and vicinity was the meeting of the
Northwestern Ohio Superintendents
and Principals Round Table held in
Wauseon last Friday and Saturday.
About one hundred and twenty-five
members from out of town attended
the meeting and the citizens of Wau-
seon rose. to the occasion to furnish
entertainment for the visitors. All
were taken care Of in good shape and
had no cause to criticise the hospital
lty of our town.
One Of the very pleasant features
of this meeting was the banquet serv-
ed in the Pythian Hall on Friday
evening by the ladies of Wauseon
Temple Pythian Sisters under the di-
rectlon of the Boosters Club. The
High School orchestra furnished
music during the banquet that called
forth frequent applause from the
banqueters and the opportunity af-
forded the schoolmasters to meet the
business men of the town and to visit
with each other was evidently much
appreciated. One may go far and
search diligently before they will find
an organization that have the faculty
Of serving a banquet in a daintier

isfactory manner than the ladies of
The Wauseon Temple, Pythian Sis

mentary comments from the visitors
in regard to the banquet.
The Friday evening session proved
to be one of the best entertainments
School Auditorium; the songs by the
Boys Glee Club, who sung as if they
enjoyed it and sung we'll; the solo by
Mr.. Kramer were up to the standard
ent and the address which followed
by DR.. VIM. Bryan, president of In
diana State University, Bloomington,
Indiana, on Vocational Education, was
one Of the best, most interesting, prac-
tical, instructive and inspiring ad-
dress on education to which it has
ever been our privilege to listen.
DR.. Bryan emphasized a danger
and weakness in our American sys-
tenn of specialized education that is
commonly ignored and pied for the
broader, deeper and more thorough
education that will give men and Wo-
men a comprehensive grasp and
knowledge of the universal forces
which will enable them to adapt them
selves to changing circumstances and
conditions and to solve the many and
varied problems of life instead of be-
ing restricted, because of their train
ing and education to one narrow chan
mel of life effort.
