From a sturdy old two-story brick schoolhouse, long since abandoned as a seat of learning, the R.B. Powers Company now supplies prize ribbons by the hundreds of thousands for events of every description all over the United States and halfway around the world. "Our firm was one of the first in the country to pro- duce printed ribbons as awards," says the present owner, A.F. Powers. "The business was started back in 1880 by the late R.B. Powers, who first got the idea of supplying ribbon prizes at the Ashley Independent Fair, which in its day was known for its early opening date--the first one in Ohio every summer. "The plant was a one-man operation in its early days, and was down to three during World War II, but now in peak summer periods employment climbs to about 50, including a number of college students home on vacation. Regular employes are mostly local people, many of whom have been with us for years and are expert technicians in their phase of the work. Foreman Webb Welch, for in- stance, is a 25-year veteran. "We are one of the four largest companies in this business in the United States.

"California, too, has become a major market for us, and we ship to Alaska, the Dominican Republic, and as far away as the Philippines. We can't do much in Canada or Great Britain because of their high tariffs. Spanish let- tering for ribbons going to the Dominican Republic give us a little trouble sometimes, and we keep a dictionary handy to check the spelling. "We use over a million yards of ribbon a year. I think it is safe to say our employes handle two to three times that many different pieces of varying widths and lengths in a year's time. Satin and a combination of satin and silk are used for the bulk of our orders, but there are a few customers who demand pure silk. "Beside fairs, such events as horse, dog and cat shows, hobbies, stamps, antiques, flowers, live stock, track meets, school science fairs and bathing beauty competitions help make prize-ribbons manufacturing a year-around business. Twenty years ago rabbit shows were very popular, and made us a good winter business, but these have died out, and we keep looking for something else to take their place. Our production is at lowest ebb from November through March, picking up then as fairs open in southern states and hitting a peak in mid-July." In the process of making award ribbons, the desired wordage first is hand-set in brass or bronze type, which is in itself quite expensive--some of the pieces being worth as much as $1.50 each.

Actually, "gold" leaf is somewhat of a misnomer, for on most jobs a composition leaf is employed quite satis- factorily and at lower cost to the customer. Where pure gold leaf is required, all unused portions are carefully saved and returned to the manufacturer for salvage and credit. Several of the machines used int he Powers plant have been adapted to the ribbon business from other industries such as shoe manufacturing, bookbinding and automobile brake-band cutting. After printing, flat ribbons go to the sewing room for hemming and pressing. Rosettes, which are enjoying great popularity, are a special art. They require a special sewing machine for pleating the ribbon, and as high as 78 different hand and machine operations are required in making some of the most complicated designs. To meet the varied requirements of their many clients, the Powers company has added convention badges, ban- ners and silk screen posters to its production, besides handling a line of trophies. Another natural forward step would be the ticket business, Powers believes. Competition has many rewards. Every time a prize ribbon is handed out, there are two winners--the fellow who gets the award, and the ribbon maker in Asley, Ohio.

DELAWARE, OHIO, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1899.] [image] THE FIRM OF V.T. HILLS & CO. Is one of the best known and oldest in Delaware. This business was established in 1855 by Reuben E. Hills and his oldest son. The present partnership was formed in 1886, and is composed of three sons of Reuben E. Hills, who have been engaged in the Wholesale Grocery business practically all their lives. Selling goods exclusively to dealers, they enjoy a large share of the grocery trade of their own city. A visit to their crowded store room will convince one that the Delaware grocers do not need to send many orders to outside markets. The upper floors of their building are occupied with Baskets, Woodenware and hundreds of articles making up the list of grocers goods, including a large line of Teas. Among good judges this house has had for years a reputation for the quality and selection of their Teas. One of the largest stocks of writing tablets in Ohio may also be found in their store. CANNED FRUIT AND VEGETABLES Form a very important feature in the grocery trade this year, and they report a large trade in California Canned goods, in which early purchases proved a good investment. That this firm is a strong supporter of Delaware industries is proved by finding on their shelves more than -- brands of Delaware made cigars, for all of which they report a good demand. An unusual but valuable arrangement in their store is the cold storage room, in which Dried Fruit and other commodities by the car load may be kept fresh and sound through the hottest summer. The accompanying illustration is intended to show one of the most im- portant features of their business, which is their principal warehouse, located on the Big Four Railroad. Four cars of merchandise can be handled here at one time. Here they receive a large part of their entire purchases, and from here the heavy goods are distributed to the different railways for out of town orders, as the shipping facilities of our city enable them to send groceries to all the markets in the adjoining parts of Ohio. An- other building on the Big Four track is devoted to the storage of Stoneware, of which a full assortment is always kept in stock. There are two points especially upon which this house has built its reputation, First, by prompt shipment of their orders; Second, in sending their customers the goods they buy, and not something else. Retail grocers appreciate these two points. [image] AN OLD LANDMARK NO SOUVENIR or history of Delaware would be complete without special reference to the "unique" business building which for more than 80 years has stood on the South-west corner of Sandusky and Winter streets, and for all of that time has been one of the leading mercantile rooms of the city. This building is indeed a landmark, and were it to be replaced by a modern structure, the older residents would hardly know the town when they struck the corner of Sandusky and Winter streets. Although the outside of this building has remained almost unchanged for all or these years, the same is not true of the inside. It has been remodeled and improved from time to time by successive occupants, and at the present time is one of the most complete and MODERN CLOTHING STORES to be found anywhere in the country. Clothing Here is a great stock of new and stylish goods. Everything desirables for Men, Boys, and Children. Up-to-date methods. Big volume and small margins. Hats A complete hat store, All the new shapes as soon as out, and by the modern way, you save some money on your hats here. We carry a nice line of all styles and sizes of Caps. Furnishings No larger or finer line of furnishings ever shown in a town of this size. Our prices on these show the modern way of merchandising. Try us and see if not correct.

DELAWARE, OHIO, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1899.] DELAWARE GAZETTE--BOARD OF TRADE EDITION. 3 DELAWARE In the year 1808 the town of Dela- ware was laid out by Col. Moses Byx- be and Hon. Henry Baldwin. These pioneers of our beautiful city showed excellent judgment and taste in choos- ing the site for their town, and their selection could hardly have been im- proved upon. The gently rolling lands bordering upon the Olentangy River proved ideal spots for the homes that soon dotted these hill tops and valleys, and nature provided them with most admirable drainage, conducive to the health and happiness of the sturdy set- tlers. In 1816 Delaware was incorporated into a village. While the town never experienced any mushroom boom, its growth was steady until in the year 1850 it could boast of some twenty-five hundred of as worthy and intelligent inhabitants as could be found any- where. In the next forty years its growth was more rapid, and the Fed- eral Census of 1890 showed that it had [image: RESIDENCE OF MR. F.P. HILLS.] grown to a flourishing and enterpris- ing city of over 8,200 population. Per- haps its growth since that time has not been so rapid as it was in the pre- vious decade, but Delaware has grown, and also made great progress in ac- quiring modern conveniences and ad- vantages which go toward rendering it the very desirable place of residence that it undeniably is. There is not much doubt but that the census of 1900 will show a population of fully 10,- 000, and with the impetus that should be given by our new Board of Trade to the development of its natural and other advantages, the census of 1910 ought to show a population of 15,000 or more. The aim of this Board of Trade edi- tion of the Gazette is to publish to the world the many advantages awaiting to be developed that we believe our beautiful city is possessed of, and to present the great inducements it offers for newcomers to settle within its bor- ders. This we want to do in a plain, straightforward manner, and desire to avoid all extravagance in statement or description. AS A PLACE OF RESIDENCE. What can Delaware offer in the way of a place to reside to thos seeking new homes? NATURAL DRAINAGE. The consideration of healthfulness [image: RESIDENCE OF MR. L.L. HUDSON] of location is perhaps the greatest fac- tor in deciding the choice of residence. Owning to the rolling character of the ground on which Delaware is built, with its numerous small hills and val- leys, very fine natural drainage is giv- en our building lots, which adds much to the healthfulness and convenience of the inhabitants. Speaking on this subject, one of our most skillful and observing physicians remarked that there is hardly a square rod of ground in Delaware but that is susceptible of perfect natural drainage. Delaware being one of the highest places in the state, 378 feet about Lake Erie, and 943 feet above the sea level, its altitude renders its climate most delightful and healthy. PURE WATER. Our town is provided with splendid water works and system, by which the inhabitants are furnished pure water of superior quality in unlimited quan- tities. A more extended description of the works and the water will be found in another place. In addition to this water, a large number of celebrated MINERAL SPRINGS are continually gushing forth waters of great and varied medicinal virtues, which waters are freely given for drinking purposes to all comers. (An exhaustive description of these springs and a report of their medicinal qual- ties, is prepared by an eminent physi- cian especially for this issue). EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES are perhaps the most important con- sideration. No place in Ohio is pro- vided with better common schools has Delaware. Under Professor Stokes and his able corps of assistants and teach- ers, our schools have reached a high degree of perfection. Our High School has gained an enviable repuation rarely attained by schools of its class For older students, our peerless O.W. University offers unexcelled advan- tages and facilities. Full descriptions of the Schools and University will be found in the proper place. CHURCH PRIVILEGES. Our Church privileges are unexcell- ed in a town of this size. We have eight Methodist Churches, one Pres- byterian, one Episcopal, two Lutheran, two Baptists, one German Reformed, and one Catholic. Their pulpits are ably filled with eloquent, earnest and devout ministers. ENTERPRISING MERCHANTS. Delaware is well supplied with mer- chants, grocers, butchers, bakers, mar- ket gardeners, etc., who can supply our citizens with all material wants, And their stocks will be found com- plete and up to date, while Delaware prices will be found to be as reasona- ble as any. Delaware citizens pride them selves upon their intelligence and sociability, and social life in our city is most charming. ENTERTAINMENTS. A very high class of musical and literary entertainments are attracted here on account of the University, which all citizens are privileged to at- tend at a very reasonable cost. Our splendid Opera House also attracts numerous theatrical and miscellaneous entertainments. FOR COMMERCIAL TRAVELERS. Delaware furnishes an ideal home for the Comemrcial Traveler. Its central location renders it a conve- nient starting point for his various trips, the thirty passenger trains which leave Delaware every twenty- four hours furnishing abundant facili- ties for rapidly reaching all desired points. His family can live cheaper in Delaware and enjoy more comforts than in a large city, and while he is necessarily away from home so much of his time, the Delaware traveler and feel assured that his family are safer in his absence than they would be in a larger place. In connection with the water system, a splendid and efficient FIRE DEPARTMENT, Under Chief Heller, almost eliminates the danger of losses from fire. Proba- bly no town in the state the size of Delaware, has suffered so little loss from fire. The great number of hous- es built of brick, also lessens the lia- bility of loss from fire. After Health, An excellent [image: RESIDENCE OF HON. J. D. VANDEMAN.] ELECTRIC CAR LINE Furnishes cheap and rapid transporta- tion to all parts of the city. The city is well lighted by gas and electricty. TELEPHONE SERVICE. Perhaps in no town in the state is the telephone service so good as in Delaware. Splendid equipments have been put in by the Central Union and Citizens' Companies, and any house- holder can have direct connection, not only with the seven hundred local users of the 'phones, but also with all parts of the cuntry, at extremely rea- sonable rates. Delaware is a BEAUTIFUL PLACE to live. There is no more beautiful town in Ohio. Her lovely homes pleasantly located on her luxuriantly shaded streets, are unsurpassed for comfort and convenience. Rents are cheap. Houses and lots can be bought cheaply here. Delaware is a home city. It is estimated that 85 per cent of her inhabitants own their own homes. BEAUTIFUL DRIVES. To those who own a horse, and de- light in driving, Delaware will prove an ideal place of residence. Its well kept and splendidly shaded streets of- fer fine opportunities for short drives, while there are a large number of beautiful drives along the good roads raching out from the otwn. The drive down along the Olentangy Riv- er for ten miles is one that [illegible] match for beauty of scenery and pleas- ure. DELAWARE AS A PLACE TO DO BUSI- NESS IN. Delaware is the county seat of Del- ware county, which has a population of 30,000. Its soil is very fertile and well adapted to all kinds of agricul- tural operations. It is farmed by as intelligent and enterprising lot of farmers as can be found anywhere. The raising of FINE STOCK is a great specialty with Delaware county farmers, and some of the finiest horses, cattle, sheep and swine in the country are bred by them, and many splendid animals have been sent from here all over the country, and their superior qualities have made Dela- [image: AT LITTLE'S WHITE SUPLHUR SPRINGS] ware county famous. Splendid crops of grain and hay are practically a cer- tainty in this county. Our farmers are prosperous, and most of them do all their trading in Delaware. The in- habitants of the city mostly own their own homes they are generally well-to- do, and make excellent customers. They furnish our merchants a large share of the patronage enjoyed by them. O. W. UNIVERSITY. The Ohio Wesleyan University at- tracts a thousand or more young men and women to Delaware, who are resi- dents of the city for ten months of the year. This body of bright young people add greatly to the business of Delaware, and they leave quite a large sum of money annually with our mer- chants and business men. The nearly fifty members of the faculty, many of whom have families, are permanent residents, and make most desirable customers. The University attracts also many families, who come to Dela- ware to give their children the advan- tage of our superiior educational facil- ities. They make good citizens, and necessarily spend much money here. MECHANICS. The hands employed by the Big Four shops, the Chair Co., the Clay Works, Hard Wood Working Estab- lishments, the Cigar Factories, The Electric Light Works, the Gas Co., the Electric Car Line, the Water Works, and many small manufactories, receive good wages, and are free buyers of the necessities and luxuries of life, and are just the kind of citizens that the Board of Trade wants to induce many more of to come to Delaware. SHIPPING FACILITIES, ETC. The three important railways passing through Delaware, afford its mer- chants and business men excellent shipping facilities. The American and Wells-Fargo Express Companies have well managed offices here. Our two telephone companies furnish excellent service, and prove a great convenience to both merchants and customers. BANKING FACILITIES. Delaware has four first-class Banks, with ample capital to afford all the accommodations required by the merchants and business men of the town. These banks are all solid financial institu- tions, conducted by men of high char- acter and undoubted integrity. They are the First National Bank of Dela- ware, The Delaware County National Bank, The Delaware Savings Bank, and the Deposit Banking Co. A MUNIFICENT DONATIONS. MASONIC HALL ERECTED BY MR. SIDNEY MOORE [image] To the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Moore, Delaware is indebted for a handsome and substantial public improvement, which will always stand a credit to the city and a monument to its gracious donors. Early in the present year the gratifying announce- ment was made that Mr. Moore had purchased the beautiful and conven- ient lot on the southwest corner of William and Franklin street, and would erect upon it a handsome build- ing to be used as a Masonic Hall, and that suitable rooms would be pro- vided in it for the Public Library, and for the Ladies' Christian Union. This generosity and thoughtfulness was greatly appreciated by the mem- bers of Hiram Lodge, and the other Masonic orders of which Mr. Moore is one of the Oldest members, and also by the public spirited ladies who were en- deavoring to establish a Library, and the members of the Christian Union. As for the citizens of Delaware, they were all delighted and gratified at the munificence of the gift, and proud to be fellow citizens of Sidney Moore. The building was soon gotten under way, and on June 23d last, the corner stone was laid with the beautiful and impressive masonic ceremonies, con- ducted by M. w. Grand Master E.C. Guilford, of Cleveland. A large num- ber of prominent Masons from all over the state participated in the cere- monies, and lodges from Marion, Co- lumbus, Springfield, Circleville, Ken- teon and other places, attended in a body. A large number of visitors were attracted to Delaware and the city itself was gaily decked with flags and bunting in honor of the occasion, and the day was made a holiday, long to be remembered. One of the princi- pal features of the day was the im- posing parade led by the Marion Knights Templar, followed by Hiram [image: Hear Ye] Ho Ye MAIDENS, MEN AND DAMES, .BODURTHA. WANTS TO MAKE YOUR FRAMES, Within these Frames he'll put your faces, And thereby show your many graces. Lodge, and various visiting Masonic bodies. Several fine bands furnished excellent music. The building is now being rapidly finished inside by the contractors, Messrs. Heller & mcDonald, and the Hall will be dedicated about Feb. 1st. LIBRARY AND READING ROOM. The Public Library and Reading Room, which by the great kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Moore, is to oc- cupy the large east room in the new Masonic building, is the outgrowth of a Woman's Book Club of several years' standing. In the fall of ninety- seven, they took their years' books, begged others, with a small member- ship fee bought more, and opened a Circulating Library of less than a hundred volumes. When the generous proffer of quarters for a Public Libra- ry and Reading Room came from Mr. and Mrs. Moore, they offered their "be- ginning" as a nucleus for the future Public Library of Delaware, turning over to the new Association over four hundred books, and more than eighty dollars in money, thus making it pos- sible for the new Library Association to accept the offer of a room, open the Library free to the public, and apply to the School Board -- under a law passed two years ago -- for a tax for Library purposes, and thus fulfill the hope and desire of the little hand of women who made the first venture. A few months shoud see the new room attractively furnished and equip- ped as a Reading Room and Library, and being profitable used and enjoyed by the citizens, and especially by the school children of Delaware. E. M. HELLER. The plans and specifications for this building were drawn by the well known architects of Delaware, E.M. Heller & Son.

