The advent of the automobile and the building of the Lake road from Cleveland to Lorain, together with the splendid beaches along the shore of Lake Erie made this section a most desirable residence section. People began to come. Allotments were laid out and in a few years the Lake Shore began to take on the aspects of village life. The people were progressive and forward-looking. Finally, the nothern portion of Avon Township was in- corporated into a village to be called Avon Lake. This territory supported three one-room schools and one two-room school. By 1920 these schools were filled to overflowing-more room was needed. The people of Avon Lake were desirious that their schools should keep pace with the times. Early in that year the board of education began working upon the propo- sition of a centralized school and in August, 1921, submitted the proposi- tion to the voters. It was approved by a good majority. The board im- mediately began the construction of a modern, fire-proof building on a fine site of several acres. In September, 1922, while the new building was under construction the first beginnings were made in organizing a high school. Mr. Donald Sinclair was the first principal. The new building, costing with its site and equipment, approximately 35140,000, was completed and occupied in September, 1923. The standards of the school are high, its patrons are loyal and its teachers exceptionally well qualified for their work. Avon The oldest records we have of the Avon public schools are dated April 18, 1853, with ten school districts. At this time Avon and Avon Lake were one township. Some of the buildings were of frame, but were re- placed by brick ones later on. The first class was graduated in 1906, when Avon had a 3rd grade high school. Mr. N. L. Eaton was the first princi- pal. All the pupils are now housed in one building, which was erected in 1924 at a cost of S110,000. The 1925 class is the largest class to grad- uate and numbers eight students. The Avon public schools rank high in school standards. All the high school teachers are college graduates and three hold life certificates The courses of study compare favorably with those of any other first grade school in the state An Avon student Archie Chester 'won the North- eastern Ohio championship in Oratory at Kent in 1923 lhe school was given a first grade charter bv the state two years ago The chief event of the present school year came the last day of the first semester when school mos ed from the two old buildings into the fine new structure It inaugurated a fine new life for Avon children teachers and community 'lhe Senior class and Dramatic club took inspiration ,nd bought a beautiful curtain for the stage and the athletic association bought apparatus and equipment for the gymnasium and playground ll .W . li .. ll il I 9 l J . .

We might dispose of the history of the Amherst school build- lgi ' n "4 ing in as brief a way. The first building erected upon the present site was if destroyed by fire. A second building built of stone, was also devoured by flames. A new stone building was immediately begun and was completed in 1908. This building is an excellent one of the type common at that 'il ,Q period. While it was a modern school plant it did not provide all the Q facilities for the modern school curricula. After much planning we de- I if cided to build an addition to the building erected in 1908 rather than a A separate plant. The building pictured here shows the present school plant U1 T 1 containing 30 rooms, including a gym, manual training, domestic science, ,ff art and music rooms. All of these departments are available for all the lil children--a condition which would not have been true had the new build- U' ing been erected as a separate plant. We are working under a plan similar to that used in Gary, Indiana, which enables us to offer the "special activities" at no increase in cost. if We have enrolled 830 pupils and find there is room for growth. ,. l l 1 ' South Amherst I ' , l '4 ll W Back of South Amherst's present excellent educational system is an in- ill teresting history of expansion from humble beginnings. The first school house was a two-story frame structure erected on the lot just east of the ' Congregational church. Shakespeare Boynton was one of the first teachers gg in this school. In 1887 this building was moved to the corner at Main and Lake Streets and is now occupied by the Atlantic and Pacific store. On lil the old site was erected a one-story building of sandstone. In 1896 an additional room was built on the rear of this building for grades 5-8. p This was known throughout the community as the "high school." In 1891 ,A another stone building was erected at Wyatt's corners. 4-l In 1910 a large plot of ground was purchased from Thomas Swan lil in and a substantial eight room sandstone structure was constructed at a cost of 325,000 In 1920 the Village of South Amherst was incorporated it 213' and the South Amherst Village School District was the result. In 1922 an addition to the central building was completed at a cost E of 370,000.00 It was constructed of sandstone quarried in the village. vi .ti The new school plant is one of which the people of South Amherst may lp Q? be justly proud, as it answers the demands of the modern school adrnir- I ably. V ' E10-ven Twelve Gfimmwlem Belden Camden qgmgmqggg 1 l i. rig 5 4 1 its lr' if 'I l 1 Sw Ev li The first school building in Camden Township was made of logs and erected in 1833. Is was used for all community activities as well as for IV ' school purposes. Miss Laura Allen was the first teacher, receiving 75 ,, cents a week for her service. l, Following this three frame buildings were erected and later six brick gl buildings, which made up the educational facilities of the township, from l the building standpoint, until the present structure was completed. This ,lf 4 building was dedicated in the fall of 1924, though it was used during the '75 later part of the 1923-24 school year. It has every convenience of the 1 best rural schools of the state, being equipped with manual training and If domestic science departments, a combination auditorium and gym and an approved library. One hundred and eighty students from all parts of the township find their way to this building each morning by foot, automobile, 5 school wagon or bus. Including the music department there are 8 teachers. l 5 With this group of students properly classified and the faculty made up - of teachers who have specialized along certain lines, it has been possible not only to raise the general standard of the school but to take first school prize at the county fair and to hold the county championship in basketball for two years. , This building belongs to the people of the community and is used by ii them for all community purposes. l Belden gli ..-T ,, li The Belden School Building is located in Grafton Township at the ii 1 center. It is a modern two-story brick structure and is up-to-date in every ,, particular. On the main floor are the classrooms of the grades-large, l airy and well lighted. The rooms on the second floor are used for junior l and senior high school work. The combination auditorium and gymnasium l is one of the best in the county. With its large fioor and high ceiling it makes an ideal room for basketball and other indoor sports. It has a li stage large enough to accommodate any ordinary school play or operetta. li The sub-basement contains the dressing rooms and showers, toilets, g boiler rooms and in addition laboratories for domestic science and manual training. There is also a physics and chemistry laboratory, library, rest U room and office. In addition to being modern in construction, the building E' is modern in all its appointments. The building was first occupied in the fall of 1923, just 70 years after the establishment of the first select school in the village in 1853. P llm ll"c.. .1 3 g o.. .

The Hrst school was taught in this same year by Miss Mary Sibley in a log 1' li' school house. The first school house was a frame building which now L serves as a residence. The first brick school building consisted of two ,L ' it rooms, four other rooms were added in 1892 and this, with a frame annex, l' A 1 constitutes the buildings which house our present school system. One -,ff member of the board of education has served for 20 years. We have an H5 efficient student council, complete class organizations, orchestra and three tj 1' honor societies. The student council was one of the first organized in the T ,' county and it backsi the staff of the school paper-The Purple and Gold. 51, The orchestra has a student leader and is always ready to respond when W 33 called upon. 5 The churches, business people, parent-teacher association and the en- If L tire community are the real backers of all school activities and always U respond whenever given an opportunity. The Pillar, representing strength is emblematic of our school. 'I' fx ii 1 1 LaGrange ' l -1 iz Great changes have taken place in the organization of the LaGrange '9 if schools since their beginning approximately 100 years ago. Within the nr memory of living graduates there were two small buildings, one of which J 2225 was located on the present site, the other near the site of the Adventist Church. The first class to be graduated from the high school consisted of ia Messrs. W. H. Hubbard, Porter Lincoln, Avery Wilcox and H. A. Lazelle. 1 1 3 They received their diplomas in 1881. The first superintendent of schools 3 f was Geo. Ryan. A remarkable example of devotion to the service of the il is schools was that of Miss Ida Hubbard who taught in LaGrange Township i for a period of 40 years. T The first part of the resent structure was built in 1891. This satis- M fied the demands of the cclfmmunity until 1915 when centralization of all 1 gill the schools of the township required larger accomodation. Ohio's high 'Q it standard of compulsory school attendance, a slight increase in population fl, and a broadening of the school curriculum again called for an addition to xg M , the sclfool plant. Consequently in 1924 a splendid addition consisting of a T' 55, combination auditorium and gym, an office and two large class rooms were ,ij W added. The school plant today is one which the citizens of the community TJ are justly proud to own. p The LaGrange schools are largely indebted to the loyal and enterpris- ,iii ing members of the boards of education who have been leaders in the pro- Q up gress -which has helped to bring the school to the splendid position it now p liz! occupies. p iii!---I'-2r1-n-v -1-Ili, my 3:1-- ,il-4-sag.-ig Fifteen Sixteen f ., , If W.. dlmllmumllmim Nilfan-mlmviien-illiu 1IE.15ire55 re Columbia 'l'he rather recent date 09225 of centralization of our township might lead one at a superficial glance to suppose that there was a failure - to appreciate the value of education. This, however, is not true. In fact, - in 1914 the township approved bonds to building an adequate home for our schools. Through the advent of the World War the project was dropped . , and not resumed until 1921. Due to the increased cost of labor and ma- , terial, building plans had to be modified and additional bonds issued. The building as you can see, is a one-story edifice. It has four recitation rooms, if an office, a rest room, a gymnasium, lavatories and two store rooms. The ll class rooms are extremely pleasant and very adequately furnished. The 1 capacity of the building is about 180 and it was designed for the grades. 1 Realizing the crying need for a high school in our community the for- ward looking board of education redecorated and rearranged the old building for high school use. With the change to a first grade school and on increase in high school enrollment the board was confronted with the problem of adequately housing it. To take care of this, two commodius recitation rooms were added to the grade building. - Miss Martin, teacher of Latin in the high school informs us that she 'gl began teaching in Columbia Township in 1890 and received the remark- .5 able remuneration of S22 a month, adding however that she had to pay only S2 for board and room. V Henrietta V This is the home of the Henrietta Centralized School. It is a one- story structure and houses the elementary grades and junior and senior I gi high school. It was erected at a cost of 365,000 and occupied in 1923 for Q ill the first time. A beautiful, Wide lawn already surrounds the building. A IH, barberry hedge fringes the lawn. Extensive plans for planting will further I beautify the grounds. 5 gill. The high school received its first grade charter in 1923 and grad- i Ill uated its first class of six members May 27, 1924. Three out of the six E !3 graduates are attending institutions of higher learning. 5 ig, A list of Henrietta boys and girls who have attained eminence since 5 fl leavingtheir old home would necessarily include Hubert "Dutch" Leonard, 1 'gi world-famed baseball pitcher. An aunt, Miss Jessie Leonard, is often W spoken of as "the teacher beloved by all, commanding obedience with a y I single glance". Ruth Haynes Cook of Oberlin is perhaps the Henrietta ' teacher oldest in years. Ezra and Ernest Baumann are missionaries in y South America. Albert Bauman is a prominent Chicago minister. Ella 5 Dudley spent several years of her life as a teacher in South Africa. Sarah 1 Bell Saunders, a former teacher, has labored as a missionary in the Congo Free State for the past 25 years. Dr. Stowell Dudley took part in the 3 relief work among the refugees in Turkey during the late war. " I Miss Eliza Thomas, sister of Mrs. H. A. Coates, taught the Hill school 1n a red frame school in 1885 and in deference to her experience her salary was raised to 32.50 a week. - 5 , -, m...,-..-- W, 1 1 Q , 5, 5 gg'-'I-11ill'll' 'Il!g Im 21'-.Q-' N ?,5ll.l.E?,',,5g1 Seventeen Eighteen - nml'0lIllIK5lilIIll4P Vlirmelza-xml 4 E P lll'flllEll2Qlllll.CieD HE, M 5 m 43 5 S .,gIlI.C5,,,2l'l.s.QIIWE s ' 13 -.5 J A i . ! Brookside j L -- Brookside Junior High School takes the place of five one-room brick p F buildings which served the people east of Black River in the incorporated y 1 village of Sheffield Lake. The buildings displaced were models of archi- 1 tecture which speak Well of the enterprise of the early settlers. In 1921 a campaign for better schools was started by Elmer Cotton. M, president of the board of education, W. J. Boyd, clerk, Harry Root, and Harry Stoughton. They were ably aided by E. C. Seale, County Superin- sl, tendent and J. L. White, then principal at Vincent. A vote on a bond issue for S180,000 was carried in the fall of 1921, and the three buildings of Vincent, Highland and Brookside built. Brook- side was not occupied until the fall of 1923. 555 The building ,which is of the one-story type, occupies a site of 5 acres lil! on the north bank of French Creek, overlooking its beautiful valley, and Ill combines rural beauty with city conveniences, such as electric lights and lj water. lil The building originally had six rooms and a combination auditorium 'U and gymnasium. It was wrecked by the tornado of June 28, 1924, but was immediately rebuilt, at which time three classrooms and a room for man- ual training and domestic science were added. The junior high school was organized in 1923, with 75 pupils. It also L enrolls 40 junior high school pupils from Vincent. The first graduating 'l class numbered 16. The school now has a total enrollment of 228 and is handled by a very efficient corps of teachers. 'll' i Vincent I During the year 1911 a movement was started for the building of a school at Stop 7, which is located in the extreme southern portion of Sheffield Township. The three men who fostered the movement were Mr. Wilford, Mr. Eschtruth and Mr. Stoughton. They appealed to the board of education many times and finally the board consented to the project. The result was that a one-room building was completed and ready for ' l occupancy for the school year of 1912-1913. Due to the rapid growth of the community, in 1917 it was necessary - to enlarge the building by the addition of two rooms, making Vincent a three-room building. In 1922 Sheiiield centralized the schools of the sig Township. Vincent, as a result of the centralization, was again enlarged all by the addition of two rooms, sacrificing a third room for a modern, up- 5 to-date auditorium. At present it is a strictly modern, five-room building of the one- story type. It presents a very neat and attractive appearance and lends much to the community. 1 elnilllla lIli Nui --w e -an nfl Eg, ng- Nineteen P K - ,... - dvr.- , VN, ., F ...-.. ., ... ..-avg .. pin' ,W .ff-fr Twenty .-,MW ,,,-, X 1 ,K v .,,,. .ff ,-...-f ' B11mi1Q,Mhuvnnn llilliqblumall Elsmcss Brighton The schools of Brighton have been keeping well abreast with the times. When the outside world demanded only the three R's, that is what was taught, and the instruction was ably given in the one-room schools. But there came a time when the one-room schools could not furnish all that was needed and desired to match that offered elsewhere. So in the year 1909, the people of the township decided to centralize aand bring the children together where not only could the elementary subjects be better taught, but also a secondary education might be provided. A second grade charter for the high school was secured in 1909. This has since been raised to a first grade. In 1923 the people of Brighton erected a modern, Well-equipped school building at a cost of S80,000. This meets not only the needs of the com- munity but also accommodates 25 tuition pupils. Myron T. Herrick, Ambassador to France, taught in Brighton in the days of his youth. A. W. Shields, now Superintendent of the Wellington school taught seven years in Brighton. Hattie Lang also served the com- munity for a long period of time. The people of Brighton have always exhibited a remarkable spirit of cooperation toward the school and aided in the development of the youth of the township. Highland Highland Junior High School is a one-story, red, brick building located on the main highway a quarter of a mile south of Lorain city, in Sheflield Lake Village. It was completed during the summer of 1923, and replaces a three-room frame structure. There are six standard class rooms, two rest rooms, an office and an auditorium ample in every respect. On account of the splendid combination gymnasium and auditorium, the school building has become a real community center. It is used four or five evenings every week throughout the athletic season and serves as a meeting place for Sunday School classes on the Sabbath. Our patrons have an interest in the affairs of the school, as is mani- fested by their cooperation in various enterprises undertaken to beautify and equip the building. Among the improvements have been the erection of playground equipment, the purchase of a stage curtain and equipment, a piano, dishes and silverware and chairs for the auditorium. Plans are now being made to beautify the school yard by the planting of shrubbery? Our motto is "Nothing less than the best." f..

