mmm THE CEDARVILLE HERALD - .i<n>y j;:r - u-a KAXEft BULL EDITOR AND PUBLISHER Watered at the Po«t Office, Cedarvilie, Ohio, October SI, 1987, m fe c o ttd clax* M atter* ~ TODAY , MAY 10, 1029 WE ARE ONE STEP IN ADVANCE Council ha« taken the initiative on the question of a water* works system for the town hut with the approval of many who wish to see this subject thoroughly investigated* There is no question but what we need waterworks if for no other purpose than a reduction in insurance rates. There are many other reasons why we should he progressive apd keep pace with other towns o f this size. The town is under great obligations to our manufacturing institutions, that are giving labor to many men, that their insurance rates might be lowered. In addition the college is greatly under insured due to the fac t that the rates are prohibative, We are informed that not a one of the three leading churches are insured for anything like what they should be for the same reason. To rebuild either at pre­ sent dayacosts without insurance protection in case o f fire would almost equal the cost pf the water system. Lower insurance rates to home owners are just as vital as to manufacturing -plants, churches or educational institutions. ' - . While there is the economic side we must also consider the health of the community. The modern home is not complete Without a sufficient water supply. Sanitary conditions demand an adequate water supply from sources where there can be no contamination. Seventy-five per cent of the wells in town are now subject to exposure from Cess pools. The continued in­ stallation of modern bath room fixtures will only add additional wells to exposure, ’ It ha s been proven by experience the past few years that many students, especially girls, have been kept out of Cedar* ville College due to the fact that no dormitory with modern facilities is available and that rooms in homes in most instances have not the modern bathroom. As we see it the town is loosing financially anyway we take it by not having a water system. In an editorial last December the Herald called attention "to future development of the town and w e suggested that a plan for advancement be adopted after fu ll consideration and then work that plan for 1929. The first step has been taken in this respect., There are certain things the village authorities can do. There are still greater, powers firthe hands 1 of'the States Board of Health and the Ohio Rate Inspection Bureau that makes all the insurance rates. We believe that a great majority of our citizens favor waterworks. There is no need of wild guessing or promises on the part o f anyone. We must await the survey and the estimates that w ill be compiled by a competent engin­ eer. When these are submitted then w ill come the time for representatives /of the State Board of Health, Ohio Rate Inspec­ tion Bureau, Council and citizens to-gather on common ground and thoroughly investigate the proposition. Nothing will be gained without co-operation of these forces for the reason that more power lies in ti e hands of these boards than with any authority locally. r THE BENDER PLAN CREATES DISCUSSION In some quarters there is fear that the Bender idea for adopting federal plan for representatives in the Ohio Senate and Hduse o f Representatives might be approved by th e (public should the necessary ten per. cent of signatures to the initiated petition be secured .- From our view point we have not much fear that the petitions'will even get the required signatures Senator Bender comes from Cleveland and it has been con­ tended fo r .some time,that the more populous counties ‘did not have a fa ir representation according to population. Representa­ tive Sullivan of Union county has taken,the opposite .view from Bender and th e two are speaking in various places on the pro­ position wd fear more tp advertise themselves as governatorial prospects in the future than for the good of the cause each is trying to-represent, ' . , , In case the required signatures are secured the direct Cause can be attributed to part of the work or the last general as­ sembly, regardless of the fac t that it has advertised itself as . the “best yet.” The cry that the rural counties are to be denied just representation under the proposed plan will not hold good in many quarters. The rural representatives in the legislature have no record of worthy mention that they performed any out­ standing act that would warrant the rural people is holding on to the present plan. A prominent farmer stated just a few days ago that he could hot see how the rural counties would be any the worse off. I f the rural element had not better representation than at pre sent it might expect the same attitude even though .the Bender plan was to win out. He cited the example how rura representatives had already permitted the office o f township trustee to be sheared if its authority and power until it was o f little consequence, today. H e went farther and recalled that much authority had been taken from village^councils in many matters that affected the people and over which such boards once had control and that this control was taken away because the public utility companies could not dominate the member­ ship. Our farmer friend even went farther and stated that honest and upright men serving as trustees had been pictured before the legislature as o f low type mentally because they came from the farms and were closest to the farm element, yet the greatest majority of the county commissioners in the rural .counties came from the same element. How could one be so far advanced and the other so incompetant to represent the rural people?