DELAWARE, OHIO, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1899.] 4 DELAWARE GAZETTE -- BOARD OF TRADE EDITION. MOST VALUABLE MINERAL SPRINGS. DELAWARE CAN JUSTLY CLAIM TO BE THE "SARATOGA OF THE WEST." HER MANY SPRINGS POSSESS GREAT MEDICINAL VIRTUES -- ARE ESPICIALLY RICH IN LIFE-GIVING GASSES. Exhaustive Treatise, Prepared by Dr. S.W. Fowler. Delaware possesses some of the most valuable mineral springs in the world, and each spring charged with medici- nal and therapeutical properties which have the most beneficial influence on mankind, both in health and disease. Many watering places and health re- sorts enjoying the patronage of many thousands of people, would be overjoy- ed with water of such wonderful ther- apeutic values as our own. APPRECIATED BY ABORIGINES. If these waters had been properly developed, we would now be unable to furnish accommodations, and if we go to work, the hundreds, yea thousands, of those who know of these waters will be our strongest advocates; for they stand ready to give testimony of the beneficial results of these Chalybe- ate and Sulphuretted waters. Long before tradition taught our forefathers about them, the wild animals could have been seen here, drinking from these springs, not only to quench their thirst, but for the marvelous influence upon their vitality. The Indian told the white man how he found the buf- falo, the deer, and the bears and cat- tle congregated here; how the vari- ous tribes came here to secure their meats while the animals visited these healthful waters, and then how the different tribes finally pitched their tents in the valleys and hills along the Olentangy River and the Delaware Run. They were wont to relate to the white frontiersman the marvelous benefits the old and the young derived from the waters. They fully appreci- ated that these mineral springs pos- sessed something far better, more pure and greater than the other waters in the river and streams, as well as other springs in other localities. GREAT MEDICINAL QUALITIES. The white pioneer soon learned also that these springs [illegible] which made them better than other waters, and located near them to enjoy their health-giving proper- ties. He, too, saw with surprise, ani- mals, both wild and domestic, seeking these springs, and only stopped com- ing to them when they were shut out by the fences. For over half a centu- ry, thousands of people annually fol- lowed the same law and instinct, not fully appreciating the medicinal pow- er in these mineral waters, until some years ago, when a few enterprising and progressive citizens connected with the University and city, believed that these waters contained valuable medicinal agents of great value to hu- manity, and possessed by but few mineral springs in the world. Acting upon their belief, they had them anal- yzed. The analysis proved that each and every mineral spring possessed medicinal qualitites of uncommon and beneficial influence to mankind. This wonderful revelation made by them proved that the waters were not only similar, but far superior to many oth- ers whose fame had spread far and near. These white and black and sa- line sulphur and chalybeate springs in this locality are far superior in every respect to many in this and foreign lands. The analysis has proved that our sulphur springs are better and stronger than those of Virginia, where thousands visit annually. They are better, and possess more valuable in- gredients than those of Pennsylvania or Colorado. The temperature of springs, as well as the waters charged with certain medicinal agents, render them more or less valuable for thera- peutical purposes. As a rule, spring waters have a temperature of 33 de- grees. When the temperature is high- er than 36 degrees, they are known as thermal springs. These are often of more or less value independently of the power of the water to dissolve mineral substances and the gases they contain. Yet when a spring is ther- mal, and contains the important gas- es, and holds in solution valuable mineral agents, they become of far greater importance to mankind. Such are the springs in this locality. Our suplhur springs have a tempera- ture of 60 degrees, and the chalybeate springs 56 degrees, while the famous Wildsbad Spring of Germany has a temperature of 61 degrees; the Clifton, of New York, 54 degrees; Carlsbad, 131 degrees; The Warmbrunn, Ger- many, 68 degrees; the Hot Spring of Arkansas, 90 degrees to 108 degrees; and the Great Guyser of Iceland, 180 degrees. COMPOSITION VARIES. The composition of mineral waters varies according to the strata through which the water passes, as well as to the pressure and previous composition under which it is in contact with the deposits. Waters vary in composi- tion in the same locality, yet comes to the surface in close proximity to each other, as is witnessed in this locality. We see the same condition at Sarato- ga, New York. Coming by pressure to the surface, these waters are found [illegible] therapeutical values one from the other, and yet each and ev- ery one possessing rare and valuable medicinal virtues. When we have thoroughly drilled down into the great mineral strata below us, and thus carefully developed other springs, and we may say, properly located them, there will be no reason why they will not be sought after for drinking and bathing purposes, and the curing of all forms of diseases equal to, if not far more, than those in other localities of less value. RARE MINERAL COMBINATIONS. The rare mineral combinations so universally present in these mineral springs, and with which we should have been more deeply interested, are not so different from those whose wat- ers have cured many diseases, and giv- en happiness to many individuals. The oxygen, nitrogen, carbon diox- ide, carbonate and bicarbonate of so- dium; the sulphate and chloride of so- dium; the carbonate and bicarbonate of calcium; the different forms of iron combined and re-combined by nature's law, are of the highest therapeutical value when properly used. The classification of mineral waters is exceedingly difficult, yet all are based upon the predominence of some certain constituents, or constituents imparting to them certain medicinal and therapeutical values to be used in different diseases or in various ways. The special or principal constituent giving the peculair character to the mineral waters, acting as a cathartic or as a laxative, is the bicarbonate of mangnesia and bicarbonate of soda, and the chloride of sodium. The ton- ic mineral waters contain bicarbonate of iron or oxide of iron. The altera- tive mineral waters contain iodide of sodium and chloride of potassia and sodium. The diuretic properties of the mineral waters depend upon the bicarbonate of lithia and protox- ide of hydrogen. It will be well to re- member this when studying and dis- cussing the qualities and uses of our mineral waters. [image: FAMOUS WHITE SULPHUR SPRING ON THE UNIVERSITY CAMPUS] LIFE-GIVING GASES. That the carbonic acid gas, sulphur- etted hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen are the life-giving principles of all our mineral springs, we can no longer doubt. They contribute to the solu- bility of the salts contained in the waters, and render them more palata- ble and more agreeable to the stom- ach. The perfect solubility of these salts enhances the great medicinal power of the mineral waters, and hence are more valuable for drinking and bathing, and curing of diseases. Once let the gases be driven off or es- cape, and the water evaporated, and we will find it will take more than ten times the amount of rain water to re- dissolve them. The absence of these gases in the strongest iron springs of Europe render them worthless, or nearly so. When comparing our springs with many others, we find a much larger amount of gases in them, thus mak- ing them of the highest benefit in cur- ing diseases and for every day use. It seems useless for us to discuss these gases further, but before leaving them, we will say they seem to travel thrugh some of the springs and escape, while in the case of the springs in this lo- cality, they are most thoroughly and firmly impregnated with them. LAXATIVE QUALITIES. While many famous mineral springs contain bicarbonate of magnesia, which acts as a laxative and an antac- id in some stomachs, our springs con- tain not only the same, but added to it is the sulphate of magnesia and chloride of sodium, acting more mild- ly and safely as a laxative and cathar- tic as well as correcting the "sour stomach," especially seen in those ad- dicted to the use of alcohol, and those, too, who overindulge in eating at un- usual hours. By using these waters the "heartburn" and sick headache soon disappear. They start the torpid liver, and arouse the intestinal inac- tion. The medical profession well know and highly appreciate the use of the carbonate and bicarbonate of so- dium, found so abundantly in our springs, and can tewstify to their won- derful and highly beneficial influence as medicinal agents, especially in cor- recting the morbid secretions of uric acid. BENEFICIAL IN RHEUMATISM. As found in the waters of our springs, the acids hold in solution al- buminates, the phosphates, &c., ren- dering them thus highly beneficial in all forms of rheumatism. With little labor, many valuable testimonials could be furnished giving proof of re- markable cures in this disease. When used for bathing and drinking the ef- fects have been far more rapid. TONI WATERS. The Chalybeate springs, known as the Lenape or Hills' springs, furnish one of the best tonic waters in the country. The iron contained in the waters, when taken into the body, builds up the red corpuscles of the blood, stimulates the appetite, and enriches the whole body. That most important agent so demanded by the whole animal creation, chloride of so- dium, or common salt, is abundantly found in the chalybeate springs, and in each and every one of our springs. Every physician can testify how this agent increases the solubility of the albumen of the blood, and pre- vents the rapid destruction of red corpuscles. It stimulates the secretion of gas- tric juice, increases the flow of bile, and the more rapid interchange of fluids in the body, called, osmosis, [illegible] of the kidneys; there are in- creased secretion and excretion of urine. We dare say, the remarkable influence salt has on the body we can- not estimate until we have used the water so remarkable supplied with them. The only method of proving their action is by carefully watching and recording the therapeutical effects on the patient. The same is true of all the waters. The effects have been watched and recorded, and many are ready to give testimony of astonish- ing and bewildering results. Chemical analysis fails to decide the exact medicinal effects, independently of the careful and faithful observa- tions of the beneficiary. The afflicted who have used and been benefitted, al- ways furnish the best and most relia- ble evidence. Blessed as we are now with many dierent mineral springs, and of the very highest medicinal virtue, we can by systematic drilling develop many more equally as good, if not better, and at the same time locate them so that sanitariums, hotels and bath houses can be erected with great ad- vantage, to accommodate those wish- ing to come here for pleasure and treatment. SARATOGA OF THE WEST. The Odevene spring will always be of vast commercial interest, as the water is finding an unlimited demand. It is shipped in large amounts to va- rious parts of the country, and is having a growth never dreamed of by the citizens of Delaware. The steady development of the Saratoga springs has been going on until now they have world-wide renown. What has been done there can be done here, and we venture to say should have been done long before this. Let five to ten wells be drilled in the most pleasant parts of the city, and soon we will see hotel and sanitarium ac- commodations made for the large number resorting here for health and pleasure, and many as permanent cit- izens, to use the waters, and will see our population doubled in ten years. The first spring at Saratoga was discovered in 1767, "The High Rock Spring," by Sir Wm. Johnston. Tra- dition tells of the Indians using from it long before this. The Congress Spring was discovered in 1792. Then followed others in rapid succession, until now they have over thirty, all properly analyzed and recorded, each one possessing rare medicinal proper- ties, and which over 300,000 people an- nually visit for health and pleasure. Why should not the various sulphur and chalybeate springs of our city be- come the Saratoga of Ohio and the West? All of these springs of any re- pute are, ranging from 60 to 200 feet below the surface. With the excep- tion of the High Rock spring, all are tubed, ranging as stated above. It is the duty of every scientific and medical writer interested in our city, to investigate, write and make reports upon the history, probable origin and chemical properties, and the ther- apeutical value, and the medicinal val- ue of each and every spring. In this manner a vast and valuable fund of information can be collected for the city, and for all coming here to use the waters for various forms of dis- eases. We dare say this should have been done long before this, and the benefits would not be felt by all of us. It has only been of recent date that the Ode- vene spring waters have been brought prominently before the people, and its possibilities cannot be estimated. The reason for this rapid growth is as sta- ted before, from the properties found in the water of such marvelous thera- peutical action. It is only too fre- quently stated by the wise and unwise the learned and the unlearned, that these, as well as all mineral waters have not medicinal virtues, and the same results can be attained by using artificially prepared waters. NATURE'S COMBINATIONS BEST. The argument only confirms the benefits arising from the use of these waters as nature furnishes them to us yet all differing in power as cathartics laxatives and diuretics and elixir wat- ers, as discussed and taught in medi- cal books. The action of these same agents chemically prepared act upon the organs by irritation, causing se- cretion and elimination, while these same agents in these mineral waters are natural to the body, and acting as powerful oxidizers of the disintegrated or broken down tissues, and elimina- ting from the body by the different or- gans the waste matter. These waters, charged with important elements, again furnish the blood with powerful restoratives to build up tissue, and to cure disease. That the Odevene stim- ulates the liver secretion, and acts as a cholagogue, we have abundance of evidence. Those using it report the laxative or cathartic effects, or the more rapid digestion and relief from distress in the stomach. The gastro- intestinal irritability is relieved and cured. The dark, swarty complexion changed to a ruddy, healthy color, and the whole system, through the glandu- lar organs is strengthened and invig- orated. The weak and debilitated heart and arteries gain power and strength. The nervous system is elec- trified and set going. To give a list of the diseases influenced and cured by these waters would take too much time, and would be confusing. These mineral waters, like all others, should be used by the sick under regular and strict rules, and always under the care of a physician or nurse, who have carefully investigated their use. I dare say the medical staff of our city as far above the ordinary, and may be relied upon for instructing and assist- ing those wishing advice. Those in health need no help, but are ready to testify to the benefits derived from us- ing the waters for bathing and drink- ing. THE ODEVENE SPRING. The Odevene Spring is owned and operated by the "Odevene Spring Com- pany." It is located just east of the campus of the Ohio Wesleyan Univer- sity, and a little west of the Olentan- gy River, and at the junction of the C. C. C. & St. L. R. R. and the C. S. & H. R. R.. A company drilled this well into the rock and struck this val- uable thermal mineral spring water at the dept of 400 feet. The well is in the great lime rock strata, and the sul- phur component renders the water valuable in many forms of disease. The company have beauti- fied their well with an artificial stone basin. Their bottling works are near- by the spring, where they work a number of hands, washing the bottles, filling, lebeling and packing ready for shipping. They have arranged for a portion of the water to flow from the well, to accommodate the hundreds of people who visit it daily for drinking, &c. Over twenty thousand gallons flow from the well daily. The won- derful medicinal effects of the water have been thoroughly tested, and en- dorsed, not only by the local physi- cians, but by other leading physicians. They prescribe it daily with the ut- most confidence to those of a seden- tary habit, and those suffering from the various forms of bilious disorders. The water, containing the laxative salts, chloride of sodium or common salt, bicarbonate of magnesioum, the chloride of magnesia, induce effects that are mild, pleasant and certain, and without irritating the intestinal tract or impairing the digestive func- tions; on the other hand, promoting the appetite, and stimulating digestion and assimilation. The chloride of cal- cium acting powerfully upon the glands of the skin, the kidneys, and the mucous membrane, is an agent of great value as a curative power. The various forms of eczema, the enlarge- ment of glands are cured when the waster is systematically used for drink- ing and bathing. The same can be said of the white and black sulphur waters, as many hundreds, yes thous- ands, of people who have for these many years used them, can testify. MAGNETIC SPRINGS. We will speak also of the Magnetic Springs, properly called Chalybeate springs. The Lenape spring, owned by Mrs. C.E. Hills, has been analyzed and tested for years. The ingredients contained in these waters are of great benefit to the blood and the body. Many chalybeate springs in this coun- try, as well as in Europe, are visited for the purpose of drinking, bathing, and treatment. Those at Richmond, Va., Sharon, Pa., the Bedford, Bright- on and Cheltenham in Europe, where large numbers visit continually, speak volumes for them. Yet the chalybeate springs of our own city have nearly the same chemical composition, but in addition combine the valuable saline properties, making them of far more value as curative agents than those mentioned. That we may prove to you that what has been said is true, we will give the analysis of our springs, and a few of the most noted in this country and in Europe. OBEVENE ANALYSIS.

