q visit will convey true impression
of the work that is being done by
the boys and girls and their teachers.
At the beginning OF the present
school year survey was made OF
the status Of advancement in the sub
jects of spelling, English and arith-
metic OF the pupils in the grades Of
the Mt. Vernon schools. The results
of, this survey is now in booklet form
and a COPY is in the hands Of each
teacher. Anyone interested in copy
can secure It by calling at the office
OF Superintendent Elliott. A written
request will bring it by mail.
These surveys show exactly how
our schools compare in advancement
with other schools throughout the
United States. They also reveal how
much advancement we make in any

Happy
Ruthlessly Shattered

MAINLAND, CAL.--The plight Of n
" husband whose pretty young
bride went home TO her mother
every night for more than month
after the wedding, and finally went
home for good, Is told In an annuI-
ment suit filed by Matthew Strauss,
wealthy manufacturing tailor.
Strauss fell I'm love with Martha
Tarkshot, nineteen, and the "belle Of
Fruitvale." at first sight. He courted
her with costly presents. including a
diamond ring. pearl necklace and
descriptions Of the luxurious home
they would occupy together.
The wedding was In this city, July
o, last, and Strauss took his bride
home to realize his hopes Of conjugal
happiness.
The bride went along willingly
enough, but when darkness ap-
lgoached prepared to go home TO ,her
mother. Strauss pleaded with her to
spare him the loneliness her depar-
ture would cause. but she went back
to Fruitvale for the night, the COM
plaint tells.
This was repeated every night un-
iii August 1S last, with Mrs. Strauss

spending the days under her hus-
bands roof, but going back to her
parents every night. On the night In
August, Strauss complains. he re-
turned home and found pinned to his
pillow paper on which was written.
"Sweet dreams"
Strauss instead Of seeking slumber
sought Information. He was shocked
when he was told that just after the
wedding his bride had told girl friends
she did not love him.
"She said she was tired Of working
and only married you because she
wanted life Of ease, and you gave
her pretty presents" Strauss states
he was told.

purpose to those held eight years ago
when lights last burned in all the
schools of Ohio on the same night.
That time marked the end of the sur
vey of school conditions authorized
by the constitutional convention of
1913 and the beginning of the move
ment to profit by the findings of that
survey. The night ushered in a new
day in Ohio education and the pres
ent status Of schools, particularly of
the rural schools, is the direct result
of interest awakened and visions
caught that night.

Operate In, Observing Am
erican Education Week

Knox county schools are expected
to cooperate this week in the program
for the observance OF American Edu.
cation week. This is q nationwide
rally, sponsored by some 35 national
organizations under the leadership
of the American Legion and the Ma
tional Education association.
County superintendent J. c. Mar
riott has received from practically ev-
cry teacher in the county assurance
Of a purpose to cooperate in the pro-
gram for the observance of this week
in the schools. In some the subject
will be presented to the pupils daily
while in others 1t will be confined to
a single program. The arrangement
of these programs is left to the ini-
tiative of the teacher.
The observance of American Educa-
tion week also includes the holding
of community meetings at which the
subject of education is to be the prime
subject. A partial list only has been
compiled of the schools arranging for
such gatherings. Among those an
nounced for Friday evening are: the
Horn school, Liberty township, Ell
Biggs, teacher; Fairview school, Lib
erty township, Miss Isabelle Carey
teacher; Salem school, Wayne town
ship, Miss Lucille Dill, teacher. A
program will be given at the Clintor
school, South Vernon, r. l.. Jones

The state department of education
is anxious to have lights burning il
every school house in Ohio on thu

The Mount Vernon public schools
have big proposition tb offer par
ents. They offer your child and mine
al future. We do,not hesitate tp put
our names on the dotted line Of an mp
plication for life insurance, policy
for this policy provides for the 'futtire
of our wives and children But edu-
cation provides a greater future and
a better policy at a lower premium.
According to figures given out from
one of the officers of the department
of the Interior at Washington, Mount
Vernon spends $25 per capita for soft
drinks, tobacco and chewing gum. We
spend $40 apiece for Joy rides, pleas
ure resorts and horse races. There is
ing to the expenditure of the above $55
for each one of>us in Mt. Vernon. But
we just wanted to call attention to
the fact that while we are spending
$65 for soft drinks, tobacco, chewing
gum, joy rides and horse races we are
spending about twelve dollars ($12.00)
for the education Of our boys and
girls. I'VE think we believe In edu-
cation" says the above mentioned Of
ficer. "No doubt we do believe in
education in a way, but we do not pay
very much for it,"
But let the amount be whatever II
will, the people of Mount Vernon have
right to know just what they are
getting for the money expended. Few
people take the time to find out just
what the schools are doing. A visit
to the various buildings of the Mt
Vernon schools will afford the best
opportunity Of discovering what We
get for our money. This is what the
State Department. does when it want.
to determine what any particular
school is doing.
A few days ago a representative o
the state department spent whole
day in the Mount Vernon high school
He observed the work of the various
teachers, inspected the equipment ant
building, called a conference of teach
ers and in few days the Board o
Education received letter from tn,
Department setting forth the result
of the investigation. The following
