" THE OPENING SESSION. The Partial Enrollment of Visitors and Brief Exercises; "?The first session was called to order at 10:30 o'clock in the high school hall, with an attendance of about one hun dred persons. President Trotter presid ed, and Socretary Wilkinson was at the desk. The minutes of the last annual 'meeting of the association were read, after which there was a partial enroll ment of the "visiting delegates. ?Miss Lucy Robinson, music instructor in the Wheeling schcols. sang "The Cor onation," and was the recipient of the hearty applause of her hearers. The invocation was pronounced by President Gardner, of Salem college. At noon the session closed, adjourn nientbelng taken until 2 p. m. THE AFTERNOON SESSION. President Raymond's Address?Com- , mitteea Named?Some of the Visi tors Here. The afternoon session opened with a charming solo, sang by Miss Elsie Gundling. Then followed a lecture-On "The New Aristocracy," by President Jerome H. Raymond, of the West Vir ginia University. It was a scholarly ef fort, and contained hope and sugges tions for. the scholars of the future. Dr. Raymond urged people to educate themselves and to strive ever to attain the highest ideals of manhood and wo manhood. , ? The new era,- he said, called for an all round education. The old idea that a college education merely is needed on ly to enter the professions, is passing away, and uo preacher, teacher, lawyer or doctor is ready to minister properly unless he has had a broad general edu cation. But besides being educated thoroughly, the scholar of the future must be educated accurately. No one trusts the man or woman who Is not definite, accurate. To be Inaccurate profits no one and Injures many. In accuracy hurts the school room or the newspaper, as well as other things. \ The scholar of the future must also fce honest, be true. A dishonest doctor can't be a good practitioner; he will be a quack. In this connection, Dr. Ray mond scored those colleges which ped dle B. A. and Ph. D. decrees so loose ly. He also scored the men who exnlblt these false titles. Tho dishonest man, the quack, condemns himself, he can ; never be a leader, and at best can only ?be a camp follower. We owe humanity our best,, therefore we should be hon est and earnest. The new aristocracy must be full of earnestness and honesty. To succeed In a choscn profession, to be leaders and members of the new aristocracy one must paint with one's life blood, as the artist who got the fa mous oolomgs for his pictures by paint ing with blood from his veins. Dr. Raymond said everyone should do his best, after first knowing what he Is best suited for. A young man can t know himself, for he Is nn unknowable being, but bo should make great-pre parations for his life work. There ts not much In "being called to a work. One should think and consider what he is suited'for and what he cares for, then strive earnestly In constant endeavor to be good in that which he decides to do. Few will reach tho heights of en-, deavor; mediocrity Is plentiful,.and the ?'soul striving to reach the top must en- | 'counter.discouragement There Is hap piness In tho lowlands, or what tho world calls it hupplness. and great spir its striving to soar upward aro misun derstood by the world. Socrntcs, Jesus, > Newton, and Luther, and all good pure aplrlts were misunderstood. -Tho world lias treated harshly Ruskln, the foun tain of light and beauty in this world, ?he making men eeo wondrous beauty In oven tho lowly cowslip, and when he struck at society's errors he was told to stick to his poetic descriptions. Now he is In Ills old nuc unci passing out of tho world n victim of InKrntltuae: 1>ut com ing years';will surely Hive him that which the present uro has denied him. The scholar' of tlip future, will J" rich, said Dr. IUymond, thouKh no rich us men usa the word. Ho will liave fame, though his work ljelnff loo high Tor the multitude will not Injure litem. He will have happiness, wealth, fame and cheering vision,. The scholar sets the marvels wherever ' time h?s wrought,the signs ot tht times anil that tho fonUslei of the pout are tho realit ies of the prenenL Two men, a acholai1 and an uneducated man, can stand and look at a field of uroivlnn (train. Tho one aeea in the grain visions of clothlnjr. food and luitenance, but the other sees far lieyotid and drinks In lt? Inllnltfl beauties and mesnlngs. The atream cannot run higher than It* aource. Tne new scholars will mingle In worldly affairs. Evils .con only be sot right, the icholar of the ncfw school kno?.?, only mingling In politic*. Dr. Raymond Instanced Arnold Toynbee's work In tho coniieMed districts of Bast I<ondon, and tho different Institutions In tho larger American cities devoted to tho work of lifting mankind to a higher and purer level., Like Blr I,aunclval In the quest of the Holy Grail, the only real happiness can be secured by alms and assisting less fortunate brothers. Tho new aristocracy will be one of heroes. It