has been engaged in welfare work
for some years, and is a social work
. executive of broad experience.
Concerning her recent visit in
Cincinnati, the Enquirer had the
following:
Cincinnati's program of relief
work was complimented highly by
Miss Rose Porter, New York, who
has been loaned by the National As
sociation of Family Welfare
Agencies to the Ohio Welfare De-
partment. In conference with
City Manager Dykstra, Miss Porter
sought suggestions for organizing
relief work in other cities of the
state. She said her study in Gin
cinnati had convinced her that
there was splendid cooperation be-
tween the private agencies and city
and county officials, far more than
in most cities where antagonisn
usually arises to the surface. She
also was pleased with the harmony
in which the Community Chest
agencies and the city and county
officials operated. The Cincinnati
plan of having one director for both
city and county welfare work elm
mated a source of complaint in
many other districts, as it helped to
cut red tape and expedite relief
work, she said The fact that Gin
cinnati is not suffering like other
cities from radical outbursts, indi-
Gates that the city and county are
meeting their problems in a first
class manner, she said.

Schaad, daughter of Mrs. Phila-
mena Schaad, Stockport, to Harold
Albert Offenberger, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Offenberger, of Lowell,
took place at st. James Catholic
church, McConnelsville, Wednesday
morning, Sept. Z, at 9 O'Clock, fol-
lowed by the beautiful nuptial Mass
of the Catholic church. Rev. FIR.
Louis B. Preston, the brides pastor,
performed the marriage rite and
celebrated the Mass. The altar and
sanctuary were artistically and
beautifully adorned for the occasion,
with ferns and flowers of varied hue,
and with the soft light of cleaning
candles in the background. The
bride was attended by her sisters,
Mary Margaret Schaad and Helen
Clara Schaad. The groom had as
attendants his cousins, Albert Fran
els and Ralph Joseph Offenberger
The flower girls were Eloise Schaai,
sister of the bride, and Virginia o.
fenberger, sister of the groom. The
ring bearer was Master Paul Offen-
berger, brother of the groom The
bridal party entered the church to
the strains of the Lohegrin bridal
chorus, by Wagner, played by Miss
Stella Morganstern, church organ
ist. During the beautiful and i'm
pressive marriage ceremony, M.
George Kenney sang the beautiful
hymn to the Blessed Mother, en-
titled "Holy Mary, Mother Mild" ="
The bridal party left the church
while the choir sang another touch
ing hymn dedicated to the Mother
of God, entitled "Mother Dearest,
Mother Fairest'' The hymns were
most appropriate, as the church has
throughout all the ages held the
Blessed Virgin before the world as
the model spouse for all Christian
wives to follow, resting the security
of their welded life upon the life
and virtues of the Mother of God.
The brides dress was of white
satin, with lace and full puff sleeves.

School Row In Supreme Court


The Ohio supreme court was ask
ed Tuesday to decide the contro-
versy over the office of superintend-
ent of the Muskingum county
schools. Charles WestcOtt, Chan
dlersville, and F. D. Ring, Dres-
den, both claim the position. In the
suit filed, Carl Vandenbark asks for
a writ to oust F. c. Whartenby
as a member of the board of educa-
ton. Vandenbark claims that Whar-
tenby has illegally usurped his place
on the board, having been appointed
by the probate court to fill vacancy
which Vandenbark contends did not
exist. Vandenbark, as a member of
the board, voted for Ring for su
perintendent. After Whartenby was
appointed to fill the purported va
cancy, in Vandenbark's place, he
voted for Westcott, at later cleo
ton, it is stated.

DR.. Scott Reaches 92nd Birthday
The Ohio State Journal under
date of Sept. II, contained the FOL-

DIR. Scott Reaches 92nd Birthday
| The Ohio State Journal under
date of Sept. II, contained the fo,-
] lowing:
| Modern youth, SO oft the recip-
lent of caustic criticism, is no worse
| than it's predecessors possibly no
| better, but certainly no worse. That,
| in brief, is the opinion of DIR. viii
liam HI. Scott, third president OF
! Ohio State University, who Wednes-
day will celebrate his 92nd birth
day.
The venerable educator is as ac-
| tive physically and keen mentally
as many men 80 years his junioc.
He takes at least one, and many
times, two walks day, one in the
forenoon and another in the latter
part of the day. He reads con-
sistently and with much enjoyment
daily and weekly newspapers, and
| magazines he pursues diligently,
while he s'always manages to have
a good book under way" A firm
believer that prohibition is a good
thing, he promises to vote in favor
of the eighteenth amendment IL
the chance ever should come, "that
is, unless those opposed to it can
ever convince me that they are
right, which / doubt" he adds by
way of comment. Dr. Scott at
tributes his strong vitality to his
moderate but continuous exercise.
For throughout his entire life he
has followed a physical routine.
Even today in addition to his walks
he INDUCES in mild caIisthenics.
He has never owned or driven an
automobile, simply because I didn't
need it," he says. When he goes
down town he rides the street car.
He attended the recent commence
ment ceremonies at the university
in spite of the heat Although he
doesn't point to it, he sees no rea-
son why he should not live to see
100. He has attended several fooc-
ball games at the stadium and
though processing to enjoy them
he believes the constant practice
required is too much strain for a
student
DR.. Scott's history is typical Of
many other Ohio educators. Born
in Chauncey, Athens county, in
1910, he later moved to McCon-
nelsville, where he spent most e
his early life. He received his A.
B. degree from Ohio University in
1862. He taught school at the Har-
mony Hill school three miles north
of McConnelsville. This was the
usual country school of the one
room type with pupils ranging from
five years old to 20 Among his
pupils was Frank Christy, father of
Howard Christy, the famous artist.
In 1864 he was admitted to the NJ.
E. ministry, and the same year was
principal of the preparatory depart
ment of Ohio State. He accepted
the pastorate of church in Chilli
cothe during 1865. This he held
until 1867, when he came to Co.
lumbus to fill another pulpit. He
became professor of Greek at Ohio
University in 1869. He left there
to become professor Of philosophy
and president of Ohio State Uni
versity in 1873. This position ne
maintained until 1895. He was
made professor emeritus in 1910. He
has spent over Al years between
the two schools. Last March %, he
spoke before the McGuffey Society's
annual banquet. He lives with his
two daughters at 3451 North High
street.