Shadden, an eighty-three year old resident still living in this community, attended school in a log school house which was probably the first school house in this community. The second school was a one-room frame building on the present site. The next was a one-room brick also on the same grounds. The first two rooms of the present building were built in 1914 and in 1921 an annex of two rooms was added. Miss Hubbell, who was the first principal, taught here for five years. Miss Schlessman, the primary teacher, also taught for uve years. Mrs. Ethel DeVore is now completing her sixth year as teacher in the 5th and 6th grades. This is the longest period taught by any one teacher. The largest number to graduate from the eighth grade was 14 in 1924, Linder the principalship of Mrs. Ethel Patterson. The Parent-Teacher Assocation is an important factor in the life of the community and has a membership of over hundred. They have held very interesting and profitable meetings during the years and have made several improvements to the school grounds and building. The most im- portant of which was the installation of electric lights. This was a splen- did addition and the people of the community loyally responded in financ- ing this undertaking. ' Lake Avenue The first school in this district was a one-room building, but as the enrollment increased another one-room frame building Was moved near the old brick structure. The present building, which is a two-story struc- ture containing four rooms and a large basement used for manual training purposes, was erected in 1909. The school has an active Parent-Teacher Association which has done much for the improvement of the school. They have provided playground equipment and the manual training boys have erected an outdoor basket- ball court and also a movable stage. There is an active alumni association composed of former graduates of the school. The first superintendent of the school was W. N. Parks and the first principal was Miss Hulda Mason. Mrs. Edward Cotton and Mrs. Clayton Standen are two teachers who served the school and community faithfully for a long period of years. Graduates of the school who have attained in their line of endeavor are Attorney Frank Wilford, Rev. Delbert Palmer and Miss Lillian Sears, Dean of Girls of Lakewood, Ohio. .lllllll + Twenty Three 1 I 1 K I i , E I E Twenly-Four Bmwmbolm- lfllumurunilinmqlanmo " 'IILQIIUEIIIQDIIIII- M 5 M E g ul4'llGm-L?l'l,5.II'5g., Brownhelm Browhelm Township centralized building was made possible by de- grees and not by a single bound, as often occurs. In the beginning eight separate schools operated in the township, with a high school located in a central position. The first school moved into the central one in 1915. Two years later the northern part of our township went over to the Ver- milion school and in 1917 another school came into the central school. However, this same year a vote on the total centralization of the schools lost. Again in 1919 by a majority of 5 votes centralization failed to carry, but not despairing, it was tried again in 1921 and passed. The old building was remodeled and an up-to-date addition added cost- ing 3S40,000. Rooms were provided for a first grade high school and a charter granted on Dec. 21, 1921. The building has a first class gym and auditorium which is annually the scene of many exciting athletic contests, plays, operettas, parties and a complete lyceum course, as well as other community meetings. It is used about 15 or 20 evenings each month of the winter. Brownhelm captured the basketball championship in Class B in 1925 and second place in the volley ball tournament. Within the past twro years courses in Vocations, Chemistry, Domestic Science, Mechanical Drawing and Music have been added to the curri- culum. These with other standard subjects forms as progressive and well rounded course of study as is often found in much larger schools. Huntington The schools of Huntington Township vsere centralized in 1911 being the second township in Lorain County to make this advance in educational advantages The building was erected at a cost of about S12 000 and provides comfortable and pleasant opportunities for the boys and girls of our township in their training through the elementary grades Its location in a beautiful little park at the center of the township makes it easily accessible to all and lt is geographically as well as socially a center of educational interest The building contains four well ventilated rooms with sufficient light and a local lighting system for evening enter tainments and social gatherings The school does not provide 111011 school training because of inadequate rooms and equipment but the pupils after finishing the eight grades are transported to Sullivan Wellington and Brighton for high schoool work The early training of many who have gone into professional work 1 I , D4 I.

More such buildings were added through- gi ll I out the township as the population increased. Frame buildings replaced if 3 5 , some of the log buildings as time went on. Commencing in the 1860's l 1 these buildings were gradually replaced with larger brick buildings. Q, lr I Ridgeville is on the main highway between Elyria and Cleveland.

After a few it l ' years a log school house was built and she continued to teach summers if in that building, for there was no school in the winter. In 1849 a private ll 1 school of higher grade was opened, which later became a part of the pub- lil lic school system. For several years there were three small school build- lii ings situated indifferent parts of the town but in the years 1867-69 a large central high school was erected upon the site of the present one. This seemed adequate until 1918 when the schools were centralized and a Eg 1.

Practically all our centralized schools are located on sites of five acres or more. This makes possible a large space for lawn, trees and shrub- bery, as well as adequate space for playground apparatus for the little folks and an athletic field for the high school. Much progress has al- ready been made in beautifying the school grounds and improving the facilities for play. Another characteristic of Lorain County's schools is its auditoriums and gymnasiums. Every school which has been erected within the past five years has provided these rooms and the old buildings have in most cases added them. The combination type of auditorium and gymnasium is in universal use in the county. This is a large room usually 40x60 feet of level floor space. This makes it adapted to the purposes of a gymnasium. However, when a stage is added, and in some cases a balcony, and it is seated with comfortable folding chairs, it serves the purpose of an audi- torium in splendid fashion. All buildings have been erected in strict conformity to the state building code. This means proper light, ventilation, heat, fire protection, sanitary provisions and general construction. Every building is modern in every respect. Practically all are heated by steam and ventilated by a motor driven fan. Every building is provided with a system of electric lights. Another feature of our buildings is that in practically every case pro- vision is made to enlarge the building to take care of future growth with- out interferring with the present structure. It might have been possible to lessen the cost of construction by the use of cheaper material or by the installation of cheaper equipment. The board of education and the people of each community are to be congratulated that they have builded well and permanently. e i ..,, W , c - E l N 'f' will if r T f i. uM ZX l O 'nf l l l .Q is .-- -1 fwenty-Eight fIUDM5im1:iiIf1unHI5 ,Q - -,Q' W n ee 3,5417 w A 5 in- f Q , 4 , e .ln 5 t Y t ii! lvl t 1 F352 Alia n ll? w lil' w X I ii. 1 gn :ii da 3' ! 3- tv tl' .

'W-Q' w Lorain County is exceedingly fortunate in having at the head of its . schools, Ellis C. Seale, as County Superintendent. He is in the largest li ' sense of these words, teacher, leader, counselor and friend. Under his , direction Lorain County schools have advanced to a position among the ' foremost counties of the State of Ohio. 3 Mr. Seale's qualifications and previous training have admirably fitted if him for his present position. I-Ie was reared in the rural districts of Ken- EQ f tucky, coming up through the grades and high school and later graduating 5 at Miami University. His major interest has always been in rural edu- fi cation. As teacher in Berea College, Kentucky, he was closely associated with the efforts of that institution to adapt higher education to rural 5 y life. While there he became imbued with the desire to provide better edu- 1 cational opportunities in the open country. , 5 Pursuing this ideal, in 1913 he became head of the Department of Rural Education at Kent State College. This Work brought him in contact with teachers and superintendents of rural education. Under Mr. Seale's -A . direction the college maintained a number of model rural schools. These H . became centers of improvement. Through the extension service of the college, Mr. Seale became directly connected with the movement for the im- 31,1 provement of schools throughout the state and aided many districts in the Q erection of modern school buildings. QQ-,Q Gathering the best from many schools over a wide area he desired an 531, opportunity to put them into actual practice. Lorain County provided this 3 opportunity. In 1920 he took up his present work. ii Under Superintendent Seale's leadership the educational forces gift? hitherto unorganized were brought together in a program for school im- M provement. Believing in community participation in improvement pro- 'Vi grams, Mr. Seale organized a local chapter of the parent-teacher asso- if ciation in every school district, coordinating the work of these groups in . the first county council in the United States. As an authority on the legal 1 and financial phases of school administration the county board of education ijj and twenty-nine local boards have looked to him for counsel. Supt. Seale's 1 ' abounding enthusiasm has radiated to all his teachers and to everyone of the 6,500 boys and girls enrolled in the county schools. - Under such leadership, for the past five years, these groups have been making one united efort for better schools. Almost every district has 3 53 been centralized in a modern building and equipment to meet the highest 3 -1 standard set by the State Department of Education, has been installed. The curriculum has been enriched, uniform textbooks adopted and the best 31' teachers procured, until today the rural boys and girls of Lorain County ff" can secure within their own community the best elementary and high school education the country affords.

