closed, and many of those in operation NOT run
ming to their capacity, or on fun time /; and
nearly every other industry was affected in,
juriously to q greater or lesser extent. Many
men were out of employment. and the so-caIled
"tramps" were SO numerous that the General
Assembly, in its wisdom, sought to suppress
the excesses charged against this large body of
idle men by the enactment OF strong repressive
legislation.
The close of the year finds the number Of fur
naces, mills, mines and foundries in operation
largely increased; those in operation worked
to their full capacity workmen more steadily
employed and their number increased to such
an extent that the vast majority of those who,
for five years have been denounced as
tramps 'rmen who preferred to beg or steal
rather than Work-have secured employment,
have become producers as well as consumers,

THE REVISION OF THE GENERAL STATUTES,
Which took effect on tho first day this year,
and, the appendix thereto, containing all the
laws OF general or great local interest not en-
braced IN the Revision have been punhsned ~
the State, in two volumes, and distributed ac-
/ rording to law. The Importance Of this work

all the general laws of the State now in force in
| a convenient form and the exhaustive annota-
| t;ons illustrating the text by reference to the
rulinos of Sunreme Court. and the full aualyt tic
index with which the work closes. can not fail to
| make it accepiable to all, and to reflect credit
on those who protected it and those who exc
cuted it. 1t is to be hoped that the revision
Twill have greater degree of permanence than
/ the desire far change has heretofore accorded
to former and less complete revisions. General
laws should not be readily changed. In this
connection take the liberty to suggest that nc
law of the land should be passed TO take enec'
immediately.
COMMON SCHOOLS.
The expenditure of 81 LII 1925 for the main
tenance of common schools during the last
scholastic year, is a fact going to show that the
people of Ohio are not losing interest in the
cause of education. It seems to be admitted
that the schools Of our cities are second to none
in their system of organization and manage
ment, tho professional skill and high charac'
ters of their teachers, the proportion oil th'
youth of school age which is under instructor
and the merit OF the work done. Tne pest
