RATE FOR NON
RESIDENT S. PUPILS

The Board of Education of Beling-
ton Ind. District has instructed o. j.
Woodford, Supt., to write the follow
ing letter to outside school patrons,
and from the item following, it does
seem that the Board is yet very liber-
al in their fees, for it will be noted
that nonresident high school pupils
in Fairmont pay SIS tuition, it would
therefore seem more proper for our
Board to charge $40 or $50 tuition in
stead of $40:
'At meeting of the Board of Edu-
cation of Belington Independent Dis
trict, on September Sth., it was
found necessary that in order to ac-
commodate the large number of stu
dent enrolling in our School from the
outside districts to employ another
teacher.
At the present time it is costing
the Town of Belington approximately
$4,000 for High School maintenance
and with an enrolment of 1870 Beling-
ton students and SIS from the outside
districts it is costing approximately
$500 per capita This 800 per
capita pays for employment of teach
ers only.
The Boards of Education Of the
outside districts pay by law $4500
Now the Independent Board has
available at present, funds enough
only to pay part of the salary of an
other teacher. As this fact was not
known at its August meeting, the
time for fixing the levy, and in order
to employ an extra teacher to take
care of the large number of students
from the outside districts, it is nee
essary for us to charge an additional
fee of $500 per semester.
We regret this very much, but
it could not be foreseen We are
willing to do the best we can and with
the extra teacher added our classes
will still be large, but we feel that
we can do justice to all.
Will you please give this matter
due consideration? Your hearty CO.
operation is solicited"
Nonresident high school pupils
must pay tuition of SIS this year
and nonresident grade school chill
dren must pay $45 tuition per year,
both amounts payable in advance.
The pupils will attend local schools on
these and other conditions worked
out by the Fairmont Independent Dis
trict Board of Education recently

TYGART VALLEY HIGHWAY
CELEBRATION

A big celebration is being planned
to dedicate the opening of the new
State Highway connecting Elkins, Be-
lington, Philippi and the intermedi-
ate towns. That this should be made
day long to be remembered is only
BETTING the value of this new High
way to the people of Randolph and
Barbour Counties. Quite as valuable
in business way as the building of
the Railroad up the Tygart Valley
and, in these days of the automobile,
making possible business and social
intercourse up and down the Valley
no tdreamed of ten years ago. And
as point of particular interest and
pride to residents of Randolph and
Barbour Counties, it has been stated
that this stretch of road from Elkins
to Philippi is the longest continuous
section of Highway completed by the
State Road Commission under the
Fifty Million Dollar bond issue.
A general committee composed of
three members each from the Cham
Der of Commerce of Elkins, the Cham
Der of Commerce of Belington and
the Kiwanis Club of Philippi are
working out the details of the Cele-
bration. The date for the big day
will be announced as soon as the act
ual construction is completed, there
still remaining about three thousand
feet of concrete to be layed south of
Belington in the direction of Elkins.

TO ALL LOVERS OF MUSIC

Miss Shillinglaw, Broaddus Col
lego, spent several weeks this sum
mer at the Chicago Musical College
studying in the Master Interpreta-
ton class of Leopold Auer, the world
famous Master Of Violin Teaching,
whose pupils, Heifetz, Elman, Zim-
balist and others have set a new
standard of violin playing. This
class numbered among it's members,
concert soloists and teachers from
all parts Of the country, eager to
take advantage of this opportunity
to study with this great teacher.
Professor Auer believes in children
beginning the study of the violin at
as early an age as possible. Under
careful guidance a child Of seven or
eight years Of age learns as rapidly
as much older pupil and has the de-
cided advantage Of greater fexibility
and technical facility.
Miss Shillinglaw is especially i'm
terested in teaching young children
and has taken great pains to study
methods particularly adapted to their
needs, as well as those Of more ma
ture age and trusts that many young
people will take advantage of the
class work which will be organized in
the town Of Belington for the chill
dren who do not care to take private
lessons.
The classes should number at least
six

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
MR.. EDITOR:

NIX. EDITOR:
1t is useless for us to close our eyes
against the fact that there exists
much dissatisfaction with both the
cost and results Of our public schools.
Our American people are not oppos-
ed to education, but they do not APP
preciate the brand that is being hand
ed out. We see agnosticism and in
fidelity, getting strong hold on the
minds of the rising generation, espec-
tally is this true of our institutions of
higher education. Pupils are not
taught to respect their elders. Girls
are not taught that most valuable
attribute-modesty and refinement.
Boys are permitted to indulge in
"rough-neckism".
The so-called athletics are carried
to extremes. | am pleased to note
that the Barbour County have called
attention to this fact in their Resolu-
tions. / am also pleased to note that
the Barbour teachers are in favor Of
the county as the unit for school levy.
Recently | had conversation with
State Superintendent Ford, on this
subject. He strongly advocates the
County Unit. He and | also agree
that we should have larger appropri-
ations from the State for school sup
port. AS to County Board Of Edu-
cation; the Barbour, teachers and |
agree, but Supt. thinks that it would
be best to have Board consisting Of
three members, elected from the
county at large. If we adopt the
"cosinty Unit, it will necessary to
have a County Board Of Education.
if we could secure such men as c. O.
Marsh, Charles Grouse and j. H. Fell
ton, to accept these positions, / am
sure that the interests of our schools
would be in safe hands.
I am in favor Of District High
schools and State aid for the same.
| want to commend the people Of
Cove and Union districts for their
public spiritedness
I am in favor of "A Teachers Com
pensation Fund" as advocated by the
Barbour County teachers. l 60 a
little farther. l believe that the
State should appropriate on $1,000 as
nucleus for this fund.
If elected to the Legislature, will
advocate the above measures. But
whether the Unit of levy, be District
or County, am in favor of the people
deciding the length of the school
term. ! favor raising the major part
of our school money by indirect
taxes.
Yours truly,