Methods of in- , R struction were necessarily crude, and the birch rod was freely used to bridge over the gaps in instructiong but the educational requirements of the times were few. In H ' L fact, a thorough mastery of the Three R's was considered a prize accomplishment. ,g' ' Q Lorain County, being a part of the l1Vestern Reserve, settled by New England fl stock, was a leader in education in those days. The fact that she bordered on the great we ' expanse of Lake Erie gave her ready access to the outside world and she invited pro- ' f 5 gress with the same hand that she invited new settlers to take up her land. ' I I . With the increase in wealth of the settlers, permanent frame dwellings began to il g dot the landscape and questioning eyes turned toward the log cabin school. Where E i permanent farm homes were being erected, there people would continue to live, and lf Q where people continued to live, there would be children to be sent to school. The 5,1 LN natural result was the frame school house. We look at their imperfect lighting, their 3 uncomfortable seats and their meager equipment and wonder at the problems of the X pioneer teacherg but the people of those days must have viewed them with genuine Q1 all ll ' 5 I A awe and deserved pride in achievement. -4M I I A' ' - A - 6,-A UM.

X I ipli .51 g to v The gregarious instinct of the race found expression in such lively gatherings as debates and spelling contests and a great deal of local pride was engendered. The isolation resulting from lack of transportation had no small part in this work. The chief requirement of the teacher of a half century ago was to be able to suc- cessfully' wade through such annoying problems in Ray's Higher Arithmetic as find- ing the volume of the frustum of a pyramid in order that the amount of stone in one of the Egyptian piles could be accurately ascertained in case some tropical hurricane should deprive it of an upper story. He was not asked how he could teach reading but more probably 'how to give all the different sounds of ua." Not special training in instruction but the ability to thrash the largest boy in school was a teacher's chief asset. Frame buildings will wear out or burn up, and school houses are no exception to the rule. This fact gave rise to new buildings and a desire for something better caused them to be built of brick. When a specially progressive district erected a brick build- ing the neighboring districts were forced to do the same in self defense, for local pride ran high. With all the progress in building the methods of instruction remained the same. The teacher was satisfied with his job. His was an honored position in the simple life of our ancestors. The grouping of pupils was not very definite in the public schools of the 19th century. In most schools a system of marking of pupils was wholly lacking. The big boy in the corner would probably be said to be in the fourth reader and Ray's Third Part of Arithmetic. What we have been pleased to call the "Industrial Revolution" occurred during the last half of the 19th century, and complicated life in the United States as nothing had done before. Demands were made which the one-room school could not meet. New subjects were brought into the curriculum and the high prices and steady employment of the factories made it profitable for the country boy to go to the city to work dur- ing the winter moonths, or, as often was the case, to leave the farm for a permanent job .Zeb 'elf' Thirty-Three 1 N , -Z... 4 1 ' xi in the city. This made it necessary to crowd his education into a much shorter period of time than formerly. Additional subjects and an ever shorter period of instruction was a problem which de-manded solution, and the school system was closely scrutinized for any signs of inefiiciency which could be eliminated. Just when this added demand was being made upon the schools, the quality of the teaching force began to fall off alarmingly, for the same call that had come to the farm boy had come to the teacher as well and he found that his services were amply regarded in the factories. The idea developed that teaching was a valuable experience preliminary to a career in business and the transitory teacher was with us. Far-sighted men viewed the situation with alarm and anxiously looked about for means to make the teaching profession sufiiciently attractive as a lifetime employment. Hard surface roads and the automobile tended to break up the local community just as the mud roads had made the local school house a popular meeting place. Trans- portation had opened up a new world. The city and its factories took away the perm- anent teacher, the times demanded a more complex curriculum. These three things happened at about the same time. Improvements in grouping, curriculum and grading were sought to meet the demands of the new age. Many reasons were advanced to account for the rapid drift of the best e-lement of the country toward the city. It was evident to students of rural life that the one- room school was finding it difficult to compete with its city neighbors in advantages offered to its youth. But a deal of sentiment nestled round the little red school house and the people were loath to give up so hallowed an institution. Changes come slowly in rural districts. They always have. However, the same feeling of responsibility which had called forth the log cabin school again rose for the solution of this problem. In Lorain County it has taken the form of centralized schools. The greater degree of specialization and more extensive course of study made possible by these schools have given the rural boys and girls educational opportunities which compare favorably with those of the city youth. The chance for promotion in these schools has appealed to teachers and positions are eagerly sought. The problem of the transitory teacher was largely solved by the law requiring special training in education for a teacher. The problem of the community meeting place has been met in the auditoriums of our modern rural schools and their extensive playgrounds. Again Lorain County has felt the pioneer spirit and the high place she now holds among the schools of the state show how thoroughly this spirit has found expression. We are not alone in this progress but we are proud to say that we keep company with the best. Thu ty Four i 5 , Z if L 1 ...x Q, ' '1 ' z E 'U rm i-- - ..-,..,..

No effective work can be done Without it, In this respect Lorain County Schools are particularly favored. The men and Women who make up the ofiice force as assistants to the county superintendent and as secretaries are in a very large sense responsible for the success of Lorain County's Schools. Mr. C. Olman Masters has the honor of being the oldest member ofthe county office force in point of service, coming to his present position in 1914 when the county system of schools was first organized. He received his training principally at Wooster, although he has spent some time at Wittenberg and Kent State College. Mr. Masters has a very special in- terest in rural education and particularly elementary education. He is an ardent supporter of Parent-Teacher work. If his philosophy of school work were to be stated it would probably be, "Keep your people with you." Mr. George J. Mitchelson came to his present position as assistant county superintendent in charge of high schools in September, 1920. Prior to that time he had been superintendent of schools at Nova, Ohio. Mr. Mitchelson received his training principally at Ashland College although he has spent some time at Wooster, Oberlin, and Ohio State. His major interest has 'always been the rural schools. In his quiet yet effective way he has aided much in developing the high schools to their present high standing. His creed is: a high grade of instructiong all work up to state standards g every school adequately equippedg all credits properly re- cordedg all schools conducted in a business-like manner. Mrs. Helen Fackler came to her present position as assistant superin- tendent in charge of elementary schools and child accounting at the open- ing of the present school year in 1924. Prior to that time she had been assistant director of the Lorain County Normal School. She received her training in Oberlin College. Her particular interest is elementary edu- cation with the emphasis upon nature study and hygiene. This year she has prepared a bulletin of projects in hygiene Which the teachers and pupils are finding very helpful. It is also a part of her task to keep an accurate record of attendance of pupils at school and to make out the necessary reports. Mrs. Fackler is of invaluable assistance to the teachers of the county in the selection of material for their work and in arrang- ing it in presentable form. Miss Eva L. Mackey has occupied her present position as secretary since September, 1921. She is a product of the Elyria High School and received her business training at Twin City Business College with addi- tional Work at Elyria Business College. From the very nature of her work she has a most intimate knowledge of the educational and business affairs of the County Board of Education. Much of the success of the oflice de- pends upon the skill and accuracy with Which she does her work. Her motto is "Do it right."

XY, Within the memory of many who will read these I tion to the three r's, readin', 'ritin, and 'rithmetic, y while the hi h schools, where there were any offered I ' g 1 WT only those courses required for college entrance. ' l Very few communities even thought of maintaining i A X a high school. One writer whose youth dates back to that period said his idea of a high school was a 1 school conducted on the secondstory of a two-story .u , . building. At that period there were not one hundred , pupils in high school in all Lorain County. WV1' ' Now, all this is changed. The high school has I. become the people's school-the university of the V - common man. The vast majority of our boys and H l 1 X 1 girls must get all the preparation for life they will - 1 Q ever get from the high school. The school of today, ,gf 1 l then, must do something more than prepare for .ii ' l college--it must, in the great majority of cases, pre- ,I V ' pare for life. fj Of course, every first grade high school must offer those subjects required for admission to our stand- .N ' I ard colleges, but when we think that less than one- 2 '- half of those who enter high school complete the l course and less than one-third of those who complete Q 3 I . I' ' p., the high school course, enter these standard colleges, 'Ly Y we can easily see that if the high school confined its courses to college entrance re- - quirements, it would be most unfair to the majority of the pupils. Every high school must, then, in addition to offering the subjects required for college entrance, offer a large number of subjects to meet the needs of those who will ' not go to college or who will not even complete the high school. Ig 'S This is the basic principle in the organization of the high schools of Lorain County il il ,gg -to offer to every boy and girl the best possible opportunity to fit himself or herself F 5 M' for living a happy, enthusiastic and useful life. This idea determines the emphasis ' 5 " placed upon the subjects in the curriculum. f ' . 'Every pupil is required to pursue courses in English during the entire four years in high school. The reason for this is, that we believe success in life depends largely on one's ability to express himself in oral and written speech. Much of the course is- de- q , l voted to the mastery of the principles and practice of correct and easy speech. . . w '1-, 1 21 .

In order to encourage public speaking, the high schools of the county are or- ganized into an oratorical and reading association. Each year there is held a contest which is county wi-de with appropriate awards for the winners. This year for the first time, most of the schools participated in a debating league. This aroused a great deal of interest. In addition, most schools maintain one or more literary clubs whose aim is to pro- mote better speech and greater skill in public speaking. Perhaps, the next most important group of subjects in the high school is that group known as the social sciences and includes history, civics, sociology and economics. In the early days high school stu-dents had little opportunity to study these subjects. They were taught only in college. When we consider that the object of all edu- cation is to train for effective citizenship, it becomes clear that every student should have a knowledge of the history of the world in general and of 'his own country in particular. He should know something of the sacrifices of his fore- fathers in developing and maintaining our splendid institutions. He should know something of the form and ope- ration of our government. He must have an acquaintance with social pro- cesses and economic laws. Each student in high school is required to pursue sub- jects in this field for at least two years and has the opportunity for continuing for four years. This work is not con- h fined to textbooks alone. The students investigate problems of current interest. Many classes have visited the courts of mayors and judges. They have studied problems of taxation. They have interviewed public officials and held mock conven- tions and elections. In most high schools there is some form of student govern- ment. It is the belief of those responsible for the curriculum that the best way to develop good citizens is through the con- crete practice of citizenship. Interest in this field sometimes finds expres-sion in Americanization classes. The next most important group of sub- jects in high schools is known as the physical sciences. This group usually includes physics, chemistry, biology, botany, physiology and general science. Many of these have been in the high school curriculum for a long period, but, 'f -f'w'-""""-"s'--c- rw W of H --H -T--srl.. I 4 f 1 il". ----.-.-..A-......-....1'--A .

The subject matter in each of these sciences is alto- QT. gether different from that found in the - texts of earlier years. Then the theo- retical was emphasized, now it is the practical. Some of these subjects, as for example, chemistry, have but recently found their way into the high school, and particularly the- small high school. Today it is perhaps the most fundamental and the most popular course of all the . .1 sciences. Properly taught, it answers a Q thousand questions in every day life, as, 5 why does bread rise or milk sour? No student is equipped to understand life 1 and the wonderful processes in nature all about him if he has not studied one or more of these sciences. I , l Perhaps, it is not safe to state the various groups of subjects and to arrange them in the order of their importance although there can be little danger of disagreement on the three groups mentioned above in the order in which they are listed. 5 Even at the risk of argument, one might suggest that L 4 the rou next in im ortance is the rou known as 133 lt? g. P . .P . 3 P. vocational subjects, including manual training, home if r : economics and the various business courses. These .ref are all new comers to the high school curriculum. For rr many years they were offered only to those who were unable, because of mental handicaps, to master the il courses in language and mathematics. They were listed under "General Course" and were not ac- X credited for college entrance. Today, h-owever, they Qi , have taken their place in the curriculum as vital sub- 1? jects and are proving their value in the skills de- veloped. It is with the introduction of these courses '1 T as a recognized part of the training of every pupil 5 L3 ' ,J... that the m-odern high school has broken completely ll K with the old order. ' Every pupil in Lor- ii ain County high -I schools has an op- E portunity to gain a :- practical education i l in this field. 1 lv Thus far we have not mentioned the two great X i E groups of subjects which made up the backbone of the . i V curriculum of the earlier school-foreign languages l 1 and mathematics. These were not left to the last be- l cause they are unimportant, but because in weighing p ' the values of the various courses to the average student, it is felt that these subjects are not so fun- m - damental to all students as are those in the other I groups. Certainly, there is fine training for the - ' student who pursues his Latin with diligence or who U has a taste for language and an ability in mathema- Q71 j tics, is urged to pursue courses in these subjects and .ii large numbers do.

