Wfe*t took pigs* and a ll that waa gatd a t the Gweae county Teachers’ Institute, in session a t the McKinUty building, to Xenia, Monday, probably would n ot look well in print, not Would it le a v e 'th e patrons o f the schools in this county, in good humpr. Since the inauguration o f the coun­ ty superintendent plan the teachers claim they have practically no voice in the selection o f their program or the management o f their affairs. The president, L . D , Parker, pf this place, as well as other officers were but mere figure-heads. The -teachers allege that County Superintendent F . M, ' Reynolds' has assumed control and goverened thejmanagement o f the'in ­ stitute much a fter the fashion o f gov- - emmehtal affairs- in Germany, where one man represents the government. Supt, John R . Patterson, o f the .Xenia schools, P rof, Ralph Wead, the Republican nominee fo r county audit­ or, and one or two others’ took the floor in the fight and when the smoke o f the battle had cleared found them­ selves the victors, having mowed down the Kaiser crowd ju st-lik e Pershing and the A llies are landing on the Huns over in F ran ce,' ^ The trouble has been browing fo r several months and it is "said that Supt. Patterson o f the Xenia schools had 4notified, his teachers that Unless there whs a change it Would not foe necessary fo r them to attend institute and that the- teachers should with­ draw. Aa here axe 62 teachers in Xenia,city, this m ad^ft good showing fo r the firat'line defence and soon the rural teachers, under -the direction o f one o f the,ablest .school men in the county, P ro f. Wead, threw their strength behind the Xenia movement, The debate Waxed hoV .and lit is said, that when P rof. JVead fired a mustard gas bomb the county super­ intendent went down and out. A state J school examiner was present and went to Reynold's defence, but “Kaiser-ism" was to be downed and the •members voted to restore the management o f th e institute to an executive commit­ tee to be chosen among the members themselves.' The -m otion .was made by P rof. :Wead arid seconded by B ; C . Donohoo, principal o f the McKinley high school.. On roll call but fo u r votes were re­ corded fe r continuation o f one man - o . •power.. ThC ttacherS stood almost a s d tinft in breaking down the lron-hand rule.. ■ The resolution, as adopted, provides fo r an executive committee o f four, t » h e composed o f the county super­ intenden t,-a representative o f the Xcni* city school, the townttship and village schools' all to be elected by members o i the institute. The Patterson j> ]in . as acopted seems fair to 'all interests, , " The scramble M on daya fternoon gave a good opportunity o f settling old scores and Judging from the vote evidently a large part o f the mem­ bership took a fling a t thei County superintendent. There is more back o f the fight than m erely the manage- .m ent o f th'institute, but the time was opportune .to bring it- to the surface in another ftffm . A number o f allegations have been made'under cover against Supt." Rey­ nolds and his management o f the county schools and the reports o f this nature come from ' most every town­ ship in the county. The teachers say th ey dare n ot come Into the op e iffox fea r o f being blacklisted. Under the law the county superintendent has great power in granting certificates, Locally i t is known that Supt. Rey-. nolds endeavored to have seniors pas­ sed that failed in examinations, but did not succeed in the attempt when the'm atter came before the hoard. W ith the fea r o f the power -of the county superintendent the teachers have waited quietly fo r the first op­ portunity to express their sentiment*, even though it was in a round about way. W AR BOARD CUTS PRODUC­ TION OF AUTOMOBILES ' Manufacturers o f passenger auto­ mobiles and repair parts-have agreed with the war hoard to lim it their pro­ duction fo r the remainder o f the year to 26 per cent, o f the output fo r last year.

According to a news note in a mar­ ket bulletin we read that by a joint vote o f the advisory committee from the Department o f Agriculture and the Food Administration, the.price o f wheat fo r "1919 Was fixed a t $246, O f' course this is. subject to change bu t n s the time fo r seeding is near at hand farmers should have some assurance •us to the minimum price fo r the next ’crop . ' Farmers that put their wheat in the bam are loosing no time getting it threshed. Never before have we had so much bam threshing in August. A s the price is fixed farmers are just as well off to have the money as the chance o f loss by fire in the mow. A s a result all the.,elevators in the country, interior, and export are filled. It has been proposed to allow farmers a cent er two additional fo r storage and this would hold some o f the wheat back. . H . M .

MILITARY TRAINING AT CEDAKVILLB Military Training At Cedarville Col­ lege Has Beta Applied Fer—Pree- pects o t Obtaining It A re Good. One o f the m ost important an­ nouncements Issued b y the War De­ partment has to do with th* Stu­ dent's Army Training Corps- Mem­ bers o f the S. A , T , C. are to he able-bodied college student* not under 18 years o f age,, who are enlisted as privates in this newly-created corps o f the United. States Army. They take along with tlleiis educational training such' m ilitary training as the War Department stipulates. This m ilitary training w ill be given by competent officers and non-com­ missioned officers appointed by the War'Department. .The War Department's announce­ ment o f July 10, 19i8,||rery- dearly expresses the vital significance p f the S. A . T., C., as the follow ing extracts show : »-r . ’ “ The purpose o f the plan is to pro­ vide fo r the very important needs o f the Army fo r highly,trained men as officers, engineers, doctors, chemists and administrators o f every kind. The importance o f this need cannot he too strongly emphasized. “Th is-is a war in which soldiers are not only marksmen, but a lso'en - gineers, chemists, physicians', geolog­ ists, doctors and specialists in many' other lines. Scientific training is in­ dispensable. i , “ The scientific training which pre- ares a man to fu lfill one p f "these ighly specialized duties and the more liberal training which helps to de­ velop the qualities o f leadership need­ ed b y the officer or administrator are essential elements o f m ilitary effic­ iency,” A The average young man asks, quite naturally! “ What do I get out o f the- ,S. A . T . C., and do t help the nation ia the'hest possible way by joining it? ” In a word here is the answer: . A ’ student enlisted to the .Student's 'Am y Training Corps ism the military service o f the United States; La u national emergency the President may call him a t any time to active service. As a m a tter.of fact, as has' already been fehown.work done, in the-labora-, tory class-room is just as much active service as the m ilitary drill .o f -the camp. His relation to the draft is as fol-*' lows: s' - A lly sfcudeht so enlisted, though in the military Service.of the United States, is technically on inactive duty. The D raft Board w ill not call him fo r induction so long as he remains a hrem her'ofthe S tuden t'sA rm yT tein - ing Corps- 1 Opportunity w ill be given fo r the enlisted student, Who so elects, to-, transfer from Army to Navy, and vice versa, and to be assigned to active ser­ vice in one o f the varioUB corps o f the Army upon recommendation o f the college president and the proper mili­ tary authority. Regular uniforms, including hats, shoes and overcoats, will be furnish­ ed a ll members o f the Students* Army Training Corps by the Government, The S. A . T . C. is almost as quick a road to actual fighting as enlistment - in the Regular Army, fo r in neither case could the young man o f 18 o r. 20 expect to be sent to France until after a lengthy period o f training. How much bettor fo r a young man to get the m ilitary drill and training that w ill fit him fo r active service and at the same time acquire the'education that will fit him to perform his part in the tremendous work o f national re­ adjustment that w ill com# w ith peace. Enter college at home and get your military training.
