ieep at its perennial spring of knowl-
edge. Its graduates have taken promi-
nent positions in all the walks of life,
and no institution, when we compare il
by the number of alumni, has gradu-
ated so many distinguished men as
Miami university. In early years its
position was SO high and it occupied
such commanding influence that it
was known as the yale of the West.
In later years, as the sons of this fa-
nous institution were SO frequently
honored with grave and responsible
public duties, it has been named The
Mother of Statesmen"
a glance at the alumni roll of Miami
university shows that this institution
is justly entitled to these popular
phrases. In the class of 1852 we see
the name of Hon. Benjamin Harrison,
distinguished lawyer, senator, president
of the United States. IN the same class
we see the name of David Swing. the
great pulpit orator, who preached every
Sunday TO thousands in the Auditorium
at Chicago until his death a few years
ago. In this class we see also the name
Of Milton Sayler, at one time speaker
of the national house of representatives.
In the class of 1856 we notice the
name Of that great editor. Whitelaw

The ladies were chaj mIDgly attired
with enough variation in costume to
avoid the impression OF attempted sf-
feet. Some of the dresses were made
after q truly marvellous fashion but
were all neat, tasteful and we'll calcu-
lated to show the owner off at her best
advantage. 1t could hardly be stated
however, that these dresses were re-
sponsible IN q great measure for the
many lavish compliments applied pro-
misciously to each member. We dare
tell truthfully that the Mozarts have
ample gossip to sustain some very ex-
travagant views which may be distaste-
full to that portion who regard person
al beauty and grace as unworthy of re

But let that be as it may, or submit the
deciding vote to either vanity or mod

music.
In an indefinite way we remark that
the music was equally interesting to
the critic of sound or technique. The
skilful ear might occasionally detect a
mar in the delicscy of touch or a mo-
mentary break in the continuity of in
spiration, but that was all. The exc
cution, and that of certain ones above
others was indeed marvellous. As for
that critic with vivid imagination
and metric ear, ample opportunity
was afforded to loose himself and soar
away on purple pillows into the most
remote realms of dream land.
In the gypsy scene those who imper-

One serious objection was fOun0 to
the rendition of Jack and Jill Ii these
notable travellers climbed hill to such
music as that, we assert the story must
be untrue, for Jill was allowed no Op-

fact, the whole business was incOnsis-
tent. Every time Jack hesitated in the

MIAMI UNIVERSITY.
Seventy-Fifth Anniversary of "The
Mother of Statesmen"
Origin and History Of the Institu n on
MANY Distinguished Men Num-
bered Among It's Graduates
The Exercises In June.

The seventy-fifth anniversary of the
founding of Miami university, which
will be celebrated the week OF June
IL, will be one of the most important
college events of the present year, for
the reason that ii is the diamond ami
Scrsary of the first and most famous
college founded in the west, and that
it will be a reunion of many of our most
prominent public men, who have been
students within its halls.
Miami university was born in the
spirit of the great ordinance of 17s7,
one of the chief mandates of which is
that religion. morality and knowledge,
being necessary TO good government
and the happiness of mankind, schools
and the means of education shall ever
be encouraged. Pursuant to this. con-
gress provided that one complete town
ship should be reserved, out of the
land grant To John Cleves Symmes in
1892. for the support of an institution
for higher education. In 1909 the state
of Ohio accepted the trust of manage
ment of such an institution and passed
Ian act to establish Miami university' ~
In 1918 the construction of the build
ings was begun. and in 1924 the trustees
opened this college under the presi-
dency of DR.. Robert ii. Bishop. who con-
secrated his life TO he orga and
upbulding of the college.
Miami university at the outset took
high rank, and the youth of the first
families of the west and south drank

TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOLS.
The New Laws OccasiOning Some Com
plants.

The New Laws Occasioning Some Com
plants.
The new transfer law is not exactly
clear to many people. Some complaint
has been made in regard to the exact
meaning of the measure.
Section 2 says: "If such transfer is
granted the school trustees or boards of
school trustees, or commissioners of the
school corporation in which such child
legally resides shall pay out of the spe-
cial fund to the school trustee, board of
school trustees or commissioners of the
school corporation to which such child
is transferred, as tuition for such child,
the sum of S150 school month for
any grade of instruction below the high
school, and the sum of SO month for
high school instruction. The law fur
ther provides that if he application for
transfer be denied by the trustee an ap-
peal may be taken to the county super
intendent and from him to the state
superintendent of public instruction,
whose decision shall be final.
In many parts of the state, and par
ticularly in the northern part, where the
lines of railroad running east and west
are numerous, 1t has been the custom to
send children to the high schools in cor
poratiOns east and west of the one in
which they reside, 30 that the children
can go to and from their homes by
train. So general has this become that
the railroads sell special book of tick
cts for lis use The high schools of
many of these townships are loc sted
three or four miles from the homes of
those living on lines of railroads, and
to observe the first law quoted would
make it necessary for these children to
drive that distance to get to the schools
in their townships The same condi
tiOns obtain in the southern part of the
state, but IN that portion the railroads
are north and south. Several of the
trustees of these townships have refused
to transfer the CT ildren, and claim that
under the first law quoted they are pro
hibited from paying more than so tut
ton, while under the second for high
school instruction during term of nine
months they are called on to pay $27
The trustees claim that the intent of
the first law to require children resid-
ing in school corporation where there
is "a high school to attend such school,
and if tn, transfer would be made in
accordance with the second law the diff
ference Of S17 would come out of their
own pockets. Attorney General Taylor
said that the question of tuition was
one the state superintendent would
have to solve, and he was glad of the
opportunity to refer the question to
| him,

Weekly Independent Enlarged.