In the elementary schools the changes in just as great, although less noticeable to the P 1 change in subjects but a change in the subject matter and in the methods of teaching. Today the elementary teacher must know something of child psy- chology. The subject matter must be presented in such a way that the learn- ing process will go on as rapidly as subject matter have perhaps been ublic because the change is not a. possible. Under the influence of modern pedagogy, many of the methods of earlier days have gone. Reading is no longer taught by the a, b, c method. The pupil is taught to recognize whole words and phrases at a glance. The result is more rapid reading and a better grasp of content. Again, in the earlier day, all reading was oral. Today silent reading has been developed. A method of teaching has likewise been evolved and pupils are being taught to read with a speed and a comprehension never before attained. Moreover, the majority of pupils enjoy reading and under the guidance of the skillful teacher are making the acquaint- ance of the best books. The pupil of a generation ago read only one book, now the pupil reads many books. The changes in the teaching of reading have been discussed at some length. The changes in the other subjects must be passed over briefly for lack of space, but changes in these subjects are no less important. In spelling, for example, the pupil is fno longer required to spell a long list of words, the meaning of which he does not know and which he will never use. Many studies of spelling have been made and the words given our pupils today are only such words as are in common speech. T'hus, the pupil saves time and is a better speller by all practical tests than if he had stu-:lied words he would never use. This same inhuence has been at work in writing, history, geography and language. So much progress has been made in this field that the schools are able to ive the pupils as thorough mastery of the fundamental subjects in six years as they g were able to get in eight years under the old methods. In addition, time IS found for . . . . d such subjects as music, drawing, physical education and play. Someone has calle these the frills in education. If education is to make one socially efficient, healthful and happy, then these subjects are as fundamental as any. Parallel to this movement for time saving in the elementary schools has grovsm up another type of school or- ganization-the Junior High. For years educational leaders have recognized that the pupils of the seventh and eighth grades do not belong in the same group with the lower grades in the elementary ,W school. Neither do they belong with the pupils of more mature years in the high school. Then, too, it was found that the break between the high and the elemen- tary school was too great. Pupils tended sl 2-.T'N W'-' --'M-W qv -D , , ml ,v "d ll Ill ,ginfg gigs: rty-Two a s Q - m e Elsmeas . ,,,.l.,,1 W? I to leave school at the end of the eighth grade. Large numbers of those who did ' go to high school failed in the first year. The best solution of the problem has been found in the organization of the junior high school, which includes the pupils of grades seven, eight and nine. The junior high school provides de- QS? I 1 1 a 1 I 1 l 3 Q partmental instruction, promotes a better X, type of organization, gives the pupils of 1, these grades a more definite share in the life of the school, as well as larger op- ' portunites in athletics. Lorain County's i schools are organized with six years in the elementary school, three years in the junior high school and three years in the i senior high school. The plan is working well and is in accord with the movement for i better schools throughout the country. 3 In all our schools much attention is given to the health of the pupils. Personal, 1 X school and home hygiene is taught in the schools. The sixty-five hundred boys and girsl enrolled in Lorain County's public schools N ,V have unusual opportunities. Most communities provide in their own schools, twelve ' 5 years of work. There are thirteen first grade high schools, each offering four years 'll of work. There are two second grade schools offering three years of work. These will ' become first grade as rapidly as possible. There are also two regularly organized ,L junior high schools which are not connected with senior highs. The club work of the county under the leadership of the county agent is closely related to the schools. Credit is given on home projects. One of our schools main- 'iii tains a Smith-Hughes department of agriculture with a large enrollment and carrying 3 on a long list of projects. Truly in the making of citizens, the people of Lorain County are doing their :QL share. .Ei EE ,. ll i Z x7 -I 4 .

If thesge men and women fail to sense their responsibility or to feel the importance of elilucation to the youth of their communities, then little can be accom- plis ed. Fortunate it is for Lorain County that those who have membership on the boards of education are not actuated by selfish motives but by a sincere desire to serve. We may feel assured that in each and every case they want to make the schools as good as the means at hand will permit. The cost of education has increased very rapidly within the past de- cade. This is no fault of the board of education. Costs have risen in every line-in the schools perhaps least of all. For generations the pub- lic paid little attention to school costs but now that they have risen so suddenly it is only natural that people everywhere should want to know the reason. The first impulse is to charge the board with extravagance. However, the public is beginning to be aware that the cause of the in- crease is to be found altogether outside the board of education and beyond its control. The increase is due to the rise in the general level of prices so that teachers cost more, transportation, janitors, coal, supplies, build- ing-all cost more. Then, too, more pupils are going to school than ever before. The public is demanding better facilities. All these cannot be had without increased cost. The public should realize that the board of education are the biggest builders in the community. They are the largest employers of skilled labor, they purchase more coal and supplies than any other business organ- ization. No other organization is charged with such responsibility-that of training the future citizens of our country. ' During the recent reorganization of the schools of the county, many buildings have been erected. This involved many special meetings lasting until late hours of the night and in some cases to early hours of the morn- ing. The boards of education have given without stint of their time in order that every dollar might be wisely expended. The high standard which has been attained by the schools of Lorain County as recognized by the State Department of Education and by edu- cators of the state and nation could not have been realized but for the untiring and unselfish motives, able support and continuous co-operation of the boards of education. gggf Forty Fwe .. ,.. . . ,, W?

It has been said of Mark Hopkins that if he were on one end of a log and someone who wished to learn was on the other, you would have all the essentials of a great uni- versity. This emphasizes the truth that the most important factors in the educational process are the teacher and the pupil. Education is one of the oldest occupations known to civilization. Even in prehistoric times and among savage peoples provision was made to train the youth in the habits, customs and skills found to be most essential to success in adult life. Among the ancients, long before there were school houses, men went about the streets and stood in the market place and taught all who desired to learn. Teaching has always been an honorable vocation. The teacher has been the leader-the bearer of the torch of civilization in every age. If we were to ask what country has contributed most to the civiliza- tion of the world, we would not look to China, whose government has gone on unchanged for centuries, and whose religious institutions antedate his- tory itself. Rather would we turn to Greece, that little country by the Aegean Sea, Where an old man with bowed head and bare feet stopped the idler to inquire "What is beauty? What is truth ?" It was the teachers of Greece that made her great. In the Middle Ages the teachers were found principally in monas- taries, shut away from the world and because of that fact, the lamp of civilization burned low-almost went out. Learning could be had only by certain privileged classes. With the advent of modern times, learning was sought as the heritage of common men and women everywhere. The teacher once more took his place in the community as the leader of youth. The importance of the teacher's 'work has been recognized and the con- ditions of his employment improved until today teaching may be classed among thelearned professions, and recognition given accordingly. One could not tell the story of school progress in Lorain County and not write a chapter on the teachers. We have expended large sums to pro- vide buildings, grounds and equipment, but after all these are mere tools to be used by the teachers in doing a more effective work. When one con- siders the Work of the teachers of Lorain County he gets a mental pic- ture of two hundred twenty-eight men and women, gathering daily into their classrooms nearly seven thousand boys and girls, of all ages from the first grade through the high school. Each teacher is responsible for a certain definite piece of work. Each is qualified by temperament, exper- ience and training to do that Work. That it is well ,done is shown by the interest of the pupils and the progress in their studies. Through her con- tact With the community, the school and home are brought into closer rela- tionship and education becomes a matter of partnership in which the train- ing of citizens is the chief concern. In those schools which have been centralized or consolidated as Well as in the village schools, the faculties are organized into elementary, fCo'ntinued on page 641 'glands-f4IIlIIIl jlh J V HU!

These are headed by a superinten- dent or principal according to the size of the school and the number of teachers in the group. Upon the head of each of these schools falls the responsibility for the conduct of the school in detail. Lorain County is fortunate in having as leaders in its schools men and women especially trained for the work and above all possessing a vision of the school as it ought to be. With leadership of this kind our schools must take a high place in the community. Every teacher in Lorain County meets every educational, ethical and moral requirement of the state. It is interesting to note the wide range of colleges and universities from which our teachers come. Eialeas COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES NORMAL SCHOOL.

Studies, debates, athletics, orations and plays have been happily achieved with E15 mingled efforts and pleasures. It is hoped that the following pages will Elf! indicate something of the life and activities of our Senior Classes, and 'gy may still further the bonds of friendship existing between them. .gl The Seniors have reached the station in life now where an active part iii in community affairs is demanded. The purest joy that they can ever ex- Qag perience will consist in doing their duty to God and to man. The highest and most lasting happiness will come to those who will be a benefit to others by making their lives count for something. With a growing sense Isa., of duty and responsibility, the Seniors of the Lorain County Schools are in preparing to take leave of their Alma Maters. Seniors! What a magical word! What does it mean? There surely ii, must be some import behind the word 5 if not, why is it that they so easily U r- command the respect of their schoolmates of lower rank? Why are they worthy of the increased privileges allowed by their teachers? Is it that p 5 they have "arrived ?" Have they finished their life work? Of course, they , feel that they are at the very peak of the world, for they have accomplished lil twelve years of preparation for life, cram, jam full of habits coaxed and 32, pounded into their heads by their teachers, fairly bursting with ideas I seeking outlet in some form of activity. Yes, they have finished-but wait-I see the word "Commencement" looming on the horizon. Ah, the finish is attended by a commencement! ,Nfl Listen, Seniors, it is but the Commencement of Life itself. Now is If your opportunity to use the habits learned in the last twelve yearsg your in opportunity to give those ideas free outlet in whatever line of work you take up. But remember, Seniors, with this opportunity comes responsi- Eg bility. Responsibility to civilization and to society. The responsibility of living up to the ideals which your teachers have set before you and of it utilizing to the utmost the knowledge which you have gained. Now is Ili Your Opportunity, Seniors, go to it and show the world. ,if 1 il .....i...i.. gl Eight seniors entered the home oratory contest at Amherst. They took the first four places. Nearly all of the boys of the class were promi- El nent in athletics. In the '24-'25 season, not one of them was disqualified U from any contest because of deficient scholarship. 'gf "Not what you give, but what you share," and although the Avon 5 Seniors have given, they have also shared. One of the outstanding contri- ' butions to the school was buying the beautiful velour curtain and drops I for the stage. Q - l V M ' ltllr-alnlgf Seventy Six V The class of 25 of Brighton High School has always been small in numbers. Starting with an enrollment of but six, it is finishing with seven. It has left several mementos behind, among them being the electric light fixtures in the Senior High study hall. On the first day of the school year beginning in the fall of 1921 there assembled in the corridors of Brownhelm high school a groupof eighteen wide-eyed and wondering Freshmen. Fourteen have "stuck to the last" and are graduating as the Class of 1925. Aside from the influence shown by the Camden Senior Class of '25 in its willingness to assist in furthering any project which was for the bet- terment of the different organizations or school in general, it is leaving a beautiful stage curtain as a final token of respect and appreciation. The eleven seniors of Columbia high school. came from Olmsted, Strongsville, Berea and Elyria high schools as sophomores. From the first, this class has taken an active interest in all scholastic activities, both literary and athletic and hasplayed a prominent part in the social life of the school. The Belden Senior Class has always tried to uphold the highest stan- dards of scholarship, friendliness and school spirit. It has always been loyal to the school and will show its appreciation for what it has gained from the high school work by leaving a substantial gift to the school as a rememberance. The Senior Class of Grafton high school entered in 1921 with sixteen members. Undoubtedly the greatest thing the class has accomplished is the raising of the standing of our school, not only in athletics, but socially, morally and along scholastic lines. The musical, athletic and literary activities of the Henrietta Seniors have ever been prominent. They started humbly on the road to gradua- tion in the town hall in September, 1922. Where 12 made the start 10 will finish the race. Grade Dudley of our number won the county oratorical contest in 1924. La Grange Seniors-we were 19 in number when freshies. After selecting our class colors and choosing officers we began the life of high school. Our sophomore year was not very exciting-just humdrum. While juniors it was work, work, work. Class dues, banquets and plays-hurry, hurry, hurry. Now we are seniors and graduation. In the year 1921 eight boys and girls were enrolled in the Freshman class of Penfield high school. The class took a prominent part in all school activities and have kept up this standard throughout the four years. In oratory in the first year, two members of the class took first and third honors as readers. Four members of the county champion debating team are in the graduating class of 1925. his le as SD xt' ,+.