DELAWARE, OHIO, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1899.] 5 DELAWARE GAZETTE -- BOARD OF TRADE EDITION. MOST VALUABLE MINERAL SPRINGS, (Continued from Page 4.) was analyzed by the celebrate con- sulting and analytical chemist, A.A. Brenneman, of New York. He gives the following composition: [Temperature 60°, density 1,0040, total solid 375.11 per gallon.] Gr. Potassium Chloride............ 18.63 Sodium Chloride............... 145.87 Lithium Chloride.............. Traces Calcium Chloride.............. 15.26 Magnesium Chloride............ 55.93 Calcium Sulphate.............. 102.47 Calcium Bicarbonate........... 33.87 Magnesioum Bicarbonate........ 2.64 Alumina and Iron.............. 0.05 Silica........................ 0.37 No Organic Matter. Less the Carbonic acid and water of the Bicarbonates.......... 361.32 The important gases spoken of be- fore, and of such vast importance in all mineral waters, are in large quan- tities in this spring: Per Gal. Sulphurretted Hydrogen........ 2.924 Nitrogen...................... 5.810 Oxygen........................ 0.158 By the analysis, we see the water, as stated, is not only a strong mineral, but a highly saline sulphuretted one. This chemist further says, this sui- phurette hydrogen gas. A United States gallon contains in cubic inches as follows: Wellbach well, Germany........ 1.161 Cave well, N. Y............... 2.754 White Sulphur well, N. Y...... 0.884 Florida well, N. Y............ 3.765 Odevene well.................. 2.924 Taking the analysis of these wells, we find the ODEVENE of greater value in this gas and its combinations in the curing of disease, and as a valuable mineral water. LENAPE MAGNETIC SPRINGS. The Lenape Magnetice springs were known, like the other springs, to the Indians long before the coming of the white man. The Lenni-Lenape tribe of Indians camped in the vicinity of these waters. There are two of these springs only a few feet apart, giving a discharge of 8,400 gallons each per day. Though so near together, the waters differ materially in their com- position, as will be seen in the analy- sis. Unlike the other springs, it has a wonderful magnetic influence, mak- ing it on of the marvels of nature. Its use in various diseases has been carefully tested, and found to be of great value. No. 1 acting most re- markably on the liver, kidneys and blood, while No. 2 acts more directly upon stomach diseases and the bowels as well as the blood. Having such large quantities of iron, its use is es- pecially adapted to the diseases affect- ing the blood, or when the patient needs a tonic. No. 1 Odevene analysis is as follows: [Temperature 57°, density 1.0320, total solid per gallon 55.693.] Sodium Chloride............... 3.346 Calcium Chloride.............. 0.634 Potach Sulphate............... 1.334 Lime Sulphate................. 6.201 Magnesia Sulphate............. 0.934 Lime Bicarbonate.............. 27.421 Magnesia Bicarbonate.......... 15.211 Iron Oxide.................... .539 Silica........................ .054 Organic matter................ .004 _______ 55.695 No. 2 Odevene analysis is as follows: [Temperature 57°, density 1.0620, Total solid per gallon 40.64] Sodium Chloride............... 2.15 Lime Sulphate................. 5.12 Magnesia...................... 2.31 Magnesia Carbonate............ 12.11 Lime Carbonate................ 17.73 Potassia...................... Traces Iron Oxide.................... 0.41 Alumina....................... Traces Organic matter................ 0.81 When these waters have been used regularly and systematically, they im- prove the secretions and the appetite, relieve the decomposition of food in the stomach, and stop the eructation of gas, cure the diseased mucous membranes, and stimulates the torpid liver and intestine to action, builds up the broken down blood corpuscles, and thus stimulates the whole organ- ism. It being a strong antacid, com- bines with the gastric juices, and acts as a laxative and cathartic, and acts most beneficially on all cases of rheu- matism. WHILE SULPHUR SPRING. The oldest and most famous spring is the White Sulphur Spring on the campus of the Ohio Wesleyan Univer- sity. Thousands of students and vis- itors from all parts of the United States and the world have the most perfect knowledge of it, and are ready to give testimony as to its value. How long it has been flowing tradition fails to tell. The rich, sulphuretted odor of this as well as the five others of the same nature, can be detected long be- fore reaching the spring. The visit- ors, on the first visit, are disgusted and nauseated with the taste and odor, which is so powerful, but after a few visits they like it, and are found there daily praising it in the highest terms. Daily, hundreds are seen with vessels, drinking and carrying the water away. These sulphur springs are more bountifully supplied with sulphuretted hydrogen and carbonic acid gases than any other springs in the country. In each gallon of water can be found 96 cubic inches of sulphuretted hydrogen gas, and 36 cubic inches of carbonic acid gas. The large amount of chlo- ride of sodium, and the different forms of chloride of lime, compounded with magnesia, renders the water most val- uable as powerful antacid, acting to cure dyspepsia, toning up the mucous membrane of the stomach and intes- tines, and restoring the digestion. They start the torpid liver, and pan- creatic and intestinal action, acting as a mild laxative and cathartic. The wonderful composition of the water al- so shows great diurectic properties, many testify to the beneficial influence on the kidneys. Thus we find we have a mild cathartic refrigerant, diurectic antacid, and an antiseptic water, to bless and benefit mankind, as found in no other locality. The gaseous pro- ducts found in one gallon of water by analysis: Sulphureted Hydrogen gas, 96 cubic inches. Carbonic acid gas, 24 cubic inches.

Little springs, west of the city, containing white and black sul- phur, are equally valuable, but have never been analyzed. These sulphuretted waters, possess- ing these mineral substances and abundance of gases, can be readily distinguished from the others by the odor as well as by drinking. Those found in Europe, as well as in various parts of the United States are far in ferior to these in our locality. Those in Virginia and in Pennsylvania do not conform to those here in power or medicinal influence. The famous Harrogate sulphur spring has a den- sity of 1.01113, and a temperature of 48 degrees. Carbonic acid gas of 22 cubic inches; carburetted hydrogen 5.84; sulphuretted hydrogen 5.51; Nit rogen 2; making a total of about 36 cubic inches.

A GRAND OPPORTUNITY For Profitable Investment of Capital in Properly Utilizing Delaware's Wealth of Natural Mineral Water. There is no reason why Delaware could not be made a veritable "Sara- toga of the West," if her almost un- limited resources in mineral waters, possessing so great medicinal virtues, were properly developed and utilized. From the foregoing article, it will be seen that we have the waters in abundance and that their varieties and virtues are far greater than those possessed by Saratoga or any other one great Health and Pleasure Resort. Delaware being in the center of the State of Ohio, is readily accessible from every quarter. Our railways reach in every direction, and put us in easy communication with all parts of the United States, and no doubt many pleasure and health seekers could be attracted here. It seems certain that profitable in- vestment is awaiting the capital of the enterprising man or men who will properly develop and utilize nature's hidden stores of health-giving waters, which are ever ready to respond to a properly made invitation to come to the surface and bestow their blessings upon humanity.

DELAWARE COUNTY CHILDREN'S HOME---A CREDIT TO THE CITY AND COUNTY, AND TO THE HEARTS OF ITS PROJECTORS. [image: DELAWARE COUNTY CHILDREN'S HOME] It was in a little upper room of the Court House, where the "Ladies' Christian Union" of our city at that time held its meetings, and in the ear- ly months of 1881, that it was decided, and the final vote taken by that Asso- ciation, that Delaware needed and must have a Children's Home. On the 19th of April, 1881, the first public meeting was held in the Presbyterian Church, looking to an organization of this kind. April 27th, at an adjourned meeting held at St. Peter's (Episcopal) Church, an organization was perfect- ed, officers elected, a Constitution and By-Laws adopted, and this little life- boat of rescue was launched on no un- certain sea. This Children's Home was first or- ganized as a City Home, but soon wi- dened out into a County Home, hoping and [paper torn line illegible] and [image: A TYPICAL GROUP OF OUR CHILDREN'S HOME CHILDREN.] support would flow in equally from city and country. Its incorporators decided that its support should come from "public and private subscriptions and donations," and that it should be located within the city limits, so its children could attend public schools and churches. After a delay of many months in perfecting plans of operation, a tem- porary Home was opened December, 1881 on Union street, with ten child- ren, six of whom were from the In- firmary. Though organized in April, 1881, it was not until January, 1882, that incorporation papers were taken out. This seemed to give new life and inspiration to the work, and the Bix- by house on William street was rented and systematic work entered upon April 1st, 1882. The Board of County Commissioners assisted in rent and coal, while different churches and some individuals undertook the fur- nishing of rooms. The history of this Home for the first nine years was one alternating with clouds and sunshine. Only an unshaken faith in those having charge, that it was a God-appointed work, ena- bled them to meet and conquer the dis- couragements arising from limited means, and rented grounds so unsult- ed and illy adapted to develop aright the work in hand. In the summer and fall of 1889, the positive necessity of a permanent hab- itation was so pressed upon the hearts of the workers, that a special commit- tee was appointed looking to this end. This committee found buried in some 20 years of legislative debris the fol- lowing law: "Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, That in any county in the state of Ohio where there now is, or hereafter may be, an incorporated "Children's Aid Society," or "Children's Home," or "Industrial School," or "Industrial School and Home," or any other incor- porated society whose object is the care, aid and education of neglected and destitute children, the County Commissioners [page torn] such county, and the City Council of any city, in addi- tion to the powers now conferred upon such Commissioners or City Council, are hereby authorized, (if they deem it judicious) to aid any such institu- tion to purchase land, erect buildings, either by subscriptions with others to raise a fund for that purpose, or by direct aid or donation or otherwise, in an amount not exceeding six thousand dollars, as they deem expedient. (See Sec. 929 et seq.)" This they hoped might help them in securing this permanent Home. About the same time there was thrown upon the market the Potter Home, just north of the city, offered, too, at less than half its real value, $8,500.00, Mr. Potter having expended $20,000 in its improvement, a property admirably adapted to the wants of this increased family of little orphans now number- ing from forty to fifty. The Commis- sioners, after assuring themselves that they could lawfully give to this enter- prise the $6,000.00 allowed in this law, so decided. The additional amount necessary was secured by special legislation, and this Home, so beautiful for situation, and now the pride and joy of our whole county, was purchased by the Board ot Trustees, and deeded to the Trustees of the Children's Home so long as it was used by them for the purposes of a Home. In the summer of 1893, this Home, built for a private family, was enlarg- ed and remodeled. Three thousand dollars of this money being secured in right-of-way to the Sandusky Short Line Railway, the Commissioners again assisting with the balance of the amount needed. February 19, 1896, this beautiful Home was destroyed by fire. Fortu- nately there was carried enough insur- ance to rebuild, which was promptly done, and out of these ashes rose a new and in every way improved build- ing. This Home has always been self- supporting, the board of children from this and other counties [illegible] donations [page torn] year, with an average of some 60 children, were $4,726.07 -- with a bal- lance in treasury of $722.01.

DELAWARE, OHIO, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1899.] 6 DELAWARE GAZETTE--BOARD OF TRADE EDITION. OHIO WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY. [image: GENERAL VIEW OF THE COLLEGE CAMPUS] LOCATION. Long before the Ohio Wesleyan Uni- versity was dreamed of, Delaware was famed for beauty and for health. The rolling ground, the mild climate and the healing waters made this spot the headquarters for rest and recrea- tion for the Delaware Indians after they had been driven from their east- ern home. The first white settlers soon learned that the fame of the sul- phur springs rested not on Indian le- gend, but on established facts. Presi- dent Hayes, when visiting his old friends in Delaware, was accustomed to go each morning before breakfast to the White Sulphur Spring on the College Campus for a refreshing drink. He often pronounced this water the best in the land, and declared that the Sulphur Spring would make a fortune for the College, if the Trustees would [image: UNIVERSITY HALL AND GRAY CHAPEL] enclose it and employ a Barnum to advertise its merits. Possibly his judgment was slighly biased by the fact that this was the spring of his boyhood, and also by the fact that at this spring young Hayes first met Lu- cy Webb, the first girl admitted to the College classes. Delaware was noted as a watering place, until its reputa- tion as a health resort was swallowed up it its fame as a college town. THE CITY Of about ten thousand inhabitants, lo- cated twenty-three miles north of co- lumbus, is very near the geographical center of Ohio. Railroads entering Delaware by different routes make it easy of access, while electric cars and lights, shady streets, good schools, [image: ASTRONOMICAL ONSERVATORY] flourishing churches and beautiful homes make it an almost ideal dwell- ing place. THE COLLEGE GROUNDS Embrace the fine, rolling Campus in the heart of the city, the beautiful Monnett Campus in the west end, and the picturesque Ob servatory Park, forty-three acres in all. BUILDINGS. Thirteen substantial buildings, well adapted to their purposes, stand upon the college grounds. Our space per- mits a description of only the four latest additions to this stately group. UNIVERSITY HALL AND GRAY CHAPEL. The main building was completed in 1893. It is worth a quarter of a mil- lion dollars. It is a massive Roman- esque structure, one hundred and fifty by one hundred and sixty feet in di- mensions, four stories high, crowned by a stately tower one hundred and forty-eight feet in height. It unites under one roof the administrative offi- ces of the University, twelve recitation rooms, six literary halls, lecture rooms and Gray Chapel. This Chapel, with its magnificent Roosevelt organ, has been pronounced the most spacious and beautiful college chapel in Amer- ica. A noted educator who had vis- ited the leading colleges in the United States and Eurpose, pronounced Uni- versity Hall and Gray Chapel the fin- est college building in the land. THE ASTRONOMICAL OBSERV- ATORY In Observatory Park, occupies the most commanding site in the city. It is a handsome pressed brick building, with a frontage of sixty-two feet, con- taining a transit room, clock room, computing and library room and dome. The telescope contains a refracting glass nine and one-half inches in di- ameter, made by J.W. Brashear for exhibition at the World's Fair. As- tronomical experts have pronounced it in clearness of definition superior to many noted glasses of twice its size. It enables the student to see a far larger number of worlds than could Sir John Herschel, who delcared that 18,000,000 stars were within the range of his monster telescope. THE SLOCUM LIBRARY BUILDING Is the central structure in the College group. It is one hundred and fifteen by one hundred and twenty-five feet in dimensions, built of the famous Bedford limestone, three stories high, and fireproof throughout. The stack room has an estimated capacity of 175,- 000 volumes, while the reading room, sixty by one hundred feet, lighted from above, is one of the largest and most beautiful college reading rooms in America. The classic design, su- perior materials, scientific appliances for light and heat and air, the fine fa- cilities for preserving, classifying and cataloguing books, and the admirable reading room makes the Charles E. Slocum Building a model structure for a University library. Upon the opening of the Library Building for the use of the students, September 26th, 1898, there were upon the shelves 26,300 volumes, exclusive of unbound periodicals and pamphlets. In addition to this number, the libra- ry at Monnett Hall and the Depart- mental libraries contain a large num- ber of volumes which are available for the use of students. These books are distributed as follows: 1. Monnett Hall Library........2,589 2. Lacroix Memorial Library Hebrew and German) ......... 792 3. Department of History Library 418 4. Edward Nelson Memorial Li- brary (Zoological) ......... 62 5. Department of Physics Library 303 6. John Williams White Classical Library (estimated) ........ 300 7. Library of School of Oratory 365 8. L.D. McCabe Library (Philo- sophical) .................. 68 9. Library of Comparative Re- ligions and Missions ....... 198 10. Chemical Laboratory Library 200 ____ Total ...................... 5295 The total number of books, there- fore, available for the use of students is 31,595. MONNETT HALL, The Home for young women, is sit- uated at a convenient walking dis- tance from University Hall, on a beau- tiful campus containing about ten acres. The building is a large, brick structure, well furnished throughout. In addition to a sufficient number of rooms or suites of rooms, to accommo- date 225 young women, it contains li- brary and reading room, gymnasium, assembly room, Y. W. C. A. hall, handsome parlors and three ele- gant literary society halls. An elevator is provided, and is op- erated at such times as to remove, to a large degree, all necessity of climb- ing stairs. Every room and corridor is furnish- ed with steam heat and gas light. Hot and cold water are supplied on every floor. A large, beautiful dining room, with good service and nutritious and pala- table food, supplements the other ex- cellent appointments of this building. Special mention is made of the very valuable donation of pictures recently made by Mrs. V.T. Hills, of Delaware, Ohio, and placed in the corridors and reception rooms of Monnett Hall. The young ladies come into daily contact with representations of the very best works of the masters, which cannot fail to develop the taste for that which is purest and noblest in art. In Monnett Hall the trustees have aimed to provide for the young women who attend the University a home, at- tractive, and yet free from the cares and distractions that often attend home life. With this in view, nothing is omitted in equipment or furnishing that wisdom and experience demand. The first care is to preserve the health, and to have all observe the proper habits of living. Such regulations are [image: THE SLOCUM LIBRARY] in force as experience has shown to be essential to the best care of the body, to the most rapid progress in study, and to the highest development of character. In case of illness, the student is given at once the best med- ical attention and placed under the care of a competent nurse. It is no [illegible] for boasting, but [torn line is illegible] that with from one hundred and fifty to two hundred and twenty-five per- sons in Monnett Hall during the past sixteen years, there have been only a few cases of serious illness, and not a single death has occurred. This fact is the strongest evidence of the health- fulness of the location, and of the good sense and care exercised alike by pupils and teachers. This remarkable record as to health is due, in part at least to the out-door exercise in walk- ing provided daily, and to the opportu- nities for scientific physical culture under an experienced teacher. The expenses at Monnett Hall de- pend somewhat upon the studies pur- sued and the location of the room. The rooms are all well furnished, [image: WHITE SULPHUR SPRING AND MERRICK HALL--University Hall in the Background. comfortable and suitable for study. Room, board, light and heat cost from $3.75 to $4.25 per week. For a regular literary course of stu- dy the tuition or scholarship fee is $12.00 per term, and the incidental fee $5.00 per term, and the incidental fee charged for Music, Art, Elocution and Commercial studies. But the student who gives her time wholly to any of these special studies is not required to pay the fees named above.

