portunlty for the children to think for themselves, is eliminated. Very often mothers say to their children, Do this for mothers sake," and teachers say to their pupils, DO this for teachers sake" This prac- tice should be discontinued. he said. Children should be told to do cer- tain things, not for mothers sake, nor for teachers sake. but for right's s sake, and for that reason alone. If this were done many social problems would be avoided and there would be q material saving in paper, ink and energy on the part of those would seek to accomplish their pur- pose in this way.
 Sex Education
 Another of the major issues dealt with by Dr. Sternheim was the lack of honesty. The subject of sex edu- cation is an avoided issue by the parents. He said that the salient facts about this sacred subject should be brought to the children by their parents, those responsible tor giving them their lives. He said that If the parents do not assume the responsibility in this respect the children will get the facts in some other way which might have It's i'll effects. Dr. Sternheim compliments cd the goth century women by say ing that what progress has been made in the discussion Of this con- iccrated subject, condemned by many as most shameful thing" is due 10 the efforts of the women who .n part have worked as Parents and Teachers associations.
 Dr. Sternheim sounded a pote in discussing the modern practice of ,'cOnomizing in educational facilities. tie said that even if it should be necessary to eConOmize in expendi- lures for other comforts and neces- sites, educational progress should not be curtailed by lack of funds. He said that in general he was satisfied with the modern educational sys- tenn but that one of its greatest faults Is that the children are not being taught to think for themselves The children are not permitted to .taCt in their own way. There
 hould be less curricula and more development of character and abil' ity to think out the issues fol themselves. II the practice Of al. ways harping at the cost of educa. ton is continued it will eat at the roots and destroy it.
 Children and Religion
 The last issue taken up by Dr. Sternheim was that of religion. Here too, there should be a chance for the children to think out the questions for themselves. It is all right for parents 10 tell their children about the happiness which they themselves have enjoyed in following certain be- liefs but they should not tell their children that their religion Is the best and only one. Religion may be tat e children but the chi-

in the institutions direct public re-
lations. This second vault, which is
at the left as viewed from the CEN
trail lobby, contains the safe deposit
boxes, which will be easily accessible
to the leases.
Modern Equipment Throughout
At the left of the passage connect
ing the front office with the Board
room are the little corporation room
and two coupon booths. All of these
are modernly equipped and most
conveniently arranged. The door
and lock equipment is all automatic
and will be under the supervision of
the bank attendants at all times dur
ing business hours.
Continuing on around the banking
room the savings and Christmas
club departments are at the left OF
the entrance lobby. There are four
wickets for the handling of these
departments of the banks business,
and the arrangement balances the
construction on the opposite or north
side, where are located the tellers'
cages.
In the east front corner Is the
office of Guy o. Vickery, vice.
president of the bank, who will de-
vote practically full time and atten-
ton to the institutions business and
public relations. Just off of this at
tractiye office is an enclosed tele-
phone booth with local and long dis
lance connections.
A new heating plant has been In
stalled in the basement, and there
are also located the toilets and lock-
err rooms for the bank personnel.
Two additional vaults are also pro-
vided for storage of valuable docu-
ments and records, under the street
floor level.
Particular attention has been Civ
en- to the lighting system Of the
new banking rooms. The several de-
partments have natural lighting
through fine large windows on three
sides of the State Trust Company
building, and the artificial lights are
all of the multiple control type. The
lights in the lobby proper are all
cluster style with frosted globes in
antique finished ornamental ceiling
fixtures.
Hutchings and French of Boston,
were the architects of the inteHor
and exterior construction. The mas
onry, carpentry and painting was
all done by Charles E. Hoxie, con-
tractor, of Augusta; and the vaults
were installed by the Mosler Safe
Company of Hamilton, Ohio.
Augmented Personnel
with the opening Of the splendid
new banking rooms today, the State
Trust Company will have an aug
mented staff and personnel. George
C. Fernald is the treasurer, George
C. Libby and Thomas H. BODICE, as
sistant treasurers; Mrs. Joseph w.

These details are significant Of the
most modern and approved methods
Of protection which is afforded the
public in the highly efficient Mosler
bank vaults with which the State
Trust Company is equipped. There
are twin vaults, set in heavy con-
crete and steel bases. The doors
which contain the bolt and time
lock mechanisms are made to swing
on crane hinges Of the double goose
neck pattern,-and are sufficiently
strong to support more than double
the weight of the doors. They are
equipped with ball bearings and hori-
zontal and vertical adjustments and
are operated by the double pressure
system.
The boltwork is controlled by the
Mosler arti-concussion, triple move
nent, 70 hour time-lock. And
further controlled by two bronze

locks so that one or both may be re-
quired to unlock the doors. 1t Is
these locks that are capable Of 1o0,-
100000 changes of combinations.
The great doors Of the vaults are
provided with special anti-dynamite
devices which are connected to the
boltwork mechanism for the purpose
Of protecting the locking bolts
against the use of explosives or ex-
ternal violence.
A plate glass door set in a steel
frame covers the boltwork. This
door protects the mechanism, time

The commissioners of Morgan
county have received letter from
g. #. Schleisinger, state highway di-
rector, as follows: GAS you know,
this department changed the loca-
ton Of I. c. H No SIS from its for
mer location to a route along the
Muskingum river. In view OF this
fact We are requesting that the
route which was formerly desig-
mated as I. c. H. No. 345 be inelud-
ed on the county system of roads in
Morgan county. In this connection
we would suggest that county road
No 10 be abandoned in favor Of the
road which was formerly on the ioea-
ton of l. C. H. No. 345." This has
reference to the ZaH HeGvtl,e road. 1t
will be recalled that the improve
ment stopped at the top Of Tunnel
hill, when it was originally planned
to go on down the hill and to the
Muskfngum county line, and the
road up the ridge past Pisgah (NO
10) has been put on the county
system, leaving off entirely what
was originally 345. We understand
that the state highway director has
also made similar request to the
Muskingum county commissioners.