It was established as an opportunity school for children in the I early years of adolescence. It is comprised of pupils in the seventh, eighth ri and ninth grades. Although the idea originated only a decade ago, it has grown by leaps and bounds until now there are numerous junior high if f schools in a majority of the states of the union. M Let us consider briefly a few of the points in favor of the junior high U j, school. , W First, it serves to keep pupils in school an additional year. Statistics Q5-5 show that many pupils, who under the old 8-4 organization would have i dropped out of school, have, under the new 6-3-3 scheme, been benefited by W at least one more year of school. Moreover, this additional year has served ,gl to stimulate many to continue their studies in the senior high school. Wg Second, a marked economy of time in education is evident. This has iii: Q resulted from the fact that under the new plan promotions are made by ig! subject instead of by grades. We no longer require a pupil to repeat a 'W iff course in which he has not failed. Under the old plan if John Doe did not A , do satisfactory work in seventh grade arithmetic and history, he was re- quired to repeat the work of the entire grade. Now, however, he may re- M ,A ! peat his seventh grade arithmetic and history, while he is at the same time 1 I enrolled in the eighth grade in all of his other subjects. Thus the pupil fl if may now proceed with a speed determined by his native ability. sl iii: Third, the individuality of pupils is recognized and they are afforded :Q the opportunity to discover themselves by means of an enriched curriculum. A In many of the Lorain County Schools the pupils are even now permitted a certain number of electives. Among these are the industrial arts, music W 5' and vocational civics. The advantages of a system of electives is self- T evident. EQ, . Fourth, under the new plan pupils are receiving better instruction. Q 5 Under the departmental plan pupils change class rooms at regularly stated H' I intervals. Each subject is taught by a teacher who is especially trained in '.W , a particular field. This has resulted in a maximum degree of efficiency. Ji 1 V Too, pupils benefit by the change of class-rooms, for they are thus given an QV 3 opportunity to relax and stretch their muscles. Most pupils admit that 35, 3 f time passes very rapidly under this arrangement. 3,3 1 Fifth, in most of our junior high schools there has been introduced a ii' W systematic course in physical training. According to the present statutes iff' 4 of Ohio, all pupils in the public schools must receive a minimum of one g hundred minutes per week in physical education. This consists of from 'ij i 30-45 minutes formal work and from 55-70 minutes informal work. The ij i, 2 work is always under the immediate supervision of a competent instructor. 'il ' , Formal work embraces marching, calisthenics, building pyramids and per- TU. haps some aesthetic dancing. Informal work generally consists of group competition in various relay races and games. The most common in our county junior highs are possibly basketball, volley ball, indoor baseball, i . sock ball, end ball and zig-sag ball games. Educators are realizing more J 2 fContinued on page 113.5 , F4 ,.,.- ,. 1 Q,:,,z,L.g-Tl. , - - E- , 5 31Hh,Hm,,,. , ' H - 'li V lI One Hundred and Eight 'DE48 GRA E- va D4 W :E 'lf r l OHIIQIN w,,,4,...- ,,,w.1.L-P+'-' C One Hundred and Ten One Humlred and Eleven N One Hmzrlrerl and Twelve 4 nr H I, .V ll gif, li 1 4 1 il ,. 1 ,. . -1 Y .Jf ,J .p.-nlaalqsql lslu. 5 HEL IH 5 In QB 5 S Qan- cf A 1 4' l ll Continued from page 108 U " and more the value of this training, and pupils universally agree that the work is not only stimulating physically but also mentally. g Sixth, great possibilities are offered to children to "round out" their lives by early becoming interested in social, recreative and 'cultural ac- tivities. The early adolescent age is dynamic. Pupils have a super-abun- lint dance of energy which the school seeks to guide into the proper channels. QV At this stage pupils begin to explore in different fields. This accounts if for the numerous extra-curricular activities of our Junior High Schools. St? Let us briefly consider some of these activities in Lorain County Junior V' High Schools. Outstanding are our representative athletic teams in all sports in season. Here pupils are rewarded for merit in physical endeavor. ,,, Adolescents take particular pleasure in representing their school, in clean fl. and Wholesome athletic competition. This creates a strong school spirit, fs encourages clean living and develops the power to think quickly. These are it very desirable qualities and are fundamental in building true manhood and 14 A womanhood. M Consider, too, some of our activities of social nature. Avon, Camden, if Columbia, Grafton and Henrietta high schools have admitted representa- bi ll tives of the junior high classes to membership in the student council. Student councils are a democratic form of student government. The work 'V of a council is to -recommend improvements and discuss student life and Mn l school regulations with a view to the general welfare of the student body. It is certainly a high honor to a junior high pupil to be admitted even to I associate membership in such an organization. Here he gains first-hand knowledge of the policies and purposes of the public schools. Most of our extra-curricular activities are cultural as well as social. There is afforded excellent training in public speaking. There are debat- Qiw ing teams at Avon and Ridgeville g there are two unique literary societies, if the Tennysonian and Emersonian at South Amherst. Such organizations are very instrumental in overcoming the timidty and awkwardness so V i characteristic of the early adolescent age. Closely affiliated with our school 'i work are our various musical organizations- Music is raapidly gaining a 4 place of prominence in our junior highs- Chief among our county organ- Dil izations is the Avon Lake Junior High Orchestra consisting of seventeen Q 1 pieces. We note, too, that Highland and Brookside have active glee clubs. ff The former recently presented a victrola and a complete set of records to ' the school- The B. G. C. club of Brighton junior high is unique in char- l acter. Its motto is "Sew so, and not so." We readily glean its meetings ff., are enjoyable. A high standard of scholarship is a requisite for member- 'y ship in most of these extra-curricular organizations. lj Most of the junior high classes are regular organized and have duly if V elected ofhcers. This develops school spirit and strengthens class spirit. ' A Several of the junior highs have regular commencement exercises. This not only inspires many to continue their studies in high school, but also serves Q as a fitting climax for the school career of those who may not be fortunate if enough to resume their studies in high school. The Junior High Schools , . of Lorain County have passed through the experimental stage and give l promise of a successful future. sl ,. 5 Qligfh----v----ilqfpmyd 'W' fi-:hi Ulu gm? --'--'--Q-Q---' ' 5 ' - '-'-- ---'-'----of-, :'.- -1 xy One Hundred and Thirteen xf""""g BROWN!-IELM H EN RIETTA WX S One Hundred and Fourteen S.

W ml lx 11 jgmgmqggg Elementary Schools In our county, we have adopted the 6-6 plan of school organization. In this plan, the Work of the first six grades is an organized preparation for Junior and Senior High School. The first six grades are the founda- tion upon which the body of general high school education is built. In making this preparation, it is necessary to follow definite plans in the study of the subjects of reading, writing, arithmetic, spelling, his- tory, hygiene, geography, nature study, music, drawing and physical education. However, these are not all begun as special subjects in the first grade. Since reading is the avenue thru which the greater part of knowledge is gained, due emphasis is placed on it in the first three grades. It is the most wide-reaching acquisition made by the child in school. The experiment of the County Board of Education in furnishing sup- plementary reading to the second, third and fourth grades of some schools has met with great success. One of the most important benefits derived from this plan has been the added interest in the reading work. This interest has created in the child a desire to be able to read well and with understanding, so that he may enjoy the stories for himself. This plan has lead to an increased effort on his part to become a proficient reader. Word and phrase study have kept pace with the teaching of poetry, lib- rary reading and dramatization. The elementary grades of Avon, Avon Lake, Grafton, Brownhelm, La Grange and other schools have given ex- cellent entertainments consisting of plays, pageants and operettas. School is made interesting these days. Our fathers and mothers who studied the three R's many years ago Wlould not recognize the same subjects as they are being taught today. School efficiency keeps pace with the pas- sage of time. The elementary grades have the privilege of using the school gym- nasium for their physical education, games and various team practices. Basketball, football, baseball and volley ball teams are organized in a large number of schools. Every pupil has one hundred minutes of super- vised physical education Work a week, and many of the schools are splen- didly equipped to take care of this activity. School activities are not con- fined to athletics alone, however, as spelling contests, music memory con- tests, literary societies, bands and orchestras are other forms of pursuits. Many of the grades have organized class officers and send representatives to the school student council. Nature study hikes are taken in a few schools, and the time is spent in identifying birds, flowers, trees, weeds, mosses and ferns. Preliminary sltudly lgf these phases of nature study are held tin the class room preceding t e i e. Field trips are also taken in the interests of agriculture and hygiene Agriculture trips are taken to judge cattle, learn how to prune trees study grafting, and learn to select the best varieties of fruits and vegetables Inspection of milk dairies, fiy and mosquito breeding places are made in Inspection of milk dairies, fly and mosquto breeding places are made in 1.1 I E, l H I 'KAI' iffnilfiwi - g i H1111 One Hundred and Eighteen I X I QL '--'I"Q'1Isf'e"I"-Q lE.ll fi ll ic 55 . .

It is the business of the Attendance Officer not only to encourage I reguiar attendance, but also to instill in the I minds of the parents of the boys and girls the value of education as provided in our public E school.

Within this year another publication, The Avon Booster, was launched in Avon, under the direction of E. R. Johnson, principal. This new student activity was at once approved by the other high schools but the cost at first oHered a severe setback. However, a plan was finally worked out, on a county basis, whereby one half of each monthly issue of a school's paper was taken over by the county, it being the same in each publication in the county. This section is changed each month and contains only items of general interest. The cover and additional pages are edited by each school in the system, thus giving each paper that local color and form necessary to assure its success. Under this plan, and within two years' time, thirteen school papers were developed, bringing the total number up to fifteen for the county. When so many people become interested in one topic, as the publishing of a high school paper, a desire is felt to meet and discuss common prob- lems. Two such meetings of the staffs have been held, one at Avon Lake and another at South Amherst. These meetings were addressed by men of note in the newspaper field. Moreover, a fine banquet and social time was enjoyed by all present. A permanent organization was effected, to be known as the Lorain County Hi-Press Club. This brought to Lorain County the distinction of having the iirst county organization of this type in the United States. Below is found a summary of our publications with a short sketch of each. The Purple and Gold-Grafton High School. Editor, Pearl Woodings. Business Manager, Lucius Bartlett. The name of Purple and Gold, together with our emblem "The Pillar" was presented by our student council and unanimously chosen. We have the loyal support of over 300 subscribers. The Henrietta Hub, Henrietta High School. Editor, Grace Dudley. Business Manager, Kenneth Pietch. The "Hub" seemed appropriate as a name for our paper because the school is the center of our activities. The various departments of our paper have been called the "spokes," the community news encircling all, the "Rim." The Avon Booster, Avon High School. Editor, Virginia 'Williams Business Manager, Eugene Hubbard. This name has always been signi- iicant of our publication. Our first issues were devoted to the purpose of centralizing our schoolsg now since this is acccomplished we will continue to boost our school and community. The Belden Bugle, Grafton Twp. High School. Editor, Donna Rogers. Business Manager, Raymond Pomeroy. A name chosen from many sug- gested, as best suited to our publication. By it, our school life is reflected to the community, bringing a closer union and a better understanding to the minds of our 150 subscribers. The Spectrum, Avon Lake High School. Editor, Winifred Jaycox. Business Manager, Viola Knipper. Depicting the various colors of school and community life. This paper helps to put across our varied and up-to-date school program. With a united community, a worthwhile school System may be developed. Continued on Page 150 vm o c si-.. HN.

