KEEP THE CHILDREN IN SCHOOL

Now that school is about open again wish to call at
tenon of the patrons of schools to few important facts
First the school yours. 1t is supported by and your
children should receive the benefit of it. Second members OF
society," not ouy your privilege but your duty to educate
your daughters and those who the sup
port schools have right demand of you that your children

members of society and good and worthy citizens This they
cannot be if kept out of school.
is not right that children be left out of school, when they
could be sent neither right permit them to stay at home
when they needed merely because they do not wish to
school, Experience and observation have taught us how i'm
possb it for pupils to receive full benefits by to school
three times in week and remain the balance OF the
time This is bad enough when necessity compe parents to
keep their children from school, but when they permitted to
remain for the purpose of attending place amuse
men merely because they fgn sickness until after school

In view of the facts in behalf of the teachers of Schools
enreat the patrons of schools to see to it that their chill

VETERAN R. R. MAN HERE

\, .t-s. d.
II Neterana.of the A. & G. w. r. r.
held reunion in Kent last week, and
the Kent Courier in reporting it, had
the following to say about an old rail-
roader, Mat v. Green, well known in
Medina, where he and Mrs. Green are
spending some time:
Over in Medina, near to the scenes
Of his boyhood, Mat v. Green is liv-
ing over again his active days in rail-,
road service. At times he Is delirious
and in these moments he is calling on
old workers Of other days. He orders
engines, issues instructions to the men
and goes through the activitie' Of for
mer years. Among the names he calls
are heard those Of Carskadden; Logan,
Fessenden, Iredell, Nichols, Murphy,
Cavanaugh, Walker, Gurley, Dando,
Murray, Pinckney, Lovett, Dockseck-
er, Shade Haley and a host of others.
Fifty years in the service Of the COM
pany as an engineer and engine dis
patcher endeared Nat. Green to the
boys in the service. "He was the
best friend the engineers ever had in
the round house," said an engineer
Wednesday, "and it was not at the
expense Of the company, either. He
always saw to it that the helpers did
their duty and had the engines in
shape when they went out. He was
square, honorable and truthful to
every man." Mr.. Green is past 20
and has. retired. His experience in
the Dayton food 4 year agc last
spring was most terrifying and his
nerves broke down under the strain.
Two sons, Frank, Of Cleveland, and
Charlie, Of Philadelphia, were with
him this week.

ANOTHER ASSAULT CASE

Sheriff Young was summoned TO
Chippewa Lake again Monday night
in an assault and battery case. The
complainant was Levi Rerhammer,
who charged Harry E. Deck, substi-
tuting in the B. & Q, Office for a week
or two, with having struck him on the
head with an iron weight. The alter
cation, IT is said, grew out the refusal
by Deck Of permitting Derhammer to
remove shipment that was at the
station, when It Is alleged the latter
then attempted to take 1t by force.
Deck was brought to Medina and in
Justice yanDeusen,s court was re-
leased On 4 bond of 500 to appear
again Friday.

WANTS BOY FOR JUDGE

Do you know a good horse? Or 9

VanDeusen, secretary Of the Medina
County Fair is asking every boy in
the county. He is looking for the

under 20 years Of age. The Boys
Livestock Judging Contest is being
held by the fair board to stimulate
the interest Of the boys in farm an
imals. They are planning to give lib
eral prizes to the boys who make the
best showing. The contest will be
conducted under the direction Of a
representative Of the College Of Ag-
riculture. The indications point to a
keen interest among the young stock
men in this county this falls One
thing that will make the contest Of
great value is the fact that all the
boys will learn something, whether
they win a prize or not.

No topic of the week attracted

which closed the Wedne day after

The Montessori Method, DR. Graves
said it was the custom Of certain crea-

species feared to tired and SO he would

system. Madame Montessori, hand
some woman of striking personality,
the best educated woman in Italy, had
had remarkable success as a teacher
Of defective children. In the house Of
childhood established among the poor
Of Rome she had had normal children
to deal with and remarkable results
had been accomplished in the teach

age learned to write easily and with
out conscious efforts in a few weeks.
Her book isn't national contribution

the system is borrowed from Froebel

The new school code makes provis-
ion for all needed improvements in
the rural schools Of the state and one
of the provisions is the establishment
of county normals. State superinten-
dent Miller says:
The law authorizes the state super
intendent Of public instruction to es-
tablish from one to three normal
training classes in each county in con-
nection with village and rural high
schools Of first grade. This is not a
mandatory provision, as the initial
steps must be taken by the boards of
education in such districts.
"The state guarantees the cost of
maintaining each Of these county
normal schools not to exceed $1,000
per year. This is not an altogether
new plan for the training of rural
schools, for 13 other states have al
ready adopted this system of main
tanning what might be called junior
normal schools in which teachers de-
string to teach in the village and
rural schools may obtain one year Of
professional training without the ex-
pense of tuition or the expense Incl
dent to going very far from home.
while the law would permit this
department to establish three such
schools in each county, it is not the in
tention to do so, at least until the
need Of that number Of such institu-
tions is proven beyond question. 1t
(, is my purpose 10 distribute these
schools with reference to- the commun-
ities to be served, the facilities offer
ed by the community itself, the trans
portation facilities, and the distances
from other schools where teachers
may obtain professional training. l
think that if the state Of Ohio can
maintain so such schools, distributed
equitably over the state, she would be
doing a generous thing for the rural
schools Of the state.
"There are on file in this depart
ment 100 formal applications from as
many different first-grade high
schools in villages and rural commun-
tiles. However, when the formal ap-
p!ication bank required by law was
sent to these boards Of education it
appears that quite a number Of COM
munities decided that they did not
care to meet the conditions imposed
by the department. These conditions
in brief are as fellows: That the
school be a frst-grade high school
for at least year before making ap-
plication; that at least ten students
be guaranteed as an average Dolly at
tendance; that the school furnish
well-equipped school room of ordinary
size to be devoted exclusively to the
use Of the county normal school; that
the board Of education furnish ample
equipment in the way Of library,
maps, charts, globes, and other teach
ing appliances; that the board Of edu-
cation. as required by law, enter into
an agreement with one o6ifi6fe, Aat

Preparing the Grill.
In the dumb disappointment that
fell over the group in Mark Robert
sons library, the mems eyes gradually
turned as by common consent upon
Jim Blake. Unruffled, he stood there,
master OF them all and even master Of
himself.
Gentlemen" he drawled at last,
we've got our work cut out for US.
We've missed the morning papers.
Now. 1t remains to get our story on
the floor Of the house tonight. To
force adjournment. That will give US
time"
But" objected Van Dyke, pointing
to the duplicate telephone list, I'VE

tomorrow. And we've got to get the
name before we dare spread the story
in the house. 1t was different with
the newspapers. But"

There was knock at the door.
Gregg answered 1t. Neligan entered,
all but showing Wanda Kelly in ahead
Of him.

Leaving her standing there, he
turned and ostentatiously closed the
door behind him.
The girl looked about at the faces
that confronted her on every side.
