Executive Dies
After Operation

NEW YORK, June b Julius
Kruttschnitt, retired chairman of
the executive committee of the.
Southern Pacific lines and one of
the outstanding figures of the rail
road world, died suddenly at 3 Il. M.
here today.
Kruttschnitt underwent minor
operation at the Presbyterian hos
pital here week ago and was re-
covering satisfactorily when heart
complications developed last night
and death followed
Kruttschnitt had been chairman
of the executive committee of the
Southern Pacific lines since 1912
and had been connected with that
railroad for 4S years-30 years of
which time was spent in the oper-
ating department.. Had he lived he
would have celebrated his list birth
day next month.
Kruttschnitt became associated
with the late Z. H. Hartman about
% years ago and since that time
had been regarded as one of the
foremost railroad operating officials
in the traffic world.
When Hartman completed organ
ization of his rail empire in 1910 he
named board of managers, unique
in the traffic industry and Krutt-
schnitt was given the post of direc
| tor of maintenance and operation.
! His task was a hard one because
Hartman had an obsession that his
road should be operated more eff
/ cientlv than any other. 1t is indica-
tive of how kruttschnitt fulfilled
the task that the Hartman lines
took first place in loads of freight
per ear and ears per train. Also
revenues We're so increased and cost
of operation so reduced that none
of the Hartman lines ever has been
forced to reduce II once established
dividend rate.
krut tschnitt also made a record in
accident prevention and industrial
hygiene affecting the public and en-
ployes which won him gold medal
for leadership in this line among rail
executives.
PASADENA. Cal. June. 15.-Jul-
ius Kru;tschmitt, railroad magnate
who died today in New York, was
recently elected to the board of di-
rectors of California Institute of
Technology here.
Officials of the school wired 4
message of sympathy to surviving
relatives, and paid high tribute to
the railroad leaders S career.
Kruttschnitt, before his sudden
illness, was making plans to come
10 Pasadena soon to establish Il
residence.

| in the state. In Morgan county the
average daily attendance Is $3.50 oi
the enumeration. Note that these
percentages are based on the enum
Grafton, not on the enrolment.
In Ohio the high school enroll
ment is equal to 1920 of the total
enrolment. In Morgan county the
high school enrolment is equal to
1897 Of the total enrolment.
In Ohio the number of students
taking normal training courses is
22.5% of the number of teaching
positions. In Morgan county the
number of students taking the nor
NAL training course is 25% of the
number of teaching positions.
The average annual cost of the
schools of Ohio per child enumer-
ated is s84,20. while the average an
nual cost of the schools of Morgan
county per child enumerated is only
$73.S1.
1t is apparent that the schools of
Morgan county compare very ia
vorably with the average for the
state on these important points,
ranking ahead on every one.
The high school enrolment in
Morgan county has increased from
234 in 1914 when the present school
law went into operation, to 591 this
year. There are now nine chartered
high schools in Morgan county, sew
en- of these being first grade schools
offering four year courses of study.
Each of the first grade schools Of
fers course in home economics for
the girls, and a course in agriculture
for the boys. Malta-McConnelsville,
Stockport, and Pennsville have vo-
cational agriculture departments OPP
Grated in accordance with the
Smith Hughes law. Besides these
schools we have three unchartered
schools in which high school work
is being offered. That the high
schools are within reach of the pu-
pills is shown by the fact that about
9Ogo, of the pupils who graduated
from the eighth grade last spring
are now eArOlleu lH IHc Ai5H oShoois'

Now, fellow voters, do you think
it wise to change the educational
policies of Morgan county at this
time? Do you think it wise to pu'
men on the county board of educa-
ton whose policies are unknown or
INFESTED? Don't you believe we bet
ter continue the present administra-

has attained her high educational

FqREsTOgE BALLOONS

\ That Firestone fulI-size gum-dip-
ed balloons are favored by large
4 majority of car manufacturers Is
I hown by figures today by Vanfos-
en & Price, McConnelsville Fire
! tone dealers.
Forty-two of the 81 standard
| make automobiles have Firestone
balloons either as standard or OPP
tional equipment. This is one-third
more than are equipped with any
other one make of tires, the figures
| show.
Commenting on these figures.
Vanfossen e Price said: .They are
proof in themselves that Firestone
balloons are the recognized standard
of low pressure tire equipment. Not
only do the majority of automobile
manufacturers recognize the wide
spread popularity of Firestone bal
looms, but they conceded to. them,
after the most rigid tests. the unex-
celled qualities which make for this
popularity.
Never in the history of the auto
mobile and tire industries has such
prompt and general approval been
given to any motoring development.
1t is now three years since Firestone
developed the first ful1-size low pres
sure tire. Today hundreds of thous-
ands of motorists are riding on
them.
Automobile manufacturers were
quick to see the advantages of Fire
stone balloons and to sense what
they meant in the wider and more
enjoyable use Of the automobile.
They recognized that Firestone bal
looms constituted the greatest sim
gle factor towards the idea of luxur-
ious motoring comfort, and with
their safety and economy provided
combination that was bound to meet
with favor by the motoring public"

THE SCHOOL QUESTION

This year brings with it another
election of members of the county
board of education. Three members
are to be elected, and 1t is just as
important that the right kind of men
be chosen as it was two years ago.
The schools are too important an
institution to permit them to be
used for the purpose of gratifying
the desire of any man, or group of
men, for personal revenge. In con-
sidering this question, petty
grievances should be put aside, and
we should look at the matter from
an impersonal standpoint, consider
ing only the welfare of the schools
of the county. The future welfare
of the child is dependent largely rp-
on the educational advantages
which we give him now. His who.e
life will be shaped in large measure
