.education they want. 1t enable
them to keep up the habit of stud!
and to make progress during tenn
porary absences from school. An!
one needing more knowledge in con
nection with his work or his socia
life can secure it by devoting his
spare moments to correspondence:
study. Often a person keenly de-
sires more training, but does not
know that he can get it through his
own unsupported state school sys-
tenn in manner safeguarded by the
best educational standards.
The work as at present organized
includes preparatory and college
grade courses and vocational courses
in business and engineering subjects.
The preparatory courses are of high
school grade. The college courses
enable one to work for credit toward
a degree from the University. As
many as half the credits required
may be earned in this way. Students
who seek university credit must be
able to satisfy the entrance require
ments of the University, but if cred
it is not desired, any one may reg
lister for these courses. Many of
them are of general value, dealing
as they do with economics, history,
political science, sociology, and other
subjects of present interest. The vo-
cational courses are practical in their
nature and make constant application
Of the principles they teach. These,
as well as the other types of courses,
will be increased in number and scope
as the demand grows.
During the war much was said
about the value of education. Trained
men and women were sought every
where to fill positions of response
bility. This need has grown even
greater with the coming of peace. A
new era is upon US in which clear
thinking and enlightened service will
be needed as never before. The per-
son who wants to prepare for this de-
mand, but cannot leave his work and
go back to school, will be glad to
know that he can do so through cor
responednce-study, using his spare
time for that purpose.
Indeed it is question whether a
great deal of preparation for spe-
cific task should not ordinarily be OBJ
tanned in this way. In school it is Of
ten difficult to select ones life work,
one is too young, or does not find
what appeals to him. Moreover, one
must obtain from early school in
struction the foundation which en-
ables each generation to become &C
quainted with the Inheritance of the
race in order to carryaon its best ira
ditions. Often when one is getting
this background he does not know
what his work is to be when he gets
out into the world. Very soon he
feels the need for more training.
This he should be able to secure
through guided home study by means
of the correspondence course.
There is chance for great devel-
opment and great service in this de-
partment of the University, but the
work is of such nature that it can
develop and serve only as information
concerning it reaches the isolated in
dividual and he grasps its significance
in relation to his needs and desires.

THE TAIL Of MY PIG

A little girl in Windham county,
Vermont, a member of the boys'and
girls pig club organized by the de-
partment of agriculture and the
state agricultural college, writes the
following jingle in her club report
about an incident in the life of her
pig:
This is story that / heard:
I'll tell it to you word for word
There lay my pig beside ditch,
Or Water hole, | don't know which.
Beside him lay another creature
Resembling him in form and feat
ure.
The time, / think, was last October,
The man was drunk, my pig was
sober
On the mans finger was ring,
In my pigs nose similar thing.
They both were dirty fat and lazy
And seemed disposed to take life
"aisy''
There might be other points,
ween,
Of likeness 'twixt the two to be seen
For brevity let it suffice
To say that neither looked too
nice.
But in the mild autumnal weather
They lay contentedly together.
Some city people passing by
Glanced these companions to espy.
And as they passed they dropped a
word
Which my pig, listening, overheard;
"You may be rightly Judged
said they,
"By company kept from day to
day."
My pig got up and walked away!
Exchange.

This week will see the close of our
eight months schools. The time for
securing and hiring teachers is now
at hand. 1t is the policy of this office
to serve the legitimate interests of
pupils, patrons, teachers, boards of
education and the public in general.
We are ready to give our Judgment
regarding any teacher. Wherever
possible we desire that the teacher
remain in her present position. If
this is not feasible we want them to
remain in the service of their present
board of education. Finally, we want
every worthy teacher to remain in
Medina county. We want the teacher
to deal fairly with boards of educa-
tion. 1t is not fair to take too much
time in deciding on returning for
next year. 1t is our belief that after
a teacher has been offered position
and given reasonable time (Which need
not be long if the position is the same
one or one with which the teacher is
thoroughly familiar) for decision, if
the answer is not Forthcoming, the
position should be declared vacant,
and efforts Immediately begun for fill
ing the same. Also, if the teacher has
accepted a position for next year, the
board has the right to expect the
teacher to fulfill the terms of the con-
tract. Now is the time to do the

