TEACHERS MEETING
HERE SATURDAY

The fourth annual meeting of school
board members Of Medina county will
be held at the Princess theater, Me-
dina, on Saturday, Nov. "a, beginning
at 9:30 a. m.
Three notable speakers will be pres
ent, Henry G. Williams of Columbus,
Prof. G. w. Stewart of Ohio State
University, and DR.. Alfred Vivian,
Dean of the College Of Agriculture of
the same university.
This meeting is called in accordance
with the provisions of section 4747-1
General Code of Ohio, which provides
that once each year all the members
of the boards of education of the var
ious village and rural schools within
the county school district shall hold a
meeting for the purpose Of discussing
matters relating to the schools of such
county school district.
In the past the Medina county
meetings have been notable for their
excellence, such men as McBrlen and
Mureman Of the national Bureau of
Education, I4andsittel and Clifton of
the State Department of Education,
Prof. K. L. Hatch of Wisconsin and
others having appeared on the pro-
gram.
This years talent will be no excep-
ton to the usual high standard. Henry
G. Williams is one of the most fluent
and interesting speakers in Ohio ano
is much sought after for meetings OF
this kind. Prof. Stewart is new
man in Ohio, but comes here from 6
wide experience in the northwest
where he had charge of one of the ble
four-year agricultural high schools
of the state of Minnesota. At pres
ent he has charge of the training o
the men who will go out from Stat.
to teach agriculture in the rural higl
schools.
Dean Vivian will explain the plan
of the state board of education flo
carrying out the provisions of tn
Smith-Hughes law as applied to rura
high schools. Under the provisions o
: this law high schools employing ma
to devote all his time can get tn
salary so paid returned to them fror
the national government. The detail
of this law will be fully explained.
The. Smith Hughes law is the frs
serious attempt on the part of the ma
. tional government to increase tn
efficiency of the public schools by di
rect national aid and may be take
as forerunner of still greater thing
| for education. The feeling is grad
, ually growing among thinking me
that the problems of education ar
r too great, too far reaching and involv
too great an expense to be solved en-
= tirely by small local committees. Thi
: new law exemplifies the wide sprea
V interest now being taken in agricu
ture, domestic science, manual train
= ing and vocational subjects.
4 The teachers of the county wi
: unite with the school board member
to make this great meeting. A
0 the talks will be of value to teacher
;. and school board members alike.

VILLAGE DAMAGE
SUIT POSTPONED

Members of the village council met
at the office of Mayor Randall last
Saturday night to discuss the position
Of the village in the suit brought
against it for $4,000 damages by DR..
G. J. Damon, who charges that sew
age from the east disposal plant con-
teammates a water way running
through plaintiffs farm of seventy or
more acres east Of town.
Plaintiff secured judgment against
the village a few years ago in another
suit involving the same farm ami
sewage plant. Soon after this the
council then in Office drew up the nee
essary resolutions for renovating the
disposal plant, to guard against fur
ther legal trouble. But that was as
far as the matter ever got. The dis
posal plant was recently rebuilt, but
not until long after DR.. Damon had
filed his second suit. ]
The case was to have been tried
this term of court probably this week
or next. But by consent Of the attor-
news for both sides on Monday it was
postponed until next term.

Mr.. and Mrs. E. J. Sperring, who
sold their farm in Medina county
some time ago, and went on an ex-
tended trip to the far west with the
intention Of remaining there if they
could find satisfactory location, write
the Sentinel from Long Branch, Calf,
that they contemplate returning in
the spring, having failed to find any
place that beats Medina county.
When Mr.. Sperring and family left
Medina, they travelled through the
middle west to St. Paul, thence to
Winnepeg, Vancouver and Victoria, B

