Bribe Testimony Is Charged In Osborn Case That Mrs. Lewis Liming, one of the state’s chief witnesses, made state­ ments to the effect that her husband had been premised immunity if she would testify for the prosecution, is one of the grounds on which Attorney F. L. Johnson is asking for a new trial for A; B. Malotte, Osborn res­ taurant owner, convicted last week of grand larceny for participation in the robbery at the Charles Monnett home last November.

Brown, personal service item represents about two-thirds of the total costs of elections in Ohio. The largest single item is of course the expense of precinct officials in the voting booths on the general election day in November. The total personal service item in Ohio election expense for 1931 amounted to $1,525,000 which was 22 per cent lower than in 1930. This reduction was well dis­ tributed, almost every county con­ tributing to the savings.

CEDARVILLE IS DEFEATED BY BY BRYAN . In the last game of this basketball this season, Cedarville was defeated by Bryan Itigh’s teams. -The Bed and White quintet, handicapped by the absence of Waddle, was able to score only 15 points while their opponents were ,scoring 24, The local girls were defeated 22-13 in a preliminary gatne. W. C. Fish, who was to referee the game,, was unable to come, and a sub­ stitute official was sent by State Ath­ letic Commissioner Townsend. With almost everyone and every­ thing exempt under the classification law, the county auditors in the state are having a hard time to find per­ sonal property to tax. Out of the first 250 returns in Franklin county the tax ranged from five cents to $2.50 each. In this county less than 60 per cent of the returns filed were found to be taxable, some running as low as ten cents. The personal property will be much less- than under the old law.

No two patients are alike but as a rule, seclusiveness, foss o f weight, re­ fusal to eat and delusions which grow in intensity are the characteristics. Thousands of these pitiful cases could be avoided if we but had a sys­ tem of mental hygiene in the schools where all pupils would receive a com­ plete physicial and mental examina­ tion once a year. This is more im­ port than tests in geography, gram­ mar or physics. I must emphasize the supremely important educational work that is properly the sphere of the Parent Teacher associations emphasis upon dean, wholesome home conditions and intelligent direction of the child. The school can never take the place of the home but if the home is broken so­ ciety, for its own protection, must supply wholesome influences for the child. The profession of teaching has reached a high plane. It must, in the fulfillment of its own aims and ob­ jectives, adopt mental hygiene as part of its service. From infancy on, behavior becomes the foundation upon which is erected the structure of the individual life. Behavior is conditioned by bodily con­ ditions. It is twisted or warped, flat­ tened or -expanded by what the child sees and hears in the home and in the neighborhood. Respectfully yours, H. H. McClellan, M.
