BOARD OF EDUCATION ELEcTtoN We see by
the last Democrat that our democratic Board OF
Education have issued call for meeting at
the Union School House to morrow night. The
object of the meeting is to elect two members
of the Board and to transact such other business
as may come before it. We regard this as the
most important election, to this town, that has
occurred since the last meeting for the same
purpose. Upon the proper management OF our
Union Schools depends, in great measure, the
good name Of Perrysburg. The Board of Flu
cation should be composed of our most judicious
friends of Education-of men whose everyday
conduct is worthy of imitation--men who are
not addicted to habits of dissipation, profanity,
and gambling. For what would a stranger
think of the general character Of a town were
| he compelled, if in search for the Board, to go
into some doggery, or perhaps into its back
room, to find them? Education and good
morals should be, and in the minds of most
men are, Ultimately associated. 1t shocks our
moral sensibilities just as much to hear of a
member of the Board of Education getting
drunk, gambling, or fighting, as it would to see
minister of the Gospel selling rot-gut whiskey
at three cents glass. There is certain fitness
Of things which should be observed in all cases,
and one OF the most important instances OF the
kind requires that all those having charge of the
youth of the country should possess at least
good moral characters. Let every good citizen
therefore, be present tomorrow night. 1t you
value your own regulations and the proper train
ing of your children, see to it that good anc
true men are selected for the important office tt
| be filled

We have been an attentive reader of the Per-
augsburg Journal, since the great "awakening -
has taken place in Perrysburg, with the hope that
we would be able to record the fact that our
friend Higgins had renounced the error of his
ways; but, alas the meeting has closed and
left him out of the ark of safety" Poor

We are pleased to know that we are vet occu-
pying ground hichjustifes our friends in hoping
for improvement. The fact is, like most men,
we have our aspirations, and having been some
what trained in the arts of office seeking it has
occurred to us that the general rule for promo
tion requires low standard of morality, while
religion is entirely out of the question. As vet
we know but little about gambling except what
we have learned from hearsay I'VE cannot take
more than two or three moderate drinks without
getting the blind staggers, and have not learned
to enjoy the "sports" of back room donation

entirely and resolve to do near right as posi-

Board of Education, or elected to some ''execu-
tive or peace office? We began to lose all
hope for friend Knox when he commenced spec
yulating in sheep in Knox county, and when he
engaged in western land speculations we knew
he was "goneI." When the Devil gets that
