Mrs. Ambazetta Lovett, widow of

EFT, deceased. Her husband preceded
her to the grave in 1908. She was
converted when 10 years old, and

WHY MANUAL TRAINING
is TAUGHT

People who visit the Manual Train
ing classes at the High School often
ask Prof. Steele if he is going to
make carpenters out Of all the boys
who are taking the work. This illus
trates very common misapprehen-
sion as to the objects Of Manual
Training. 1t is not the purpose to
turn out carpenters or cabinet-mak
ers, although the boys who have had
the work in the shop will be much
better qualified to learn such trades,
if they SO desire, than the boys who
have not received such training while
young.
The detectives Of Manual Training
are three-fold. First, to teach the
proper care and use Of such tools as
should commonly be found about the
home or on the farm and so qualify
the boy to manufacture, in sub
stancial and artistic manner, articles
needed about the place. Secondly to
teach accuracy and carfullness in
work. A piece of wood that is to be
a part OF an article of furniture can
not be "about" so long or SO wide.
1t must be made exactly according
to the given dimensions. These hab-
its Of accuracy and neatness will
carry over into every other phase of
activity that boy may use in later
life. TIE third objective of Manual
Training is to so develope the motor
activities as to increase the manual
dexterity Of the pupil. A noted sur
geon once said that he desired his SON
to take Manual Training because the
work would SO develope the control of
hand and fingers that the boy would
be better surgeon than has father.
The boys have begun making
fower-stands, cabinets, library tab
les and similar articles useful in the
home both for their own use and for
sale. The class is in session every
afternoon from 2:15 until 3:45 and
those interested are very cordially in
vited to visit the class and see what
the boys are doing.

LANDS 5OPOUND
BEAR NEAR ELKINS
Four West Virginia Hunters in Ex-
citing Battle Get" Bruin
Along Little River.

HARDING, w. VA, Dec. 13.-Mar-
tin Wyatt of this place had an un-
usual experience in landing a 49,
pound bear while hunting on the east
side of Little river. Wyatt was fol-
lowing the bear and lost one dog dur
ing the morning. In his trip he fell
in with Eugene Zirkle and G. v.
Wiseman, of Mable, and s. C. For
nash and Austin Swecker, of Mill
Creek.
Their three hounds and Wyatt's
Airdale were sent out, and an hour
and half later the large bruin came
to Wyatt, and Wiseman, whose gun
being broken, he could not shoot, but
be dumped the animal off the log
backwards and then Wyatt filled the
bear with four shots from his Win
chester, but he ran on.
The dogs came in contact with the
bear and plunged into the briars and
laurel and the bear seriously wound
ed two of the dogs.
BY this time, Fornash and Zirkle
appeared crawling in the briars after
the bear. Zirkle fired two shots but
missed. Fornash continued to crawl
after the bear, losing his cap and
coat, but did not get discouraged. He
followed on until he got into fight
with the bear, which tore his trousers
off and he was forced to return with
out any. They at last closed in on
the bear and fired four shots from
a rifle and heavy balls from shot
gun. They dragged the carcass of
the monster into camp with difficulty.
In the meantime Swecker had found
his way back to camp and had supper
ready for the tired, hungry hunters.

MOUNTAINEERS GO
TO CALIFORNIA
Russ Meredith to Lead His Team
Against Far Westerners in Con-
test at San Diego, Cal.

With the pep that was so good for
the Mountaineer fans to look at dur
ing the regular season of 1922, the
West Virginia University football
team, led by its old Captain, Russell
Meredith, Of Fairwont, will rush onto
the gridiron at San Diego, California,
on Christmas afternoon and there
meet the team of the Gonzaga Uni
versity of Seattle, Wash, for one Of
year. Arrangements were completed
the great east-west games Of the
for the trip to the coast Of the Noun
iaineers this week and the press Of
the country was notified that one Of
the three eastern teams to appear in
California during the holidays will be
I,he unbeaten eleven from West Vir-
Smia. No greater honor can come to
an eastern team than to be invited to
combat with western rival after the
regular season is over.
The journey, which will start from
Morgantown next Tuesday, will be
the first taken by West Virginia
team to the coast. In fact, few Noun
taineer teams have played in the
west. Once the team captained by
Brooks Fleming, Jr., of Fairmont,
played Michigan at Ann Arbor. This
is the farthest point west ever

Permission for the trip was grant

ney being nearly entirely taken in
the holiday period of the state school.
All ever West Virginia supporters
Aof the Mountaineers who followed
vthem during their victorious regular

them to California for Christmas
Day, and it was predicted in Morgan

when the whistle blows to start the

Selecting Officials
A field heavy with mud and snow
did not stop DIR. Spears in driving the
West Virginia football squad through
one Of the longest and most strenu-

Spears realizes that only a few
days remain before the train is

heroic measures must be used to get
the men in physical shape after their
Today lay-off.
The matter of officials for the game
is now being discussed by wire with

hes, and it was announced that the
Mountaineers had submitted the
