pupils enrolled in those 10 dis
tricts, and each has an adequate
tax duplicate behind it. To-day,
there is not a farm boy or girl
who does not have a bus pick
him up at his door, take him to
school, and then return him to
his home in the evening"" Mr..
Bittikofer proudly adds.
Enrolls At Columbia
In 1920, he went to Columbia
university to work on his masters
degree, specializing in rural edu-
cation. While there, his work won
quick recognition and he was e
lected president of the Rural Ed
ucation Association. The follow
ing summer, he was invited to
appear on the National Educa-
ton Association program at Des
Moines, where he spoke on the
community as the basis for a
school unit, rather than adherlng
to township lines.
In 1923, he received his masters
degree at Ohio State university.
While doing his graduate work
there he was elected to member
ship in Phi Delta Kappa, honor
ary education association, and
received a graduate key.
In 1924, Mr.. Bittikofer came to
Marysville as superintendent OF
schools, where he remained until
his resignation in 1899. During this
time, he developed modern
school system with junior and
senior high school plan, and push
ed Marysville ahead until it be-
came recognized throughout the
state as one of the best exempted
village schools.
Mr.. Bittikofer's Town"
He pushed through construction
of the Senior high school build
ing in 1930-'31 and its gymnasium
addition in 1888. 1t was not at al
uncommon for Marysville people
visiting elsewhere to hear, "Of
yes, that's Mr.. Bittikofer's town,
if school man happened to bt
in the crowd.
In 1905, Mr.. Bittikofer was mar
ried to the former Catherin,
Norton, of Sulphur Springs. Their
three children, Justine, Myroi
and Phyllis, were all graduated
from Marysville high school. To
day, Myron is a major in thu
Army engineering corps, station
led in Japan.
Busy as he has been with schoo
work, Mr.. Bittikofer has still
found time to take an active par
in church and community af
fairs. He has served as Sunda.
School superintendent and eide
of The First Presbyterian church
and for the past four years ha
been a member of Marysville vii
lige council. He is a past presiden
of the Marysville Kiwanis clut
Yet with Mr.. Bittikofer's fin
achievements, his high regard il
the community, he is the mos
modest of persons. No one ca
honestly claim that he ever high
hated" them.
In his college work, Mr.. Bitti
kofer majored in PSYCHOLOGY, bu
his teaching fields have alway
been mathematics and the socia
sciences.
Still Looks To Future

it is alleged, but the latter was
still able to quickly dispose of
both Potts and his step-son. Potts
was administered such a terrific
beating that it was necessary to
give him medical attention before
taking him to the Union county
Jail.

sistance was demonstrated by
rank and file members of sew

door demonstrations.
Two thousand fur and leather
workers gathered Monday in the
shadows of the tanneries, at Ell
ston and Division, in a stoppage
meeting to hear their regional
director, Abe Feinglass, and other
CLIO and telephone union leaders
sound the alarm.
SIMILAR demonstrations were
reported this week in Rockford
and in the Quad Cities regions,
where downstate unionists Joined
the campaign.
Biggest demonstration to date
has been the statewide stoppage

AFI, CLIO, and independent union
members stopped work all day in
protest against a proposed state
law outlawing the closed shop
10000 of them gathered in Des
