Commissioner OF Ed
ucation P. P. Claxton in trying to keep
all educational institutions up to nor
