lying in her automobile, her head

Grifnth's wife was committed to an

the State Welfare Board sought to
commit four of Griffith's five un-
married children to a home, but the
petition was denied.
Mr.. Ridgely said Griffith told this
story:
Miss Reinecke went to the Griffith
home yesterday to investigate con-
ditions and after talking to Griffith
told him she was going to take
the children away on Monday. The
farmer argued that the court case
was closed and she had no right to
take them.
Griffith then seized his single
barrel shotgun and as Miss Reinecke
fed and jumped into her car Griffith
fired through the windshield, striking
her in the head Then he walked
around to the open door and fired
again.

The idea of a boy school choir
was conceived by Herbert Huffman,
musical director of the school, who
for several years had been minister
of music in a Columbus church.
Founded on Faith.
When the school opened its doors
in September, 1910, it's chief assets
were Huffman's faith and the enthu-
siasm of Harry c. Marshall, head
master.
Although books, blackbOards
and teachers salaries were
among the missing items, the
lack of these usual essentials in
the school was a minor factor.
The men and boys worked to-
gether for the development of
their ideal until their own en-
thusiasm began to pay divi-
dendS.
In launching the unique education
al project, the founders termed it a
'venture into choral training using
music as the means, not the end
. motivation, not a goal" The d.
rectors decided that choral train
ing held untold possibilities for the
educational and moral development
of each boy.
Actually, the choir had existed
two years prior to founding of the
school. The boys had rehearsed
after their own schools let out, but
time did not permit sufficient
personal contact between teacher
and boys.
Form Unique School.
The solution was the Columbus
Boychoir School of four grades,
using the standard scholastic cur
riculum with emphasis placed on

choral training. Admission to the
school-then and now-had two
requisites, musical aptitude and the
possibility of good voice. Forty
eight boys attended the opening ses-
sion, the enrolment increasing con-
sistently to reach the present total
of 81.
A non-profit, interdenominational
institution, the school relies on re-
turns from its own concerts and
public subscriptions for support.
Although the teachers in the ear
ly days of the struggling school
were given no assurance of a salary,
they came anyway as result of
their faith in the genius of Huffman
and the conviction that their ideal
eventually would be realized.
Make Town Hall Debut.
In the third year of it's existence,
the unique, tuition-free organization
got its long-awaited opportunity.

the National Concerts and Artists
corporation, attended rehearsal of
the Boychoir IN Columbus Capt.
waited by the group, he advised a
Town Hall debut in New York. Ig-
noring the financial drain, the choir
went to New York to score it's first
outstanding success. Reviewers
were lavish in their praise.
Only disappointment following the
Town Hall debut was that the
anticipated request from N.C.AC.
to manage the Boychoir failed to
materialize. Now, however, the
N.C.A.C. has full management of
the choir's affairs.
