The A STORY
IS ,, Bristol Township Folk
- u Al4gILO] By C. B

We note by the Rowland items in
ers up there are cutting logs for
saw set, which calls to mind some Of
the sets in our boyhood. In those
days the logs as we'll as the sets
were much larger than now. Then
1t took months to saw set, with
four and FIVE men working on the
around here, two men did the work,
With a tractor to furnish power the
fireman was dispensed with, and the
sawyer did the trigger settlers work.
In our boyhood we often heard the
remark that the timber would soon
all be gone, and now at this time
there are still quite good many
good trees standing, but no big
woods as there were at that time.
While the owners are lucky to have
the timber, it is a question whether
it has paid to let the timber stand,
or TO have sold it and let the land go
to grass. We perhaps should tell
some of our readers that when the
timber is cleared from Bristol town
ship land, it soon has sod~of blue
grass.
Boat gunnels and walnut logs
were foated down the creeks to the
Muskingum river, where the former
were built into flat boats, and the
walnut RATED and taken to market.
Horace Greeley advised young
men to go west, but We wonder
what he would advise were he here
at this time Perhaps Horace did
not know about Bristol township.
Perhaps no place in the world are
there more different kiuds of soils
than here. Some day Eddie Walk
er's work in gathering clays and
having them tested will bear fruit.
clay deposits manufactured into
some of the finest ware known to
the world And right here we would
like to suggest that if the folks who
have money would listen to Mr..
Walker, not only the unemployment
question here would be solved, but
paying industry carried on. At any
rate Morgan countians should get
behind Mr. Walker and boost the
business AS the Snrino time an
proaches, we think of moving time
and public sales. "The highest re-
sponsible bidder, the buyer" The
sale crer then, auctioneer now
In the early days sale criers took
up the business and each had way
of his own They cried a sale and
went back to their farm work to
wait another call Today we have
schools to train auctioneers While
seme we know have other business
at which they work between sales,
some of the big boys do nothing
else In community like ours we
have fewer sales than some neigh
borhoods have Perhaps this is on
account of the fact that a big per-
cent of the folks own their homes.

ings, of the Baptist church which
stood near the junction, or rather

Finding The Stars

The story has been told Of two
venturesome prospectors who were
making their way across one Of the
great deserts. They had never been
that way before, but in their note
books they had very minute notes
which gave information about the
way. Every landmark had been
shown in detail. One night they

OOuG preachers, perhaps We ohOuiu
say all preachers, tell us how to
stick to the straight and narrow
path, but at this time our mind goes
back to the time when in the rainy
season of the year, from the village
to the Meigs church was a very
muddy road We believe it was Rev.
Lewis who was holding a protracted
meeting at the church, got the men
of the neighborhood interested. and
built flag stone walk through the
village and over to the corner of the
cemetery. Later this walk was ex-
tended up along the side of the GEM
etery to the church lot. When the
highway was improved, this walk
was torn up, and now only the part
along the cemetery is left The in
habitants of the village were very
proud of the walk. Sometimes when
the road was bad, some horse back
rider was fndiscreet and rode the
walk. If any resident caught them
in the act, charges were preferred
and they were arrested and taken
before the magistrate who imposed
a fine and costs. When the road
was built, it was found the street
was none too wide with the walk
taken into the road. When the road
is widened and concreted-we will
let the engineers do that.
AS we have travelled over the
township we have noticed<an Won
dered about the irregular lines
which divide the farms. As We have
told you, Bristol township is six
miles square, SO sections, $40 acres
to the section. When the land was
bought from the government it was
takes in go and so acre blocks, and
from that time on it seems selling
and trading has been going on. The
creeks cut off a piece from tract
on the other side, then the owner
sold or traded it to the folks 1t
Joined We also find the roads did
the same thing. We do not have d
farm map at hand. but believe we
are right when we say that there is
not a section line that can be traced
by the farm lines through the town
ship.
Perhaps it is the fact we were a
part of the old class that gathered
at the old Meigs school in the win
ter of '84-'85, with l.. B. Strong
teacher, and due to the fact that
the friendship formed during that
winter lasted through the life of our
teacher-not only lasted, but was
enlarged as the years went on. Lew
was not only our teacher through
the few months of that term, but
through all the intervening years.
We never met him but what he told
us something that helped us. Lewis

ship, but came to Bristol with his
fathers family, where he spent some
ten years. 1t was while resident
of the township he was married to
Florence R. Mercer. daughter Of
Rev. William, and Nancy Gray Mer-
GER, a Bristol girl. AS We remem-
ber, the house on the hill. owned by
J. J. Evans, was built for Lew and
Flo, and it was here they went to
housekeeping; and it was at that
place they were living when the