The University embraces the follow- ing general departments: Preparatory Department; School of Business; Art Department; School of Music; School of Oratory; College of Liberal Arts; Graduate Courses; College of Physicians and Sur- geons. PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT. A person fifteen years old, of good [image: ELLIOTT HALL -- Gymnaisum to the Left.] moral character, and with sufficient knowledge to enter the classes organ- ized, will be admitted to the Prepara- tory Department. In admitting stu- dents, the Principal learns, by personal questions, but without formal examin- ation, what preparation the candidate is seeking, and what studies he can profitable pursue, and assigns him to classes accordingly. The Principal re- serves the right of advancing the pupil or of placing him in lower classes, as his recitation reveals his needs. Any person holding a teachers' certificate [illegible] upon the same. Three years of preparatory work are now of- fered. Young people desiring a prepa- ration for teaching can secure such special studies as they desire to pur- sue, while coming in contact with su- perior teachers, and becoming famil- iar with the best methods of instruc- tion. One can save time by entering our Preparatory Department, where he can pursue each study demanded for entrance to the College, and where he is not required to pursue studies not needed for admission to the Freshman class. Besides, young people doing their preparatory work at Delaware enjoy many advantages of the Univer- sity, associate with classmates moving toward the same goal, and feel the in- spiration of college life. For special information concerning the Preparato- ry Department, address Prof. J.H. Grove, Principal. THE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS Affords an excellent training for a practical career, and also opportuni- ties for business training upon the part of those who are completing the college courses. It embraces courses in Bookkeeping, Banking and Business Practice, Commercial Law, Commer- cial Arithmetic, Stenography, Type- writing and Correspondence, Penman- ship and Telegraphy. The curse of study is equal to that offered by any modern business college, and the stu- dent in addition enjoys all the advan- tages of the University. This depart- ment has had a remarkable rapid growth under its present efficient Principal and his able corps of five as- sistants. Many students are here se- curing rapid preparation at small ex- pense for successful business careers; while professional students are secur- ing that practical training which will insure them the respect and co-opera- tion of successful business men. The department is open throughout the year, and students can enter it at any time. For special catalogue and full particulars address L.L. Hudson, A. M., Principal, Delaware, O. THE ART DEPARTMENT Has been organized recently, and plac- ed in new quarters especially fitted and equipped for art work. It embraces classes in Drawing, Painting, Sketch- ing, Wood-Carving, China-painting, Tapestry-painting, and Decorative Art. The thorough courses in History of Art offered by the College furnish the scientific principles for the apprecia- tiion of the fine arts, and for the tech- nical work of the Art Department. These opportunities make the connec- tiion of the Art Department with the University of inestimable advantage to art students. For further information send for catalogue. SCHOOL OF MUSIC. The demands upon music teachers in the matter of equipment for their work have been greatly increased within the past few years; and, in ac- cordance with the spirit of the times, the School of Music offers a course of training which is intended to meet the most exacting requirements. In addition to the regular courses of music study offered, we invite earnest and candid consideration of the ad- vantages to be derived by a music student in pursuing his specialty in connection with a University, where art, literature and science blend, rath- er than in a music school where these great fields of culture are at best but indifferently developed. It is the aim of the School of Music to so arrange the work that students in all depart- ments of the University shall con- stantly intermingle. The collateral advantages secured to students in special courses by this plan cannot be overestimated. SPECIAL CATALOGUE. The School issues a special cata- logue, which will be sent free to any address on applicaton. This cata- logue outlines the courses of study in all branches leading to graduation, prices of tuition, boarding facilities, etc. Before deciding upon any other music school we earnestly advise a careful perusal of the catalogue of the School of Music of the Ohio Wesleyan University.

DELAWARE, OHIO, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1899.] DELAWARE GAZETTE-BOARD OF TRADE EDITION. 7 OHIO WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY. (CONTINUED.) [image: MONNETT HALL -- A Home for Young Ladies.] THE SCHOOL OF ORATORY. Under the charge of an experienced Dean and able assistants, offers an ex- tended and thorough course in all branches pertaining to the art of ex- pression. The school seeks attain- ments rather than numbers. It con- fers its degrees only upon college grad- uates, thus maintaining a standard equal to the highest professional schools, a standard not maintained by any other school of oratory in the land. It aims to fit its pupils for the large and increasing demand for cul- tivated teachers of oratory in the schools and colleges of the land; and to prepare ministers, lecturers, elocu- tionists and lawyers for greater influ- ence and usefulness in the higher walks of life. The instruction is given by principles, which are applied from the first lesson, thus making the stu- dents' work practical throughout. All attempts to make form take the place of fact, and art the place of truth, are discouraged. The exercises are pre- scribed for the purpose of freeing na- ture's avenues of expression, and of enabling the student to present with clearness and grace and power the con- victions which he holds. [image: MONNETT HALL CORIDOR.] The School of Oratory has lately been incorporated as one of the regu- lar departments of the University. For details of work address Profess- or Robert I. Fulton, A.M., Delaware, Ohio. COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS -- COURSES OF STUDY. A careful study of the various courses will show that while the College offers a large range of electives, yet each curriculum presents a strong, well- rounded system of prescribed studies. All educators advise young people not to be in such haste in entering upon technical or professional studies as to neglect the foundations of culture. Following the conviction arising from many years of educational work, and reinforced by the judgment of others, the Faculty of the Ohio Wesleyan University has not made provision for that superficial education which re- sults from excessive specialization. It insists that the graduates of this University shall lay broad and deep the foundations of general culture. Upon the other hand, the University recognizes the desire of students who have decided upon their professions, to select studies which will advance them in their preparation for profes- sional careers. Again, elective cours- es enable students who have not deci- ded upon professional careers to se- cure, along with their general studies, special training in those subjects for which they have tastes and talents. The student is expected to spend sev- enteen hours per week in recitations, and thus to complete seventeen term hours of work per term, fifty-one term hours per year, and two hundred and four term hours during the college course. GRADUATE COURSES. Our facilities for doing resident graduate work are not such as to war- rant us in encouraging college graduates to come to us for post-graduate in- struction. In certain cases we mark out non-resident work leading to the master's degree for those who have done their undergraduate work, and whose general scholarship and capac- ity for study are such as to warrant their effort to secure advanced de- grees. In no case do we grant the doctorate of philosophy for non-resi- dent work. ties. THE CLEVELAND COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS. The College was organized in 1863, under the title, The Charity Hospital Medical College. In 1869 the College became the Medical Department of the University of Wooster. In 1896, the College terminated honorable its con- nection with the University of Woos- ter, adopted its present name, and be- came the Medical Department of the Ohio Wesleyan University. The most attractive feature of the College in the eyes of medical stu- dents has been its clincial advantages. The Cleveland College of Physicians land College of Physicians and Sur- geons. In addition to one hundred beds fitted up in the rooms for private patients, the Faculty of the Medical College receive from twelve to fifteen thousand patients a year at the Free Dispensary, which is maintained in connection with the General Hospital. The vast advantage of actual practice for the acquisition of a real knowl- edge of medicine cannot be overesti- mated, and the clinical advantages of and Surgeons, and the other leading medical school in that large and grow- ing city, enjoy equal advantages in the City Hospital of Cleveland. In addi- tion to these large clinical advantages, the students in our Medical Depart- ment enjoy exclusive advantages in the Cleveland General Hospital, which is owned by the Faculty of the Cleve- the Cleveland College of Physicians and Surgeons are perhaps unsurpassed by those of any other medical school in the United States. These advantages have drawn students from other medi- cal schools to our College for the last year of their medical training. For special catalogue, write to the Dean, Charles B. Parker, M.D., Cleve- land, Ohio. GENERAL INFORMATION -- RELIG- IOUS LIFE. The University has held from the beginning that education demands the development of all one's powers -- physical, mental and spiritual. The aim of all true education is to train young people for their future lives. Hence any college which does not dis- tinctly aim at the moral and spiritual as well as at the mental and physical development of the students will fail to fit them for the highest usefulness and blessedness for time and for eter- nity. The Ohio Wesleyan University, therefore, has always aimed to pro- mote and earnest, noble type of piety. A large majority of its students are church members. The chapel services, the Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W.C.A., the Kings' Daughters, class prayer- meetings, classes for Bible study and the annual revival services provide for the spiritual needs of the students, as the literary societies, lecture courses and art recitals minister to their in- tellectual and aesthetic needs. The Day of Prayer for Colleges is a red- letter day in the college year. Relig- ion in the University is natural and unaffected. Cant and hypocrisy are almost imposible [page torn] at- mosphere of student life. The College constantly strives to develop a prac- tical type of piety good for seven days in the week and for twenty-four hours each day. The constant presentation of such ideals is of priceless value to the young. PHYSICAL TRAINING. The Gymnasium has been refitted with shower baths and lockers, and all the apparatus necessary for class exercise. It will be thrown open for the use of students at the beginning of the winter term. A number of classes will be organized, and system- atic exercises given by trained instruc- tors. The athletic field is one of the best in the country, and affords fine facili- ties for base ball and foot ball prac- tice. The Military Department is open to all young men who desire to elect the course, but the work is not required of any. For catalogue or further information concerning the University, address J.W.

DELAWARE, OHIO, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1899.] 8 DELAWARE GAZETTE -- BOARD OF TRADE EDITION. THE BIG FOUR SHOPS. THE C.C.C. & ST. L. RAILWAY'S EXTENSIVE WORKS A GREAT BENEFIT TO DELAWARE. LOCOMOTIVES, PASSENGER COACHES AND FREIGHT CARS ARE BUILT AND REPAIRED -- INTEREST- ING DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT -- TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY MEN EMPLOYED. [image: SHOPS, YARDS AND PASSENGER STATION.] Among the largest and most active industries of Delaware, and one which probably contributes more to the financial welfare of the laboring class than any other, is the C.C.C. & St. L. Railway, or Big Four shops, now un- der the careful superintendency of the Company's skilled Master Mechan- ic, Mr. Mason Rickert. These shops cover a large space of ground just north of Central avenue, and east of Lake street, and comprise eight separate buildings, each depart- ment being separated from the others in such a manner as not to interfere with their respective duties, and at [illegible] direct communi- cation for the convenient interchange of labor and material. The main building, a large brick structure, contains the four depart- ments, Machinery, Boiler, Smith and Tin, besides the engine room, con- taining two immense boilers, which furnish the propelling power for the heavy machinery, as well as steam heat for all the shop buildings and the passenger depot. THE MACHINERY DEPARTMENT, which is under the direct supervision of Mr. M. Anderson, the courteous General Foreman, and his two able as- sistants, Messrs. Fred Lugger and Jas. Fahey, with its many whirling wheels, huge machines, and clatter of hammer and chisel, always presents a scene of activity. Here locomotives are be- ing built, overhauled and repaired constantly, the most interesting case in hand at present being the building of a new locomotive, which, when it makes its debut in the course of ten days or two weeks, will be known as engine No. 122. The engine is a credit to those in charge of the work, and is expected to make very fast time with a heavy train. No. 122 will be an 8-wheel passenger engine, with 58- inch boiler, cylinders 18 x 24 inchees, and driving wheels 5 ft. 4œ in, in di- ameter. It will be fully equipped with automatic couplers and air brakes, a No. 9 Monitor and a No. 9 Mack in- jector, and the latest pattern of the Nathan Triple-feed lubricator. In ad- dition to the above, the engine will be equipped with the Curtis automatic sanding apparatus, and an automatic air bell-ringer, both of which are op- erated by a simple "turn of the but- ton" by the engineer from his seat in the cab. In this department the air brakes of all classes of equipment, so necessary to the safety of employes and the traveling classes, are looked after by competent hands who are required to pass an annual examination in order to hold the position. Car and locomo- tive wheels are changed, bolts cut and threaded, brasses turned up, and heavy pieces of iron and steel planed, bored and made ready, each for its particular use. Passing to the next room, we come to THE BOILER DEPARTMENT. where, under the supervisiion of fore- man Chas. Kraus and his assistants, huge boilrs and fire boxes are prepar- ed for the locomotives, two large fire boxes being under curse of construc- tion at present. In this department smokestacks of locomotives and count- less numbers of boiler tubes or flues are being prepared for use annually. Passing on around, we find conve- nient to this department, [image: MASON RICKERT, MASTER MECHANIC] THE BLACKSMITH DEPARTMENT, where, under the direction of foreman Frank Peck, we find men busy with hammer and sledge, converting shape- less masses of iron and steel into most essential parts of both cars and loco- motives, as also doing all the general work known in the art of smithing. An especially interesting sight in the evening are the red-hot furnaces, and the smiths handling and welding the large locomotive frames, each weigh- ing 3,000 pounds, and putting them in readiness for their respective purposes. In this same building we find THE TIN AND PIPE FITTING DE- PARTMENT, under the direction of foreman Fred Heilman, where the men are busily engaged in the manufacture of lamps, buckets, oil cans, torches, packing, etc., and also doing a general line of repairing and refitting. THE COACH DEPARTMENT, under the management of foreman Ja- cob Eichhorn, occupies three separate buildings. Here the parlor, coach, baggage and mail cars, after a number of months' service, are brought to be overhauled, cleaned, all defective parts removed and replaced by new, and the cars put in first-class condi- tion, a number of them being practi- cally new when they are again allowed to leave the shop for service. In one building, the planing, match- ing, mortising and metal cleaning and polsihing is done; while in a second building the fitting and erection of work is going on; and in the third the overhauling and repairs to the trucks of cars is done. Locomotive pilots and cabs are also made in the former of these buildings. And in connection with this is the UPHOLSTERING DEPARTMENT, where, under the direction of foreman H.G. Thomas, the chairs, cushions, and backs and seats of parlor cars and coaches are made as comfortable as possible for the traveling public. In this department engine and caboose cushions are also made; curtains of all classes of equipment cleaned and repaired, and plush, after becoming worn and travel-stained, is dyed and again made presentable by the steam process. After leaving the hands of the repair men and the upholsterers, the cars are turned over to THE PAINT DEPARTMENT. Here, under the supervision of fore- man Chas. Becker, a force of twenty- five men are kept busy at burning off- the old paint, painting, cleaning and varnishing the cars. This force puts out an average of eight or nine passen- ger cars per month, besides doing a good business in the painting of freight cars and locomotives, and pre- sents quite a hiave of industry in it- self. THE FREIGHT CARE DEPARTMENT. This department is under the imme- diate direction of foreman S.L. Farm- er, and has principally to do with the re-building, repairing, inspection and oiling of all freight equipment for cars belonging to foreign roads as well as to the Big Four which arrive at this point. An average of about five hun- [F. B. KARL, images: STOVES TINWARE and ..... HOUSE FURNISHING. This large establishment is probably the best known of any of its kind in Del- aware County.

