4 Very Wise Citizen
of Mladelphia

not now living except in
what he said and did, had the
greatest abhorrence of the
waste of time and labor upon
"gimcracks" that had no prac-
tical usefulness to compensate
for the money and time spent
upon them.
His controlling idea was a
principle that nothing was
good or beautiful but in the
measure of its usefulness,
though almost all things
might have utility under ex-
traordinary circumstances.
Humanity speaking, how can
there be any truer source of
happiness and of honest inde-
pendence than from living an
unwasted life?

venience that makes the
informal country house just
a so much more comforta-
bic and attractive. For

room. for the breakfast
room that is apt to be
drafty. and for the library
or living room. there is a
type of screen that is suit

liable color note to the
room.
A very fine Eighteenth
Century screen by Zucher-
ELI. a six-fold screen that
may be used in two sec
tions. is painted in a low
key in soft grays and blues
and greens. The theme is
a variation Of the old archi-
tectural paintings. with
rather more background Of
trees and vistas of quiet
country than the architec-
tural painting usually en-
bodies. This screen is ex-
traordinarily tall. and
would determine the char
acter of an entire library or
living-room.
An English six-fold
painted leather screen Of
the Eighteenth Century is
patterned with birds and
trees and bits of land
scape, and is important
enough to use as the nucleus

and cats and figures Of men
and women in masks and

tones. These are patterned with

screen made in Paris by Guy
Arnoux is covered with Chinoi-
serie figures in vivid lacquer

be IN interesting color note for
an informal living room. Price

paper screen is gay with bright
blue and green. Hunters in their
pink coats and soft willow trees
in the foreground give the screen
charm Of color and pattern.

the new building.
Following DIR. Coles talk various
members of the club were called upon
to express their sentiment in -egard
to the bond issue and the new school
building. After number had
spoken vote was taken and by an
almost. unanimous vote of those pre-
sent the club expressed itself as in
favor of the proposed new building
and pledged itself to support the
movement. The matter of providing
for the extra taxes of those who
might be unable to bear the extra
financial burden without serious
hardships. About $11,75O was
pledged to cover a period of ten
years and to be administered by
special committee to be appointed.
Later this action on the part of
the club was rescinded for the rea-
son that it might be a technical vio-
lation of the Corrupt Practices Act
and so invalidate the election.
Taking action looking toward the
active support of the bond issue
of $225,000 the club voted that
committee composed of one member
to represent each voting precinct
should be appointed by the chair
to direct a canvass of each PRECINCT
in the interests of the Bond Issue
A publicity committee consisting
of the editors of the three papers
was also appointed.
The Commerce Club is open to all
the men of Wauseon and Immediate
vicinity, the membership fee is $100
per year and the sole purpose of the
organization is to assist in advanc-
ing the betterment and growth of
the town in every legitimate way

By Paul Yount
How Big's Your Business, Mr.. Man
A Speck in Life's Great Fryin' Pan.
And yet We ALL are prone to think
There's not solitary gink
In all this grand and glorious land
Who doesn't know Our Make and
Brand
Who doesn't think that what we do
Is Just The Thing-Beyond. Taboo.
And so, because we are so wise
We hate like sin to advertise,
We hate to spend our hard earned
dough
To tell the people "What They
Know"
But if We'll stop and take our stock
We're apt to get an awful shock
To find how Small's the measley
bunch
Who even had the slightest hunch
Of What We Do and What We
Make
Now isn't that enough to take
Away Conceit and in it's place
Make You Look Facts Straight In
The Face?
If you'll do this, then I'll surmise
You'll go ahead and advertise
With All Your Might and in a way
That's bound to make the dern stuff
pay.

On February 9Th, the electors OF
York Township will vote upon the
question of centralizing all the
schools of said township and replace
the one-room, one teacher schools
with a modern, central school of the
best type, offering work agriculture,
manual training, household arts
muse and similar subjects, In addi-
To-. to the subjects, usually taught
.ir the ore-room school. The new
school will also contain a community
auditorium and gymnasium for the
benefit of old and young in the en-
tire township, thus making the life
of the farmers in York Township
equal to that of city folks so far as
educational and social advantages
are concerned, and what is more, the
school will be of the rural high
school type which is especially adj
apted to the farming community.
Auto bus or wagon transportation
VIII be furnished to every pupil in
both the elementary school and
throughout the four-year high school
period. but the present plan is to or
gsnize a Junior High School for the
first nine grades in the township but
send, the Senior High School stu
dents of the last three grades to the
adjoining high schools Of Wauseon
ana Delta where they may enjoy
better facilities and advantages over
tile smaller high school and at less
cost to the township.
The reasons for this step are
briefly as follows:

YORK TOWNSHIP SCHOOLS
Electors of York Vote Capitalization OF Schools OF
that Township February Eighth-FOur Excellent
Reasons for This forward Step.