ber, he taught here at two different
times-that is he taught one winter,

The crusades brought about con-
tact between Christian and Moslem
learning, and increasing social wealth
gave men both the leisure and the
means to cultivate their minds
The fall of Constantinople, 1883, sent
an army of scholars flying westward,
and their influence stimulated another
vast revival of concern for learning.
Out Of that interest came the Renais-
sance and the Reformation.
AS early as the middle of the four
teenth century secondary schools be-
gan to spring up in the wake of the
universities. William Of Wykeham es-
tablished his college at Winchester in
1870; Henry vi founded Eton College
in l443; Elizabeth set up many schools,
including Westminster in 1860; Law
renee Sheriff created Rugby in 1867,
and John Lyon brought Harrow into
existence in 1871.
The first Protestant charity schools
were opened about 1887. and Joseph
Lancaster. the Quaker, began to teach
the children of the poor in 1896.
Education Crosses Atlantic.

America with the first settlers Of the
Atlantic seaboard. Harvard was
founded in 1888, William and Mary

have been submitted to the public
works administrator. Provisions for
education will probably be involved in
the program for establishing subsist-
ence farm communities which are pre-
vided for in the act governing the Pub
lie Works Administration.
The new Federal employment pro-
gram authorized by the Wagner bill
and the Citizens Conservation Corps
activities have implications for educa-
ton which will probably become more
and more apparent.
The Federal Once Of Education IS
keeping in close touch with all Gov
eminent agencies, new and old, whose
operations touch the manifold activi-
ties of American education. One major
function Of this Office Is to be the
liaison agency between the Federal
Government and the Nations wide
spread educational system with its 30,-
00O, 900 pupils and 100000 teachers.
On September IS and Is, the State
and commissioners OF
education will meet at the Office OF
education in the Department OF In
terror. They will bring last minute re-
ports Of conditions confronting schools
as they open for the school year. With
them will meet representatives OF Fed
eral agencies to outline some Of the
new Federal programs which will affect
the schools.
Within the last few years new IDEAS
of education have taken root in ou-
schools. Children are no longer taught,
in the old sense Of the word. They CO.
operate in attacking learning problems.
Teachers assist them as they work In
and happily together IN
tasks of learning Therefore. as the
United States embarks on the adven-
ture of conducting a Nations life
through cooperative action, it will
find that its schools are no laggards
in building citizens trained end capable

Universities Have Art Courses.

In addition to the foregoing, there are
courses of art leading to degrees at sew
eral Washington universities. George
Washington Universitys Department Of
Architecture was founded IN 1884. It
is now under direction OF Norris I.
Crandall, assisted by eight instructors.
Courses of four, five and six years lead
to degrees of A. B., B. Arch. and M. F..
A., respectively. There are similar ar
rangements for the study of building
and building administration, and for
other art subjects, history and appre-
ciation, and Illustration.
American University has depart
ment of art in charge of Will Hutchins.
pz.nter, writer and lecturer on art, who
has one assistant Prof. Hutchins Is
said to be the only educator in Wash
ingtpn teaching the aesthetics Of art
His courses in the history, theory and
philosophy of art carry credits which
count toward the masters degree.
The art department at Howard Uni
versity Is in charge Of James v. Herring,
assisted by five instructors, in painting,
design and public school art. Enroll
ment last year was PIG. nearly three
times that of the previous year.
While it will be seen that majority
of the schools mentioned above aim to
prepare students for professional careers,
they would be of value not always COM
prehended. for persons who do not in
tend to make art vocation, but who
might undertake the study to develop
appreciation, and as recreation. Art
schools are well adapted to train patrons
of art as well as artists, and the de-
velopment of appreciation is nearly If
not equally as important, since the
artists must depend for their subsistence
upon the educated tastes OF their lay
contemporaries.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I am to be married very soon
and I would like to know the
following.
The wedding is to take place
about four-thirty o'clock. The
boys are wearing tuxedo suits.
Whis is the proper tie to wear,
black bow tie Or a white one?
If neither is correct, please sug.
gest what would be the correct
style of tie to wear.
Does the groom stand to the
right of the bride at the altar?
/. It can in no sense be con.
Sidered correct for the men to
wear tuxedo suits at an after
noon wedding. Tuxedo suits
are evening attire. informal at
tire. And a black bow tie is
the only tie that is ever cor
rect with a tuxedo suit. White
bow ties are for formal even
ing attire, with tail coats"
For the formal afternoon
wedding, the correct attire Is
the cutaway coat and striped
trousers. Informally the men
wear dark, usually dark blue,
business suits.
2. Yes.
