marks, Their Use and Abuse" Dis
cussion on some Of the points was paD-
ticipated in by a number Of those
present. The meeting was an i'm
provement over the former one and
we anticipate a growing interest on
the part of all. This meeting from
month to month is for the purpose
of studying and reporting on prob
lens of interest to all school leaders
in Medina county. 1t is the view OF
the County Superintendent that there
has been too much isolation in Medina
county, not enough getting together
and not sufficient general interest
The "home place" is all right, bu,
what is going on outside is also valu'
able.

claimed by Hon. James M. Cox, Gov
ernor of Ohio, for Friday, April a

portunity for the planting Of trees il
honor of our soldiers who died il
the cause of Liberty, also as q memo
rial of ex-president Roosevelt.

hold tickets for the NE. o. T. A. will