The above is at least within gun-shot of a quotation. And do you remember that when you were a small boy or a small girl the ice cream was made so much better than it is now, that the second dish tasted even better than the first? Maybe you are beginning to Wonder what all of this has to do with oratory and readings. For you, it really hasn't much to do. For your father-and your mother-it is a sort of a challenge. We think that the quality of the work in this line in Lorain County is remarkably fine. So, when you think of the old speaking days with some of the fine pro- ductions of the time-and they were fine-we know that even with these memories for comparisons you will find the present day Work of our boys and girls good The readings compare favorably with those heard on the Chautauqua platforms They show careful selection and long practice.

The Other Side of the Japanese Question CFirst Placej Lelia Pippert, South Amherst. Must we fight Japan? This question has been asked time and again throughout the entire land for the last ten years. Do we want to fight Japan? If we prepare for war, war is what we shall have. For does not the Bible say-"As ye sow, so shall ye also reap?" The whole world de- sires peaceg does not the League of Nations and World Court indicate this? Must we fight Japan? Let us consider the question from the stand- point of the five chief influences which demand peace at the present time. Certainly, the most conspicuous one is the widespread disgust concern- ing the idea of using war as a means of getting results. Every American realizes that the cost of the World War was out of all proportion to any resulting benefits. Five years ago this statement would have been treason, today it is an axiom. That this same sentiment is shared by Japan is shown in their sending Tsuneo Matsudaira, their ables diplomat, to Wash- ington to promote peace ful relations between the two countries. Mars, the war god seems to be reaching his clutching hand out toward us. Is Mars going to swallow Japan and America, our great country, as Saturn swlallowed his children? Surely the people of the United States do not wish it, and Japan has the same sentiment. The second influence is the rapidly growing solidarity of intellectual classes of the world, and their concerted efforts to anticipate international crises and block them by open debate and publicity. In this movement, the intellectuals of Japan play a worthy part. A third influence is the shaky financial condition of the whole world- Japan in particular. No country, however wealthy can enter a war and in the end lose nothing. No country by itself or allied with other nations can afford war. Look at Germany today! What is she? Merely a scene of desolation. Her money in value amounts to a mere nothing, while her life is a struggle for existence. Germany has debts, heavy debts which she One Hundred and Fifty-Foufr fa a sement HE, M 5 lu QE 5 S -llIllfC5ul42IIIb'lIP'l cannot pay Therefore her innocent people suffer Japan is looking to us for guidance. Oo you as citizens of America desire to see our little brother of the Orient suffer like Germany? Now the fourth infiuence is the commercial phase. Japan's new in- dustrial system depends upon the United States for most of its raw ma- terial and special machinery. Few Americans realize that for some years to come this is the strongest deterrent to war. By far the largest and most profitable industry of Japan is the pro- duction of raw silk. In 1919 the exports amounted to S310,873,820. Of this immense total, the United States purchased 96Wn. Add to raw silk the various forms of silk goods and you find that in the same year we bought more than 87W of the amount produced by them. Naturally Japanese silk producers and manufacturers are not to be found among those clamoring for war. Now the other phase-At present, Japan is woefully dependent upon for her supply of semi-finished iron and steel, as well as for engines and machinery. Look again at the figures of 1919. Japan bought 55120,- 000,000 worth of these commodities of which we furnished 8096. All this indicates that Japan's new industrial life is closely bound up with our own. Buying from, and selling to us, stimulates an interest in maintaining friendly relations with the United States. We find this to be a fact, they are steadfastly opposing thevarious infiuences which tend to make for ill feeling and war. As to the fifth and last iniiuence, we speak of Janan's pretensions and horrors of war. Baron Kikuchi, former Minister of Education and presi- dent of Imperial University of Kyoto said: "There is some misunderstand- ing in America about our pretensions! We are supposed to stand forth as champions of East against West. We make no such pretension. Our ambition is to act as interpreter between the East and West. We can do more to make them intelligible to one another and lessen race antagonism than any other nation. We believe that our peculiar location, where the two great streams of civilization are in closest contact, gives us an ad- vantage in harmonizing the good of each." As to the horrors of war--take the scent of the battlefield-dead men and horses heaped up by thousands lay putrefying-the screaming of shot and shell mingling with the moaning of the wounded, trenches half-filled with water, mice and rats. Think of the devasted regions, babies torn from their mothers' arms, and children without home, parents or food. When the call to arms was heard, who did not shudder? No nation that looks into the future and sees wrecked humanity and ruination can ever advocate war. Japan needs our aid, and we are broad-minded enough to consider the great principle and not the petty ones- "Then let us pray that come it may As come it will for a' that That Sense and Worth o'er a' the earth . It's comin yet for a' that That man to man the world o'er Shall brithers be for a' that." ,yi as 'n ls 11 '1 5 . ,wi fill llzi ill. 531' Wy 13413 .,i life qw. .i 'I If I , I l.

David and Jonathan! We know them not for whatthey did, but for what they were. Perhaps no earthly friendship was ever more beautiful than theirs. No multitude of ac- quaintances can compensate for the loss of a single friend, for an acquaintance is to a friend what the icy splendor of a star is to the glorious warmth of the sunshine. In times of sorrow and disappointment, only the hearty grasp of a friendly hand, and the cheery ring of a friendly voice, can fill the loneliness in our hearts. To the world in general, we go about with inscrutable countenances, conceal- ing our true feelings behind a mask of pride or indifference can reveal our true selves. Here we know that we shall not meet with rebuff, shall not be misunderstood and shall not be unappreciated. The greatest souls of all times confess that their lives have been moulded and guided to a far greater de- gree by personal association, than by any other single influ- ence. There are countless examples in the pages of history of perfect and enduring friendships which have sprung up be- tween the great men of the past. The ravages of time may sadly dim the glory of the deeds of these men, and the passing years may blot out the fast fading remembrances of their claims to greatness, but the vision of their whole-hearted, de- votion to each other shall shine with undimmed splendor through all the ages, and shall never be forgotten so long as there exists in the world 'an appreciation of the true nobility of the soul. We should be careful, however, in the choosing of our friends for false friends-like our shadows, keep close to us in the sunshine, only to leave us with the first cloud. Many people use the disguise of friendship in order to procure for themselves some advantage, financially or otherwise. The real friends, for false friends-like our shadows, keep close to us very often our troubles are lessened by the sympathy and un- derstanding of a kind friend. The old proverb "A friend in need is a friend indeed" has been proven many times Gertrude Kalter Rldgeville Schools 1 4 l 5 I -yer ' l I 4 I 1 l I I I ! and it is only in the confidence of a mutual devotion that wg , I rm i li' El l . .

JVM Introduced pleasingly and chaperoned amply by Mr. Meyers, debate made its debut this year in a series of con- tests involving nine of the County High Schools. It was another case of the "eternal triangle," with the exception that there were three triangles in place of the customary one. The three corners of Triangle One Were Avon, Avon Lake and Ridgeville. Each affirmative team Won in the contests, but when the "percentages" Were added to the "points," Avon Lake came off victor in the group. Triangle Two touched at South Amherst, Grafton and La Grange. Grafton's affirmative and negative teams both won, and pulled their school through as winner in this set. T'other triangle hit Penfield, Belden and Columbia. Penfield's double victory won the honors in this group. Thus Avon Lake, Grafton and Penfield fought their Way in- to the finals. The affirmative teams migrated. Avon Lake Went to Penfield, Penfield to Grafton, and Grafton to Avon Lake. The judges retired, the musicians entertained the crowd for awhile-K very capably, by the Wayj-the judges trooped back, the chairman told his funny stories and Penfield won the county championship. Banners and a Wall plaque were passed out to the Win- ners. They say they will need another set for another big debating contest next year. We ought not to overlook the subject of the debate. It was a good one :-"Shall the Child Labor Amendment be Adopted ?" I I I-ill! I .. I 7 V A -Q 4-fig ai' gn I in V !

It gives one the power to lil l portray many characters, enabling one to see the point of View of many 5 I people. The effect is obviously broadening to one's field of understanding 5' I and appreciation. It gives one often expert knowledge of how to inter- 115. , pret, through the work of competent directors. One of the characteristics fl. needed in our varied social life is unquestionably adaptabilityg the ability, ' "lf that is, to adjust one's self readily to unusual circumstances. Dramatics 'A prove an invaluable aid in developing this particular faculty. In addition, 5 one gains ability to face an audience with self-confidence and control. The type of play given is very good. That the faculty supervisors are up-to-the-minute is shown by the fact that the one-act play has been r, R so universally accepted in all of the schools. The popularity of this type of play is comparatively recent, but it is now recognized as important as fl Y T the regulation five-act drama. 'f L1 .

Last year 'jul ll this association gave "What Happened to Jones" and is now Working on lgg several one-act plays, among them being "The Florist Shop." 5 pl Brighton has staged three one-act plays, among them being "Miss l lg Civilization," by Richard Harding Davis. The Ridgeville dramatic club i 3 i comprises 40 people, who have studied stage mechanics, as well as produced 1 plays. At Columbia, dramatics are left to the entire student body. Several f I one-act plays have been produced, among them being "That Awful Letter," F E3 etc. They are working on an excellent senior play at the present time. ' 5 i LaGrange has likewise put on an evening of three one-act plays, "The li! Flight of the Herons," "Atmosphere," and "The Florist Shop." Highland ! 5 l Junior High School places a scholarship excellence standard for eligibility Q to membership, as does LaGrange. They have given "The Real American gg, Girl."

I ill 1 T, s 1 i Moulders of Men Some are born with the gift of words, Of words that sing and swing, Of words that flit as gracefully As a swallow on the wing. The man who can make stubborn words bend to his will is very much to be envied. For he can mould the minds of men and bring light into the darkness of ignorance. All the Wisdom of the ages has been gathered by the writers into books for all of us. The finest thoughts and deeds of mankind, all the beauty and the art, have been treasured to enrich us with immortal knowledge. The man who is tired from toil may be carried away to the realms of adventure, with the whole World for a playground, forgetful of self and of weariness. He may sail the swelling seas and know the tang of the sharp, salt air, far from his work-a-day world. He may battle the cold of the Yukon, and swelter in the sun of the Southland. He may follow the trails of his forefathers, or venture far in the maze of the future. On the Magic Carpet, given by those who can vwrite, he may learn and love and live life vividly and know his fellow men. Surely, he who seeks sur- cease from sorrow, he who Wishes to forget the petty round of life, owes a debt to the writer who grants him all of this. The garner of knowledge finds from the pen of the author all the A M progress and philosophy which have come down from the minds of the wise bl men. The base of our vaunted civilization rests upon that which is stored 1 ' in books. The men who will, can drink from the fount of wisdom and take T ' a part for his own. 2 I Other writers bring to us the happenings of the world and tell of the 5 T strife of man with nature, and the war of man with man. They bring the i li joy and sorrow of mankind forth for all to see, and at the same time I mould the sentiment of a nation. 1 . The writer and his books are the great civilizers. Anyone who has f had any dealings with a small boy will admit that he becomes civilized T , when he becomes interested in readingg when he discovers the fascina- Q Q tion in a good book. Reading is second only to experience, for it is built 1 H upon the experience of others. He who reads, absorbs the culture which Q ' has slowly been acquired in the past. Q Writers write-some write well and others poorly, and a very few it write greatly. All writers have much power over human kind, and they must wisely wield this power if our race is to profit by them. So, thank the writer who can write well, and encourage him, for better books will ffg 3 help to bring about a better race of men.