- I t makes no difference what the politicians try to make the rural element believe the last gas tax is not setting well with the farmers any more than with the city people. Once the farmers know the real inside of the trick turned jm them the more disgusted they become and we are not so sure the farm element can be held strictly in'line once the Bender proposal is before them. Should Bender's idea win G-reene county would not be entitled to a representative and this We do not want to see. The backfire comes over what has been done by the legis­ lature itse lf and the rural public now faces the task of stepping up and untangling the wreckage. »wnii» wi nuiwmi—iiwuw Local School Granted . New Charter The Cedarvilie Public School* have recently made another step forward in educational progress. Upon appli­ cation of the Board of Education and the Superintendent, the State Depart­ ment by the authority o f Dr. John L, ’ Clifton, Drector of Education, granted a new Six-Year High School Charter, which was presented by County Supemtendent H. C. Aultman, during the "Go-To-School-Nito” program, last Friday Owning. „ This arrangement 'adds two more teachers to the High School Staff, but doe* not increase- the -total number. This means thaty the -seventh and eighth grades, hereafter, wifi be in­ cluded in the regular High School Course of Study. » This procedure is in accordance with the latest educational ideas in school .organisation. In this way the entire school is divided into two equal parts, that is six elementary grades and six in the High School, One of the outstanding advantages of this type is that it provides for De­ partmentalized instruction. This re­ sults in more .systematic as well as more efficient teaching. Each teacher Will have sufficient class-work to teach in his or her particular held of spe­ cialization and not have to handle other classes/ The fact that, this is the only High School in the Greene County System tha t is a meniber of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools in addition'-to possessing the new Six-Year charter seems to be/ sufficient evidence tha t our local schools are making every effort! to maintain a high standard of.scholar- ship and consequent progress n mod­ ern educational methods.

A, WALKER A PAINTER’S CONSCIENCE I T WAS said of William Strang, the famous portrait painter who died some time ago, that be icever*fi09$4 escape from his conscience. This was not a handicap when he had for a sitter some American or English beauty, who could stand the realistic treatment that marks his red-chalk drawings. It-was a different-matter when he was busy with some one, male or fe­ male, who hoped that the artist would not be too truthful. For there are many who. do not think as Oliver Cromwell did eu the subject When the great lord protector was sitting for his portrait, he said: “Paint me as I am. If yo.. leave out a single wart I won’t pay you a vpenny 1” nil notable painters have not been. *bothered by Strang's love of truth, a fact which might be proved by a portrait familiar to Americans and Indeed to people all over the world. It la only necessary to compare the statue of the Father of bis Coun­ try by. Houdon, which stands in the statehouse in Richmond, Va.—a re­ plica of which was unveiled In Tra­ falgar square,' London, a few years : ago—with Gilbert Stuart's painting, ■or paintings of Washington, to see that his head of the first President .ts a glorified one,' Indeed, fhe portraits of the great taran by other artists have not the regularity of feature” that we have ■ come to associate with him. .-A .: - .- .................... , ’ a .

Stuart want ed to give an (dea of his true dignity and character, even If be had to sac­ rifice strict fidelity to veracity In do­ ing so. ' In this he succeeded. Since then : everybody has been satisfied that Stuart's canvases represented the real man, even if they varied from the physical in certain details. That is why Stuart’s portrait was selected for our bills and postage slumps. So it might be said that Gilbert Stuart was not false to his conscience In any real sense of the word. For he produced the spirit of his tin-' mortal sitter for future ages. His case was very different from that of many other palmers who set a fashion from time to time. Thus all the ladles painted by the Scottish Raeburn—whose wgik Is in many American. collections—tend to lohk alike.,They have the same fig­ ures! the same features, the same expression. , Perhaps the psychologists mighf suggest that a f te r the first picture by Raeburn had proved a success, the women of fashion otr the time tended to look like I t •.....
