GROWTH
In Ohio High Schools Has
Been Remarkable

The growth of the high school in
Ohio has been remarkable, according
to an official bulletin, just isued by
the Ohio State Department of Educa-
ton. In 1860 there were but 40 high
schools in the United States, few
of these being in Ohio. In 1865 there
were 175 high schools in Ohio and
now there are almost 1000. The prl-
pills in these high schools number rs,
900, and it takes more than $500
teachers to instruct them. The bulle-
tin shows that the vocational move
ment is taking strong hold in Ohio.
Sixty-four high schools have manual
training, gain of 40 per cent over
the preceding year, and As have do
mestic science, gain of S5 per cent
over the year before There are
10000 boys enrolled in the manual
training schools, and 10000 girls en-
rolled in the domestic science schools.
The agitation for reform and read
justment of the schools to the indus
trial life of the community is no long
er looked upon as fad The organ
lied educational forces, state and
national, are moving in the direction
of industrial and commercial educa-
ton.

SUCCESS
Of Y. M. c. A. Maintenance
Fund Assured
Entire Sum Of $4,000 Was
Nearly Secured
(6y The committee)

When reports were made on Wed.
nesday evening, at which time it had
been decided to close the campaign
to raise $4,000 for maintenance fund
for the Y. M. c. A, there was total
of $5,646 provided for. The remaining
1854 necessary to complete the fund
was guaranteed by nine men who
agreed to pay that amount unless
other subscriptions can be secured to
cover It.
The Citizens committee take this
opportunity to thank the people of the
community for their response to this
appeal, making possible the result
above outlined. A general spirit OF
interest in the welfare of the institu'
ton has been manifested, which is an
encouragement to the board of direc
tors.

DOUBLE TRACK
Important Improvement On
c. A. 8 c. Railroad

The Orrville Courier asys "As soon
as double track frog arrives in Orr.
Vile the c., A. & G. will have dou-
BILE track acress the Pennsylvania
near the station. The frog is looked
for any day. Up to the present time
the c., A. & c. has had to do all its
work across the Ft. Wayne line over a
single track. The placing of the dou-
BILE track frog in position will be a
big help to the c., A. & c., which will
then be in a position to further ex-
tend it's double track system north
and south from Orrville.
Already the G. A. & @. is double
tracked from Orrville to East Union
and plans are under way to extend the
second track further south. Some big
hills must be cut down before the Sec
ond track can be extended to Mt. Yer
non.
North from Orrville ties are being
distributed and within the past few
weeks several car loads have been
scattered along the line from Orrvllle
to Marshalville. At present the line
is double tracked from East Union to
Cleveland with the exception of 21
miles.
1.-THE using of double track frog
will necessitate slight changes in the
signal system in the yards but all
the signals will be operated from the
tower near the station as done now."

RECORDER
In RiChIand County Is 10 A
Bad Hole
And Seems To Be LoserIOf
A Big Sum
mansfield News)

The people at the county recor-
der's office seem to be UP against
trouble. The state examiner who has
been here for a number of weeks now
making an exhaustive examination of
the county offices, has struck the re-
oorder's Office and he has informed
the people there that the recorder is
charged up with and held responsible
for the cost of recording every deed
and mortgage that lis presented there
for record.
For a number of years when the
Office was under the old fee system
and the county recorder got all the
money taken in for recording deeds,
mortgages and leases 1t was custo-
mary for people to bring in one, two
or a dozen or fifteen documents and
leave them for record without paying
for them. Some people paid for them
eventually and some did not. In this
way some professional dead beats"
would get into the county recorder for
as high as $40 or $50 and more by the
time the recorder was read to go out
of office and in many instances he nev-
er got his money at all. 1t wasn't 30
bad when the Office was under the fee
system for the recorder to take this
chance but now all the money that is
taken in to the Office or rather the
price of every deed, lease or mort
gage recorded must be paid into the
county treasury by the recorder and
the records must so show.
Every recorder, as has been sug
gested, has been "stung' in the last
20 years and the stinging business
Is still on, it seems. One man, it is
stated, has hung up every recorder
for years although each retiring Off
cial kindly told the man who sue
ceeded him to look out for this man
as we'll as others. Recorders hate to
insist on a man putting down 81 cash
for recording the deed or mortgage
he brings in and yet it seems that is
what must be done if the recorder
Is to be protected. The state exam
iner, who is at the court house at
the present time, insists that all deeds
that have been taken in and recorded
must be accounted for, in other words
the price of recording the same must
be accounted for and there is no 9TH
er way to do this than to charge him
with the money which should have
been paid for the Job and then 1t is
up to him to get the money and make
himself whole financially. 1t is an
easy matter to insist on having the
money paid right down for recording
document when 1t is brought in but
when it is sent in 1t will have to be
allowed to lie until the person ap-
pears and settles for it.