THE ENGINE HOUSE DEPART- MENT. Is under the charge of foreman P. Egan and J.J. O'Connor. In this de- partment the cleaning, inspection and washing out of locomotives is looked after, as also the handling, transfer- ring and preparing of them for their respective service. THE LABORING GANG, Under the leadership of foreman Geo. Mulholland, act as aids-de-camp to all departments, and also serve as mem- bers of the wrecking crew. THE OFFICE AND STOREROOM DEPARTMENT Are under the immediate direction of Mr. Geo. C. Hipple, the efficient Divi- sion Clerk, and has principally to do with the clerical work, and the hand- ling of the large amount of supplies necessary to carry in the conducting of business. 250 MEN EMPLOYED. These shops furnish employment to nearly twon hundred and fifty men, and taken as a whole, are a very business- like as well as interesting place, and occupies a very prominent place in the make-up of our city. [image: ATTORNEY GEO. COYNER.] Mr. Geo. Coyner, Delaware County's present Prosecutor, was born in Vir- ginia. At the close of the civil war he moved with his father to Eden, this county, where he has resided ever since, until moving to the city of Del- [line torn] upon obtain- ing his majority. Mr. Coyner was elected to the office of Township Clerk, which position he occupied for five consecutive years. He was then ap- pointed Superintendent of the Dela- ware County Infirmary, which position he filled for four years. He then devo- ted his attention to the completion of his law course which he accomplished in 1893 by graduating from the Cincin- nati Colleg of Law, and in 1894 was elected to hs present position of Pros- ecutor. As a lawyer, the success he has achieved is his greatest commen- dation. [image: DLEAWARE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.] The first Presbyterian Church in Delaware was organized under the au- thority of the Presbytery of Chilli- cothe, by Rev. Joseph S. Hughs, in 1810, with a membership of fourteen members. Mr. Hughs was its pastor for thirteen years, and was suceeded in 1824 gby Rev. Henry Van Deman. In 1838, during Mr. VanDeman's pastor- ate, the division occurred between the Old and New School Presbyterians. In 1841 fifty-four members left the First church, and organized the Second, Mr. VanDeman continuing pastor of the former, or old school, until 1861, hwere he resigned, a ministry extend- ing over thirty-seven years. REv. Franklin Putnam was the first pastor of the Second church. he was succeeded by Rev. Joseph F. Tuttle in 1845; Rev. Charles Torrey from 1845 to 1850; Rev. G. Dana till 1852; Rev. C H. DeLong till 1885. Rev. O.H. New- ton was pastor from 1855 to 1869. On the reunion of the two schools in the General Assembly in 1869, the two Delaware churches took steps for a re- union, and in June, 1870, the Delaware Presbyterian Church was organized out of the two churches by an act of the Legislature. The building on Winter street, between Sandusky and Frank- [image: Job Printing at the Gazette Office.] lin, worshipped in by the congrega- tion of the Second church for twenty- eight years, was sold, and the united congregations occupied the First church building. Rev. C.W. Matter filled the pulpit of the First church church building. Rev. C.W. Mateer Millen succeeded him, and resigned in 1867. Rev. J. Lower was then stated supply for one year, and was followed by Rev. David Kingery, who served the church till 1869. In February, 1870, Rev. R.F. Mc- Laren became pastor of the united congregations, and resigned in 1873. He was succeeded by Rev. N.S. Smith, who remained until 1878. During his pastorate, the church building was re- modeled and improved at a cost of $12,000. Rev. A.D. Hawn, D.D., was called to the pastorate, in December, 1878, and entered upon his duties the following January, which he has ably and acceptably performed ever since. Under his charge, the church has prospered spiritually and tempo- raly, and the congregation is one of the largest and strongest in the city.

DELAWARE, OHIO, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1899.] DELAWARE GAZETTE--BOARD OF TRACE EDITION. 13 [image: HON. J. D. VANDEMAN,] Attorney-at-Law, was born in Dela- ware, Ohio, Feb. 12th, 1832, son of Rev. Henry and Sarah VanDeman; his father a native of Pennsylvania; his mother of Kentucky. Mr. VanDeman was admitted to the Delaware Bar in 1854m having graduated at O. W. U. in 1851. He served as Prosecuting Attor- ney of the county for two terms, and has had a most successful career as an attorney. He was a director and one of the organizers of the C. H. V. & T. Ry. Co., and has since its organization been counsel for that road. He has retired from active practice of law, but is yet President of the Fidelity Loan Co., Vice President and Director of the First National Bank, and Pres- ident of the Board of Trustees of the Diocese of Southern Ohio. In 1898 he was Republican candidate for Judge in this Judicial Circuit, and very largely reduced the district's heavy Democratic majority. Mr. VanDeman lives in his beautiful home on North Sandusky street, (a picture of which residence appears in this edition,) and is now enjoying the fruits of his labors of early years. THE CITY SCHOOLS. AN INTERESTING REVIEW OF THE LAST FORTY YEARS OF THEIR EXISTENCE. Perhaps there is no better way to estimate the growth and advancement of our fair city, than by looking back- ward for the last forty years, and no- ting the requirements and facilities for school purposes at that period, and comparing them with the present equipment and advantages. Progress has quietly and steadily been made. As accommodations became restrict- ed, new quarters and buildings have been furnished. In the summer of 1861, "Old Central" was completed, and in September of that year was first occupied. Nothing can be said in praise of the building or location. It was simply a demand and a supply. All the children north of Spring St., to the western and northern limits of the corporation, and for some distance east over the river, were crowded within its rooms, which numbered on- ly six at first. In 1874, the wings on the east and west were built up, add- ing two rooms, and when, in '83, while plans were being formulated for the present High School, the over- crowded conditions demanded more room, the frame building on the west came quickly into existence, and ser- ved the higher grades until the High School was ready for occupancy, Jan. 1, 1886. In 1865, two rooms in a small frame house, were all that East Delaware could boast of for school purposes. The North had no building at that time. The South were quartered in three rooms of the old academy, and an additional colored school of one or two rooms in a brick building near by The North building was erected in the late sixties, the East building follow- ing soon after, and some years later, when greatly straitened for room, the South building was planned and com- pleted. There were heroic men on the Board at that time, who against adverse crit- icism, persisted in carrying out their plans in giving that part of the town the best of all the buildings used for school purposes. The wisdom of the board was long since acknowledged, and a building fair to look upon, with neat and pleasant surroundings, has for years been shedding an uncon- scious influence upon that part of the town. The North building has under- gone changes, being nearly rebuilt in '88, and since, has enlarged its accom- modations. South Delaware, too, has added rooms for the increased attend- ance. The School Board through all these years has been made up of the repre- sentative men of Delaware, who, with scarcely a single exception, have been men of broad ideas and wide sympa- thies, untiringly giving of time and thought and service for the welfare of our schools. Rev. O.H. Newton, H.M. Carper and Mr. Henry Eaton were the men comprising the Board in "65. For more than a score of years, Prof. W.G. Williams was a member of the Board, [illegible] it his culture and maturi- ty of thought, which was ever like a benediction in its influence. With him was associated for a number of years, Dr. T.B. Williams, who always had a kind word or smile for teacher or pu- pil, and whose sympathies were as broad as humanity's needs. Mr. Jas. Barnes -- with an ever abiding interest in the schools. Dr. Hyatt served one term faithfully and well, and Mr. E.E. Neff gave untiring service for several terms. Mr. Cyrus Platt, the faithful Christian gentleman, was a member of the Board a number of years, and all will recall Mr. Samuel Lybrand, who passed out of this life while a member of the Board. Those serving during later years are all well known in Dela- ware as men of character and ability, looking well after the best interests of our schools. Of the six superintendents since the opening of "Old Central" in 1861, the office for the first two years was filled by a Mr. Banks, followed in the two succeeding years by Mr. William Car- ter, father of our well known citizen, Mr. George H. Carter. In September, 1865, Rev. J.S. Campbell came into our schools from Charleston, Clark county, where he head served a few years as superintendent. The citizens who can recall the school life of the pas thir- ty-five years, know well the sure, steady progress of our schools. Mr. Campbell was a conservative man, never adopting new measures because of popularity but, instead, always looked after the things and methods which would conserve the best inter- ests of all. To his teachers he always emphatically said: "The schools are for the children," and so their good was paramount to all else. The pu- pils loved and respected him. He was firm and just, but kind in all his in- tercourse with them and; so after the school life was done, and many had found homes elsewhere, no visit to Delaware was complete until their teacher of former years had been sought cut and thanked for his pains- taking care and instruction. The last years of his life were marked with a growing tenderness and regard for friends and all connected with the schools. He resigned his position the last of January, 1891 and on March 4th following he passed from the ac- tive scenes of life here, to enter upon the employments and enjoyments of the life beyond, and where he again met those of the "lost and gone," teachers and pupils, with whose life he had been associated here. The scores of teachers that have been connected with our schools can not be mentioned here. Some have "passed on," and joined loved pupils ..SMITHS'..

Some have given long years of service, Miss Hannah M. Pierce spending twenty-two of the best years of her life as Principal of the High School, giving of the best things of her noble Christian nature to her pupils, taking the deepest interest in their temporal, intellectual and spirit- ual welfare, is still in another sphere of Christian work for the benefit of others. Miss Eliza Grove was an un- tiring, enthusiastic, thorough teacher for many years, always giving the best of herself, and gaining the love and esteem of her pupils. Mrs. M.A. Car- der has taught many years, and is a very successful teacher in the Primary grade. Of those giving years of faith- ful service, may be mentioned Miss Ginevra Humphries, so capable in drawing and music, and who for many years gave instruction in writing. Al- so Mrs. Drake, Mrs. Widman, Miss Crickard, Miss Pratt, Miss Palmer, Miss Oldham, Miss McCann and Miss Latham and Miss Estill have good time-serving records. Mrs. M.J. Pow- ers, the pioneer teacher, is filling out her thirty-fifth year in the Primary Grade. Mention should be made of Miss Wharton, long connected with the schools, gentle, refined, and every Christian, almost gave up her life in the school room, living but a few days after resigning. Good mention might be made of every teacher, but there is not time nor room. Their works tes- tify of their ability and faithfulness. The pupils of our schools are in all parts of our broad land, and some in the far-off lands beyond the seas. Many business men of our town were former pupils, and some in many plac- es are occupying high positions. The influence of our schools will last for- ever. May it ever be for the highest good of all coming within its power. [image: EDWARD T. HUMES.] The subject of this sketch is strict- ly a Delaware county boy, born in Brown township, March 7,1872.

DELAWARE, OHIO, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1899.] 14 DELAWARE GAZETTE -- BOARD OF TRADE EDITION. BEAUTIFUL OAK GROVE CEMETERY [image: ENTRANCE AND SUPERINTENDENT'S HOUSE AND OFFICE.] The Cemetery is situated on South Sandusky street, and was purchased by a committee composed of Dr. R. Hills, Benj. Powers, James Eaton, D. F. McCullough and C.C. Chamber- lain in the year 1850. On July 13, 1850, articles of associa- tion were adopted and signed by R. Hills, C.C. Chamberlain, D.F. Mc- Cullough, James Eaton, B. Powers, T. W. Powell, R.N. Jones, Geo. F. Stay- man, C. Hills, C. Platt, E. Moore, S. Rheem, A.A. Welch, Hosea Williams, and S. Littell; and on August 10, 1850, by Geo. W. Campbell, George Little, W.s. Little, M.L. Griffin, G.W. Stark, H. VanHorn, Asahel Welch and S. Finch. At this meeting, August 10, 1850, Dr. R. Hills, C.C. Chamberlain, James Eaton, B. Powers and D.F. McCul- [image: CHAPEL] lough were elected Trustees of the Association, and C. Platt Clerk. This Board was subsequently fur- ther organized by the election of Dr. R. Hills as President, and Benjamin Powers as Treasurer. A resolution was adopted to organ- ize the Association under the general act of the Legislature, characterizing Cemetery Associations, dated Febru- ary 24, 1848. A Constitution and By-Laws were adopted. The land was purchased of Mr. Kinlourne for the sum of $1,550. The Board decided upon borrowing [image: VALLEY ROAD LOOKING WEST.] the sum necessary to meet the first payment of purchase money, and with which to commence improvements. They also decided to improve and dedicate only about thirty acres at present, it being the northern portion of the tract. R. Hills, T.W. Powell, James Ea- ton and D.F. McCullough were ap- pointed a committee to lay out the grounds into sections, lots, carriage avenues, walks, etc. With the assist- ance of other members of the Board, and other gentlemen and ladies of taste and judgment, this was done, and such other important improve- ments made by the summer of 1851, that they were considered in readiness for a formal deciation to the purpose designed. The impressive ceremony of dedica- tion was held in the grove in the northwestern portion of the grounds, at 10 o'clock on Thursday morning, July 20, 1851. The day was a beauti- ful one, and the concourse of citizens large and appreciative. The Cemetery was afterwards deed- ed to the city on April 14th, 1863, and was managed by a committee from the council until 1887, when the following Trustees of advanced ideas were elect- ed, in April, 1887; V.T. Hills, John W. Watkins, H.J. McCullough, and they appointed David Grinton, a land- scape gardner, the present Superin- tendent and Secretary. The present officers and Trustees are Dr. E.M. Hall, President, D.d. Beck, Vice President, and R.J. Cox, Treas- urer, all men of progressive thought in regard not only to the cemetery, but also in matters pertaining to the welfare of the city. Each successive Board has given great attention to the development of the Cemetery, and have carefully studied the general contour of the grounds, and the plans developed to bring out the beauties and hide the deformities, or make them into at- tractive features, from their singular- ity. The Cemetery contains nearly 90 acres, and is laid out on the lawn plan. The price of lots arelow, taking into consideratin that each lot sold is placed under perpetual care. This plan was adopted since 1897. A handsome little chapel is near the entrace, where the service are held, and the valut is in the rear, divided by an iron door. The floor is covered with the best quality of linoleum; seats are provided; an organ; and heated by gas. A hearse is also kept on the grOunds for removing the re- mains from the vault to the grave; the broad roads are well kept up, and the lakes have been made out of waste low ground, and in the near future it would be a good thing to drill for a flowing well, as experts are of the idea that one could be had without much expense, and it would be on incalcula- ble value to the grounds. The Trustees have a perpetual care fund. A certain percentage of the pro- ceeds of the sale of lots is placed in so that the barns are no longer an eye-sore on the grounds, and we be- lieve that our Cemetery will compare favorable with any town of the same size in Ohio. ST. MARY'S CEMETERY. This new Cemetery lies south of Oak Grove, divided by a lane one rod wide. It was purchased by Rev. Ph. Steyle, the REctor, about two years ago, and was laid off in lots 20 x 20, and about a month ago, a large, fine Celtic cross of Indiana limestone, excquisitely carved, was erected there. It comprises about eight acres. IF.. you do any driving get the best rig in town. I keep The Finest Rigs. The Finest Horses. Rubber Tired Phaetons Buggies and Closed Carriages.

[image: DELWARE HIGH SCHOOL] Another article gives the history of the schools of our city, this article presents their present aims and pur- poses. Below is reproduced a part of the last annual report to the State Com- missioner of Common Schools: Enumeration of youth between 6 and 21 years ............ 2,301 Total enrollment last year .. 1,572 Monthly enrollment .......... 1,278 Average Daily attendance .... 1,167 No. of school sites ......... 5 No. of school buildings ..... 8 Value of school property ....$165,000 No. of teachers to supply school 39 I also append items from the last monthly report of the High School: Total enrollment ............ 238 Monthly enrollment .......... 224 Average daily attendance .... 218 No. of outside pupils enrolled 26 No. of graduates last year .. 25 No. in present Senior class . 27 No. of teachers in High School 6 In American we are proud of the pub- lic school. Not only are we proud of it, but on it, next to the family, do we base our hope of national well-being. It trains for citizenship. Its business is to give the youth of the land ideals that will uplift them, and make them better citizens than their parents and teachers have been. And as we trace the history of the public school, whether in the country at large, or in our own city, we feel that our hope is not baseless. The public school is in- creasingly accomplishing its mission. It is keeping pace with advancing cul- ture. It is constantly adapting itself to the changing conditions of our broadening national life. But the school must be more than a preparation for life. It holds in its keeping, concurrently with the home, twelve years of the child's life. It must live that life itself with the child. Its training must not be simply that of the intellect. It must train the hand and the heart as well. The school must see to it that in this school life the child meets problems, intellect- ual, moral and physical, whose solu tion will make him stronger in all these lines. This is not accomplished by seeing to it that the child gets [image: HORACE A. STOKES, SUPT] through the schools on flowery beds of ease. If school life is to be a prep= aration for real life, the child must solve his own problems in the recita- tion and on the playground. He must meet difficulties and overcome them. He must learn self-control and self-di- rection [torn page] the strength of his mental and moral muscles. We feel that the schools of Dela- ware represent such a conception of education, and that parents, teachers and children are all working to ac- complish this end. We believe that strength lies in progress along con- servative lines. We care not to ac- cept the new in education, simply be- cause it is new, nor to discard the old because it is old; but holding to that which has been tested by experience and found good, we keep our minds open to receive that in the new educa- tion which proves its right to recog- nition. The best results come from a co-op- eration of patrons and teachers in the great work of training the children. For several years it has been the con- stant endeavor of the school authori- ties to enlist the interest and help of the citizens. And we feel that the closer sympathy that has arisen be- tween patrons and teachers has had its effect in making all phases of our school work more efficient. There is noticeably a growth in that self-con- trol and self-direction that makes for strong manhood and womanhood. This improvement is especially marked in the higher grades, where it should naturally come. The result shows us that education is something more than intellectual training, and that education, in the widest meaning of the term, is a result of the united ef- fort of all the forces and influences in our city that make for higher thought and higher endeavor.

