Death
Claims A Former Resident
OF DaHvilIG
(Wooster News)

Harry Robinson, cornet soloist of
the Wooster band, received a tele-
gram at noon Monday announcing the
death of his iather, Joseph Robinson
at Evansville, Ind. The news of his
fathers death was a great shock to the
young man VINO did not know he was
i'll.
Harry Robinson and wife have been
camping at Chippewa Lake and the
message was delivered to him there.
1t was from Mr.. Donnell and merely
stated that the father had died Sun
day No particulars whatever were
given. Harry Robinson expects to
leave Monday night for Evansville to
take charge of the body. Internent
will probably be made at Memphis,
Tenn, where the family has lived for
several years and where Mrs. Robin
son is now residing.
Joseph Robinson is a well-known
in Wooster as musician. He was
born at Danyille and was 46 years of
age. A year ago he came to Wooster
and started the new Wooster band
but later left for the south. He re-
manned here, however, until the sue
cess of the band was assured and it
is largely due to his first efforts that
the city has its present fine musical
organization. Harry Robinson had not
heard from his father for few weeks,
and did not know that he had been

SPLENDID work
At Boys Industrial School REFLECTS
Credit On 0. c. LafdSOn
Lancaster Gazette).


Great advancement has been made
in the educational department of the
Boys Industrial school during the
past year and the fact has become
known statewide, in whatever towns
or cities boys live who have been
recently paroled from the institution.
With the education the lads are now
receiving they are able to care for
themselves after going out into the
world and shifting each for himself.
The scholastic training they re-
ceive is far superior to that OF any
similar institution and the good work
reflects great credit upon Prof. o. c..
Larason, the superintendent of the b.
j. S. educational department. The on
ly two educational papers published in
Ohio in recognition of Mr.. Larason's
ability and talent in teaching these
wayward boys have the following to
say:
prof. o. c. Larason has been bring
ing important things to pass in the

"Supt. o. G. Larason, of the Boys
Industrial school at Lancaster, has
been reelected and $500 added ito his
salary. This is conclusive proof that
he is an unqualified success. A re-
cent issue of the paper published at
the school is sort of panorama Of the
many good things they are doing to
lead the boys into paths of industry,

manhood" - Editorial department.,

the heavy strain Of this work, the long
hours and the fact that he has had
no vacation have combined to impair
his health to such an extent that he
has now been forced to resign and
look for rest"
The directors and friends OF the To-
cal association believe that Mr.. Kin.
ney is the right man to carry forward
the work to greater success that
has yet been achieved. To this end
they bespeak cordial welcome to
him from the people Of Mt. Vernon
and Knox county, and loyal support
Of his efforts in behalf of the boys
and men of this community.

to Mt. Vernon with a splendid record
for efficiency and executive ability,
which has been seasoned by five
years of practical association expert
ence. He is a man OF liberal educa
ton, having worked his way through
Oberlin college, where ne received
with honors the degree OF bachelor OF
arts. Being an enthusiastic athlete
he found time in the midst OF mis- 9TH
er duties to take an active part in
athletics, playing on the baseball and
football teams. The people Of Middle
port and others with whom Mr.. Kin.
ney has worked have without excep-
ton spoken in praise OF his personal
qualities and the character of his
work. An article in the leading Mid
dleport paper at the time OF his res
ignation reads in part as follows:
"Mr. Kinney's home is at Austin
burg, Ashtabula county. After taking
the degree of bachelor of arts from
Oberlin college, he connected himself
with Y. NJ c. A. work, and spent two
years in the work before coming to
Middleport-oney year at Erie, Pa, and
another at Cleveland He came to
Middleport in July, 1908, and month
later was married to Miss Anne Foote
of Illinois, who was a student at the
Oberliu conservatory of music and
Oberlin college. Mr.. and Mrs. Kinney
have made many warm friends in
Middleport and vicinity, and the an
nouncement of their intended depart
ure is q matter of general and sincere
regret.
when Mr.. Kinney assumed charge
OF the Middleport associations affairs
on July 6, 1908, the board of directors
had several weeks before decided to
close up the association, and it was
being held open only on the interces-
sion of the state secretary, who asked
three months time in which to prove
that the proposition could be made to
pay its way. At that time there were
but 154 members, and these were
dropping out as fast as their tickets
expired, and the association had little
or no credit in town, due TO a net in
debtedness of nearly $3.50
"The state secretary thought ne rec
ognized in Mr.. Kinney the man who
could bring the Middleport associa-
ton out of the kinks, and at his re.
quest gave up the offer OF a higher
salary elsewhere to tackle this uphill
proposition
"Three years have passed, and in
stead of membership of 150, the as
sociation now has membership of
442; and instead of an indebtedness
of $3.50, there are now cash and as
sets to the amount of S202S.85. Those
who know the conditions under which
Mr.. Kinney has had to labor and the
odds which have been against him
will see from these figures that his
achievements have been little short OF
phenomenal. During mis- term of serV-
ice he was four times offered more
money to go elsewhere, but he had
come to Middleport with the commits
sion to make the association a 20,
and he stuck to his task until he saw
his labors crowned with success. Bu,