will be the roal ?nobility of theenrth. First must be secured a broad liberal education. Can a man or woman say they can't get It In these days of free education? Can they afford to stand still, when their fathers went for ward with less advantages? They must go on, not dreading lo cut loose from old ideas and customs. They should have courage and lot dreams of success banish thoughts of faltering. After a brilliant peroration along this line, Dr. Raymond concludod amid enthusiastic applause. Mrs. Nellie Wnrren Holloway, Wheel ing's leading pianist, then varied tho programme with a beautiful piano solo, Tho audience demanded an encore. Miss Elisabeth Clohnn, principal of Clay school, read a highly interesting paper on the needs of penslonlnn school teachers. The paper was similar to that read before the Wheeling school teach ers, and recently published In full In the Intelligencer. Miss Clohan's appeal for annuities for teachers on the retired list was heartily concurred In. Miss I Clohnn nsked all the teachers to Join I.the West Virginia Teachers' ltetlre | ment Fund Association, and asked tlint committees bo formed in every con gressional district lo prepare a bill to I be presented at the next session of the legislature. MIsb Clohan was warmly complimented for her excellent paper, and tho grand idea it embodied. W. II. Gallup, of New Cumberland, followed with a paper, "The School boy." It was a plea for more consider ation of that hilarious individual, Mr. Gallup arguing tint confidence Intrust ed by (he teacher In the schoolboy was seldom broken. Mr. Gallup said a teacher shouldn't be looking for evil in tho boy. but rather treating him as if he was expected to be good and couldn't be otherwise. Every school should be furnished with a library, nnd good books would make good boys. Mr. Gal lup made a good argument for the boys and his paper was very entertaining throughout. The following committees were then appointed to act with the .suggestions made by Miss Clohan. relative to the teachcrs" retirement fund: First district?Miss Elizabeth Clohan, Wheeling; Frank U Bunlett, Clarks bUSecond district?Thomas E. Hodges, Xlorgantown; W. II. Foulk. Piedmont. Third district?George L. Laidiey, Charleston; Mrs. Mary McGuigan,Char leston. Fourth district?L. J. Corbiy. Hunt ington; Sliss Addlo M.

The evening session' was slow in get ting started, and was openedi by .two beautiful selections played by tfie Wal do Mandolin and Guitar Quartette, af ter which the teachers weTe extended the welcome of the city of Wheeling. In lieu of Mayor Butts, .this duty was well performed' by Council Committee Clerk Thomas O'Brien, Jr. The address of welcome la behalf of the board of education was made by Mr. John C. Rlheldaffer, President J. A. Jefferson being unable to be pres ent, Mr. Rlheldaffer happily Intro duced himself by repeating the welcome ascribed to an out-spoken woman, "Make yourself at home, for I'm at home, and wish you all were." Ini ask ing the teachers to strive for a high Ideal, Mr. Rlheldaffer quoted tho poem beginning thus: "What do we plant when we plant the tree? ? We plant the ship that crosses the sea," etc. He bade the teachers a hearty welcome. Superintendent W. H. Anderson ex tended a welcome in behalf of the Wheeling teachers. The Wheeling teachers have a kindly feeling toward the visitors, for "a fellow feeling makes the world akin1." Like the visitors, the Wheeling brethren have experienced the I trials and tribulations of a teacher; have known the difficulties encountered In getting positions; have known the pugilistic father and the unreasoning mother, and the other ills that the teacher is heir to. But there is a bright side to the teacher's life, and some rewards come. The teacher Is pleased to shnke the hand of a successful man, who ns a boy had been1 a wayward puplll Then, too, the teacher has his or her dreams. They feel that they are the chosen leaders, the members of the "New Aris tocracy." Superintendent' "Andersrm said that the teaohers come together annually, spending probably a month's salary In a self-sacrificing' s<pirlt, and by communion and exchange of ideas and1 experiences give forth new light, which is benellclal in the work of ele vating mankind. After further re ma/rkfl on the high calling of a teach er, Superintendent Andorson repeated the hearty welcome to the visiting teachers. Hia address was flatteringly received. One of the most enjoyable numbers next occurred, the vocal solo by Mrs. H. ? Rlheldaffer. Her selection, "A Dream of Paradise," was suited to her charming voice, and the rendition pro duced m striking effect upon/ her lis teners The responses to the addresses of wel come were made by Mr, C. F. Hahn, of Piedmont. He said it was a high honor to respond to the three-fold wel come of the hospitable and historic city of Wheeling. First, he thanked the representative of the mayor of West "Virginia's metropolis. The genial wel come from the board of education dis pelled any fear the teachers nvlght have of the board of education, a body teach ers generally had to fear?