Delaware possesses transportation facilities second to but few inland cities in Ohio. The various lines cen- tering here are the Big Four, the Hocking Valley and the Columbus, Sandusky and Hocking. The Big Four, which has here ex- tensive shops, yards, and round house, has three entraces: from Cleveland, 114 miles, with 6 passenger trains in each direction; from Cincinnati, 150 miles, via Columbus, 24 miles, 6 pass- enger trains; from Springfield, 50 miles, 2 passenger trains. The Hocking Valley has 4 passenger trains to Toledo, 100 miles, and 4 to Columbus, 24 miles, and 2 to Pomeroy, [illegible] The Columbus, Sandusky & Hocking runs 3 passenger trains to Sandusky, 86 miles, and 3 to Columbus, 24 miles. All these line run numerous fast freight trains, and the Hocking Val- ley, and Columbus, Sandusky and Hocking run directly to the finest bit- uminous coal fields in the state, those of the Hocking Valley, which insures Delaware cheap cola of the best quali- ty. NEVER FORGET. Thousands of former students of the O.W. University, while here, learned to like the refreshing and health-giv- ing waters of the beautiful White Sulphur Spring on the University Campus, and are often possessed of a great longing for another drink of it, and sometimes a journey is taken to Delaware for the purpose of again ex- periencing its delights. A wealthy gentleman who had attended the O.W. U. for a year when a youth, told the writer that he considered the Campus spring the grandest in the world, and that he often had a great longing for a generous drink of it. He said the people of Delaware have a priceless treasure in this sulphur spring. [image: DR. J.F. JONES, The Osteopath.] Osteopathists claim that the body is a mass of live electrical wires, each with a special function, and that one disarrangement of these will cause havoc, and an expert electrician (Os- teopath) is needed to set it aright. The fluids of the body are a great drainage system, with feed and waste pipes. A defective supply to a part, or improper drainage of another will cause stagnation or disease. An Osteopath can readily discover and remedy these evils without drugs or the knife. With what ease does the osteopath soothe a nerve and stop pain; acceler- ate or lessen the flow of life-giving fluids in a certain part, or slip a part of the bony structure back into place. The evidence is startling, and appears nothing short of wonderful. An ef- fect is accomplished almost immedi- ately that would perhaps require a drug several hours to do, if it were able to do it at all. Especially is this true in fevers, headache, stomach troubles, etc. Certainly no one will doubt that to have perfect action in any machine, each and every part of it must be exactly in place, and en- tirely free from obstructions. And that the condition of the human body which we call disease, is entirely due to obstruction of or pressure on some of the arteries, veins, nerves or ducts of the body from the correct action of which we attain motion, sensation, di- gestion, assimilation, nutrition and egestion. The removal of this obstruc- tion or pressure would restore the cir- culation of the fluids and gases of the body, and bring about a condition of ease, or what we know as good health. The only way in which this can be ac- complished is by taking the Osteopath- ic treatment. We have some splendid testimonials on file at our office. Consultation free.

The following October 17th, the church, a fine brick structure, with a seating capacity of between four and five hundred, was dedicated, less than eleven months from the time of its organization. The Church is beautiful for situation. It is in the center of the city, on Sandus- ky street, the main street, opposite the Court House. It is sixty-five feet long and forty-five wide, has a sloped floor and circular seats, is handsomely frescoed, has well proportioned win- dows, with beautiful stained glass, in short, it has all modern appliances and architectural beauty. This organization is fourteen years old. It has a membership enrolled reaching over two hundred; a Sunday School, including the home class, of about the same number. There is deep-seated sympathy and love be- tween pastor and people, and they are ever ready to extend a cordial welcome to all new comers, or strangers wor- shipping with them. This Church be- longs tot the General Synod, affiliates with other Christian denominations in worship and in true Christian fellow- ship. The teachings of its pulpit is thoroughly Scriptural, free from all that is sensational. Its aim is to make thorough, intelligent Christians. PERSONAL MENTION ...

Plant One of the Best in the State. Com- plete in all Its Details. The plant of the Delaware Water Company was constructed by Moffett, Hodgkins & Clark, and completed in October, 1889, and consisted of 16 miles of mains, from 4 inch to 16 inch, with 206 Ludlow fire hydrants. The pumping station is located three miles north of the city, on a gravel flat near the Olentangy River. The supply of water is obtained from a well sunk through the gravel beds and into the rock, being 20 feet in diameter and 25 feet deep. With this is connected a filter gallery 300 feet in length and of the same depth, which gathers the water from the gravel beds. Also a 14 inch intake pipe connects the filter gallery with the river, which can be used in cases of emergency. The rapid increase of consumers, and low water in 1895, admonished the management that it was prudent to seek for an additional supply of water. [image: COL. C.W. WILES.] A Six inch test well was sunk near the large well through the 20 feet of gravel, and case, then carried down through rocks of various kinds to a depth of 255 feet, which resulted in a natural flow of about 65,000 gallons in 24 hours. This has been piped into the large well. This not being sufficient for the de- mand, an Ingersol-Seargent Air Com- pressor, Straight Line Class "A," with steam cylinder 12 inches in diameter, by 14 inch stroke, air cylinder 12¼ inches in diameter by 14 inch stroke, 116 to 155 revolutions per minute at 50 to 80 pounds pressure, was installed in the spring of 1896; a receiver, 36 inch diameter, 6 feet high, connecting, from which a three inch pipe conducts the air to the well, 100 feet distant; from the top of the well a 1½ inch pipe takes the air 144 feet down into the well, ending in an inverted funnel to deflect the air upwards. With 40 pounds of air pressure at the receiver, the flow of the well is increased to 500 gallons per minute; this flow has been maintained at dif- ferent times for 14 hours continuously, without any apparent diminution of the flow, the well requiring from 60 to 70 minutes to recover its natural flow after the air is removed. The flow of water from this well is conducted directly to the large circu- lar well, from which it is taken by the pumps. The water is of most excel- lent quality and cold during the sum- mer, and all fear of shortage of water during the dry season is removed. An analysis of this deep well water was made by the State Board of Health, and pronounced of excellent quality. The pumping plant, consisting of two compound, Duplex Dean pumping engines of 2,000,000 capacity each in engines of 2,000,000 gallons capacity each in 24 hours, which may be run in- dependent or together, with 14 inch high and 20 inch low pressure cylin- ders, and 14 inch water plungers of 20 inch stroke. Two tubular boilers of 75 H.P., set in brick, with iron front, and an 80 foot brick chimney, boiler pump, in- jector, hot water heater and all ap- pliances of a first-class plant; all enclosed in a substantial brick, metal roof station. Adjoining is a two-story brick residence for the engineer, heat- ed with steam. The station is connected with the lo- cal telephone of the city, and also has automatic alarm bells. The standpipe is located about 300 yards southwest of the station, near the main pike to the city, and on ground 53 feet at its base above the pumps, and 45 feet above the street at the Court House, near the center of the city. It is 20 feet in diameter and 100 feet high, giving an average pres- sure, when full, of 65 to 75 pounds, owing to the grade in the city, and by closing the valve at the standpipe a fire pressure of 150 pounds. Since the completion of the works, about four miles of additional mains have been laid, giving about 20 miles, and 19 additional fire hydrants, giving a total of 225. The company have near 900 servic- es, including among the larger ones, three railroads, Electric Light and Power Co., the extensive buildings of the Ohio Wesleyan University, and about four miles of street sprinkling by wagons. The larger consumers are all sup- plied through meters, from ½ inch to 2 inch, of various makes, 355 meters in all being in service through the city, nearly all of which are the prop- erty of the Water Company. The highest average daily pumping per month during the year 1899 was in June, being 441,000 gallons, though in a single day as high as 550,000 gallons has been pumped. Total water pump- ed for year ending Nov. 1st, 1899, was 129,876,566 gallons. Average per day during the past year, 356,347 gallons. Hon. F.M. Marriott is the attorney and legal representative of the Compa- ny. Superintendent, Col. C.W. Wiles, came to the city from Cortland, N.Y., in April, 1892, to take charge of the works; since that time the number of consumers has increased from 370 to the present number, with a corre- sponding increase in revenue. He is also Secretary and Treasurer of the company. He has recently been elect- ed President of the "Central States [image] A NICE CHRISTMAS GIFT... DAVIS' ART GALLERY. L.M.

At the very earliest period of our existence as a hamlet -- a village -- at- tention was paid to education. Sever- al of the first settlers, more particular- ly those from the New England States, Connecticut leading -- were well educa- ted. Several who came here soon af- ter the war of 1812-14, held a degree from Yale. "Tis true that the curricu- lum of that institution then bore no comparison with that of to-day, still it was, for that early period, quite above the order of common schools. Yale had been plodding along in the even tenor of her ways for a number of years, and had turned out several learned and leading men, and a few of not the least of those, found their way, either under the lead of Colonel Kil- bourne, who founded Worthington, afterward up to Delaware, or under Moses Byxbe, who founded Berkshire and Delaware. William and Mary College, in Virginia, also had a few representatives in this section. The first regular school building was a log house near the Delaware Run, in the rear of the present Thompson house, south side of what is now East William street, between Union and Henry streets. Elam Vinings, Sr., with his oxen hauled the logs to the site. They were procured not far away. This brought the first tavern, the first court (under the trees near where the sulphur spring is at this writing,) and the original school house not many rods apart. On the day of the raising Moses Byxbe, Sr., sat at a window in the upper story of his house, (where Joseph Bargdill now lives,) and as no building intervened, he had a full view of the work, without having to turn a hand to help. The first pedagogue to initiate this rude structure was a man by the name of Morgan. This was about 1816. About two years later on, a master was employed whom some of the boys said was a master only of switching. He was pronounced cross, crabbed and cranky. The most of the teachers were not permanent residents. Wages were low, and perhaps this may have had much to do with their being more ornamental than useful. This state or [torn page] soon our people took hold, and in short metre, Delaware had a full quota of school rooms and school teachers, all local, fully equipped mentally and ed- ucationally to conduct the children properly up the hill of science. In a brief review of the different phases through which teachers and pu- pils passed even for the first three or four decades after the founding of Delaware, it would be clearly impossi- ble to personally name all of the teachers, and locate exactly the site where they did their work from 1816 to 1840, therefore I shall not attempt to do so. Albert Pickett, Sr., a highly educa- ted gentleman, did good work in this village for some years. He was a fine appearing gentleman, and although as a disciplinarian, almost equal to a graduate of West Point after reaching a good rank in the army, was greatly liked by all those he had under his in- struction. Later on, a son, Albert, Jr., tried his hand at teaching, but not for any great length of time. An aunt of our present leading townsman, Sidney Moore, was a teach- er in the long ago. She was a tall, dig- nified, intelligent lady, somewhat strict in the rules governing her school, but notwithstanding all this, she held the respect and love of those under her care. The first teacher in a stone building on the southwest corner of Winter and Franklin streets, was a man named Granger. I have heard old citizens say, who were pupils under his in- struction, that he did fairly well as a hearer of recitations, but when it came to punishing a rule violator, oh, do take care the bee! He seemed to have cast aside all manner of humanity. he would seize the scholar by the ears and yank him over the desk at a lively rate. All were glad when his time ex- pired and he retired from business. A short time after this, a Mrs. Eliza Thompson occupied this building. She was a disciplinarian not a great im- provement upon her predecessor, Granger. The room was somewhat lengthy, with a fireplace at one end. When the weather had run the mer- cury away below zero, it is on record in the memory of some yet living in this city, that they had to stand back "like a bound boy at a husking bee," as she would not let them go forward to the fire, while those near the fire- place were suffering from the heat. Another old timer was gentleman named Murray. He was not large of stature, but his mind filled whatever was wanting in this line. He was what would not be termed a good dresser. He had a very small foot, and wore nice boots, so displayed that no one could help noticing them. His place on instruction was a small affair on the northeast corner of the Court House lot. Mrs. Murray, a most accomplished lady, commenced the business of teaching the young ideas how to shoot, in the Shoub House, southeast corner of Sandusky and William streets, near- ly opposite to where one of her most distinguished scholars later on, Ruth- erford Burchard Hayes, was born. Lit- tle die she think, then, that before the century had ended, a magnificent City Hall and Opera House would adorn that corner. Maria Jinks, whose parents resided in a house at the southwest corner of what is not Union and William streets, taught in a small house close to the Byxbe house, on the north side of East William street. Later on Mrs. Mary Meeker-Bennett-Sprague taught a very interesting infant school in the same building. At the same time -- winter of 1833 - '34 a more advanced school was taught up stairs in the main building. Mrs. Murray lived at one time near where the post office is, and taught school in her parlor. In the early 30's an infant school was taught in a frame building where the A.A. Welch's sons have their furniture store to-day. In 1834 there was a school taught in the Thespian Hall building, which then adorned nearly the entire space between what is not Central avenue and the alley east and north of the Court house. I cannot recall the name of the leading teacher, but am inclined to think it must have been Mrs. Joan Murray, from the fact that her sister, Miss Mary Hills, then just in her teens, (13 years) assisted. The School Ex- aminers then were Sherman Finch, David T. Fuller and Ralph Hills. This child of 13 years teaching school broke the record then, and I doubt if it has been equaled since. She taught five and a half days for a week at $1.00 per week without board. Ralph Hills, afterward Dr. Hills, al so taught not long after his father came into this place, which was in 1831. Chauncy Hills, who is still among us, was also one of our old-time teachers for a short period. The Har- vey Hills family could well have been styled a family of teachers in ye olden time. A.R. Gould taught in a building on the East Side of North Union street, just north of William street. Miss Mary Moses, afterwards Mrs. Gould, I think, taught in the same building, but I am not positive about this. I forgot to state that those leading citizens of to-day, Sidney Moore, R.J. Cox, and H.J. McCullough received some of their instruction at the hands of little Miss Mary Hills in the Thes- pian Hall building. John A. Quitman, who came to this village in the year 1819, as a clerk in the Land Office. Also did some teach- ing between that date and 1821. Later on he became very prominent as a Mississippi Fire Eater. Lucy Byxbe, a granddaughter of Moses Byxbe, Sr., the founder of Dela- ware, also tried her hand at teaching, with more or less success. Bayles Campbell, who lived in what is now a part of Delaware, taught hard by in the 30's. He was quite compe- tent. Daniel Sherman for some years taught in the frame house on West William street, where John Wharton lives, and was regarded as a good in- structor. In the middle of the 30's an Acad- emy building was erected on "Tam- many street," near the present site of St. Paul's M.E. church. This was a very valuable educational accessory to Delaware, and several good teachers held the fort here at different times for a number of years. Early in the 40's a very able teacher employed there, a New Jerseyan by the name of Flavel A. Dickerson, was absorbed by the O.W.U., and although other good teachers succeeded him, the school did not flourish like a green bay tree, as it had done in "ye olden thyme." A year or so before Prof. Dickerson was thus absorbed, a highly educated gentleman named Cobb, assisted by his wife, conducted a very good school in the "Mansion House," now Elliott Hall on Delaware's University Heights, which was the root of the present Ohio Wesleyan University. Between fifty and sixty years ago, a reverend gentleman named Pope, (or rather his wife,) taught a school for girls on then Third street, south side, between Sandusky and Franklin Sts. D.W.C.L. Among the teachers who held forth in the fifties and sixties in the old Central school huose, which was orig- inally used as a Methodist Church, and located on the northwest corner of Franklin and William streets, were Messrs. Marsh and Chan- dler, and Miss Charlotte Wash- burn, who are yet remembered by many of our citizens of ma- ture years as "strict disciplinarians." Whether the youth of those days need- ed more "discipline" than those of the present day, is not certain, but it is certain that they got plenty of it along with the knowledge that was imparted to them by the knights of the rod of those days.

