Roll of Honor.
WAUSEON WOMANs CLUB.

The fine weather and interesting
program induced many members and
some visitors to attend the regular
meeting of the Woman's Club Tues
day. This is their second years work
on psychological subjects, their aim
being to discuss the vital questions of
the day, particularly those concern
ing the home and county. A paper,
The Church as a Factor in Civiliza-
ton was read by Mrs. C. J. Biery. We
are largely indebted to the church for
the art music and literature we poss-
ess. The English drama, also owes
its origin to the early customs of the
church. During the dark ages the
monastery was the shelter of the
schools and preserved priceless manu-
scripts of ancient Greece until civili-
cation was ready for them. Later,
missionary work has been a large fac
tor in the progress of civilization.
Social service is the present work of
the churches in a practical applica-
ton of the principles of Christianity.
Mrs. Geo. Hayes followed with a
paper, Wherein the Church Fails. She
said it must first be noted that the
church was not a man made institu-
ton but was a divine institution with
definite instructions and would not
fail in it's mission to awaken to on
ciousness the spiritual life of man.
She pointed out some of the weak
nesses of the church wherein they did
not follow the Masters example.
In a paper, Is a Compulsory church
attendance Advisable, Mrs. W. H.
Maddox urged early spiritual training
of the youth. both by precept and
example. With tact and the proper
example of the parents the, child may
be led from the Sunday school into
the church. We need soul training
and reverence for God in the schools
France has become almost a land of
atheists by having all reference to
God stricken out of their text books.
This war is not in vain if it again
learns them to pray. The discussion
of the above subjects was led by Mrs.
Mary Touvelle who said the most i'm
portart thing in this life is the soul
growth and it's relation to God.
She opened the discussion by ask
ing if the churches paid too much at
tention to creeds. It seemed to be the
general opinion that creed was hard
ly considered anv more but all believ-
ed in the Fatherhood of God, Brother
hood of Man and service.
If all the churches could settle upon
the fundamental facts then the one
great admonition. ga new command
ment I give unto you that We love one
another as I have loved you," would
be creed enough.
The last generation witnessed a
great constructive and material era
but we believe with Winston Chur-
chill that the world is entering upon
a great spiritual era now.
The club women of the town are
planning a conjoint meeting of the
Women's Club of the county to be
held in Wauseon probably the first
week in November. The state presi-
dent. Miss Anna Johnson is expected

SAYS ENGLAND IS PERHAPS
MOST VIGOROUS OF ALLIES

"The thing that impressed me most
in what l saw of the wal in Europe
was the difference in character of
the armines involved in the most des-
perate duel ever fought" said Pro-
fessor Edward Orion of the Ohio
State University, who only recently
returned from a European trip.
Prof. Orion related his experiences
to the members of the Cosmopolitan
Club at the University last Tuesday
night.
"The E%nglishman is fighting be-
cause he believes the cause is just
these men of the other nations be-
cause they have to under the con-
scription laws. The patriotism of the
latter is Just as great, no doubt, but
after all there is a difference in vigor
and dash.
eff the war goes against England,
she must adopt the CONSUMPTION
method for her own protection. If
England is successful, it will mean
that no nation in the future will be
allowed to maintain such enormous
forces as the other nations have
maintained" he said.
Professor Orion said that he was
in Germany when war was declared
and that he was suspected of being
an Englishman and held on the Swiss
border for eight days until he could
get a military pass into Switzerland.

DEPARTMENT SECURES JOBS
FOR NEARLY zoo TEACHERS

Nearly 200 graduates of the Ohio
State University have secured en-
ployment as teachers since last
spring through the aid of the Uni
yersity Appointment Committee,
headed by L. E. Wolfe, chairman of
the Entrance Board. These teachers
have been placed in all p1rts of the
country and at positions paying good
salaries.
Most of the teachers placed have
been graduates of the College of
Arts, Philosophy and Science. Other
positions have been secured, how
ever, for instructors in agricultural
and engineering schools.
These 200 positions are all teach
ing positions. Many other positions
are secured each year for graduates
of the various colleges with CONNER
cial firms, cities, railroads, etc. Over
t~wo-thirds of the graduates in cleo
trical engineering had secured posi-
tons before graduation last spring.
"Ohio State has a good record in
securing positions for her gradu-
ates," said Mr.. Wolfe in comment
ing upon the large number of posi-
lions secured for teachers. owe are
planning to give this department of
our work ever more attention, as it
seems to US a very important thing

Mr.. Wolfe is preparing a report
of the conditions of the employment

dent Thompson in an effort to ex-
pand the work.
