ED I TO R I A L An Anniversary It is quite proper and Htting in this 150th anniversary year of the founding of the first settlement in the North West Territory at Marietta, Ohio, that we recall the famous document known as the Ordinance of 1787 and the provisions made in it for education. The authors of this great document indeed planned wisely and gave to us of this vast terri- tory a legacy for which we should be most thankful. If the framers of this plan of government could foresee the impor- tance of public education one hundred and fifty years ago to impel them to write, Religion, morality, and knowledge being necessary to good gov- ernment and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of educa- tion shall be forever encouraged, should we of today not see more clearly its importance? Think, if you will, of the many things that have transpired during these past one hundred and fifty years. Education, in those pioneer days, was quite elementary and the gates to but few vocations, if any, were closed because of a lack of education. True, there were not many voca- tions in those early days, but they have been multiplied many times to this day and the doors to almost all are forever barred to any person who does not have a fairly good secondary or high school education. For this reason every boy and girl of these days should consider well their opportunities for getting an education and endeavor to make the most of them. C. G. LEITER, Superintendent.
