IN THE MIDST OF BABY WEEK"
Educational Programs for the Betterment of Babies
Births in Clinton Township in 1915 Num-
bered Ninety-fo Twelve Deaths of
Infants Under One Year Old.

We are right in the midst of Baby
Week and it is entitled to our care
full attention. 1t is week of edu-
cation for the betterment of babies
Too many are lost annually through
ignorance and neglect. There may
have been some needlessly sacrificed
right in Clinton township, where in
the year 1915 there were ninety-four
births and twelve deaths of infants
under one year of age. 1t is civic
duty to promote the safety of the
babies.
This week people of Wauseon and
vicinity may have an opportunity en-
tirely free of charge of learning
more facts about the proper care of
infants and facts that will bring
home to the community the vital i'm
portance of the babies and increase an
interest in the permanent work of
child welfare.
Parents and all representative citi-
zens of this community; men and
women who are interested in the
welfare and health of school children
are urged to hear the address of DR..
Brockway this Friday afternoon at
three o'clock at the high school as
sembly auditorium. He is the Direc-
tor of Health for the Board of Edu-
cation, Toledo, and will talk on
Health Supervision of Public School
Children.

RURAL SCHOOL GROUND
Planting the Rural School Ground"
a Paper from Dowell School-Help-
full Suggestions for Beautifying
Ground and Buildings kind of
Trees To Plant.

Rural school houses as a rule are
not beautiful buildings. Neglect
rather than painstaking care is the
yard. This should not be the case.
Arbor Day should mean much to the
rural school. 1t is the day when the
yard should be cleaned and planted
An elaborate program on Arbor Day
will not improve the appearance of
your school yard unless the program
consists largely of exercises with the
shovel, rake and hoe.
We are often at loss on Arbor Day
in regard to the varieties of trees to
plant. At our own school this was
the case and we consulted the State
Experiment Station at Wooster and
received advice, of very material
kind. Mr.. Secrist the Forester not
only gave US advice but also all the
trees we wanted to plant. The only
cost to US being the cost of the ex-
press. The trees we planted consist
break on the West side of the yard,
White Pine for the wind break on
the North side of the school yard,
CaIdlpa opecloSa IOr Ine East SlQe
and an assortment of various hard
woods for the South side of our
school grounds. Text books on for
estry advise US to avoid straight
| lines in planting trees but on a
small yard of an acre or less this can
not be- done without sacrificing con-
siderable of the play ground.
Some persons criticise the ever
green trees saying they give a place
a "grave yard" appearance but this
we think is only a fancied grievance
There is a stately beauty about the
pines and hemlocks especially in win
ter, that surely adds touch of cul-
tured beauty and refinement to any
architectural or landscape plan.
The planting and care of these
trees means work and practice for
the agriculture class. It is a work
the larger boys and girls enjoy. They
are proud to help make their school
yard beautiful and after a boy has
planted tree on his school yard he
speaks of 'his" school and "his''

LENT.

Last Wednesday was Ash Wednes-
day, one of the days set apart by the
ancient Christian church for the pur-
pose of meditation and prayer which
should afford an opportunity for men
to fix their minds on the things that
make for character and that have to
do with time and eternity. This day
marks the beginning of the Lenten
season another institution of the an
cient church which has been perptuat-
ed through the centuries and is OBJ
served in the present time in one way
Christian church. The original pur-
or another by every branch of the
pose of the lenten season was a pre-
peration of the minds and hearts of
men to properly appreciate and kee
the Easter festival which commemor-
ates the resurrectionof The Christ. It
is good for US all whatever may be
our religious faith or belief to emu
late the example of The Christ who
taught and practiced the highest full
filment of life, the attainment cf peace
and happiness and the development
of the noblest human character
by service and ministry for
the welfare, the ennobling. the peace
s~' happiness and the salvation from
waste and loss ef mankind. Lent
furnishes an opportunity to consider
the way of Christ and to give it a
trial. 1t was not for its own sake and
agrandizment that the ancient church
established this season of Lent, but
for the real and the highest good of
all to whom the church was COM
missioned to minister. And so il
stands to day, as Christ said of the
Sabbath, it was made for man, moi
man for the Sabbath, so Lent stands
for man, his good and his highest
benefit. Not burden but help fo1
those who will put aside for a sea-
son the pursuit of passing pleasure
the strife for gains that cannot be
kept and the qualification of selfish
personal desires and fix theil
thoughts upon the things that abide
and the things that are Eternal.

