.REBEKAHS IN CHARGE
OF DANCING SCHOOL

The dancing school being conduc-
ted by the Rebekahs in Odd Fellows
hall each Friday evening is under the
auspices of five of the married women
of the order. The purpose OF the
class is to accumulate a fund for the
refurnishing of the Rebekah lodge
room, whose furnishings were burned
a few years ago. A modest charge
is made for pupils, and all the profits
60 to the lodge treasury.
Not only are the young people given
experienced instruction, but the op-
portunity is afforded for a pleasant
evening of home-like enjoyment. The
young people, the boys and girls, are
surrounded with good moral influen-
ces, and social conditions are OF the
best. Parents are invited to attend
any evening and note the atmosphere
of the hall. The women who have
the dance in charge and who in reali-
,ty .chaperone the young people, are
among Medina's best citizens and they
Have the welfare Of the young people
lat heart at all times.
Some of the most enjoyable even.
ings ever spent by the young people
who do attend have been credited uI
to these social gatherings. The at.
tendence has been good thus far, with
increasing attendance with the added
weeks. Prof. Barry, of Berea, is the
teacher, and he has made many
friends in Medina since the series be.

STATE AG. INSTITUTE
FILLS O. S. u. CAMPUS

The Ohio Ag. Institute held at the
O. s. U. campus last week was we'll
attended and much interest shown in
the work over the state that it repre-
sents. One ofthe features was the
delegation of nearly 300 winning
boys and girls who were given free
trip to the institute because of their
prize-winning capabilities.
There was some criticism of the in
stitute as Statewide proposition. So
large has it become that it is i'm
possible to properly care for it on the
University campus. Knowing ones
say it should be transferred to the
State Fair Grounds, where all ex-
hibits and lectures can be properly
cared for within close quarters and
easy reach. With this improvement
it is said, the proposition would prove
practically perfect.
Medina county was we'll repre-
sented, something like forty going
from here.

In certain city a few days
ago an incident was witnessed as
follows: A little girl had been
out of school for many days ill
and had just recently came back,
pale and emaciated. On a rainy
day she was Flooding her way
homeward. Three teachers, one
of them her own, passed by
sheltered by umbrellas, yet
neither one had forethought or
sympathy enough to offer a little
child shelter. Moral: Where
there is no thought of the wei
fare of little children evidenced,
and no responsive chord of hu-
man sympathy shown by folks
who claim to be teachers are
they true teachers or mere
money grabbers"?

was held up in the limelight as

came the world war with its,

From beginning to end of the
campaign, Senator Harding
manifested his full appreciation
of the seriousness of the task he
would assume if elected to the
Presidency. The rank and file of
the Republican party should
emulate his example and in the
hour of victory should not per-
nit their rejoicing over parti-

act that the election is call to
uty and responsibility rather
an a bestowal Of the rewards