thinking. H.. s.ss-i ].
It is necessary for us to remind
teachers, principals and superinten-
dents regarding reports due at this
office at the close of school. One re-
holds up our efforts to make our re-
port to the State Department. This
is matter of Importance and imme-
diately stamps a man or woman as
efficient or inefficient, as worthy or
unworthy of holding positions OF re-
sponsibility. It clearly indicates
whether or not one is warranted in
recommending such persons for bet
ter positions.
On May 5, the State Legislature,
after brief recess, reconvened. This
legislature was elected on a pledge OF
financial relief, the schools to share
in such relief. Members of school
boards and others interested in school
relief should write our representative,
Hon. Frank M. Lytle, House of Rep
resentatives, Columbus, Ohio and Sen
ator J. N. Stone, Columbus, Ohio urg-
ing the necessity of such relief. While
we expect the legislature and rightly
so, to take up this matter and give
relief, the likelihood that this will be
done depends very largely upon the
urging from the "folks at home" A
large number of individual letters
raining down upon our Legislators will
receive attention. 1t is hoped that
there are sufficient number of public
minded persons in Medina county to
guarantee the influence of Medina
county on the right side. Let the
people speak.

OBITUARY

Chas. F. Zigler, for many years
a highly esteemed citizen of Wads-
worth, departed this life April rs at
the age of 81 years, s months and 15
days. He is survived by his widow,
Lavina, having been joined in the holy
bonds of wedlock Sc years ago. No
children came to bless this union.
Chas. Zigler was born in Stuttgart,
Germany, the second youngest Of
three boys. The parents followed
each other early to the grave leaving
the boys at a young and tender age
to be brought up by an aunt, who
loved them dearly and did all she
could to reconcile them to their loss.
After few years the aunt followed
the parents, and the boys were left
alone. The two youngest decided to
come to this country, settling in Phil
adelphia when Chas. Zigler engaged
in the milling business with four Qua
ker brothers. After some years in
Philadelphia he decided to try his
fortune in the west and settled in Cop
ley, Ohio, where he bought and i'm
proved milling property. After en-
gaging in this work for number of
years, he decided to retire from active
business and removed to Wadsworth
where he lived up to the time Of his
death. For some months past Mr..
Zigler has been in failing health
from a complication of ailments. He
had been a life long member of the
Mennonite church.
Funeral services were held Sunday
afternoon from the residence and the
remains placed in Woodlawn mauso-
leum. Rev. A. S. Shelly of Bluffton
conducted the service.-Banner-Press.

POTATOES RESPOND WELL
TO HEAVY FERTILIZATION

Compared with all other field crops
potatoes yield more profitably to the
application of commercial fertilizers
as shown by tests at the Ohio Expert
ment Station. Experiments covering
a25-year period in potato culture give
an average of ITO bushels to the acre
as compared with the 82-bushel aver
age yield for Ohio during the past 10
years.
This yield was produced when only
8 tons of manure was used as fer
tilizer but experiments on other crops
have shown that the effect of manure
may be greatly increased by the use
of acid phosphate in addition to the
manure.
Because European potash is not yet
available and is high in price, special
lists point out that potato growers will
be justified in using from 10 to 16 tons
of manure and 300 to 500 pounds OF
acid phosphate to the acre.
Other experiments in potato culture
show that potatoes give the highest
yield when grown in rotation with
other farm crops, such as wheat and
clover.

and narrow. A popular Spanish "pre-
miere danseuse" was the original
wearer of this style gown and perhaps
that is sufficient reason for it's COM
plex outline.
A costume would not be Spanish
without a bodice, so a tight-ftting
bodice was chosen with rather a short
waistline. From beneath this a full
overdress is tucked under, giving a
bouffant effect, about ten inches up
from the lower edge of an exceedingly
tight underskirt. This new mode is at
it's best when developed in taffeta or
MORE.
Vivid Green MOire
A rather startling, though alto
gether extraordinary chic gown, at
tracted me at one of the benefit dances
(that are so much in vogue nowadays),
because of the extremity of it's line
and color. It was fashioned after the
lines of the Camargo silhouette and
was developed in a vivid, emerald
green moire, over which was draped
navy-blue tulle. The effect was gor-
geous and the gown was truly har-
monious combination of color. Two
brilliant emeralds held the tulle at the
shoulders and helped to dazzle the be-
wildered eyes Of the spectator.
The younger set are receiving more
consideration now, and the delightful
creations of the modistes are perfect
in the smallest detail. Especial atten-
tion is given to party and evening
frocks. Unlike the gowns of the ma
irons, the frocks of the younger folks
are developed in pastel shades and
trimmed with delicate flowers and rib
bons.
Mexican DrawnwOrk
The newest collar and-cuff sets are
decorated with Mexican drawnwork.
This artful accomplishment gives
dainty touch to the linen and adds to
the refinement of the set. Some are
in the pretty pale shades of the sea-
son, but the majority are white.
Another new feature is the triple
colored girdles that are used on the
evening frocks. These girdles are of
a harmonious combination and may be
worn with different frocks. This fea-
ture is worth attention, for it saves
both time and money in buying new
one for every frock.
