MANUAL TRAINING

In making its annual preliminary
survey Of the local schools this week,
the Sentinel came across one of the
best appointed Manual Training shops
it has been privileged to inspect.
The course will begin with knife
work in the upper sixth grade and
continue in the seventh and eighth
with bench work and general carpen-
try. Manual Training is optional in
the high school. The work will be
handled by Mr.. H. 7. Kraeft. Mr..
Kraeft is graduate of the special
manual training course at O. S. u,
and last year taught science and Man
ual Training at Warren, O.
The beginning Of this course meets
with the approval Of the Sentinel and
citizens in general. It narmonizes
with the progressive spirit of the
Board of Education in establishing
other utilitarian courses, notably tie
business department and last year the
Domestic Science department, and
indicates a manifest desire to make
the local schools as up-to-date and eff
ficient as finances will permit.

WERE THEY PINCHED?

Judges Mcclure and Kennan and DR..
Freeman were expected to arrive home
last night from their fishing trip to
Calasco county, Mich, where they
have been for the past two weeks.
Supt. Edmund went with them, but
had to get back in time for the teach
lers' institute week ago. But the
return of the fishermen is not of so
much concern as the account Of them
selves while absent which will be ex-
acted from them by many waiting
friends. The fishing license which
they bought read from Sept. / to Sept.
is. Very well. But an order SUBJ
sequent to the printing of the license
closed the season Sept. 1. 1t is
known that the above gentlemen made
some fine catches after Sept /. 1t is
also known that they made trip to
Calasco, the county seat, which is 19
miles from the scene of their pisca-
torial activities. Harry Rowe, autho-
.ity in all such matters, informs us
that the usual fine in Michigan for the
first offense, is $40 and costs. Under
stand, we do not openly charge that
these gentlemen were fined, but we
will wager a small amount that they
were, and we believe we will wait a
long time before any one covers our

OLD RECORDS SAVED FROM JUNK PILE

Out of the immense number of old
court records and documents, now val
ueless, 1t is said, which were recently
disposed of to local junk dealer, a
few were secured by the writer on ac-
count of their extreme age, because
of their remarkable state of preserva-
tion and because Of some of the names
contained therein prominent in the
old days and whose posterity have
maintained the same old prominence.
The Oldest relic found was book of
the county tax duplicate Of this county
for the year 1880, signed by p. Ber-
dan, county auditor. The ruling, head
ings and every entry was made by
hand and it is rare, even nowadays,
when 50 much attention is given in the
schools to the subject Of penmanship,
that one will meet with such beauti-
full writing as is to be found in this
old relic cf 1880.
The various amounts charged in that
year are Of special interest when COM
pared with recent duplicates. For in
5vfItCo, FHyooos1oo r1OT bCAte anu Cdildl
purposes; $2,469.5O6 for county and
school purposes; same for road tax;
for township tax, $258.765; for school
house tax, $1,1O0.S71; amounting in
all to $9,196.936.
In 1880, as well as for some years
thereafter, Copley, Norton and Bath
townships, now in Summit county, be-
longed to Medina county and Of course
they are found listed for taxation in
the cd duplicate of which we write.
Naturally the names are too numerous
to reproduce, but very many Of those
who paid taxes here then have rela-
tives living in various parts Of the
county and q glance at the book doubt
less would be Of interest to them. Any
one Sd interestedis welcome to call at
the Sentinel Office and examine the
book.
Another relic, is the legal papers in
q civil suit wherein Justin Whaley was
plaintiff and David Sanger defendant.
Garfield, Camp N Mcclure we're at
torneys for defendant. The last manned
The Medina sentinel. [volume] (Medina, Ohio) 1888-1961, 1915-09-10

member of the firm was Samuel Nc
Clure, an uncle of the present Judge
N. H. Mcclure. The suit was one for
SANDER and it appears that many de-
positions were taken from witnesses
in Indiana, Michigan and other states.
These papers bear date Of 1888. In
those days there were no regularly
printed legal blanks forms for the
convenience of officials, as there are
now, but each one was carefully made
out with due regard to form with pen
and ink. They were for the most part
of uniform size, carefully folded, and
give proof today Of the pains then ta-
ken to preserve records. The only
exception to the hand work noted
above, is in the case of subpoenas,
which were printed from types, and
the extremely heavy impression test
flying to the old-time Washington hand
press that worked with q lever. There
are a few small country newspapers
scattered about that still issue their
editions from the time-honored and at
one time generally used Washington
hand press.
Aside from any interest that at
taches to a document of this kind
with regard to those who did the writ
ing of them and the names of many
who lived at that far off time, an add
ed interest is to be found in the associ-
alton of other and more momentous
events in history contemporary with
that period. Thus in meditating upon
the old tax duplicate Of 1880, let us re-
call that at that time Andrew Jack
son was president Of the United States
That is was in 1880 the sewing ma
chine was invented and raised letters
devised for the blind. Charles X Of
France was deposed the same year and
the crown offered to Lafayette. who
refused it. It was also in 1880 that
the notification doctrine in America
led to the great debate between Hayne
and Webster, in which the latter is
said to have made his greatest oratori-
cal effort and declared, Liberty and
union now and forever, one and insep-
arable.N

coMMRs. MEET TWO DAYS

The county commissioners were in
session two days this week. The first
day was devoted largely to the allow
ing of a large grist of bills. The sec
ond days was taken up in discussion
with one of Ashland's commissioners
in the matter of setting a day for a
joint meeting Of the commissioners of
both counties to settle the cost to
each county of a ditch in Homer, which
also touches Ashland county. The
commissioners also counted the money
in the county treasury, and all checks
and the amount on deposit in the var
ious local banks, the sum total being
$175, ,854.83. These figures exactly
Tailed with corresponding vouchers in
the Office of the auditor. This action
was taken that the new treasurer,
Charles Frank, might know the exact
condition Of affairs before taking over
the office from his predecessor.

Given Chairs as
They Leave Office

Given chairs as they leave Office Ia po
1t has been a custom with court
house officials for good many years
to present each one upon the expira-
tion of his term of Office with an arti-
Gle Of furniture, usually chair, in
token of the esteem and friendship in
which the recipient is held by his fell
low Office holders.
AT the beginning of the present

and AL. Young were made recipients
Of similar gifts, likewise Claude

few weeks ago. This week marks the
exit from Office Of two more county
officials, namely, Eugene Clark as
county recorder and r. ]. Hyde as

ents Of two beautiful rockers Tuesday
morning in the Office of the county
commissioners. County Auditor Gar
yer presented Mr.. Hyde with the lat
ter's chair and Prosecuting Attorney
Underwood the other chair to Mr..

which had at all times radiated thru
out the official court house circle. Mr..
Hyde and Mr.. Clark responded feel
ingly and the occasion was ended by

Local Lightweight
Loses in Sd Round

In a six-round fight Monday at Ce-
dar Point between Roy Moore of Me-
dina and Oscar Gardner of Cleveland,
the former was vanquished in the third
round, the referee ending hostilities.
it is reported, to save Moore useless
punishment.
While Moore took lacing all the
way, he was not really hurt until the
middle Of the third, when right hook
to the chin staggered him. Gardner
followed in close to take advantage Of
his opportunity and he soon had Moore
out on his feet.
The stopping of the bout did not
meet with the approval of many Of the
fans, but Moore was badly hurt, and
while he might have recovered and
stuck out the limit, he had absolutely
no chance to win out.