STILES.] Probably the most meritorious of all the state of Ohio's noble system of Be- nevolent and Reformatory institutions is the Girls' Industrial Home, which is situated ten miles southwest of the city of Delaware. In 1869 the necessity was recognized for the establishment of a suitable in- stitution by the state for the care of its unfortunate young girls who cir- cumstances or heredity may have in- clined to go wrong, and the well known While Sulphur or Hart Springs prop- erty was purchased, and in the frail buildings then on the grounds, the Girls' Industrial Home was installed. Among the members of its first Board of Trustees, appointed by Governor Hayes, was the late Abram Thomson, editor of the Delaware Gazette, and the late Frederick Merrick, President of the University, and to the judgment and foresight of these men and their colleagues, is due the successful issue of what was then considered more or less of an experiment. The Home is efficiently and capably managed by Captain Albert W. Stiles Superintendent, and Mrs. Albert W. Stiles, Matron, assisted by an excel- lent corps of teachers, assistant matrons and housekeepers. In their last report to the Governor, the Trus- tees say: "The work of the Superin- tendent and matron, Captain and Mrs. A.W. Stiles, cannot be too highly commended." [image: HARRY H.

Major McElroy was born at Gam- bier, O., in 1830. His parents, Rev. James McEleroy, D.D., of the P.E. Church, and Maria Burrowes McElroy, were natives of Ireland. Soon after his father's graduation from Trinity College, Dublin, his parents were mar- ried, and came directly to Gam- bier, where his father taught special classes in high mathematics, and finished his theological course. In 1832 his father came to Delaware, O., as Rector of St. Peter's P.E. Church; in 1840 he removed to Stan- ton, Va., and remained in Virginia un- til the spring of 1852, when he return- ed to Delaware on a call from St. Pe- ter's Church. C.H. McElroy received his education at the academies and classical schools of Virginia; at- tended the Law School at the University of Virginia; in the fall of 1852, he was examined by the Judges of the Court of Appeals, and admitted to the bar of Virginia. Un- der the laws of Ohio, as then in force, he could not be admitted for a year; engaged in civil engineering until 1855, when he returned to Delaware; was admitted here, and has been en- gaged in the practice of his profes- sion ever since, except when in the war of the rebellion and on the Bench. In 1857-8 and in 1878 Judge McElroy was elected Mayor by the citizens without reference to party and with- out any solicitation or action on his part. October 25th, 1855, Judge McElroy was married to Caroline Murray, a na- tive of Delaware, and daughter of Richard and Joan Hills Murray. Her father had been a member of the Bar of Delaware, at once taking a high stand as an attorney of ability, learn- ing in his profession, and of strict in- tegrity, but death seized upon him at an early day, and during the infancy of his daughter Caroline. Her mother lived to the age of seventy-five years, possessing in the highest degree the esteem and affection of her two thous- and pupils, (of whom Judge McElroy was one,) and of all who knew her. Her exalted character was richly in- herited by her daughter Caroline. De- cember 6, 1883, the wife and mother passed away, her husband and four children surviving -- three children had preceded their mother. Judge McEl- roy's father, mother and four sisters went to California soon after the war; but two sisters are now living. In august, 1861, Judge McElroy enlisted and was mustered in as a private in the 20th O.V.I., Soon after that he was chosen captain of Co. D, and was in command of the Company at Ft. Donelson and Pittsburg Landing; in August, 1862, he was transferred and appointed Major of the 96th O.V.I., and was with that regiment at Chick- asaw Bayou, Arkansas Post and Vicks- burg. In 1863 he was honorably dis- charged on account of disability from disease. After partial recovery, he resumed practice. In 1881, at the urgent solicitation of members of the Bar, influential citi- zens and friends, without reference to party, he accepted the nomination for Common Pleas Judge. In politics he has always been a Republican, and the judicial sub-division was quite large- ly Democratic. He was elected, and re-elected, serving ten years as Com- mon Pleas Judge. Since his retire- ment from the Bench he has been in the active practice of his profession. Suits and Overcoats made right MARTIN HENRY & SON. [image: DR. F.M. MURRAY.] The subject of this sketch could not help being born in Ohio. His parents lived here at the time. He served an apprenticeship of four years in the drug store of Dr. S.S. Yoder, late M. C., 4th District of Ohio. Then went to Key West, Florida, as apothecary to the U.S. Marine Hospital. During his four years of service here, he prosecu- ted his studies. Graduated from the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy in 1876; the Jefferson Medical College in 1877, and took the degree of Ph. D. at the University of Pennsylvania in 1878. Was married in Philadelphia to Miss A.M. Kirby in January, 1880. Came to Delaware 7½ years ago, and bought the Mr. V.D.

Description An account of the resource [page 6] [corresponds to unnumbered page 4 of ANNUAL OF THE SUNBURY HIGH SCHOO History Of School The Sunbury High School, which is now the largest high school in Delaware County except one, had its beginning in the town hall in the year 1877. As the grade school was held in the building which is now the resi- dence of Mr. Charles Utley, it was very inconvenient for one instructor to supervise both schools properly, so it was decided to erect a new building a part of which is now occupied. In 1902 the high schools of the state were classified into three grades and the Sunbury school became a second grade high school. In 1905 it was raised to a first grade school and has remained that to the present day. In 1913 the building was remodeled and a new high school room was added. At the present rate of growth of the school a new high school building will be needed in a very short time. A great many graduates from the Sunbury High School have are are oc- cupying positions of honor and trust. Some have entered the service of the government, while others have become professional men. Many have gone back to the farm and made good. The hopes and plans of the school board at present are to make the Sunbury High School a greater educational institution and a higher factor for good in the community. The need for some form of industrial education is keenly felt. This need will probably be supplied the coming year by the introduction of man- ual training for the boys and domestic science for the girls. The people who live in the territory surrounding Sunbury appreciate the advantages to be derived from such a school as this city maintains. A great many of the pupils at the present time are from the country. "Where the child is, there also is the parent." This accounts for the warm feeling which the country people have for Sunbury High School. The future of the Sunbury High School is assured. The county board of education in the past few months has greatly increased the school dis- trict. This will bring to the people of the village and surrounding country more of the advantages of a first-class high school. May the old high school continue to serve and be a blessing to the people of this community.

Description An account of the resource [page 7] [corresponds to unnumbered page 5 of ANNUAL OF THE SUNBURY HIGH SCHOOL] S.H.S CLASS HISTORY In the beginning we were created Freshmen in the year 1911. Our minds were without enlightenment and void and darkness was upon the face of each. And the spirit of the S.H.S moved upon the class and there was light. And we saw the light that it was good and distinguished it from darkness. And this was our first year. And Prof. Hughes took unto him all those of the General History and Latin classes, and when the failures of zero descended upon the heads of the unlearned and unwise, he biteth his nether lip in vexation and divided them, sending the sharks to walk thru green pastures, where a good recita- tion in Algebra restoreth their spirits, while the flunkers must travel the cheerless road to the cold and dreary regions of the dunce's throne. And the spirit said, "Let them have exams and be promoted to a higher class and let them be divided from the Freshmen." And we made our passes and those who now saw light were divided from those who were still in darkness, and it was so. And we were called Sophomores. And the time was now the second year. And the spirit said: "Let them assume the dignity befitting Sopho- mores and let them reign supreme over the members of the Freshman class." And it was so. And the spirit gave us grace to wade thru the deep waters of the dead languages and mathematics, and we saw that it was good. And Prof. Kaylor spoke and the voice which they heard from the throne of learning spake unto them again, and said, "Come and bring thy little which is open before thee, up near thy master and translate from the travels of Julius Caesar." And the spirit said "Let them bring evidence of their knowledge in Rhetoric, one theme per week, and let them search field and zoo in the interest of science; also let them organize a basket ball team in the interest of athletics." And it was so. And the time was now the third year and we became Juniors. And the spirit breathed upon us and we knew the lights in the firmament of the Heavens and the structure of the rocks upon the face of the earth. And Prof. Utley created great rules, which prevailed over the stu- dents of the S.H.S., and his "why and wherefore" struck terror into the heart of each member of the Geometry class and the expression upon the face of each following the recitation in Agriculture was sufficient to call forth a balance ration And lo, the spirit said, "Thy sins shall ve visited upon thee, even unto the fourth and last year, for thy last year's grade card keeps a record of thy conditions in Botany, Algebra, Geometry, etc." And the time was now the last year and we were called Seniors. And Prof. St. Clair gave unto us a reed like unto a water stick and stood, saying, "Rise and measure the laboratory and give the sum and sub- stance of the rules in the metric system." And it was so. And the spirit said "Let them be as lights shining thru the haughti- ness of the Juniors, the naughtiness of the Sophomores even to the dark- ness of the Freshmen. And let their barks, driven by their own favorite breezes, though gliding thru widely separated courses somewhere and some-when, all cast anchor in a common harbor, where the waters wash the strands of gold.

Second--We give, devise and bequeath to the Board of Education long years of happiness free from the cares of the Class of '15, and the pleasure of knowing one more class has completed the course prepared for them. To the teachers of the past we leave our regrets that they should have left the pleasures and cares of S.H.S To Mr. St. Clair, who never liked to give a zero, we bequeath any amount of gratitude and our sincere thanks and our deepest interest for his success in any work he may attempt. To Miss Huston we leave the good will of every member of the class for her interest in our good times, as well as in our work. To Miss Wilson we leave our respect for the order she always kept. To Mr. Utley, our present district superintendent, and past teacher, we give the credit for any knowledge we may now have of the mysteries of mathematics. To the Junior Class we give our seats in the recitation room, to be cherished by them during the remainder of their high school life, then to be left for the coming generations. Individual members bequeath the following: Frank Hoover bequeaths his mathematical knowledge to the industrious Junior Hobart Gray. Evalyn Kathleen Wigton leaves her ability to write the beautiful, charming verses of poetry to the class poets of the future. Ruth Mary Utley bequeaths her ability to look far into the future to Everett Perfect. Fred Lamont Kempton leaves all his cares and troubles which he has borne so manfully, hoping that no one may find them. Riley Roof requests that his brother Harold have all his popularities and orational ability. Gladys Forwood bequeaths her great historical knowledge to the his- torian of the Junior Class. Bryan Longshore leaves his musical talent, and love for the fair sex, to Clyde Barker, a shy and bashful Freshman. Florence Perfect leaves with regret her many good times spent in the laboratory to Hazel Comstalk. Roy Philander Edmister bequeaths his knack of looking wise to Ray Eley. Nellie Strosnider leaves a medal she obtained for going through the Sunbury school without having a fellow. Jennie Dwinnell bequeaths her precise manner to Eleanor Venette Granger. Lloyd LeVan Pace, his many delightful little strolls after school to his brother Clarence, a Freshman-to-be. Wilma Osburn gives and bequeaths her good disposition to Hazel Holt.

Description An account of the resource [page 10] [corresponds to unnumbered page 8 of ANNUAL OF THE SUNBURY HIGH SCHOOL] CLASS PROPHECY By prophecy we mean merely to foretell the future, or by divine power to reveal the inspirations of the gods. One stormy night the Senior Class had assembled at the home of one of the members, after a short business meeting the subject of what each had in mind for his or her future was discussed. Each had some honorable profession chosen. The president of the class suggested that one from among the sixteen should be appointed to make a journey to some prophet or witch to find out what the future of this class really is going to be. I was the one chosen and went to visit the famous witch of Endor, who told King Saul of his defeat and death many years ago. Her home was a little distance from a city in a very beautiful cave in the land of Palestine. She sat upon a tripod beside a great opening in the earth from which one could see a bright flame and clouds of smoke constantly moving. She saw gods ascending out of the earth in these clouds of smoke who seemed to tell her the future of all who asked of her. First she bade me to believe in her. Then she related to me the won- derful and prosperous future of the class of 1915 of S.H.S And as prophetess of this class I now hold the papers which contain the words of the obscure future and hidden honors of my beloved class- mates. And I will now reveal them to you as they were thus shown to me by this witch. First, I asked her what Frank Hoover's future is to be. She looked into the flame and said: "Frank, one of the most brilliant students of the class, will be a pro- fessor in mathematics at the Ohio State University. "Bryan Longshore will become a very prosperous and successful farmer because of his desire to study agriculture. "Nellie Strosnider, who is admired for her quiet and sweet disposi- tion, will be sent to China as a missionary. "Roy Edmister, because of his successful life, will make a very good United States Senator, and who knows but what he may become Presi- dent." When I mentioned Kathleen Wigton's name, a bright flame shot forth and the witch said that, after having her musical talent improved, she will become one of the world's greatest musicians. And would you believe it? Harold Tippett, who joined us in his last year because of his shrewdness and sagacity, will fit himself for a sturdy and gruff lawyer. Florence Perfect will lead a useful life. She will make a home happy for a very nice young man. Wilma Osburn will teach school in Cleveland and impart to others some of the precious gems of thought that she acquired at S.H.S. Gladys Forwood will become private secretary to the Governor of Ohio, and will like her position very much. Lloyd Pace will be remembered for his gentle and affectionate ways. He will gain many friends and will become one of Ohio's greatest bankers. Then upon another flame which was very glorious, behold! the witch told me of Ruby McFarland, to whom honor and fame will always be due, with her sweet disposition and good judgment will be an excellent trained nurse. Then still the witch said that Jennie Dwinnell, who has a very inde- pendent way and is very energetic and has an unfailing good humor, will Title A name given to the resource Annual of the Sunbury High School, Sunbury, Ohio. 1915 (p. 10) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/81aed1f91a917960e438c86dd60b4b91.jpg f64b0fd8a4a9a260461109641bd485a9 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Riley Roof, one of the popular members of our class, after some years of training and experience, will be a prominent politician, and not many years ahead he will be running for Governor of Ohio. Nellie Duckworth has many friends in school, and the witch said she will be a leading social leader in New York. Then she told me that Lamont Kempton will make a very good detec- tive for he has always been sly and cunning while in school. After the witch had made known to me the future of all those of which I mentioned, she asked if there were any others whose destiny I would like to know. I trembled, for there was one name that I had not mentioned and that was my own. The witch, speaking in a solemn tone and with uplifted finger, said: "The destiny of each member of this class rests in his own hands. If you cling to your present intention, you will make yourself and others happy by being the mistress of a good home. So for all the Senior Class we find: That life is worth living, as is, oftentimes said, If we bury the past, and let it be dead; If you have gone in the wrong way, as men often do, Turn out of that path and begin life anew.

Description An account of the resource [page 13] [corresponds to unnumbered page 11 of ANNUAL OF THE SUNBURY HIGH SCHOOL] CLASS POEM Our high school course is o'er at last: four years of study and fun; Although it was a real hard task, We wish it had just begun. By eight instructors we've been taught- Each one strict and very wise; They said when for knowledge we sought, "He will win who really tries." Well, we have tried and we have won; Other classes did the same; And younger classes-just keep on, You are on the road to fame. Our studies-which were hard indeed- Without doubt were well planned; For we'll need them to succeed In this great progressing land. As Freshmen we were young and green: Never yet by knowledge kissed; But still we sailed along serene, For ign'rance to us was bliss. Fond mem'ries we'll have bye and bye, Of our second year in school; If we had fun in Sunbury High, It was as a Sophomore fool. As Juniors gay we had no rest; In all sports we took our parts; We studied much to pass the test, But found time for winning hearts. In our last year we each resolved To cease our foolish play; Although heartaches this involved, We have our reward today. "Into life's school, out of school life" Today we ambitiously pass; May we so act in the world's strife To bring much honor to this class. We the proud Seniors of '15, Bid farewell to S.H.S.; to the comrades who there were seen. And our teachers of the best.

Description An account of the resource [page 20] [corresponds to unnumbered page 18 of ANNUAL OF THE SUNBURY HIGH SCHOOL] ATHLETICS Athletics, the greatest of all outdoor sports, certainly has an enthusi- astic supporter in the S.H.S., which stands for clean athletics and a square deal to all contestants. Much is due to Mr. St. Clair for the inter- est he has taken, especially as coach of the basket ball team. Basket ball is our favorite game, and the 1914 team certainly deserved our support, for it was one of the best high school teams in the county, winning every game played with other high school teams. The first game was with Marengo and was an easy victory for our boys. S.H.s M.H.S R. Eley--------------R. F-------------------F. Salts R. Roof--------------L. F-----------------W. Randolph R. Paul---------------C-----------------N. Richmond H. Gray--------------R. G-------------------L. White H. Tippett-----------L. G-------------C. Cantlebarry The second game was played at Marengo. The story of the game is the same as the first, the second being 18-13 in our favor. The last game of the season, which was played at Ashley, was the hardest fought of any game that we played, but by hard and steady playing we succeeded in beating them, even though in the last half they were in- clined to rough it. Sunbury at Ashley: S.H.S Ashley R. Eley--------------R. F.-----------------------Cole C. Utley------------L. F.-------------------------Lea R. Paul-------------C-------------------------Powell R. Roof-------------L. G----------------------Whipple H. Gray--M. Murphy---R. G----------------------Pittman Score--S.H.S 17, Ashley 13. Season's score--S.H.S. 88, Opoponents 34. The Team "Ray Eley," star athlete of the S.H.S and the best player on the team, is one of the fastest forwards that ever played for S.H.S as will be attested to by those who have tried to guard him. "Stogie" Utley, who also played forward made an excellent mate for Eley, he being about the same size and almost as fast. "Dick" Paul, who played center, could not have played this position better if he had been made to order. "Pete" Roof, the manager of the team, used good judgment in select- ing the team and used his weight to a good advantage when guarding. "Hob" Gray made an excellent guard, for he was always in the game playing his best. Basket ball has in the past received mored attention at S.H.S than baseball. The prospects this year are for a cracking good nine. There is a wealth of good material on hand and a lively competition for places on the team is promised.

