Smyrna Breaks Winning Streak of
Harrington by Defeating Them , to
Smyrna High School opened the
home season April y, with a hard
fought 2-1 victory over the HaTing-
ton High School team. The well her
aided Harrington team came confident
of victory after winning eight straight
games in the lower part of the state,
but found, to their great sorrow, a
team which, at last, they could not
handle. Smyrna's only runs came in
the second when PleasantOn, first man
up was hit, reached second on Mil
.er's hit, Sparks, next man up, amde a
two bagger over third driving in both
men. Harrington's only run came in
the third, when Wood was passed,
stole second and scored on overthrow
Many times after, Smyrna had mer
on bases but everything failed to score
Pleasanton ,Smyn2's pitching all, not
only struck out Is men, but had gooC
support back of him. Only two times
was the ball knocked out of the in.
field. Miller showed up exceptionally
well for Smyrna and Karlik, of Har
rington, won praise among the spec
tatOrs for bringing down several Ions
drives. All preparations are beinl
made for the interscholastic tract
meet, to be held at Caesar Rodne,

OPPOSED TO LEIPSIC BRIDGE

New Bridge Proposed At Martins
Would Block Navigation It Is Declared
Some opposition to the construction
of a new bridge over the Leipsic river
at a public hearing held in Leipsic on
Friday by Colonel Earl l. Brown, L.
S. engineer, of Wilmington. 1t is pro-
posed to erect the bridge at Martins
about one mile up the river from Leip-
sic. Owners of farms above the pro-
posed span protested that it would
block navigation of craft carrying
farm supplies. There will be a clear
ance beneath the bridge of from five
to nine feet, according to the tide.
Governor William D. Denney, who
owns a farm near Leipsic, was among
those who spoke at the hearing. He
favored the bridge. About fifteen
persons in all were heard. Colonel
Brown will embOdy the testimony and
his recommendations in a report to
the War Department.

Various proposals are made to cure
the evils which follow unrestricted
The one now in effect is a drastic re-
striction which works we'll enough as
far as it goes; at least with our pres
ent methods we are not getting a larg-
er number of foreign-born than we
can assimiliate.
But the subject inspires wonder as
to whether our methods do not leave
something to be desired. Twenty
years ago we had just begun to con-
slider whether the public schools
should not be something more in the
community than buildings and teach-
ers; today they are often community
centers, provide books and play, as
well as opportunity, and are, in eff
feet, factories for the production of
citizens, as well as education.
The cry of "paternalism" in govern
ment, raised against all expansions
of the school system, have proved to
be mere loud noises. We are still a
free country, even if we do offend the
reactionary by making our schools
something bigger in conception than
the "little red schoolhouse at the
crossroads" of song and story.
Why should we not make our i'm
migration laws something more than
a mere matter of restriction? Why
not put all immigrants into training
camps for months, make them get
sufficient collupuial English to enable
them to understand their surround
ings, give them sufficient training il
American Government methods t.
prevent them being mere puppets il
the hands of ward leaders, suppl!
them with enough inspirationa
knowledge of the American ideals an,
what they stand for, so that they, lik
their children in public schools, vii
want to stand at salute as the faj
goes by?
"Paternalism?" Certainly! VIII
not? The more foreigners we tur
into good Americans, the less troubl
we will have with foreign ideas, flag:
newspapers, methods, and worries! l
other words, why not go beyond ou
present policy of "giving the foreign
er chance to the policy of "mal
ing him accept the chance?" 1t woul

TWO SPLENDID PICTURES

The Goldwyn district manager, Mr..
Fish, was in Glenwood last Thursday
and in the afternoon gave a private
showing of two new releases by the
Goldwyn Pictures Corporation.
''The Eenemies of Women" is a
much talked of pictue and is the last
word in photography and motion pic
ture production. The settings were
taken from scenes in Monte Carlo,
Paris and Russia and showed the inter-
ior views Of the noted palaces. These
scenes were wonderful and one was
carried away by the beauty of them
and by the story which was carried out
through the play and which taught a
wonderful lesson of service and self
sacrifice. Lionel Barrymore and Alma
Ruebens were the leading characters.
A re-make Of the famous picture
from Rex Beach IS story, "The Spoil
ers," was also shown. Milton Stills
and Anna Q. Nelson took the leading
parts in this play.
The pictures were made more real.
