Ks- The Teachers Institute. "
This week Clarksburg has the
pleasure of entertaining the annual
Harrison county Institute fSr teach
ers. The Institute is an event of Im
portance in school work and li al
ways looked forward to with much
happy.expectancy, both by lta mem
bers and the residents of the place,
In which it Is held.
Able instructors have been secur
ed and the state superintendent has
prepared and had printed an Inter
esting program in pamphlet form,
with much information relating to
school work. Xo pains have been
spared by the school authorities to
make the Institute profitable and
pleasant to all Its members and the
many visitors who are wont to bo
present.
The success of the present insti
tute, therefore, now depends largely
upon the teachers themselves. They
will profit by its sessions nccordlns
to the Interest they take. That all
are eager to listen and learn the
Telegram has not the shadow of a
doubt, and it Is its hope that the
present institute will prove Itself of
great usefulness and have a far
reaching effect for good In the cause
of education.
On behalf of the citizens generally
of Clarksburg the Telegram extends
the teacherB and instructors a most
hearty welcome and hopes their so
journ here this week will be a pleas
ant period of their lives.
The Monument,
It is gratifying to realize that
the Grand Army ladles are meeting
with splendid success in their un
dertaking to erect a soldiers' monu
ment here. The final result of
their efforts will be a lesson in pa
triotism every time eyes are turneil
toward the monument. Many per
sons have contributed liberally to the
cause and still others ought to share
In its glory. The shaft is to be
placed on the grounds by September
20, but' It is not likely the unveil
ing will take place for some time
afte&oth^t* (Unless the neco^sajv
funds have all been raised.
The unveiling will be an auspic
ious event, attracting thousands of
visitors to the city as prominent
speakers from other points will be
on the program. Possibly, the Pres
ident of the United States will lie
the orator of the day.
In view of all this those who have
not yet contributed to this fund
should do so at once. The contri
butions may be left at the Telegram
office and receipts will lie given
therefor.
It si-ems the Parkersb'urg Dispatch
News has been driven to Insolence
and Into a mighty fury because the
Telegram asked It to explain why it
had no political alliance with the
leading representatives of the Re
publican party in West Virginia, or
to state whether it would continue
as a Republican paper. A simple
explanation by it would have clear
ed away what Its own utterance Im
plied, that is, that it had pome mind
of Its own not to be a Republican
paper any longer, but It dodged in
stead. which is enough for the Re
publican papers to base an effort on
to read It out of the party. How
ever, the Telegram counsels forbear
ance yet awhile, in the hope that the
DIspatch-New6 will make a satisfac
tory explanation. If it so wlll3. It
can be very useful to the Republican
party, and none who desire Repub
lican success want It to withdraw
its Influence.
The antl-splttlng ordinance passed
by the city council Is quite sensible
both as to the sanitary point and
common decency. Its enforcement
is what should be Insisted on now.
It is a radical change. It is true, but
the general public Is aware of its
existence. Resides, the Woman's
Civic Club, comprised of many of the
woman of the city, have jpledged co
operation, and, it will be a danger
ous thing to expectorate on the
street no matter where one may be
as these lady sleuths may see the
act' and It is a foregone conclusion
they will report It. Read the ordi
nance In another column nf this pa
per and make up your mind at once
to obey It, or you will Bureiy gel Into
trouble.
The county court and the city
council were aroused to action, when
the TMegram told them Rome plain
truths yesterday about that terrible
holo of foul matter at the corner of
Factory and East Pike streets. At
last night's session of the council
the two bodies were not very long
getting together for the purpose of
abating the nuUance.
The State board of healtfi has Its
eye this way, the Telegram Is glad
to note, and, besides the appointment,
of a health board comprised of cer
tain specified oOlclalB, It has that eye
squinted on that terrible cess pool
the county court and the city council
have at last agreed to abate. Quick
action Is what Is demanded.
After repeated efforts the Tele
gram has succeeded In gotlng an or
der passed by the city council to
abate some of tho stagnant water
holes at various points, and, In par
ticular, those on Sixth street.
That was a meritorious honor
Judge Charles W. Lynch received
from the Harrison County Sabbath
School Association, when It elected
him Its president for the anBulng
year.
Does Mayor Crlle Intend to do
anything?
Johnson and I'nving.
Councilman Johnson has resorted
to every Imaginable excuse to block
the paving of Baltimore street. In
the start he emphasized the declara
tion that he certainly did want Bnl*
tlmore street paved and ever after
that proceeded to delay the move
ment In that direction. For weeks
he succeeded In having the matter
postponed on one pretext or'another,
urit 1J the council ceased to have pa
tience and wisely concluded It was
l>est to delay the matter no longer.
This did not prevent Mr. Johnson
from making further objections every
time he had the slightest opportun
ity and up to the very last ho held
out against paving, grasping at every
straw to prevent It If possible. HiB
last struggle against It Monday night
Just before tho contract was award
ed was most pathetic, but It wob a
case of considering the public inter
ests rather than his feelings and
that Is what the council thought
uhout It.
So, they awarded the contract and
said pave, notwithstanding hlB pro
test to the very last. He voted
agalnBt paving Just aB It was claimed
all along he would do, when tho
final test oame.
The antl-Bplttlng ordinance meetB
with general approval, but is seems
ridiculous for the council to take
surh action In view of the fact that
In some sections hog pens are al
most on the sidewalks and have an
odor so foul that passersby are all
but knocked down. Perhaps, it
would be well for the health of the
community for the city authorities
to get busy In abating hog pens,
when they are found to be nuisances
'.Ike one or two are on Montlcello
avenue. It seems a little bit out of
the ordinary to limit the filthy actions
of man and give hogs unlimited
privilege to spread filth. Why not
look after the hogs, too?
Hirrl?nn county is a powerful
thing, bo powerful that It actually
"?mnn: open a pond that has formed
itself Into a body of stagnant water.
Perhaps, If the county were weaker,
It would have no trouble whatever
concluding to open the sewer. Power
some times turns the heads of pen
pie. It takes so much time to think
and talk about their power that
they have no time to put it Into exe
cution.
According to the census taken by
the city assessor this year there aro
but four hundred and llfty-slx color
ed people iu Clarksburg, or a little
over six per cent, of the population
Is colored. Yet, one hears n Demo
cratic politician frequently during
campaigns howling about the colored
people taking the town The figures
show all such assertions to be erron
eous.
As the city council Is powerless
to act In the matter of the big cess
pool that body might at least give
the pool a name and theerafter look
upon it as a lake that attracts the
attention of every one but affords no
pleasure/ By all means name It.

ARTICLE WRITTEN
BT MR. BIIRDETTE
(living Hi* Ideas of Written Work in
the Elementary In An
Able One.
City Superintendent F. L. Bur
dette, ably discussing in the current
number of The Educator, "Written1
Work In the Elementary." ends the
article as follow.":
Since written composition in con- j
riection with English is to constitute |
rhe bulk of written work for the \
Momentary school according to thi ?
( heme, I shaJV present a brief out-1
line of that work gathered from my
observation of some authority who,
has put It in practice, even at the
risk of being tedious and uninterest
ing. This Is intended only as n
outline of written work, and suple
rnents the larger amount of oral
work.
Third Year -Simple naratlon
should be rleled upon, as the basi.s!
of written work; the material of a
single paragraph should'be written;
sentences in simple form then com
bined; observance of the sifpler j
conventionalities.
Fourth Year?Imitation of model j
compositions;; short reproductions: .
dictations and letter writing; It^ren-j
tional composition: further devel-i
opment of the paragraph; English
conventionalities. ? i
Fifth Year?Complete compost-1
Hon required for the firsUtime; Im-j
itation of simple narration and
stories; the simple paragraph fully i
developed; Inventional composition
Introduced; letter writing ami con
ventionalities continued.
Sixth Year?Practice In dimple In
vention; complete composition in
volving several paragraphs; business
forms and letters: principles of good
form; -correspondence.
Seventh *Vear Compositions, and
their !>eginn!ng.m iddle and eud:
orderly arrangements and sequence
of events; th eprlnclpal and subordi
nate paragraph taught; relation of
paragraphs to whole theme; outline
of compositions presented In class.
Eighth Yea ;?Stress on the unity
of the composition: proper arrange
ment of materials: principal and su
bordinate matters; reports of out
side events; ;proper observance ot
all conventionalities, close scrutiny
and criticism.
In concluding this paper a word
should be added on the practical
phase of written work. Aside from
the training It gives in facility ami
accuracy of thought and expression.
It has an Immediate value In dally
use. The trend of this discussion
has been to emphasize the points
needing especial- stress in school
work, and to suggest a remedy for
some practices that render written
work too burdensome. But It Is
not claimed that It should be cast
aside at any point In the school, nor
that it Is other than essential art In
dally" practice through life. It Is
essential to the school room Ijj de
veloping all subjects and correlating
them into one whole. It becomes
so useful in the later years of the
school that it is a fair bases for de
termining real progress in mental
growth and power. In the business
world It is an art that renders the
dally task easy and efficient In mat
ters of clerical detail. In the field
of literature It is a chief Instrument
of enjoyment and happiness. To
many It becomes a means of daily
employment, to all it Is the source
of dally supply In the newspaper,
periodical, magazine, and book. All
the people must write some, and to
some the power of writing is given
as to a master and leader.

i he hid of Mr. Fuccy being the low

Superintendent Edward Doyle
stated that he had taken some of the

came back. In the near future It Is
probable the city will have the lake
fenced In and will give it an appro
