Can't Marshall have a s~parate board; It might relieve some of the monotonous, obstructive paralle lism that now impedes progress in more ways than one, not only in tht- parent normal but ln one or more of the branches. We are simply in­quiring, that is all, for we like the "one board to each school" idea.

-:-We very much hope to see the

schedule of salaries for the normal school and its branches changed at the nf'xt meeting of the board, especially all below the principal. The teachers in these schools, from the principal down, are very much underpaid, especially the assistants. W e hope to see credit given new teachers for work done in other normals, academies, high grade high schools, and other work giving valuable experience to normal teach­ers. But we hope also to see the min­imum educational requirement for po­s!Lons in the normals very decidedly raised.

We have known Mr. MIiler since we were a mere boy and have followed his career closely. Every move he has ma.de in ed­ucation has been in favor of progress, in favor of an educated as against a crammed teaching force in West Virginia. Mr. Miller never made any such ruling we shall venture, and more than once have we heard the broad and brainy attorney general of this state, the Hon. Clark W. May, e>.press hlmse1f in very decided terms not only against the old plan of a county for cramming purposes, but against such a theory of education as ruakes the teacher a mere creature, intimidated ad libi tum by the coun­t1 superintendent, dictated to as to where he shall attend school.

ninth inning ended and still i t was a tie, but it did not long r emain so. Morris Harvey bunched 2 hits and the same number of errors al the most cri tical stage of the game gave them the victory.

Amid a threatening rain storm by which the progress of the game was first delayed and then stopped by a. vHitable downpour of rain, the third and last game was played in Hunting­ton Driving Park. Marshall's batters kept M. H . C.'s outfield busy, but superb fielding kept the bits down to j t•st one, which was made by Holton. Hard luck in the third Inning kept Marshall from winning. Then it was that Haddox was batted hard. Bar­nE-tt lined out wlbat looked to be a home run, but it was against a hard wind and was successfully fielded in deep left fielcl after Barnett had al­r ('ady passed second base. The same misfortune befell Myers' long drive. Ir, the meantime the visitors had al­ready scored and in the n ext inn1ng K eener lined out a home run, win• r.ing the gamo by two scores.
