NOVEMBER 1922 Number 1Vol. 15

EDITORIALSTHE MONTHLYannounces with pride the unusually large en-

rollment of students for this beginning of the fiscal year. FromSeptember 20 to October 10, the registrar's office showed that 340students had matriculated.

This total excluded a number who, from a lack of scholarshipor financial requirements, were unable to qualify for residence.

The gratifying and unusual features of this announcement arethat this enrollment, for the incomplete portion of the first monthis considerably in excess of the total enrollment of the regular en-rollment of the school for the year of 1921-1922.

The greatest increase is shown in the Normal and Collegecourses. The latest figures from the registrar's office are. Normalstudents, 31, College students, 99. When it is considered that en-trants in the Normal and College courses must be graduates of four-year high schools, and that an examination of the history cards ofthese disclose that all but seven of the freshmen are the product ofWest Virginia High Schools, we realize to a very marked degree,how well the public school system of the State is correlating for theestablishment of a State-wide educational system that shall not beinferior to the most progressive in the United States, and shallmake West Virginia capable of taking care of the education of itscitizens along any line.

The MONTHLYhas contended, throughout its short and variedlife, that a dynamic sentiment for the establishment of first-classgrade., first-class secondary schools, and first-class colleges, couldbe created and firmly planted only through the hearty cooperationoi Negro principals, their patrons, and the professional race menof high intelligence.

It has sought the cooperation of all the prominent Negro edu-ca~Ol'sto this end. It has endeavored to crystalize into a compactunity, the nebulus sentiment anent our educational needs, so thatthe school system may be all-sufficient for the demands of all with-in the borders of West Virginia.

The Institute Monthly 3

The presence of many high school graduates among the newentrants, is tangible evidence that our efforts are bringing rich andabundant rewards.

Indeed, it is a cause for additional emotions of pleasure to dis-cover that students from reputable schools from without the state,have applied for entrance.

All departments of the Collegiate Institute have felt the effectsof the increased enrolllment. This is especially noticeable in thecollegiate department, where one hundred twenty-nine have matric-ulated. There are other movements in Negro educational centersof West Virginia, that show the drift towards union and coopera-tion for the best in education. The delegates to the Negro HighSchools' Athletic Convention assembled in Parkersburg the firstweek in October, at which representatives from all the first gradeschools were present, and some from schools of lower rating.

A more detailed account of this meeting is given elsewhere inthese columns, but it is relevant to our purpose to state that themeasures adopted at this meeting, if carried out, will be far-reach-ing towards hastening the consummation of a close relationshipamong the units of the state's school system in so far as coloredfolk are concerned.

NEW INSTRUCTORS

The number of the teaching force has been increased to meetthe increased demands of the class rooms. The new instructors are:Mr. G. Victor Cools, (M. A., Illinois), Professor of Economics; Mr.George W. Brown, (M. A., Western Reserve), Professor of History;Mr. John F. Matheus, (A. M., Columbia), Professor of RomanceLanguages; Miss Essie J. Anderson, (B. S., Kansas State College),Instructor in Home Economics, and Miss Portia J. Spennie, (PrattInstitute), Instructor in Domestic Art.

The laboratories have been equipped with new apparatus. Thelibrary has received a number of new volumes, thus meeting, in ameasure, an urgent demand.

Th~ ~fficiencyof the printing department has been increased bythe addItIon of a Mergenthaler Linotype, Model 14. This, with theprospective addition of an automatic folder, and a cylinder press,

4 The Institute Monthly

will make an exceptionally well equipped shop--an industrial lab-oratory from which a journeyman may go well prepared for any de-mands of his trade.

Owing to the increased demand, the school is making plans forthe establishment of extension courses. The teachers of the State,and others, desiring to take advantage of this kind of work, will beinformed when the plans are completed.

SUCCESSFUL SUMMER SESSIONCONDUCTED

RIDAY, AUGUST11, marked the close of the most sue-from six to nine weeks, all previous attendance recordscessful summer school ever held by the West VirginiaCollegiate Institute. Although the term was increased

were excelled. About four hundred teachers were present, exceed-ing even the enrollment of the regular school term.

Institute's Advantages

The decided advantages of attending the summer school at theWest Virginia Collegiate Institute are gradually being realized bythe colored teachers of the State. In the first place, the summer ses-sion is an extension of the regular school term, and not a make-shift period, designed to provide numerous seekers with the illusionthat they have obtained a few hours credit during their spare mo-~ents. Instruction is given by the members of the regular facultyIII the standard courses of the scholastic year. Additional coursesare. offered, whenever neccessary, by specialists of established repu-t~bon, such as Professor H. L. Dickason, of Bluefield Colored Ins-titute, whose courses in Methods in Arithmetic and Methods inGeography are always filled to their utmost capacity.

