C ED A R V ILM , OHIO, FR IDAY , APR IL 9, 1915 PRICE. Si.00 A YEAR C U I N Various Reasons Why Cedarville Township SHOULD. TAKE Ad­ vanced Steps in Educational Lines and Raise the Grade of HieSchool. There are 'a number oI reasons why the voters o f the Cedarville School District should endorse the $76*000 bond issue fdr a new build­ ing at the special election Th ursday, April 15. ■> ' ■ Ohio Is taking advanced steps in educational matters and On every hand, in the rural school, town and city schools and colleges, the stand­ ard of education la being raised and the work of education systematized. Many towns and townships haye voted bond issues for improved schools in order that the graduates may enter colleges on their diplomas from first grade schools/ The Board o f Education.after inspecting other modern schools readily sees the difference between the methods em­ ployed hero and elsewhere. To adopt the modern ideas is im­ possible m a structure built more than fifty years ago and only for the needs of that time. To enable our pupils to enter other schools on- an equal, this step is mandatory and the voters on next ‘Thursday are asked not to. furnish ■advantages, over pupils in other districts but to make it possible for home pupils to be pleased on an equal. , A more modern school, can <be ad- . ministered more economically. ■Better ventilation. and sanitary arrangements. Larger classes will be possible with more careful super­ vision. The influence ofsuch.class­ es results in enthusiasm and gener­ ous rivalry. \ A broader companion­ ship comes from such association. The Herald had hoped to have a half-tone illustration of the pro­ posed building for this issue but the plans at this time would not per­ m it such until after publication date, However we Will give a des­ cription o f the structure so that you can have a good idea o f ; what the boahd'tiaa provided. The basement will provide f i r two rooms for domestic science, two rooms for manual training and a gymnasium seating 250 persons. Also a modern heating plant w ill be installed, The first floor w ill Comprise six class rooms; a hospital room and a teacher’ s room. The auditorium will also be on this floor and seat about 460; This room will be used for public entertainments and chapel services. The second floor will consist of two class rooms, a large laboratory, two recitation rooms, a high school room, library and office. Toilets w ill be provided for the upstaire rooms. The entire building equipped with the most sanitary sewerage and plumbing fixtures and placed to conform to the state law. The building as proposed- will be strictly modern and one of which every citizen of the district should be proud. The school children will bo provided with the same modern facilities aa found in the schools in larger cities. 'When the advantages are considered the cost is a mere trifle ahd the bonds will be arranged SO that those who receive the bene­ fits will he called upon to pay their share. Previous to the election folders will bojplaced in the hands of the voters o f the Cedarville Rural School District giving illustrations and description of the new edifice. It might be well to state that the present, school district does not in­ clude ail of the township and only, residents of the district will be able to cast a vote under the law. - It is to he hoped that a full vote be recorded, We have been care­ ful ip sounding public sentiment and state without. hesitancy that the issue will be approved. To show our interest in the most important question that concerns the people, our schools, let the majority be decisive, j MAYOR WOLFORD RESIGNS, | OW ING TO ILL H EA LTH MASONIC* ENTERTAIN.

In early life she united with the Associate Church and afterwards transferred -.her membership .to the Reformed Presbyterian church where, for many years, her Christian Influ­ ence was impressed) on those about her. ■Besides the husband, four children survive: James .Albert, of ‘Sadilda, Colorado; Mrs. William Lackey, of near-Jamestown; John and Ada at home. A sister, Miss Morrow, also survives. The Ross Township, School hoard has selected Edward J. Mount-Stev- ens, of 'Dayton, to prepare plans for the new centralized school.
