A Correction
We are in receipt of a letter from
Chas. E. Van Fossen of Pennsville,
in which he gives an explanation to
the clause we quoted from him in
our article recently on Fort Frye.
We misinterpreted Mr.. Van Fossen's
meaning. He agrees that all things
of historical value be searched out
and preserved that the present, and
future generations, may know what
our forefathers endured to gain
that which we enjoy today Even
had Mr.. Van Fossen meant it the
way we interpreted it, we would
have been just as charitable toward
him. Men as prominent as Henry
Ford have made errors along that
same line.-Silas Thorla.

Last week the class of "a pre-.
sented the M. & M. high school with
a Seth Thomas, 18 inch, electric
clock. The members of the faculty
and the high school as whole, wish
to express their sincere appreciation
for this appropriate and useful gift.
This gift, as it ticks off the years,
will always be reminder of the
happy friendships that were formed
during the years they spent here.
Even though the members of the
class are widely scattered, their
thoughts still return to their Alma
Mater.
At the meeting of the Ohio Edu.
cation Association at Columbus, a
bill was discussed that will be of
much interest to the teachers. This
bill would change the constitution
of Ohio to provide for a state board
of education. The period of SER
vice would be long enough to make
the board non-partisan.
On January "a, Mr. Carl Burns,
field secretary for the Ohio Educa-
ton association, will come to the
high school for conference with
the entire teaching force. The pur-
pose of this conference is to ac
quaint the teachers with the work
of the association.

Hoy first read several verses of

that robbers and other people OF

The speaker of the morning said
he wondered just how many differ"

does refer not only to intoxicating
liquors, but also to sleeping, eating,