"Nonsense," says the practical man, "I have lived fifty ll is years, built up a fortune, and I don't suppose I have given six hours to .5 QU music in all my life." His attitude, however, proves nothing. How much U ' richer and better his life might have been had music been admitted to it. i . "The man who hath no music in himself, nor is not moved with concord , of sweet sounds, is fit for treason, stratagems and spoils," wrote Shake- lg l speare. While this may be an exaggeration, it is nevertheless true that ,Q ,f music should have a real part in every life. The greater part of the time l ill, of most people is given to material things-to the struggle for a comfort- 9 " able livelihood. Folks, therefore, need an element which can inspire and lift the mind above the sordid things to a larger life! l 3593 The obligation of the State toward public education has been accepted , V since the time of Thomas J eierson. Almost every state in the Union has 34 3 enacted compulsory education laws. An examination of the present day lf' Q school curriculum will convince anyone that music is a part of this edu- l' I l cation. Music is no longer a special subject. The Research Bulletin of f y the National Education Association shows that music is alloted practi- f, j 5 cally the same amount of time as spelling. More than 9571 of our cities .5 5 and most of our large towns and villages set aside a part of the daily Q program for music in the grades.

A survey of this work proves, is T . j however, that our pupils are interested in music from many angles and our 3 " supervisors are industriously trying to satisfy this hunger in a versatile It g Qi manner. Besides the regular work in the grades, musical organizations T, 1 I of various kinds have been formed in the junior a11d senior high schools. E. 2 i i There seems to be an especial interest this year in instrumental music, rl ' I 5 with the splendid result that bands and orchestras are springing into ex- H . I istence like magic. . These young folks are studyng good music, too. One chorus sings . l. "Lovely Appear" from the Redemption by Gounod, another-such cantatas 5 f i as "The Building of the Ship," and "The Man Without a Country." An orchestra reports it repertoire to include the "William Tell Overture" and I g E "Poet and Peasant." l ,' l. ri A list of musical organizations to be found is as follows: high school orchestras, junior high school orchestras, high school band, high school chorus, junior high schoo lchorus, boys' glee club, girls' glee club, male 'If quartet, girls' octet, elementary school chorus, violin quartette, and kitchen 4 kabinet orchestra. The following list of operettas which have been given l VW recently in the county furnishes a splendid list for future reference: Love l U 'gi f i Pirates of Hawaii, Windmills of Holland, Miss Cherry Blossom, The Maid and the Middy, Patricia, Miser's Dream., 'Crimson Eyebrows, C6TIege Days, got?

Up to this time it has been mostly confined to several of the larger schools Where the size of the student body and building facilities warranted. However, with the centralization of schools over the county and the advent of so m-any new school buildings with modern gymnasiums, the above conditions have changed so that now there is a county Wide interest in athletics with practically every school competing. Some of these schools were members of the Ohio High School Athletic Association and were bound by its rules, While others had no hard and fast rules by which to govern themselves. The need of some organized control was quite evident and resulted in the formation of a County League for the school year 1923-24. This league was composed of the majority of the schools of the county and functioned very Well during the basket-ball and track seasons. In the fall of 1924 "The Lorain County Athletic Association" was made a permanent organization, with its membership open to every high school under county supervision. One of the big steps taken at this time was the adoption of the rules of the Ohio High School Athletic Associa- tion as a means of guidance in all county athletic contests. Each school now knows what rules and standards are in use in the other schools and schools of about the same size are placed on an equal basis. It is gratify- ing to note that this year eleven of the members of the "Lorain County Athletic Association" have also joined the Ohio High School Athletic As- sociation, and it is to be hoped that the time is not far distant which will see every Lorain county school a member of that Association. The control of the county association has been placed in the hands of an Executive Board of Control consisting of five members elected from the principals and superintendents of the county. They hold office for two years, two members being elected in the "even years" and three mem- bers in the "odd" years. This board has authority to settle disputes aris- ing between members of the association and the control of athletics in general throughout the county. It is not the intent or duty of the county board to interfere in any wfay with the local management of High School Athletics except as they relate to other schools. Its chief aim is the promotion of clean inter- scholastic athletics, the maintaining of a high standard of scholarship among athletes, and the development ofthe right type of manhood and Womanhood among the boys and girls of our county.

This year an attempt was made by the County Athletic Board to eliminate some of the strenuousness of the game by increasing the number of players from five to six and using a divided floor. This probably tended to slow up several of the veteran teams who were accustomed to playing together under straight boys' rules, but on the whole it worked out satisfactorily and removed some of' the objectional features from the game, while at the same time permitting a game to be played which was interesting from the standpoint of the spectator. Very few of the Class A schools put a regular varsity team on the floor, confining themselves mostly to inter-class basketball. This permitted a far greater number of the girls to participate in the sport and in some cases there was a very marked rivalry between the class teams. It remained for the Class B girls to put ona race which attracted county-wide at- tention. In the Western Section, Henrietta had a comparatively easy time in landing first place by meeting each of her rivals in two games and ending the season without defeat. ln the Eastern section the race was closer as there were two teams of almost equal strength. The honors, however, were for Belden when she twice defeated the Avon girls, county champions for the past two years. This is all the more significant since the Avon girls have won 45 out of their 48 high school games in the last three years. As Henrietta and Belden were the only undefeated teams in their respective sections, the county title was decided by a series of three games between these two schools. Belden emerged victorious from this series and won the right l Q to hold the beautiful Haserodt Trophy for one year.

A I Physical training occupied an important place in the programs of the ' 5 Q junior high schools throughout the county. There were regular classes in p A I physical education which had as their aim the correction of physical defects 3 f p as well as developments of the body. These courses were under the direc- g 1 Q I tion of the various coaches and were compulsory. The exercises were I w Q O chosen so as not to exact too great a tax upon the strength of pupils of the f F junior high age. ' j In addition to the purely corrective exercises various games were used. ' p i Volley-ball and indoor and playground baseball were probably the most f T widely used. As a result of this work many of the pupils became very f 5 proficient at these games and quite a few of the schools could boast of 1 teams which could put up quite a game, even against the older pupils of the , Q senior high school. Both boys and girls took part in this type of work l up and the results in general were greatly beneficial. lx A great number of the junior high schools entered a volley-ball tourna- 33 ment which was won by Grafton while Belden came out victorious in the at playground ball tournament. . p Highland and Brookside junior high schools played out a complete t e basket-ball schedule while many of the other schools, engaging in but few interscholastic games, emphasized inter-class games. This training ac- .gg quainted the boys and girls with the fundamentals of the game and assured Q.-a QL? these schools of a wealth of material for their regular senior high teams in V' T the future. 1 A Junior High Tournament was held at Ridgeville under the super- vision of the County Athletic Board. Many of the schools were repre- 7 1 sented and considerable interest aroused. Most of the games of the tourna- 5 L l ment were very close, some requiring overtime periods. Brookside won i f 3 4 the tournament by defeating Avon Lake and returned home the proud f 5 I possessors of the silver loving cup presented by the County Association. 5 I i JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL TOURNAMENT !

A glance suffices to show that the ideal situation is one in which a proper balance is preserved between these extremes. In other words, we must train for citizenship but the youth must be able to make a liveli- hood: and at the same time We do not want mere workmen but good citi- zens as well. In pursuing this ideal we have introduced such practical coursesias domestic science and manual training. These courses are given in practi- cally every school of high school rank in the country. The accompanying cuts will give you some idea of the work carried on in some of the schools, though by no means all. Domestic Science Domestic Science, as the name implies, is the science of the home. In most schools this is directed into two fields, cooking and sewing. In some cases a separate course of each is given while in others one semester is devoted to each. The course is required of all freshmen girls. The equip- ment is very adequate in all cases. To add practicability to the courses luncheons are given teachers, boards of education, etc. Increased incen- tive is supplied by the prizes awarded for the most excellent sewing pro- duced in the class by the Lorain County Fair Association. In many places we find hot lunches supplied by the domestic science class. This excellent work provides from one warm dish to an entire meal in different schools each day. The need for this is apparent as most of the children are brought several miles in buses to a cenralized school, necessitating eating cold lunches if warm ones are not furnished at school. The cost is very small. In many places we find the Pa.rent-Teach- er Association cooperating with the domestic science department by furn- ishing equipment, cooking supplies, and in some places assisting with the preparation. Hot lunches are served at Camden, Brownhelm, Avon, Hen- rietta, Belden, Penfield and South Amherst. Preparations have been made for them in 'Columbia for the next year. All of the above mentioned schools have domestic science and in addition Brookside and Ridgeville report courses. Manual Training All schools reporting domestic science also have manual training. This is, in' reality, in most places wood-working. It is, however, supplemented with mechanical drawing in several schools. The largest class reported is at Ridgeville where 51 boys are enrolled. In most of the schools we find 10 to 15 boys on the average. Adequate equipment is provided in every case and material progress is noticeable. Much of the work is of a calibre to be proud of. It produces proficiency in handling tools, precision, patience, etc as well as the satisfaction of making finished products with one's hands Vocational education has earned and will retain its place in our progressive high school curricula if TD, iflr any :I I .ill ll' QW lui El-4 nl 2:3 lisp lil lil J' Ui JI ll M, I a + l L 'L' e '7 l I mls- .

The beneficial effect of this is self- i i 1 evident. These things supply the variety so necessary to motivate what 5 V 1 , 1 5 1 seems sometimes to be dull and prosaic material of our curricula. Some 5 Q of the most notable examples of these extra-curricular activities are those I f fi fl 1 which follow. ' f li , ,t E '-ii 1 I , ' Student Councils lg f ' With the advent of these student boards of control, advisory in most QI, E if , cases, wie find democracy introduced into our school system to accord with , 15 , our democratic government. The justice as well as the practicability of 'ff If Q this is apparent. Autocratic school systems accord not with democracies. ig but with autocracies. ' The rapidity with which they have been adopted throughout the r' county is quite astonishing. In looking over the dates of formation, We A find that Grafton, Henrietta and Columbia were pioneers in this worth- ' ' While field. Each of these schools organized their council in 1923. The -f year 1924 added Ridgeville, Belden, Camden and Avon Lake. South Am- , herst has just organized such a group in 1925. I 5? Jw These groups are composed of students. The size varies from five pg 1. mg members up to twenty-one, the usual number being five or nine. The coun- if ' cil always contains a faculty member, usually the principal. The duties reported vary in different schools. In some we find them disciplinary, aid- i I.. 'D E 'T fi' ing the school oliicials in preserving a well ordered school. Some designate .tg 5 .ly the council as an honor society, setting up standards of strict honesty in 11:5 3 1 school work and meting out punishment to the offender. In others, We ,l In 1 1 If find the Council active in arranging the school calendar, and caring and T9 , arranging for school fiances. Again, we find the aim of school neatness 11' , and assisting the teachers in supervised study and playground control. In 9 most schools this is carried on by occasional meetings, but some meet as 'g gl often as once a week. ff in An uninformed person may be skeptical as to the practicability of this g wig, type of school control, but the experience of those who work with it is ' .-'V unanimously favorable. The same deliberations over school policies which , Qui many of these councils have, quickly cures one of prejudice against it. IV si . The reasonableness of their decisions is remarkable. A wford in this con- in , .1 nection may not be amiss. The decrees of a council are mgerely advices, it gg is an advisory and not an executive body. Criticism of the idea often aris- t 1 3 gif es from a misunderstanding in this respect. Whether or not their advice 1 L- 4 is followed is left to the discretion of the principal, though as has been said before, it seldom becomes necessary to disregard it. The Keynote of this organization is the promotion of a spirit of co- operation between students and teachers. The aim of each is the same, ii vis: the education of the child. A superior school spirit is aroused by these 5 2 ff? 1 Q councils, which cements friendships and mutual understanding. 117 21.

