school thus giving an opportunity for
continued instructions OF the pupils
under the same policy. The upils,
the teachers and the patrons he stated
were the three main elements of a
school; that HiIlsboro was fortunate
In having pupils of excellent possibili-
ties, good teachers and patrons who
were interested in the work being
done. Among Improvements he would
like to see made in the schools are an
up-to date gymnasium for the boys,
with good reading room and rooms
fully equipped for instructions in
domestic science for the girls He is
also believer in men teachers for
boys when they arrive at the high
school age
Major r. A. Haynes was the last
speaker on the program, his subjecU
was, "The Press as Factor for De-
velopment." Major Haynes was brief
in his remarks as he said that the
chairman of the committee on ar
rangementsh had impres sed on him that
he must not take over 10 minutes
time that he supposed this was be-
cause it was thought that a newspa-
der man when he got started never
knew when to stop. Mr.. Haynes said
that 1t was the province of newspa-
per to publish the happenings OF a
community In a readable and enter
tanning style ; to give the goings and
comings OF its people the social
events, lodge events, church events,
political events, in fact, every thing
which affected the community. A
paper he said should always be a
booster, should publish the things
that would benefit the community
and pass up the things that would
tend to injure 1t. The Hillsboro pa
pers, he claimed. we're always ready
and willing to aid in any movement
that was for the upbuilding of Hills
boro and Highland county, but that
the newspapers could not do 1t all
they could advocate, urge and adver.
tlse, but they must have the support
and Co cooperation Of the citizens of the
IL results were to be ac.
This was the last address on the
but President Garrett stated
that Representative Q. O. Muhlbach
had matter on which he wished to
say few words. Mr. Muhlbach ad
vocated the organization of Boys
and Girls Congress In Highland
county. He wants day set aside
when all the schools of Highland
county will be dismissed and as many
Of the pupils as possible gather at the
opera house here. The meeting
would be addressed by Hon. A. p.
secretary OF the state board
Of agriculture and other prominent
speakers. The Boys and Girls Con-
gress is an outgrowth of the move
ment TO keep the boys and girls in
Ohio, to stop the movement west and
to the cities. The addresses at the
meeting, If held, would be boosting
county, advice to the boys
and girls to stay here. The first
meeting would be preliminary to u
organization In every
school dlst'i't with regular meetings,
prizes beiJg offered by home mer.
chants for the best paper showing
reasons for staying In Highland
county and buying of home mer-
chants. This movement is well
worthy Of serious consideration by the
people of Hilsboro and Highland
county as 1t contains great possibili-
ties for improving conditions through
out the county.
President Garrett announced fol-
lowing Mr.. Mulba chs talk that the
bylaws of the association provided
that an honorary membership In the
organic alton could be conferred upon
a citizen OF the town by the directors
when his services merited 1t; that the
directors had by unanimous action
conferred such an honor on a citizen
of the town, who was always foremost
In everything that was for the good
of the town, a citizen whose every
act, high moral character, great pub
lie spirit merited being the first to
be made an honary member of the
Hillsboro Business Mems Association
and in behalf Of the association he
announced that DR.. VIM. Hoyt had
been made an honorary member OF
the organization. A more worthy and
fitting action could not have been
taken, as an expression of the appre-
citation OF the unsefish service and
devotion Of DR.. Hoyt to things that
are for the best interests of Hills
