Reinersville

Reinersville has had the most
rainfall within few days back that
we have had for long time. Most
streams have been out of banks and
plowing and preparing the ground
for spring crops has been halted
The water has risen quite a bit in
wells, in fact more than it has in
the past two years.
Caldwell high school chorus has
made quite a reputation for them
selves during the past year. The
school chorus entered the local con-
test, winning first place and were
able to keep in the game until they
entered the state contest, where
they tied for first place. This is to
settle yet, SO we do not know who
will win first. Willis Beckett has
been music supervisor for Caldwell
schools for the past year, and this
shows his efficiency as an instructor
of music. He is almost a native
son, since his grandparents were

The service was planned for the

Early High Schools

In April, the three hundredth an
niversary of secondary education in
the United States was observed.
The first institution of this kind
was the Boston Public Latin School,
still in existence.
1t is difficult to say just where
the earliest high school in Ohio was
located. In many communities the
high school gradually evolved out
of the public elementary school,
through the addition of advanced
subjects at the top. At the same
time the tendency to classify pupils
into departments" or grades was
under way.
These processes were occurring
1S30's. and in a number of them in
1S40's. When the pupils receiving
advanced instruction had been plac-
ed in a separate room with their
own teacher, the high school, at
least in embryo, had developed.
Cleveland probably had the first
fully organized high school in the
state, in 1916. The High School
of Elyria,' chartered in 1880, is
probably the earliest use of the
name "high school," but it was
privately incorporated institution
not part Of the Elyria public
school system.
In 1886 teachers in Cincinnati's
10 public schools organized an asso-
citation and took up the question of
grading the schools. A committee
reported plan providing for pri-
mary, elementary, and high school
departments. The plan was adopted
the same year. In 1847 the school
board established the Central high
school which took over the advanc-
ed instruction.
Columbus received a new school
charter in 1845. In 1847 pupils
too advanced to profit by the ordi-
nary elementary studies were placed
in a room by themselves for ad-
vanced instruction. Several years
passed before permanent high
school building was erected
In the 1S40's Portsmouth and
Sandusky were adding high school
subjects to their curriculum, thus
laying the foundations for their
high schools.

The capacity audience evidenced

Among those taking part. the two
capable performers, judging from this
effort at least, seem to be Edythe
Corbin, who plays the gay mother who
comes home TO find she can get along
with neither her son, her daughter
nor even the baby, and Mary Archer,
who portrays the daughter, who is on
the point of growing up and who sets
out to save her mother from what she
