lures abroad. On his eighty-fourth
birthday he was honored by the He
brew Union College with the honorary
degree Of LII. D.
He was a member Of the Washing
ton Hebrew Congregation and a di-
rector and an honorary trustee OF
that organization. He maintained his
home in this city at 2013 Columbia
road northwest.
Called Upon for Opinion.
In the legal profession Mr.. Wolf
was nationally and internationally
known. In that profession he had had
to do with many international mat
ters that affected his race, and In
their settlement. either through legal
or diplomatic channels, he was called
upon for advice and legal opinion
AS a public speaker Mr.. Wolf was
forceful, and entertaining and in
structive, and as a debater he was no
mean opponent in court or on the po-
litical rostrum. 1t has been said OF
Mr.. Wolf that he probably contribu-
ted in larger measure than any other
man of his time to the dissipation of
the strong prejudice prevalent In
many quarters against his race. and
brought together men of all classes
to respect and honor the Jew of this
country.
MIR. Wolf, after coming to this
country with his parents as a young
boy. spent his early life in Uhrichs-
vile, Ohio. where he did the work of
a clerk In the store of his uncle.
Later he for short time was in busi-
ness for himself but that line did
not appeal to his dormant talents, and
his burning thirst for knowledge and
a better education led him to aban-
don that and seek preparation for a
professional career as lawyer and
writer. In 1859 he took up the study
of New Philadelphia. Ohio. Later he
entered the Cleveland Law School and
graduated with honors and was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1861.
Admitted to Bar.
Two of the distinguished men that
passed upon his qualifications for ad-
mission to the bar were Columbus De-
lano. Secretary of the Interior under
President Grant, and Frank Hurd

DECATUR SCHOOLS TO OPEN TERM MONDAY
Two New Buildings Will Soon Be Completed
 TENNESSEE VALLEY BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD

With indications of the largest en- roilment in their history the schools of Decatur, for the first time con solidated in one system, will open the 1923 term on September IT under the direction of w. w. Benson. as superintendent.
 Contrary to hope, the new school buildings will not be ready for oc- cupancy on the opening date. but of ficials believe they will be ready shortly thereafter. The schools of what was once Albany and Decatur, and now Decatur, have been rapidly in the last few years. furnishing in indication of the growth and pro gress of the community.
 Some ten years ago there were con structed four new buildings in that part Of the city which then was New Decatur Three of the buildings, accommodated students of the lower grades. while the fourth housed the high school. Only the lower floor of the later building was finished at the time. This enlargement of fla cilities alleviated the crowded con dition ot the original building. the Gordon school, named In honor of one of the founders of the city.
 As the years passed, however. it was found necessary to finish up and equip the upper story of the high rary annex in the rear. The same crowded condition prevailed in the Decatur schools and an additional building had to be used.
 More than a year ago bond issues were voted in both cities to erect new buildings. When these are com pleted, the conditions will be greatly improved and possible for a year or two. the buildings will not be crowded

 Whereas few years ago farmers so frequently brought empty wagons into town, during the summer, and returned home with wagons loaded with products they had purchased on credit, now Tennessee Valley farmers more often bring into town wagons loaded with cross ties or farm pro duce and return home with the pro- ducts they need, and a pocket full of coin as well.
