THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Opened Monday Morning-Fu Faculty of Teachers in
High Schools aud Grades Good First
Days Enrolment

are investing considerable money in
this educational work and certainly
we have right to expect our moneys
worth.
The County Normal under the super
vision of Miss Helen Brigham opened
Monday with an enrolment of eight
pupils exactly the same number as
last year at the opening of the school;
there are number of prospective
students who will bring the number
up to about II or IA. Miss Brigham
spent her summer vacation taking
advanced work and increasing her
efficiency at Columbia University.
Superintendent Altstetter had the
satisfaction of opening the schools of
Wauseon with a full corps of teach
ers and very full first day attend
ance of pupils. Mr.. Altstetter be-
gins this years work with the Wau-
seon Schools well equipped to give the
most valuable years service he has
ever. given; the experience of the pre-
ceding years has made him familiar
with the field and Summer spent in
post graduate work at Chicago Uni
versity increases his enthusiasm and
in his profession.
First day enrolment in the High
School was 172 with many more in
prospect which will bring the enroll
ment up to that of last year and pos
sibly exceed it.
Mr.. C. NJ Sims a graduate of the
Ohio State University is the New
High School principal. Miss Wolcott
who has been taking Summer work at
Columbia University; Miss Costello
ton in Arizona and Miss brennan are
the teachers who are classed as "old''
which doesn't necessarily refer to
their age; to this class should also be
added the name of Mr.. Smell who has
entered upon course in matrimony
has already attained the degree of
Benedict" and what is more to the
point has brought with him this year
a charming co-worker in the person
of Mrs. Smell and will continue to
supervise the manual training work
of both the Wauseon and Bryan
schools.
New teachers in the High School
this year, besides Mr.. Sims the prin-
cipal are Miss Pfrman teacher of
Latin, a graduate of Defiance Col

Monday of this week was one of the
most important days of the year in
the civic life of the county. There
may be some citizens or rather resi-
dents of the county who are not pre-
pared to give their assent to this
statement, but when the fact that
when the Public Schools of the county
open, the biggest and most important
work that the county does or can do
has begun, is given due consideration
the prepondeIance of evidence will be
found to support the absolute accur-
acy of this assertion. Of greater vital
Importance to the county, state and
nation, than all the roads and bridges
that the County Commissioners can
construct, greater than the combined
product of all the factories and farms
in the county and more important
than all the volume of business of
banks and stores, is the educational
work carried on by the public schools
of the county. This work has to do
with the making of citizens the train
ing of the men and women who shall
determine the character of the civic
conditions the social and moral STAN
dards, the progress in commerce
industry and agriculture and civic
Improvement.
Monday the schools of all the vii
lagos and the rural schools generally
with very few exceptions opened
their doors to begin what we have
every reason to expect will be the
best year in the history of the schools
Of the county. Among the reasons
why the school year of 19161917
ought to be the best year thus far in
the educational history of the county
is the fact that the system of super
intendence has become well establish
ed in the county and results in the
way of definite aims, uniform courses
of study, better equipment, higher
standards of teaching and intelligent
guidance of the teachers have been
obtained. Superintendent Perry and
his assistants have been persistent,
consistent and efficient workers and
the results of their efforts ought to
be apparent in the increased efficiency
Of the schools. Again, Normal train
ing for the teachers has been placed
within the reach of every teacher of
the county. Many of the teachers al
ready engaged in work have taken
advantage of the Summer courses Of
fered by the various Normal Schools
and for the younger teachers or be-
ginners, the County Normal Schools
have given opportunity for training
big improvement in the teaching
force.

PRIZE WINNERS
WauseOn Beauty Contest Winners An
nOunced at Civic Club Benefit at The
Princess Theatre, Thursday Even
ing - Audience Delighted With
Special Numbers.

Thursday evening at the Civic Club
Benefit Show at the Princess Theatre,
the close of the Beauty Contest" con-
Quoted by the Civic Improvement
Committee of the Club during the
past Summer was signalized by the
announcement of the prize winners
in the contest and the award of the
premiums.
The announcements and awards
were made by the committee of Judges
from the Boosters Club and they
showed that the chairman H. H, Will
liams Jr. and his associates have done
careful work and made excellent de-
cisions. The premiums were very ap-
propriate for such a contest consisting
of bulbs and shrubs which when plant
ed by those receiving them will add
still more to the beauty of their home
surroundings and of course to the
beauty of the town. The prize win
ners are as follows:
For recent general improvement in
home surroundings.
First, Harley S. Hill.
Second, G. c. Lyon.
Third, VILLAIN Stink.
For neat appearance of back yard:
First, Crawford Blair.
Second, Mrs. Ben Omlor.
Third, Geo. Mccoy.
For general appearance of exterior
of buildings: -
First, W. T. Campbell. A
Second, H. Kennedy.
Third, M. E. Read.
Grounds and surroundings of home:
First, Mrs. E. H. Harrison
Second, w. c. Fink.
Third, Fred Wolf.
For flowers and shrubs:
First, Frank S. Ham.
Second, John HIATT.
Third, w. A. Showalter.
For vegetable garden:
First, Chas. Humphreys.
Second, Mrs. Bertha Carpenter.
i Third, w. A. Marks.
The Judges were unable, under the
class entitled "For appearance of
street and alleys adjoining home," to
find any worthy of premiums. The
best looking alley in town was found
where homes adjoining were not en-
tered in the contest.
The contest has proven success
in every way and has added to the
beauty Of the town. 1t would be hard
to find anywhere in Northwestern
! Ohio a town the size of Wauseon with
better kept or more attractive streets
homes and lawns than is our own home
city, it is to be hoped that similar
contest may be conducted next year
and the next and so on indefinitely
The ladies of the Civic Club are to be
commended for inaugerating this
movement it has awakened civic pride
, and deepened interest in and affec-
tion for home and home surroundings.
Those who entered the contest and put
forth any effort at all have benefited
and the town as whole has gained in
attractiveness. If america First and
Efficient" is a good slogan, and we
: think it is, then for residents of this
city, "Wauseon First and Cleanly At
: tractive" is a good working motto
that followed will enable us to help
: make America First and Efficient"

