STATE HIGHWAY OPENED in
BARBOUR COUNTY

The state highway leading out of
Belington towards Philippi was open
ed this evening for the first time.
The employees Of the road after they
had completed their work at the pave
ment in Philippi made it known by
serenade by running the steam rollers
trucks down Main street, with plenty
of noise.
Formal openings will be given Sat
urday and Sunday. Philippi extends
an invitation to all the citizens in the
southern end of the county to pay her
visit Saturday between two and
four P. M. Belington calls an auto
mobile parade Sunday afteroon be-
ginning at Junior at 1:45 P. M. to
run to Belington and on to Philinpi
where automobiles will fall in line at
that end of the road and come back to
Belington and Junior.
The opening of this highway has
long been expected. One delay after
another has brought the completion
of the road at this late date, ordinarily
it would have been completed the last
of September. Delay in receiving
limestone, due to the car shortage,
was the principle hinderance.
This highway is a memorial dedi-
Gated to the progressive men and wo-
men of the past and present and
marks an important step in our mod
ern civilization. Present generations
as well as future generations will look
to this highway with pride and emo
ton, knowing as they do that it took
a great deal of thought, energy sacri-
flee and tax money to put it thru.
This good roads project was started
by the citizens of Barker District,
having voted bonds to build twenty
miles of hard surface roads at a cost
of about $3.50, 900, 100000 eight years
ago but the war came on and the cal
culations had to be modified in-so-
much that the county and state took
the matter in hands and now the road
between the two sister towns of Be-
lington and Philippi, Junior and Dart
moor are now in Misunderstanding dis
lance. The barrier of bad roads has
been paved away and ere long the in
evitable prosperity that belong to the
citizens of this county and the Ty-
CARTS Valley, will be here to stay.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
A PROCLAMATION BY THE ls
GOVERNOR

For nearly three centuries, in ac-
cordance with a venerable custom
founded by our God-fearing fore
fathers, who endured suffering and
sacrifice to establish new nation
where they might enjoy the blessings
of liberty and worship the Creator ac-
cording to the dictates Of their own
conscience, we have reverently obser-
we'd one day set apart from all others
of the year to show gratitude to the
Almighty for the blessings He has
vouchsafed and the benefactions He
has bestowed
Gratitude is one of the noblest at
tributes of the soul 1t is the warm
est expression of the human heart,
the confession of our dependence on
the Omnipotent for life, health, care
and guidance. 1t is confessed weak
ness when men turn to God in dire
extremity, when peril comes and show
not gratitude when worldly success
.and material advantages cheer and
brighten the pathway of life and
blessings are accepted without
thought of the Divine Source.
In our own beloved State of West
Virginia we have enjoyed during the
year that is almost spent the bless
ings of peace, plenty and happiness.
Our farms have been fruitful, our
cities have grown, our mines have
! yielded their products of comfort and
wealth and our people have boundless
! confidence in our future. We have
seen established more universal re-
| gard for the responsibilities of citi-
zenship and a more universal respect
for the majesty of the law. We have
witnessed the growing power of the
churches and the expansion of oul
educational institutions. We have
eagerly watched the scrapping of in
strumentalities of war and conflict
the triumphs of peace and justice and
the many kindly manifestations o.
Divine Providence in withholding
pestilence and disaster.
THEREFORE, I, EPHRAIM F
MORGAN, Governor of West Virgin
ia, in pursuance of authority vestet

THE PROBLEM OF RETAR-
DATION

More than 500 of our students are
from one to five years behind the
grade to which they normally belong.
How about your child, parent? If
your child is behind, what are you do
ing to remedy the condition? In any
case are you doing all you can to pro-
mote the educational interest of your
sons and daughters?
The following are some of the rea-
sons why so many children in our
schools are retarded:
The teaching profession is not held
in sufficiently high esteem by the
general public to draw and hold the
best talent for this work The COM
mercial world offers so much more in
money returns and in public esteem,
that any wide awake Industrious per-
son must make great sacrifices if he
continues to be teacher.
The teacher is often adversely criti-
cized by citizens who never visit the
school, but who accept as one hun
dred per cent correct reports of stu
dents who are cross because they have
bees deciplined. This criticism often
drives from the profession the most
sincere worker, for he feels that his
work is failure if he has not been
able to please has patrons.
Irregular attendance is often res
ponslble for child's getting behind
IN his work. This discourages him
AMI makes the entire work a drudgerv
to him. These absences could often
be avoided if the parent knew what it
means to the child to miss day now
and then.
Sickness and physical defects are
responsible for much of our retard-
alton. A large per cent of these de-
facts could be corrected by a school
physician and school nurse, who
would be employed by the school au-
thorities, or be responsible to the
| same.
Some of our school rooms are dingy
and unhomelike, tending to make
school life distasteful to the children
Our schools are not equipped with the
proper facilities to enable the tea.
cher to give each pupil what he needs
We have been trying to teach every
one work that is gotten from books
leaping the genius in the field Of
hand work to pick it up out of schoo
or while the teachers back is turned
Too many children, like Edison, have
been given up as failures by thei,
teachers, because they were not giver
the work for which their natures call
ed.
The lack of proper home study i:
another cause for many children mo-
being able to keep up their work. II
many homes no provision is made
for study hour where conditions are
such that concentration on the part Of
the child is possible. One hours WORK
under proper conditions, is worth
more than three or four hours of work
and play mixed.
If Belington is ever to have better
school conditions, it will be because