With this issue of the Marshall
county Independent, we present a de-
cidedly improved paper, it being en-
larged from a six CO umn quartO to q
seven column folio. This increases
the size just eight columns and the
columns are all heightened nearly two
inches. Thus We are now able to give
our readers fully IA columns of extra
reading matter more than we have
given heretofore, counting the increas-
ed length OF columns and the addition
al columns Moreover, the leaves are
cut and pasted, thus avoiding the
trouble of turning the paper wrong side
out in order to read the inside pages.
We know that our subscribers will ap-
preciste this improvement. The price
of the paper will remain the same. We
have decided to enlarge because the
growing popularity of the Marshall
County Independent warrants it and it
is our purpose to keep on adding I'M
provements in the future. Other papers
boast of their age and their wonderful
machinery but the Independent is the
only Marshall county paper which goes
right along improvlng-ln Other words,
it is the paper that "saws wood" and
allows its "wOrks" to do its talking.

the class of 1888. William 5. Groesleck.
who defended President Andrew John
son in the famous Impeachment trial,
and whose speech on that occasion elec-
tritied the whole country, was gradu-
ated in 1884. OF his classmates may be
mentioned John j. McCrea, at one time
governor of Mississippi and later a con-
gressman; Rev. Joseph u. Monfort,
who has been editor of The Herald and
Presbyter since 1853, and who enjoys
the distinction of being the Oldest liv-
ing alumnus of this institution, and
Rev. Thomas f. Thomas, a noted min
lister and college president. William
Dennison. the great war governor of
Ohio, who had the distinction of being
postmaster-general in Lincoln's sec
ond cabinet. was a member OF the class
Of 1885. This also brings TO mind that
Caleb b. Smith, student in the thir-
ties, was secretary of the interior in
President Lincoln's first cabinet.
In the class of 1896 we notice that
James Birney attained great eminence
and represented the United States at
The Hague for seven years. James B.
Howell. of the class of 1887. and John
Stuart Williams. known as 'Cerro Cor
do" Williams, of the class of 1888, both
served in the United States senate, the
former from Iowa, the latter from Ken
lucky. George f. Pugh, of the class
of 1910, was one of the distinguished
senators from Ohio at the outbreak of
the rebellion. Charles III. Hardin, of
the class of 1S41. served the state of
Missouri as its governor for two years.
His classmate, Samuel Shellabarger.
attained the greatest eminence as law
yer, and was appointed United States
minister To Portugal by President Grant
in 1869. but resigned two years later
to accept a position on the United States
civil service commission. Oliver T.
Morton, who was a student for three
years, from 1912 to 1s45, was the cele-
brated war governor of Indiana and

married again, the bishop should preach
the doctrine that the clergy should be
more particular about whom they marry.
No couple with marriage license finds
difficulty in securing preacher to tie
the knot If it is matter of conscience,
one would think that q preacher would
be more uneasy in mind because of
having offlcisted at the wedding of q
divorced person who may have found
his second matrimonial venture happy
One In other words, as the clergy have
nothing to do with the divorce laws,
they should exercise ell the more care
about whom they marry in the first
place.-Hsrtford City News.

Youngest Horse Thief In These Parts.
Sheriff Marshall has now in custody
one whom may be termed the youngest
horse thief ever caught in Marshall
county. Geo. Peterson is the young
cul. rlt's name. He came from Kansas
City with some movers over year ago
Parents or sympathetic relatives he has
none. The other day he ran away from
the Drummond farm where he had
been working taking with him, old Rex,
the family horse. Jim Drummond lost
no time in persuiDg the bold adventur-
er and soon was awarded by overtaking
him. He now awaits trial. In justice
to the boy it might be remarked that
he exhibits sorrOwful spirit and seems
really penitent. Should he be sent to
the reform school he might be made an
honest and useful man.

How TO ANALYzE WATER. "A
standard authority, The Family Ply
sician, published by the medical asso.
citation at No. 10 West Thirty-second
street, New York city, editorially
states in its June number:
"It would be we'll for those who 60
to the country, to summer resorts, or
elsewhere, to know something of the
water they may have to drink-wheth-
er it is pure or de6led. Should there
be cases of typhoid fever in the neigh
borbood the water may be suspected
of being the cause. In the absence of
means to make an exhaustive analysis
anyone can make fairly good test of
the wholesomeness of the water at the
cost of few cents. Saturated solu-
ton of permangauate of potash can be
obtained in any drugstore. If, when
drop of this solution is added to
glass of water, the water changes to
brown color, it is unfit to drink, but if
it remains clear or slightly rose-color-
ed after an hour, it is safe to assume
that no evil effects will result from
drinking it,"

have occurred in the two and a halt
years of its life have been very unusual.
Six cabinet officers in all have resigned
their portfolios either to retire to pri-
vate life or to accept other positions
of honor and trust at the hands of the