' ' These clubs, as their name implies, have been formed for the purpose 'iff 5 of promoting interest in Latin. This project is an excellent one and is Q 1 ,, sure to bear most beneficial fruits. It is a movement in accord with the - ? i ideas of the Classical League of America Whose purpose is to create a new jp interest in the life and writings of the early Roman and Greek times. 'Q 'L ' The one at Wellington is called the S. P. Q. R. It has as its members the i 'T Latin students who are doing above average work in Latin. Besides the creating of new interest in the language, it also stresses the extending of the use of it. Avon calls its club of this type "The Roman Training 24 Camp." They meet every two weeks. Here posters are made depicting i 4 Roman life and showing our dependence on those early times for our en- , joyment. The Latin Club of LaGrange is of recent origin, 1925 in fact. xl It comprises the students in first and second Latin-15 in number. They 5 have produced the play, "The Roman School." They meet once a month. .I it The Practical Government Club j Another club growing directly out of the work in the curriculum is rim Eg? the Government Club which we find at Columbia. An effort is made in ' this connection to train the pupil for future efficiency in citizenship. is Problems which.come up either in the discusson in the Democracy Class f , I or which arise in the community are discussed at some length and to gig L43 very helpful conclusions. All of the members of the Problems of Demo- gf cracy class belong. Camp Fire Girls sr ' 1-ip f Q The name of this organization is the rather difficult one of Ta-Ta- I Pochon. This, however, when translated is very worthwhile, being "Stick- f g together." The girls are very enthusiastic over the success of the club Q l Q 6 and its benefits. They camp and do social service work as well. ' The Printer's Club fl I' ii A need that each one of us feels is being ably cared for at South Am- fl A A herst by this group-the need of putting out tickets, programs, etc. All g , of this work is done in the school by boys who are trained for the work. ji ' T 'l'here are 3 printers who have 7 apprentices. All members must be from 'Q i the Senior High School. So far this year, the club has paid for its Printing ' I Press which cost 37500. 1 g :lf F Girl Reserves fl, -,L This group is located at Wellington and is a branch of the Junior 'L gg' Y. W. C. A. Its purpose is the welfare of girls. It has 53 members all of the Senior High School. This activity is 5 years old and has served as a 3 5 ff? means of bringing girls together into closer fellowship and has fired up VT , school spirit. This is a field that seems woefully unused throughout the gif i 5 county considering its excellence and the benefits to be derived from it. it ,. ., Q R gin'-wh. -JM 'Qi v -- --,-1. 1 - - J Jr---M ------- .......... ........ 4. w PM e e.

Perhaps the most important and far reaching development in the edu- cational work of Lorain County within recent years has been the organi- j I g s zation of the Parent-Teacher Associations. It is important not so much 1 I L I because of the present accomplishments, although they have been many, Q I 1 but rather because of what such organizations mean for the future of I I I 5 education. The work is new in the county, only a few dating prior to 1920. I I I I In addition to the local associations in practically every school, there A I ! I is a County Council of Parent-Teacher Associations with which all local I ' I associations are affiliated. The Council was organized in 1921 and has ' If I been of great service throughout the county in coordinating the work of the I . local associations and in promoting acquaintance among those interested I I , in P. T. A. work. Practically all local associations are affiliated with the 3 I state organization and many with the national. The total membership I L I exceeds 2,000. I 3 I I Lack of space prevents listing in detail the activities of the individual I I I associations. We must content ourselves with the mere naming of each I I I association, giving the date of its founding, the name of its present presi- 'YM dent, and a statement of its aims and most important accomplishments.

In these schools music occupies a prominent place on the program. An outstanding feature of his work has been the development of orchestras and by combining them he has made a beginning of an all county orchestra which bids fair to in- clude every school in the county. In addition many operettas' have been given which have attracted wide attention. Miss Reynolds supervises music in the schools of Avon, Columbia, Belden, Grafton and Ridgeville, spending two days each Week at Ridge- ville, one day each at Avon' and Columbia and one-half day each at Belden and Grafton. This is the first year for music in this group of schools except Belden and while the results are not so noteworthy as in the schools where it has been given for a longer period, they are sufficient to amply justify the effort. Beginnings have been made in the development of orchestras. bpecial classes in violin have been conducted and the rudiments of music taught I 1 'inf 2 P I :I .I .IL rlq H lr mms me ss I .HL I I I I . . , y 'IL O f' out 4...

I 1 ,S 1 i 1 America's first co-educational college. .1 gh First college to grant degrees to women on the same basis as to men. if . h 1 , First college to educate students regardless of race, color, or creed. 1 , I 1 3 During the year 1923-24 there were 1773 students from 48 states and territories 11 of the United States, and 90 from 16 foreign countries. The College of Arts and . . Sciences is probably the most cosmopolitan college department in America. An unusual number of men are self-supporting. Probably forty per cent of the men earn part or all of their expenses. The alumni list number 8318, of which number 6414 are living. The total number of students who have studied in Oberlin since 1833 is 4-7,000. The college library contains 251,904 bound volumes and 210,497 unbound vol- umes and pamphlets. It ranks first in size among college libraries, and sixteenth in im' university libraries. ' all Has one of the foremost music Conservatories in the United States. The total assets of the College at date of September l, 1925, were Sl0,788,862 'i "Oberlin seeks the education of the entire man-physical, intel- ,121 lectual, aesthetic, moral and religious. It seeks an education 111 looking pre-eminently to the service of community and nation 1' -the indubitable obligation of the privileged. It means to foster the spirit of a rational, ethical and Christian democracy. 1. . . . . 1 It aims to tram its students personally to share in the great , intellectual and spiritual achievements of the race, to think in world terms, to feel with all humanity, to cherish world I purposes." Henry Churchill King, 1 President of Oberlin College since 1902 The next college year will begin September 16, 1925. Q 1 For catalogues address the Secretary, George M. Jones.

Co-educational Christian and holding high xholastic standards from the very beginning she has never ceased cherishing these ideals The following courses have always been a part of the work and have been mod- W ernized from time to time, thus making them conform to the most approved standards. Q, Arts and Sciences, Divinity, Normal Qtwo and four year coursesj, Piano, Vocal, : ' Violin, Expression and Physical Education. The college cources lead to the usual 5 degrees. Especial attention is directed to the two year college normal course, leading aim' to the degree of Bachelor of Education, the first two years of which are identical with rig' the regular Two-Year Normal Course. A full athletic program is maintained including football, basketball, and baseball. A Six County Basketball Tournament is held annually the first Friday in March. ig? The general success of the athletic program has not been surpassed in the State within the past five years by any college of similar rank. , The present total annual enrollment is over 650, distributed as follows: Arts and Sciences, 3395 Summer, 1924, 2325 Special Departments, 85. A very gratifying fea- , ture of this enrollment is that it has had a steady and healthy increase within the past five years. - fl 'l ,gr l Taking intoaccount, the limited enrollment, the character of the students ad- lfj mitted, the strength of the faculty C representing Chicago University, Princeton, Har- vard, Clark, Michigan, Vanderbilt, Virginia, Ohio State and Lehighj, and the repu- '- f YL' tation which Ashland sustains relative to the success of her Alumni, Ashland College -1- ' is Worthy of very careful consideration by those who are contemplating going to col- ..

CAMPBELL A Leading Official of the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway Company 3 , Made His Preparation at The Oberlin Business College i l l l l A little over twenty years ago A. H. Campbell was a farmer boy in one of the hill counties of southern Ohio. Like many another country boy he was anxious to succeed in life, 4 " but located away out in the country on a farm many miles from any city or town, he did not 1 1 know quite how to go about it. 1 3 He had heard of several young men who went to Oberlin for a business training and had ig succeeded and decided that he would follow in their footsteps. Little did he realize that the 2 day he made up his mind to go to Oberlin was to prove a turning point in his life and that in 3 Q twenty years' time he would be occupying a leading official position in one of the great railway systems of the country. l This sclfool has been a stepping-stone to thousands of ambitious men and women who, like I Mr. Campbell, had the energy, courage, and faith in themselves to make the effort. Young intl? people who want to be succeeding twenty years from now must be willing to make the start. "EQ The pathway of life is strewn with countless thousands of failures, men and women of good E5 ability, who lacked faith in themselves and who, consequently, were not willing to launch out ff' and make the start. The Oberlin Business College is said to be the only business college in Ohio which enrolls only high school graduates, and as a result it is a vastly better school for high school graduates ljl A than schools where many of the students have had little or no high school training whatever. 575' 52 K' , " ff' , V' A Y 'K-'fn'-1" Y "' A Y' ,'1sl'Ll::.iti4L.,:::,...,-:..J,fy4- ' 7. , , l A-3--7? .-,-f'.-,,... .. ,-.,,.-.. ,,,,,A,,,LLC y'?jxL4.E-T-Q-,f'e F!kIng Two Hundred cmd Thirty-Eight H.. ,...-... ......-...., ........l.1.. .......i. .

Q l--- '-,447 .1 ,-- , Wa, ,W , 4 p - --34' i, Two Hundred and Thirty-Nine The Cash Value of Education Many boys around the high school age feel the urge of "getting a job", and ask just what it would mean to them in terms of mon- ey to remain in school. The following fig- ures should do much to advance the cause of education among those who demand a mater- ial reason for every act in life. The cash value of a four-year high school course is S33,000. The boy who spends his four years in high school actually is earning 358,250 a year for himself during these years, while the boy who went to work after leav- ing the elementary grades earns an average of S500 yearly during these four years that he might have been in school. A college or technical education in terms of actual money is worth just S72,000. Each of these four years means exactly 318,000 to the student. The statistics have been compiled by Dean Everett VV. Lord of the College of Business Administration of Boston University. He finds that the average boy with just an elementary school education begins work at fourteen and reaches his maximum earning capacity at thirty. At the age of sixty, he has earned only S45,000, his highest salary being around S1,200. The boy who finishes high school starts to work at eighteen and at the age of sixty has earned S78,000, or 333,000 more than the other boy. His maximum earning capacity was at the age of forty with an in- come of SS2,200. The student who completes his technical course at college starts to work at twenty-two but he does not reach his max- imum earning capacity until he is sixty, but this is 36,000 and the total to this time is S150,000 or nearly twice that nf a high school education. These figures should be available to every boy of high school age that he might see the real cash value of an education, and aban- don all ideas of discontinuing school at an early age.-The "Lightning" Line.

J. V. HILL, Clothier Oberlin, Ohio "I have sold clothing in the same room to the same families for the past thirty- five years". This is the statement by which J. V. Hill of Oberlin sums up the remarkable progress of his business. The courtesy and kindly interest which the cus- tomer feels upon entering this store has added materially to the success of this Oberlin elothier and brings back alumni of the Oberlin College year after year to buy their suits from the store which pleased in the past. College men from this section of Ohio find what they want at J. V. Hill's. Novelty clothing takes a prominent place alongside of the more conservative lines and the crowd of shoppers to be seen almost any day at Hill's testifies to their appeal. Besides high grade ready-made clothing and quality tailoring, a full line of trunks and hand luggage is always available at this store. Mr. Hill has spent his entire life in Oberlin. He is a firm believer in the schools and school advertising. We believe that those desirous of purchasing presents that will please and give service for commencements, birthdays and other occasions, will find what they want at Hill's.

This company is the exclusive dis- 4' tributor of both these drinks in this district. "Certified" Whistle has the approval W of the Good Housekeeping Bureau of Foods, Sanitation and Health, conducted by the li. Good Housekeeping Magazine. Q if Choc-au-lait is a new comer to our midst, arriving in January of this year. No 'MA other drink of recent years has met with such instant approval. Already the Whistle Bottling Company has increased its output of this drink alone to 800 cases per week ntl., 'i if and the demand is steadily increasing. This drink is made from Borden's evaporated 3.5511 skim milk, Hershey Cocoa and cane sugar, with certain preservatives. lt is the first successful chocolate-milk drink to be offered to the general public. i in if Weekly delivery by truck to all parts of the county insures a fresh supply of ,- i beverages at all times and enables the Whistle Bottling Company to reduce the preser- vative content of their product to the minimum. ll ll "Quality and service alone have built up our business," is the watchword of C. A. Zurcher, Secy.-Treas. and Gen. Manager of this growing business. He has been a bottler of carbonated beverages since 1903. Other officers of the concern are John Zurcher, President and Walter D. Graber, Vice-President. These men always show 'gif' ai keen interest in our schools. Arnold Zurcher, an honored graduate of Oberlin E .

Little if any of that time is spent in learning how to manage that money after it is earned. Don't grow up Without training in managing money. Such a course is at hand every time you step into your Cleveland Trust Bank at Lorain. Let that bank become a university of finance for you. Learn how customers are counselled against the wily stock promoter, shown how to invest safely, told of the benefits of a will, and helped in home- buying and business problems. 5 Finally, you will see how the bank aids people in making trust agreements to conserve the earnings of a life-time, make declining years carefree and insure the Well-being of their families after they are gone.