FOOD PLEDGE CARD
CAMPAIGN A SUCCESS

The Food Conservation Campaign In
Medina village was pushed with vigor
and enthusiasm by the Pledge lard
committee. Seven hundred and twen-
ty-nine pledges were taken, and they
are still coming in from those who
were not at home, or who wished to
inform themselves further. or to con
suit their husbands before signing.
The per cent. of those who did not
sign is very small and continues to
diminish.
When the import of the food ques
tion in relation to our soldiers, our
allies and our nation was fully under
stood, there was no lack of signatures.
In the Hungarian district, where ex-
PLANTATION was made through an in
terpreter, they all signed the pledge
and were pleased to display the card
in the window. Many German fami-
lies were proud to be among the loyal
and best supporters of the food cam
paign.
The housekeepers of Medina may be
relied upon to do their full share in
conserving and dispensing without
waste of food that is brought into their
kitchens, with due regard for the COM
fort and needs of their families. Those
who have always practiced economy
are now better prepared to conserve
the food products for which the gov
ernment asks. The town is to be con-
graduated on her intelligent and capa-
BILE housewives.
If there are any who have failed to
sign the pledge, and wish to do so, ap-
ply to the chairman of the committee
Mrs. Addie Miller, 207 S. Court street
who will gladly supply cards and in
formation.
Nearly every member of the COM
mittee represents the street upon
which she lives. or was sufficiently
near to be familiar with the selection
for which she was responsible. The
following is the personnel Of the com
mittee:

WANTS SON PAROLED

The County Commissioners are in
receipt of a letter from Mrs. Battles,
mother of John Battles, who is serving
a three months sentence in the Can
ton workhouse, asking the board to
authorize her sons release, stating
that she is practically dependent upon
him, and that he was receiving treat
ment for lame wrist at the time Of
his incarceration. Thet latter state
ment is borne out by a letter to the
commissioners from DR.. G. J. Damon,
who states that John should be here
to continue his electrical treatments
for, the lame wrist.
Johns sojourn at the work house
is costing Medina county 65 cents a
day for his board.

The sugar situation in Medina is
about. the same as il has been for
some time, each grocer being able to
secure just about enough for his own
customers, although one local mer-
chant was entirely out of it Thursday
night. There is very little, if any
brown sugar in the local market. The
same stringent condition is reported
throughout the county.

PRESIDENTS HIGH IDEALS
RECALLED IN HIS SPEECH
Remarks at Gridiron Club Dinner,
February 20, 1915, Bear Upon
Dealings With Germany.

The high ideals President Wilson has
had throughout his handling of the
questions at issue with Germany, re-
sulting in the dramatic breaking of
relations, are distinctly shown in re-
marks he made to the Gridiron Club of
this city at its annual dinner February
20, 1916, which was subsequently pub
lished with the consent of the President
and the club.
The speech was one which brought
the assembled guests to their feet in
tremendous enthusiasm. and has lived
in their memories ever since. 1t con-
cluded as follows:
You can never tell your direction eX-
cept by long measurements. You cannot
establish line by two posts you have
got to have three at least to know
whether they are straight with any
thing. and the longer your line the more
certain your measurement. There is
Dnly one way in which to determine
how the future of the United States is
going to be projected. and that is by
looking back and seeing which way the
lines ran which led up to the present
moment of power and of opportunity
There is no doubt about that.

NEW coLuMeIA RECORDS.

There's a Little Bit of Monkey Still
Left in You and Me"-the Darwinian
theory of evolution humorized-is to
be found among recent Columbia rec
ords.
M. J. O'Connell the breezy tenor
comedian, expounds the theory in a
most laughabe fashion, telling how
we eat peanuts, bite our nails. and
some OF us still carry tales-not to
forget the "monkey-shines' Of matri-
mony.
Nowadays sufferers from ennui are
no longer told 20 travel. But they are
told to keep moving" Dance and
grow young" is the slogan.
Even the dance itself is growing
younger. thanks to G. Hepburn Will
son, who created the dance with the
cunnlngly infanGle tite-the Tod
dle"-or, to be exact. the Inner Cir
Gle Toddle"
And to keep the toddlers toddling.
Columbia has issued a dance record
that is a namesake OF the "Toddle'-
Timer Circle Toddle' The novel tenn
po of this catchy melody has already
scored a popularity which will make
a recording OF it doubly welcome.
