p. T. A. Meeting

The p. T. A. met Monday even
ing in the high school auditor
ium with a large attendance of peo-
ple interested in the welfare of our
community and schools.
Hon. Chas. B. Smith made a talk,
in which he said the future of our
country depends upon our boys and
girls, and we must see that they
have the proper facilities that will
make for culture, refinement and
good citizenship Supt. James M.
Turner explained fully the existing
conditions of the high school, and
brought out the facts as noted else
where in this issue. All these
things can be accomplished by
voting for the bond issue which
will increase the tax rate only 1.3
mills or $1.30 per $1,000 valua-
ton. This will give the M. e M.
school district total school tax
much less than any of our neigh
boring cities and communities. The
p. r. A. voted unanimously to sup
port this needed and worthy cause.
Mr.. Reese, state high school in
spector, was present and gave
most instructive talk on citizenship
In his preliminary remarks, he
spoke of the crowded conditions in
our present school building, and the
increasingly urgent need for addi-
tional room. From a practical busi-
ness standpoint he stressed build
ing while federal aid may be OBJ
tanned, since this is the only year
in which such aid will be given.
Education" said the speaker,
''is the only thing that can save
democracy Some interesting and
significant statistics from the office
of the state auditor were given to
show Ohio's emphasis on education.
from a financial standpoint, as COM
pared with her interest, as shown
by expenditures on luxuries and
recreation: 100000 on theatres
as compared with $100,00O,000 on
education; $4O,000,000 on candy;
$5,0O0,000 on chewing gum (one-
twentieth of that spent on educa-
tion); $27,000,000 on furs; S6,-
100000 on athletic and boarding
clubs; $2,OO0,000 on snuff; $4,-
100000 on firearms and shells. Last
year in United States one cent was
spent on education as compared
with five cents on crime. The speak
er mentioned the home, school and
church as the outstanding agencies
in the training for good citizenship.

Fine Audience In Attendance
At Dry Rally Here

A fine, representative, audience
! of Morgan county temperance peo-
pie gathered at the dry rally at the
local Methodist Episcopal church
last Thursday evening. The meet
ing was presided over by Rev. T. E.
Leonard Of the Presbyterian church,
PRESIDENT of the local ministerial
association; other ministers being
present, and having some part in the
service. Musical numbers for the oc-
casion included splendid anthem
by the Methodist Episcopal church
choir.
The first speaker of the evening
was Rev. Yeisley, Methodist min
lister from Baltimore, O., represent
ing the United Christian Forces of
Ohio, who gave a very earnest and
appealing address, and dwelt upon
the lamentable conditions that will
amendment to the constitution of
the United States is repealed, and
when and if the existing prohibition
laws in the state of Ohio are an
nulled
Hon c. Ellis Moore of Cambridge,
former United States congressman,
was the other speaker, and brought
a forceful message. He is and has
been an outstanding dry advocate.
He maintains his position with ref
erence to the Eighteenth amend
ment, that with any imperfections
its enemies may charge it with, it
is by far the best regulatory mea-
sure that has ever existed, or will
exist. for the control of the liquor
traffic-a business that is Inherent
ly wrong.
The fact was brought out in
the course of the meeting that the
mass of the people in the United
States are not wet, but that the
"wet victories" in the states that
have voted are so simply because
ma iority of the minority of the peO
pie have voted wet-in other words,
that out of total in round num-
bers of IS million voters in those
states only total in round numbers
of Is million people have voted on
this important question.
The statement was made that
since the day the Eighteenth amend
ment went into effect, up to the
present time, there has existed an
organized, we'll financed and con-
stant effort, by the vets, to dis
credit it, and lead to it's ultimate
annulment.
The speakers stated that they be-
lieve that if at the coming election,
all the people of Ohio realize their
responsibility, and get out and vote,
end not just minority of the peo-
pie as have voted in other states,
Ohio will go on record as for pro-
hibition, both in the state and ma
ton, and for the retention of the
Eighteenth amendment and of the
laws which make for its enforce
ment.