High Standard of Lecturers

In addition the t d d .. ,s an ar of lectures this summer came up tothe highest expectations. The best of the previous lecturers were


here again, while their ranks were increased by other specialistsand members of the faculty. Among the summer's lecturers wereDr. Guy Montrose Whipple, from the University of Michigan, Dr.G. Franklin Bobbit, of the University of Chicago, Dr. WalterBarnes, Vice-principal of the Fairmont Normal School, Dr. HenryNeuman, of the Ethical Culture Society of Brooklyn, New York,Hon. J. Frank Marsh, Secretary of the State Board of Education,Hon. W. W. Sanders, of the Advisory Council, Hon. J. WalterBarnes, of the State Board of Control, Mrs. George S. Laidley,whose texts on English for primary work and junior high schoolshave been recently adopted by the State, and Dr. Francis C. Sum-ner, and Professors Daniel L. Ferguson, William F. Savoy, andGeorge D. Brock, of the faculty of the West Virginia Collegiate In-stitute. All lectures were largely attended, and the informal dis-cussions given in the afternoons were of great benefit to those pres-ent.

Recreation

Realizing that constant work without recreation might bringabout disastrous results, the faculty spared no effort to promoteplay and suitable diversion for the summer school students. Theswimming class, organized and promoted by Mr. Savoy, was a greatsuccess. The ladies' baseball games provided adequate interest.The five tennis courts were constantly crowded, whenever theweather permitted. Early morning hikes caused untold fun andaching feet. The motion picture entertainments on Friday andSaturday nights were well attended. All of these activities wereentered into with great enthusiasm on the part of everyone. Facul-ty and students, after working together most earnestly, strove to-gether in a track and field meet. Many who never knew that workand play coulld be properly combined with mutual benefit, discov,ered that secret this summer.

Institute Carries Out State Program

The work done at the West Virginia Collegiate Institute hasmerely been in keeping with the program of the State, to better theeducational facilities and to raise the standard of instruction inWest Virginia to the highest level. The s~mmer school is the logicalmeans for carrying out this program WIthout seriously handicap-


ping the regular work. Furthermore, as the summer school is at-tended chiefly by teachers or prospective teachers, it is possib:e tolay emphasis on work meeting their particular needs. The Negroteachers of the State have been responding most eagerly to the callfor higher education, better instruction, and greater efficiency, andabout seventy-five per cent of them studied at Institute and else-where this summer. Through them the instruction of approximate-ly ten thousand pupils and future citizens of our nation will be in-fluenced.

To this end President Davis and the faculty spared no pains tobring about the very best results. Everything was done to makethe stay for all both pleasant and beneficial. How well this was ac-complished may be judged from the attitude of the teachers them-selves, who, durinig the last week of the session, adopted the follow-ing resolutions:

WHEREAS,the Faculty of The West Virginia Collegiate Institute underthe wise guidance and direction of President John W. Davis has inauguratedand maintained for nine weeks a Summer School of which we are justly proudand

WHEREASsaid Faculty has not only set a high standard of efficiency andmanifested a remarkably devotion to duty, but also has shown themselves aliveto the most enlightened tendencies in educational thought, both by their ad-vanced methods, and by a judicious combination of work and play which hasmade our sojourn not only highly profitable, but also delightfully pleasant,therefore be it

Resolved, That we hereby express our gratitude to the educational author-ities of West Virginia, and to President Davis and his able Faculty for mak-iing available for us the advantages we have enjoyed.

Be it further Resolved: That we heartily commend the disposition on thepart of the administration to bring to us the best talent obtainable, that these~'esolutions be published in The Insitute Monthly, The Charleston GazetteI'he Evening Mail and The McDowell Times also that a copy be placed in thearchives of the Institution.

ANNUAL FAIR AND FARMERS' ANDHOME-MAKERS' INSTITUTE

HE Annual Fair and Farmers' and Home-Makers' Insti-tute of The West Virginia Collegiate Institute which hasbeen formerly held the latter part of January, took placeat the institution this year on October 19-20.

T is change in the date of the Fair was made to accommodatethe many farmers "living out in the rural districts, who had here-tofore found it impossible to attend on account of the bad conditionof the roads during January. The choice canned vegetables andfruit put up by the housewife had often been used for the Christ-mas dinner and on several occasions the fruit cake and the turkeythat were to be exhibited at the Fair could not be held over for thislate date. With the Fair in October, while the roads were good, thewinter supply of canned stuff not yet touched, the farm products inabundance and live stock on good pasture, the managers of the Fairfound difficulty in finding room to install all of the exhibits.

SOME SPECIAL FEATURES

Sixteen varieties of soy beans were tested out on the Institutefarm this summer and were exhibited at the Fair. The variety bestsuited for hay, beans, and green manuring were pointed out by anexpert. Demonsti ations were given in canning and preservingvegetables and fruits. Some of the best Duroc-J ersey hogs in theState, and the West Virginia Poultry House planned by the StateUniversity, were on exhibit.

Lectures on all subjects pertaining to the farm garden, homeand school were given in the Chapel each day.

Our plan is to make the Fair an institution of learning for peo-p.e of all ages, who wish to improve their home and community sur-rounding. At the Institute Fair, one is able to gain new viewpoints,get information and give information.

A detailed list of prizes awarded will be given in our next is-sue.


MEMORIAL EXERCISESJOH L. SHEPHERD

1894-1922

Mr. Shepherd entered the Col-legiate Institute as trainee of thesoldier's rehabilitation depart-ment of the United States gov-ernment. In his over sea servicehe had been gassed, and he suf-fered from this at times, andthere is no doubt, but that itbrought about the complicationsthat ended his brief, but promis-ing career.- The impressive services wereobserved in Hazlewood Hall, andwere witnessed by a large, atten-tive audience composed of stu-dents and citizens from the vil-lage.

included under the followingheads:
