Miss Grant believes with the special
work at the university she will be able
10 work out next year some things Of

Most educators realize that the
great coming problem in education IS
the rehabilitation Of the rural life and
especially through the rural schools.
Most folks are willing to talk about
the need and the possibilities but not
many are doing more than talk about
It. No one. at least no one in the rural
sections, questions the fact that the
rural schools have been seriously ne
elected and that the farmer isn't kick

naturally a kicking animal but because

salaries. better prepared teachers,
and greater proportionate effort should
be placed where the greatest problems
and the hardest work exists and that
is In the rural schools, We are glad e
note the stand Of our county superin-
tendent on this point. He has for the
last year insisted that We get back to
fundamentals and teach the things
that are going to be used in lie and
teach them hardest where they are
needed most.

The primary campaign in this state which ended with
todays election was in the main very satisfactory and
it indicates that the people of West Virginia have learn
ed to use the new system Of making nominations The
candidates conducted their canvasses vigorously but
without any serious departures from the dictates Of good
taste and good manners and that score there is not
the slightest reason why when the vote is announced
the rank and e Of both parties cannot close in behind
the successful ones and make good fight for them.

The prospect now is thai the killing of carranza
will lead to lot Of more or less legal hansinss in the
hope that the revolution may be relieved Of the stigma
OF the taking of Of the obstinate old man who rode into
power on the crest Of the reaction which followed the
cowardly murder Of President Madero. 1t remains to
be seen whether even such drastic steps can save the
new control. They do not assimate new political ideas
very rapidly in Mexico, but the chances are that the
only way to insure the success Of political movement
predcaed upon the force Of arms TO take the neces
sary precautions to guard against the suspicion that
nlan old fashioned assassination is part Of the plan.

Albert Woodrow Reed, aged l year,
eight months and Is days, died We'd
nesday night, June %, at the home of
his grandfather, F. H. Reed, near
Chesterfield, after a brief illness Of
fiux. The only child of E. L. and Welt
Reed, he was born Oct. Sth, 1918. He
was an exceptionally bright, attrac-

rents and the pet of everybody. All
was done that human wisdom could
suggest in the hope of p~rolonging his
life, but the effort was in vain. The
bereaved family is receiving the
heartful coincidence of hosts Of
friends and to them are commended
the all-sufficient comforts of the
Christian religion as expressed in the
Word of God. Funeral services were
conducted Thursday afternoon, June