FOR
WAUSEON ATTORNEY

WAUSEON ATTORNEY
Attorney Fred B. Fowler has the
satisfaction of having won a hard
fought criminal case in the Henry
County Court of Common Pleas last
week. Mr.. Fowler was the attorney
for Judson r. Linthicum, a member
of the Henry County Bar, who was
indicted on the charge of embezzle-
ment made by B. w. Justice of Hol-
gate.
The trial which began last Thurs
day revealed that Justice and Linthi-
cum had had business transactions
since 1907, that Justice had borrowed
money from Linthicum and that he.
Justice, was indebted to Linthicum.
These transactions eliminated on the
goth day of January 1915, when JUS
tice sent Linthicum $500 with which
to pay taxes; the taxes were $1,000
and Justice asked Linthicum to fur
nish the balance and Linthicum, at
first consenting to do so and later
concluding not to, kept the $500
which he credited to Justices account
Justice admitting that he at this
time owed Linthicum from $3.50 to
$500. Justice later paid his taxes
himself and brought the charge of
embezzlement AGAINST Linthicum. The
trial lasted until Friday evening in
cluding an evening session Thursday.
The case was given to the jury Fri
day at $3.50 p. m. and on Saturday
at two p. m. they returned a verdict
of mot guilty" and Linthicum was
discharged. Attorney r. r. Cahill
prosecuted the case for the State.
Mr.. Fowler is securing an enviable
reputation for himself as a criminal
lawyer not only in this county but in
this section of the State.

THE VALUE OF PHYSICAL
TRAINING FOR WOMEN

of the body in relation to the whole.
We look to the training Of the body
through systematic exercise to estab-
lish this relationship. The good con
dition of all parts Of the body are
necessary for the perfection OF the
whole.
Our community looks to the Young
Woman's Christian Association to sup
ply the needs of the young women and
girls Of the city. Many girls have
realized their needs and have come to
the association and have received. in
a small way. what could be given to
them
The time has now come when the
gymnasium is most inadequate. It's
space and equipment must be used for
so many other purposes that il cannot
be utilized exclusively as a place for
physical training The hundreds OF
girls in the city will agree on the
meagre space of the swimming pool.
Only the loyalty of the girls to the Y.
w. c. A. has held their interest. II is
no more than fair that the young
women OF Wilmington should have the
same privileges and advantages as the
young men.

WILL ENLARGE SRELLPOT
SCHOOL This Year

Mr. Charles A. Wagner and DR.. e.
l.. Cross are highly pleased over the
conditions at the Shellpot
school. AT the election for commits
sioners OF that school last June, it
was decided not to comply with the
orders of the County Commissioners
and County superintendent. who had
directed that the school building be
enlarged, and in consequence the
1 State dividend for the district was
withheld. I'm the summer the 90 chill
dren attending the school did not have
sufficient fresh air, and In winter
they had to sit too close to the stove.
The commissioners and taxpayers
held a meeting recently and decided
to enlarge the building and equip It in
a modern way. Until such improve
ments can be made, the school will
hold two sessions daily. The children
in the lower grades are attending one
session and the upper grade children
are attending the other session.
This is the only district in which
County superintendent Cross had
trouble with. and the fact that an
amicable agreement has been reached
concerning school improvements is
very gratifying to the state educators.

who heard the large choir sing say.

Professor George E. King, who was
chairman Of the music committee aud

wonderful concert of the kind ever
heard i'm Wilmington.
One of the features OF the evan.

pie did not realize that such a large
and capable body of singers could be
gotten together. Their rendition of
the special choruses. under the SUI
perb leadership OF Professor Harold

Too few of us realize the Importance
of systematic exercise for the uniform
development Of the body. In this day
of specialization we should more
fully see the need for a highly de-
veloped body to meet the demands of
the strenuous life we are living
Physical training is not a thing to
be done today and tomorrow and then
put aside for an indefinite per-
iOd. It should be our daily food for
it is as necessary to our well being.
There is not a more preventive fac
tor against disease. To be made most
beneficial socialogically should be sup
plemented by good habits and hygienic
conditions Of life Proper air. water
food. bathing. clothing, rest, sleep and
sanitary conditions, are all matters to
be thoughtfully considered.
Conditions have so greatly changed
our mode of living that we must turn
to the gymnasium to obtain the neces-
sary training for the proper devel-
opment of our bodies. The cOngested
conditions of our cities give such a
small space for the recreation of our
children for their daily play and nat
ural activities that it is being found
more essential every day to consider
means of providing our children with
proper physical training.
The young women out i'm the busi-
ness world. almost in as large a force
( as the young men, need that mental
rest after a hard day which is given

The factory girl after long. weary
hours Of continued toll and incessant
grind Of the machinery is greatly ben
efitted by the gymnasium games.
Often we hear people say, 1--WE dc
not need physical training. we have
exercise enough in the pursuit Of our
calling" There is no kind. of man
ual labor that calls into play all parts