-ju remark that caused laughter. To the superin tendent of tho Wheeling schools and tho Wheeling teachero, Mr. Hahn Mid the greeting came as from comrades in-arms, and Ihe'vUiltop esteemed the kind word* deeply. Mr. llahn then drifted into an eulogy of the tcochlnK profession, and his oratorical ability, aa welt as a dramatic.ability,- were won displayed. Mr. Hahn l? a fervent, elo quent, magnetic ep?aktr? and the ro mantlo itago has lost a gem. Superintendent Trotter read a tele gram from Prof. Houk, who Is III at Philadelphia, and thereforo could nor keep ;his engagement to address th?T nidation ltort night. Being minus this J-'blg gunv" Mr. Trotter, said the "rapid fire gurur would bo called on to till tho gap. "The County Instltuto" was the topic of discussion, opened by Mr. Trottei4, wtop said he had.nppllcatloris from all manner of men and women for the po sition of Instructors at the institutes, and he said ail couldn't bo accommo dated, one reason being that many of the applicants were not lltted for in structors. ' ?Proft Thomas C. Miller, of Morgan town, followed, and said he believed the time' was at hand for tho substi tution of district Institute# for county Institutes. He would have a district Institute 1 it each county for three days, and a county mans convention for two days. 'Ho offered this plan- aa a sug gestion. * Tho discussion here ceased, and Miss Elsie Gurgling favored' the audience with two splendldly.sung solos, an en- i core being Insisted on. Superintendent William M. Foulk, of | Piedmont, continued the discussion. IIo didn't want the' verdict Tendered that tho county Institutes were failures, though they were not always success ful, and he believed that their lack of the deslreti success wa? due to Incom petent Instructors, If the teachers , didn't pay good attention, and kept "writing notes," it was largely the fault t of the instructor, who should- have magnetism enough to hold his audi ence. , Mr. Wilkinson, of Grafton, thought West Virginia county Institutes lacked the enthusiasm of other states, The at tendance wasn't what It should bo. Mr. Wilkinson thought the teachers should get an education in a school higher than the one- they tench. L. J. Corbly, of Huntington, concurred with Mr. Foulk that-institute instruct ors were often Incompetent, lie in stanced the success, or rather the smoothness an Instructor enjoyed who studied a drummer's Joke book, and the love-making teachers petitioned for his i recall next year, because he amused them so. Mr. Corbly stirred the path- j erlng up by saying that no superin tendent or professor in the state unl- I versity had a right to instruct an In stitute. The professors may teach a subject at the university, but shouldn't instruct an institute of country teach ers. He argued for broader and better instructors in the future. Dr. E. M. TurneT, of Morgan!own, a former president of the West Virginia University, next spoke. He claimed part of the credit for the creation of county institutes. His observation was that ar. Instructor was trying to teach a het erogeneous mass of.teachers who ought to be teacherr. and teachers who ought not to b? teachers, therefore the In- j structors were often talking above the heads of the latter class. Dr. Turner didn't believe in drilling too many) methods, because teaching is a spiritual art. The speaker knew'of a man in this state who has a great reputation as an instructor simply because he works off Bill Nye's and other frivolous jokes. Another trouble in getting a success ful institute is because so many people are in the teaching profession, not from chojce, ar.d intend to leave it in a few years, consequently they have no real Interest in the institute, and attend only because it's compulsory. The teaching profession must be elevated by ?the earnest teachers, and poor teachers be kept out. Dr. Turner was in favor of the county superintendent determin ing whether teachers should be hired for another "year. Adjournment took place at 10 o'clock. 8T MARY'S SCHOOL Commencfment Lm*t Evening?'The Ex cellent Programme vtll Ileinleretl. The closing exercises of St. Mary's parochial school were held last evening, in the presence of a large and apprecia tive audience, and the excellent rnusic .al and literary programme was car ried out in a finished manner.

Tliis gives Campbell twenty-five dele gates and Dovener twenty In the county. As the votes in the convention will fc* cast by districts according to the vote for McKlnley, Campbell will have the advantage by having secured the'delegates in Moundsvllle and Ben wood,where the heaviest votes are .poll ed, and will give him about twenty-four of the county's thirty-six votes. So far as can be learned Nixon has sufliclent delegates to nominate him on tho llrst ballot for house of delegates, but there Is no certainty who will cap ture the second place.