(1). The farmers children are
lust as much entitled to a modern
elementary and high school education
as the children of the towns and
cities and this the one-teacher school
is unable to furnish.
(2). The social life of the farmer
should have the satisfying qualities
that good homes and good schools
alone can furnish in order to retain
our best farmers in the country and
stem the tide towards the city which
is today running some of the finest
rural districts of the United States.
(3). The unsanitary conditions OF
the ordinary country school OF today
are a menace to the health OF coun-
try children and almost a reproach
upon an intelligent community in this
part of the rich state of Ohio and OF
Fulton County as well.
(4). A democracy like ours can
not exist unless it is backed up
and administered bv a intelligent
citizenship and the farmers should
have an equal share in the affairs
of the nation since they constitute
practically one half of the popula,
tion of the county,.
That the central school speaks fol
itself in furnishing high school faci'
lities for boys and girls near then
own home is clearly proven by look
ing at the following comparison be
tween thet ownships of this county
which have no central schools in op
Grafton and the two that have giver
] it a trial for. several years now:

WAUSEON COMMERCE CLUB

Serve Delicious Lunch Officers for Ensuing Year
Elected Club Pledges Support to Bond
Issue for School Building.

The Wauseon Commerce Glib held
its annual election of officers at the
High School Assembly room last
Friday evening. Previous to the
meeting members of the club were
the guests of the Board Of Education
at SIX o'clock lunch served cafeteria
style by members of the Domestic
Science Department of the High
School. The lunch was delicious and
dalntlly served.
In the absence of the President, T.
J. Spencer, the meeting was called to
order by MIR. F. H. Reighard, vice
president who called for nomina-
tons for the various officers to be
elected. The election resulted as
follows: President L. M. Macdonald;
Vice President, F. H. Reighard;
Secretary A. E. Harger; Treasurer,
Frank Weber following the election.
Mr. Reighard called the President,
Mr. L. M. Macdonald to the chair.
Mr.. Macdonald called on DR.. E.
G. Cole. president of the Board of
Education to present the matter of
the proposed new school building. DR.
Cole went over the history of the
conditions and circumstances lead
ing up to the present situation in
regard to the Bond Issue of 1925, ,O0O

Wauseon School District at the
special election to be held Tuesday

ply to questions gave facts and
figures regarding school enrolment

has been working, also explained IN

creased land values. PIG say it has
not affected them, and 16 say it has
decreased values.

5. If possible, would you change

Of the flrmers whose children must
ride from five to six miles each way
daily 102 were against changing

The test mony of these farmers is
overwhelming that the children do
not suffer from cold NOR from any
other cause while being transported
to school. Add to this the fact that
most of these children arp being
transported over dirt roads and un-
improved roads that can not begin
to compare with the roads of Fulton
County, Ohio, and it would seem
strange indeed if York Township
should fail to vote for centra1ization
on Feb. 9th. The truth is that every
township in the county should be
thinking hard ON the same PROPOSE
ton and centralize it's schools with
in the next few years. The time fol
the one-teacher school in Northwest
ern Ohio has gone forever and Fol
ton County should not lay behind the

Full data from other schools not
available.
When a person stops to think that
big, wealthy and populous town
ships Ike York and Clinton, within
the shadow of fine high schools have
Just about half the percentage OF
pupils enrolled in high schools as
compared with Fulton and Chester
fed while the assessed valuation OF
She former townships is from two to
4Nree times that of the latter, and
that the elementary schools below
tho high school in the central school
is far ahead of the one room school
in efficiency the difference seems
almost unbelievable. But just such
flcts led the York Township board
to submit the question to the electors
of the school district on Feb. 9Th
and it would seem that every think
ing person, man or woman, would
vote for the proposition.
Doubtless the greatest brgbeaT
that still scares people into voting
against the centralized schools is
the transportit'on Of pupils because
II is the only valid objection that has
ever been raised against the new
school system outside of the increas-
ed cost of the school. But sucF
testimony as County Supt. E. B
Hodges of Green County, Iowa, ha:
collected from 1400 farmers in vari
ous schools of that state ought tt
set at rest all fears on that score
Here are the results of his investi
cation and answers to his questions

2. Are they tardy as much as be
