He em­ phasized particularly that the student plus what he has and what he will get plus God makes for the true equation in life. The address was followed by two vocal solos by Mrs. Work, ac­ companied at the piano by Miss Elea­ nor Bull. Announcements by the pastors of the local churches welcoming the stu­ dents and faculty to the seryices o f the churches followed.

HAVE SHORTTERM While the, Cedarville public schools do not open until Monday, most o f the schools in the state opened Tuesday o f this week. Probably at no time in the past forty years have the schools o f Ohio opened with as much uncertain­ ty or as varied as to length o f terin, • or their plan o f operation. > Financial conditions are different in most every community, whether it is rural or urban. Some will open late owing to short terms. Others start­ ed on time but will probably be forced to close during the told winter months to save fuel and help reduce the ex­ pense, * Dayton schools will be operated on a three-day-a-week basis for high schools and a half-day basis for grades. Several o f Cleveland's suburbs will not be able to open their schools un­ less state aid is granted. Cincinnati dropped 40 per cent o f their teachers and will double classes to keep within income. Many other Ohio cities and school districts are in as bad financial condition. The next question is how long can the state stand the strain, If it were not fo r the cigarette tax the state would not be able to give aid to many districts now. Mr, Emery Iliff of Chicago was here over tlie week-end and. Labor Day visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Iliff.