 A proposed charter amendment making the forestry commission separate body and giving 1t the right to care for trees and shrubbery on all streets and city property not under control of the water department or park commission was tabled It was thought more advisable to have the board of public works given an ap- propriation to be used as deemed best by the present forestry commits sion. The plan will be given a years trial.
 Not In Marrying Business.
 Judge F. B. Hungerford's proposed charter amendment which would give to City Clerk A. l.. Thompson, lex officio, all ministerial powers of a justice of the peace," was occasion for no little fun making. MT.

who went by the boards long ago.
 To give another jolt to the resolu- ton the mayor asked what effect it would have if the mayor was a non- partisan mayor but had been en- dorsed by both democrats and repub- licans. This argument sounded fool ish to the councilman who remarked that there is no question about this happening in the future.
 The report of the committee to in- crease the appropriation for the po lice and fire pension fund was re- ferred back for further consideration.
 Will Advance Fiscal Year.
 According to the opinion of Asses sor August Burkhardt there is no ob- stacle in the way of the proposition to advance the fiscal year one month that the boards may get their ap propriations earlier and start their out door work sooner. His suggestion was that inasmuch as the board of assessors completed it's work on Jan- uary 31 the board of finance meet at once and prepare estimates from the grand list. Past history has proved that the board of relief make few changes so the figures as given Jan uary 31 will be approximately cor rect This would make it possible for the city meeting to be called in March. The members all thought this plan most feasible one and the matter was referred back to the spe- cial committee to make further reo-

.SKIDS ALL IN PLACE AND
 SAFETY BOARD IS SLIDING
Charter Revision Committee Favors Separate Heads for Police and Fire Departmens-Councilman May De-
 lending Own Resolution Takes Shot at Board

One of the most important charter changes that will undoubtedly be asked by the charter revision commit tee will be the organization of the : board of public safety under two sep arate heads, one to have charge of the fire department and the other to have charge of the police department. At the meeting last evening Councilman George M. Landers made the sugges- tion and almost all of the commits sioners expressed themselves on it fla Vora ply, except Judge Gaffney. Most of the revisionists thought that such a change would serve as panacea for some of the existing troubles. Judge Gaffney, however, remarked that such a move would be bringing the city back to where it was several years ago and he predicted that such action would not cause tho city to escape the evils that the members think it will No vote was taken, but the consensus of opinion was plain ly in favor of the move,
 Safety Commissioners Divided.
 Chairman r.. C. Babcock, who has been chairman of the safety board for the past nine months, was present at the meeting and his views were solicit ed. He gave them freely declaring that from his experience he did not think the move would be a wise one. He said he thinks 1t possible for one board tn handle both dcpartm ents in the l,>'..t. interests Of economy and clf1- ciercs'
 commissioner Howard M. Steele, who ig also a member of the charter re vision committee, took a different view He gave Mir. Babcock all the credit in the world for his hard work during the past nine months and used it as an argument in favor of splitting 'the board, explaining that the fact showed the work is too much for ono man. Alderman M. Irving Jester was Of the same opinion. Senator Klett likewise favored the move, but sVg- sested having one man In charge of each denortmcnt instead of a commits sion.
 The opinion of eX-Mayor Tanders was listened to with interest. He eX- plained that it was in 1906, during one of his administrations that the safe ty board was organized. For a while 1t worked well, he said. but he ad- mitted that 1t has proved a failure as to properly manage the police and fire departm ents it requires the work of two separate boards.

SUMS TO FARMERS

Payette, Nov. "a. The Farmers Co
Operative Creamery company of Pay
cite. of which J. r, Brown is manager
during the year 1915 will have paid
out to the farmers $4,000 for cream.
This ii a big increase over the bust
ness o this plant last year.
over $4,000 pounds of butter was
made in this creamery in September OF
this year, and over 1900 pounds was
made last month. During tho high
tide last summer when COWS usually
give the most milk. this creamery
made about $4,000 pounds of butter
per month.
Manager Brown said this creamery
has sold no butter on consignment
during the past eight months. an
other words. all the butter made here
is bein sold on straight orders, which
is much preferable TO consigning it,
BECAUSE the creamery knows precisely
what il will get for its product