MICHIGAN MAY GO
FOR LA TOILETTE

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. 17.--Senator
Robert M. LaFollette opened his ac-
tive campaign for the presidency to-
day when he spoke at the Madison
Square Garden in New York. From
thence on he began his "March to the
sea and back again., swinging
through the Eastern and midwest
ern states, Pennsylvania, Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and on to the western
coast, then looping down the Paci-
fic states to the southwest and south
and up the Atlanic seaboard.
Campaign leaders at the national
LaFollette- Wheeler Headquarters in
this city declared today that Senator
Couzins' great victory in Michigan
was the most enthusiastic indication
that the progressive candidates have
a more than excellent chance of winn-
ing Michigan in the November pre-
sidential elections. Although Sena-
tor Couzins did not come out for Sem
ator LaFollette in his campaign for
denomination he was the recognized
Progressive candidate and the OPP
position fight was made against him

gress and has worked hand-in- hand
with Senator LaFollette and Senator
Wheeler and their colleagues in both

cation. His big victory, he secured
the nomination by majority Of
more than $4,000, is therefore consid-
cred by the LaFollette- Wheeler lead
ers as a very clear indication Of
what will take plac Elm Michigan in
the presidential election Senator
Couzins' win has placed Michigan de-
finitely in the list of LaFollette-
Wheeler states.

for the fiscal year are shown to have
been S2,951, 935.41. Receipts from the
gasoline tax, which is not collected
b ythe Commission but also goes in
to the state road fund, are given as
$780,, 991.16 from July 27, 1923, when
the law went into effect, up to the end
of the fiscal year. 1t is noted that
the receipts from these two sources
have been sufficient to provide sink
ing fund to pay the principal of the
state road bonds, pay the interest on
the bonds, pay all costs of road main
tenance, and meet all the overhead
expenses of the State Road Commits
sion, thus making any general pro-
perty tax unnecessary for any of
these purposes.
The new law requiring bond or liza
bilitiy insurance from all operators
of vehicles for hire, it is stated, has
eliminated the less desirable taxicab
men, with the result that taxicab ac-
cidents, formerly of frequent occur
renee, have become rare.
Other information given in the re-
port includes the annual financial
statement, data on Federal aid and
state projects, and details of conracts
awarded during the fiscal year.

MIDDLE WEST PROSPEROUS

CHICAGO, Sept ia Kansas
City, Mo-, dispatch to the Philadel-
phia Public Ledger in part follows:
Never in its history has the inter-
ior rushed it's wheat to market as it
has since this years harvest. The
1853 cars received here in August
established record and followed
high record July shipments of 14,615
cars. The two months receipts were
close to $4,000, 900 bushels, more than
double the amout received in the
same months last year and more than
double the ten year average. s.
The effect has been to increase
bank deposits. One local bank has
gained $12,0O0,00O since July /, and
has $58,O00,000 as compared with
Sal 100000 year ago. At the same
time there has been an actual de-
crease in loans, despite the 17,000,-
900 bushels Of wheat in local eleva-
tors, which is more than twice that
of a year ago, which has called for
much borrowing.
Bankers say that never was there
so sudden transformation in fnan-
cial conditions as has been manifest
in the last sixty days. Many coun-
try banks that were borrowing to the
limit three months ago have paid
their loans and accumulated balances
with their correspondents. Most of
the increase in deposits here is due to
the larger balances Of country banks.
Reports from Nebraska say the turn
of the tide has given an impetus to
real estate, that more farms will
change hands before the season is
over than in the last four years and
that prices will advance 10 to 25 per-
cent. Sixty days ago farmers consid-
cred that they were doing business
at loss; now they are confident of
profit. Depression and discourage
ment have given way to hopefulness
and courage.
All eyes are now turned on the corn
crop, which gives promise of full
average yield in Kansas, most of Ok
lahoma, an in Nebraska, if the frost
date be well delayed. 1t is expected
that the months crop report will show
fully as high a promise as did Au-
gust, with perhaps improvement in
Kansas, which is especially favored
in both wheat and corn.
The middle west producer has an
entirely new point of view with a
lifting burden Of debt. In one res
pect he has considerable advantage
over the earlier period. He then
built a new home, new barns, improv-
ed his equipment in is on the whole
in far better condition than a decade
ago. Now he has that advance paid
for and is in a position where there
is less demand for added expansion.
1t. is likely that he will turn, where
possible, to investments and seek to
place some Of his surplus into bonds
and mortgages particularly bonds
with such other securities as appeal
to him. The promoters and sales
men for stocks are already in the
field.