Diligent, generous, retrospec- tive, and vigorous, he applied himself to his studies with his ideal placed high.

Description An account of the resource [page 10] [corresponds to page Six] Factors Determining Success Although we may not agree as to the meaning of success there can be no disagree- ment about its importance to the individual and the nation. Whether success means supplying individual needs or rendering a public service its importance is recognized. The question which is raised in all divisions of government from the largest to the smallest subdivision of township and school district is, "What can be done to promote the common welfare." Considered from the standpoint of the individual and the group this investigation seeks to determine how all the people can be better served through the ability of the individual to serve. The question of individual and national success is centuries old and has resulted in but one conclusion. America has only one answer to the question and that is education, as embodied in the free public schools of the nation. If success depends upon education, then, as has been well said, "education is the most momentous as well as the most essential business of the human race." Education like success has a variable meaning, but it has generally been understood to mean one or more of three things. It may be understood to mean getting useful knowledge, acquiring skill, or, shaping ideals; and should properly be considered to mean all of these things. Education produces useful changes in the individual; a change in knowledge, a change in skill, a change in ideals. Our public school system represents one of the greatest factors in bringing about these useful changes. The school represents the experience of all time as to the best method of furnishing opportunities which will stimulate the effort of the individual and bring about the desirable changes. The school makes the greatest contribution to individual and national success, and is only little less important than food, clothing and shelter. On the billboards of the country we read, "They satisfy."--"The flavor lasts," and cheerfully make a national expenditure of five billions annually. Where shall we emblazon, "Education the greatest factor in success," so that it will be less difficult to make the property tax the only source of revenue for the support of the public SEVENTEEN BILLIONS FOR LUXURIES AND ONE BILLION FOR EDU- CATION does not indicate that we have rightly valued the factors contributing to our success. With the ever increasing demands of a complex civilization we can no longer hope to make the property tax the only source of revenue for the support of the public schools. Especially is this true from the standpoint of farming communities, which, to a great extent have lost their former significance with respect to the nation's wealth. Our success will depend not upon our ability to reduce expenditures for education, but upon our ability to devise methods of taxation, which will draw revenue from the vast and almost wholly untouched sources of wealth derived from private and business in- comes. When these matters have been properly adjusted, a new day will dawn for the public schools, and education, as never before, will contribute to the success of the in- dividual and the nation. Paul M.

In reviewing the accomplishments of the past year we should first note the Fall Festival. It was one of the enjoyable events of the year. It was held in Novem- ber in different sections of the School Building. A varied program was given consisting of three shows in the Auditorium given by the grades and a few high school students. A Ministrel Show, A Court of Justice, Japanese Tea Room, Country Store and a Fish Pond. Popcorn and candy were sold. The proceeds which were one hundred and fifty dollars were used to secure bookcases and other needed articles for our school. Our school has been well diversified by parties and banquets. Dur- ing the pleasant autumn months weiner and marshmallow roasts were held by the classes, but as winter approached entertainment changed ac- Title A name given to the resource The Delcoan 1925.

A party was given in honor of the winners of the ticket selling contest for the Lyceum course. Then a banquet was enjoyed by the com- munity followed by a Parent-and-Son banquet given by the agriculture class. This spring a banquet was given in honor of the winning Society in the Literary contest. We are now looking forward to two more impor- tant events which are "The Junior-Senior" Banquet and "The Alumni Banquet." The Literary Societies, the Spartan and Athenaen have been very suc- cessful this year in the accomplishment of their aim of bettering the speaking as well as the writing of English in School. Many very enter- taining programs, including one joint program have been given, consisting mostly of plays, recitations, debates, songs and instrumental pieces, through which much unexpected ability has been discovered. We hope the societies will continue their work next year, for we feel that it is a great asset to our school. Title A name given to the resource The Delcoan 1925.

Description An account of the resource [page 15] [corresponds to page Eleven] Bellpoint School The Bellpoint School is continually striving to meet its ever increasing aims. Our ideals are high ones and as we gradually realize them, new purposes arise to keep us moving onward in this struggle for progress. The school has many accomplishments in the various fields. Our triumphs in athletics are to be envied. The interest in music is shown by our orchestra and ope- rettas. Juniors and Seniors have become enthusiastic about dramatics, forming a Dramatic Club under the direction of Miss Clarine Morehouse. The Lecture Course and community gatherings have brought the people together and aroused a cooperative community spirit. The interest of the community is manifested by the loyal backing they give to all school activities. The successful operation of the school has been brought about by the spirit of cooperation shown by all. Title A name given to the resource The Delcoan 1925.

M. V. THRUSH, Ph. B. in Educ. University of Chicago Our Year's Work At the beginning of the school year the most recent course of Study from the State High School Supervisor was put into operation. This called for three new classes, Biology, Home Economics and Manual Training. The Board of Education voted liberal appro- priations for these new lines of work. Much interest has been shown in the additions to our course of study and it is hoped that through co-operation of the students and the school patrons that this type of more practical education may be even more ade- quately taken care of next year. At the fall election the people of the district showed their interest in the welfare of the children by voting for a continuation of the three mill levy for a period of five years. The favorable vote on this measure enabled the Board of Education to purchase some much-needed equipment. A reliable encyclopedia was placed in the high school; about seventy-five volumes were added to the library; supplementary readers were purchased for the grades; sanitary towels have been provided; and additional seats were secured for the auditorium. These additions to the school equipment have made our school much more able to render full service to the youth of the community. Title A name given to the resource The Delcoan 1925.

The vote stood 316 for the levy to 81 against. Confidence of this type encourages the Board of Education in its efforts to provide the best education the Township can afford for its children. And this, the welfare of the children, is the only standard by which any school policy can be judged, whether it be financial or pedagogical. Dr. H. W. Nutt emphasized this in a talk to the patrons of the district at one of the community meetings. On Friday February 20th a conference on student teaching was held in Delaware. The afternoon session of this conference adjourned to our school to study the type of student teaching being done here. Among those attending were Professors of Edu- cation from Ohio State, Columbia University, Dennison, Wooster, and Superintendents and Principals from Columbus, Mt. Vernon, Troy, and Akron.

When the opportunity was given the organization to appoint the meeting at some other place next year, they voted unanimously, on motion of Superintendent Collicot of Columbus, that they would like to return for a meeting here in October, if the invitation were extended to them. The inspiration that such visitation brings to a school was clearly expressed in the hearty cooperation of the high school pupils in doing well, and without affectation, whatever duties were assigned to them. The Board of Education has just received a letter of congratulation from the State Department of Education has just received a letter of congratulation from the State membership by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools at the recent Chicago meeting. As we reflect on these things we remember that the ladder of success is full of slivers for those who slide back. We can only reach the next rung by industry, courage, and cooperation, qualities that have been exhibited by the pupils, the faculty, the parents, and the Board of Education, in the past, these are our chief grounds for hope in the future.

Description An account of the resource [page 21] [corresponds to page Seventeen] [photos] For the girls a course in home-making has been instituted. Miss Whittier, in charge of this department, has made of it one of the important parts of the school. The first half of the year was devoted to sewing and along with the actual needle- work went instruction in the selection of materials, patterns, and all those details so dear to the hearts of women. By selling candy at basketball games the girls managed to secure funds to equip their department with a sewing machine, pans, kettles and other necessary articles. One day each week the girls prepare their own dinner. On Friday of each week they serve a hot noon lunch at a nominal cost to all of the pupils of the school. Many are the commendations heaped upon the Board for their forethought in pro- viding music for the school through the addition of Mrs. Jeanette Gooding-Harter to the faculty this year. A large crowd witnessed the high school operetta, "El Bandido," a splendid production considering that this was the first year of any musicial training for the cast of the play. Two grade operettas are to follow yet before the end of the year. __________________ SCHOOL BOARD W.H. Kentner, Pres. J.C. White, Clerk A.P. Cruikshank, V.P.

Mathematics, Commercial subjects and Latin History of the Powell High School By the laws of the state, on the 20th day of August, 1900, the Board of Education in Liberty Township passed a resolution to establish a High School of the third grade at Powell. This High School had a two years' course of study for seven months each. On the 21st day of April, 1902, the school was moved to Hyattsville where it re- mained until 1905 when it was returned to Powell and raised to a second grade high School. In February, 1911, the High School was made first grade and Mr. Edgar Law was the first superintendent. In this same year the board purchased a new site and erected a new building at a cost of $24,880, where now over 250 children enjoy the advantages in acquiring an education. This school has the distinction of being the first centralized school in Delaware County, and also the first school in the state to transport the children to and from their home in motor driven buses.

Description An account of the resource [page 27] [corresponds to page Twenty-Three] Radnor--A Demonstration School [photo] Radnor High School is very fortunate in being one of the demonstration schools of Ohio Wesleyan University. Under this plan several of the high school courses are taught by students of the University who are majoring in education work, and have had special training and preparation for high school teaching. The student teachers are closely supervised both by the University and by the regular instructors of the various courses in the high school. The purpose of all this supervision is to improve methods of teaching so that the pupils will derive the greatest possible benefits from their studies. In addition to the benefits already mentioned, Radnor's cooperation with Ohio Wesleyan has made possible the following: a course in French by which pupils may get out their college entrance language requirement; a course in Public Speaking; a course in Debate; physical education, as required by law, under teachers trained for that particular work; well trained coaches for girls' and boys' track teams; a division of the Junior and Senior English class, making for more efficient teaching; use of University library books; free tuition for all Radnor teachers attending night classes at the University; and furthermore it gives substantial financial aid to our school.

Zent, J. McLead. The present Junior Class entered high school in 1922 and naturally like all Fresh- men they were green, very mischievous and disobedient altho they mastered their trials and duties very well. They felt quite dignified to pass on to the Sophomore year. As Sophomores they were very well represented in dramatics and athletics. They initiated a large class of unruly Freshmen. The Junior year has been busy, gay and eventful. We have proved to be excellent reporters and helped make the operetta, "Toreadors" a success. Several members participated in the contest between the literary societies. Other events of the year will be the Junior Class Play and the banquet in honor of the seniors. We are full of hope for a happy and successful year when we shall be Seniors. _________ Sophomores 1ST ROW--E. Gale, I. Osborn, M. Green, M. Downing, M. Evans, H. Wyant, T. Hoffmire, L. Strait. 2ND ROW--A. Barton, L. Welch, E. Sperry, B. Babcock, L. Morris, H. Keifer, R. Breece, and C. Claypool. 3RD ROW--W. Nicholson, C. Westbrook, H. Rathburn, M. Smith, M. smith, R. Wood, E. Benedict. In the fall of 1923 our class entered high School with an enrollment of thirty. After many trials and disappointments most of us attained the Sophomore rank. The class has been increased by the addition of pupils from Marengo. We have shown our ability in many different ways. Our most interesting event of this year was the initiation of the Freshmen. In Athletics the Sophomores were well represented. Important roles in the operetta were also filled by members of our class. With so many talented and capable classmates we are looking forward to the time when we will be upper classmen. __________ Freshmen 1ST ROW--E. Ralston, H. McGonigle, P. Taylor, M. Kiner, J.

Aldrich. On the first day of September 1924, forty-six Freshmen entered Ashley High School, and in a ffew days were known as the largest and worst class in school. After we were over our first fright, we were entertained and initiated by the Sophomores. Their talk was larger than their deeds. We came thorough unharmed! In Athletics three of our members made the football team, eight the basket ball squads. We were also represented in the operetta. "Toreadors," and best of all, one of our members represented Ashley in the Oratorical contest at Delaware. Title A name given to the resource The Delcoan 1925.

Class Will We, the graduating class of the High School of Berlin Township County of Dela- ware, State of Ohio, being of full age, of unusually sound mind, and unsurpassable memory and understanding, do make, publish, and declare, this to be our last will and testament; To the class of '26 as a whole we relinquish our observational seats along the windows, and also the use of the dictionary, encyclopedias, maps et cetera. To the sophomores we bequeath our success in books. Absorb the studious habits which have been ours for four years and you too may arrive at the station of senior- hood. To the freshmen we get all of the old basketball shoes, chewing gum stuck beneath the seats, rubbish, and any and everything which they can keep from the clutches of the other classes. To the following individuals we assign, to have and to hold forever, the herein men- tioned items: To "Skinny" Maloney, the size of Dorothy Colflesh. To Neil Dunham, the studiousness of Clois Smith. To Louise Furnis, the modesty of Lodemia Weaver. To Chloe Anna James, the winning eyes of Leona Freshwater. To Alta Ross, some of the height of Frances Johns. To Marvin Breece, a goodly portion of the egotism of John Kendall. To Laurens Davenport, a little of the wisdom of Robt. Oehler. To Herbert Lackey, some of the trickiness of Hugh Veley in basket ball. To Mildred Piatt, the cheerfulness of Mary Schank. To the faculty, all of the many bright gems of thought developed by us in class work and examinations. In witness, we the class of '25, the testators, have here unto set our hand and seal on this seventeenth day of March, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-five. Signed, The Seniors H.

We are the freshmen of 1922, grown into juniorhood. Now we are wiser and have accomplished much in our three years of study. The entire school is proud of the athletes in our class. Our class is well represented on both teams. We have attained highest honors as the Berlin "cutups". As each of us have chosen our ambitions early, I will list them: Neil, "to be a clown," Bill, "to get through;" Glorine, "to be a musician;" Ed, "to be a preacher;" Mick, "to grow thin;" Chloe Anna, "to grow taller;" Homer, "to gain speed;" Louise, "to stay in love;" "Mary E., " to be an old maid;" Florence, "to own a beauty parlor;" Ruth, "to have dates;" Alice, "to be a cook;" and lastly, the thirteenth of our class, Dutch Weaver, "to get a girl." The Sophomore Class TOP--Leo Maloney, Herbert Lackey, Joseph Woods, James Hubbard. MIDDLE--Geneve Bockoven, Louise McNett, Lucille Lackey, Mary Rodenfels, May Davidson. BOTTOM--Alta Ross, Florence Dominy, David Taylor, Elda Jones, Mary Yantis. Mima Shade, the matron of the class, is followed by May that quiet and studious little maid. Florence Dominy, Our giggling treasurer, chases in the pennies. Leo, the "Sheik," was elected vice-president by the girls' vote. Alta Ross renders first aid to the injured, While Herbert, the class sky-scrapper, is the star shot. Mary and Geneva, our class beauties, charm and yet startle, "Jim" and "Pat" with their artful complexions. Miss Lackey's "radio" broadcasts the news to all the class. David, the president, won his popularity by ever-ready jokes and clever gestures. The class mystery centers around what Elda Jones uses to make his hair stick to his head so closely. Mary is writing a book on, "Why Ceasar did not Die in Infancy." Lastly, Louise McNett is demonstrating the economy of buying powder in the bulk. Louise McNett The Freshman Class TOP--Kendall Kennedy, Cecil Rice, Walter Davenpoprt, Marvin Breece. MIDDLE--Laneva Collins, Garnet Evans, Harlan Hall, Winston Alkire, Annamay Farmer, Marie Williams, Carrie Davidson. BOTTOM--Beatrice McNett, Ruth Trigg, Miriam Fickel, Loma James, Kenneth Reed, Betty Jane Kennedy. We are eighteen in number, eight boys and ten girls. We poor tiny freshmen have recovered from the fear which hovered over us until after the "initiation" which the upper classes insisted upon giving us at the freshman party. We now feel at home in the high school and have won the admiration of the "smart" sophomores, conceited juniors, and wise seniors. The first semester passed rapidly and the mid-year exams proved no obstacle to our progress. We are studying hard and anxiously looking forward for the finals whereby we will be able to prove our right to promotion on into sophomorehood. Title A name given to the resource The Delcoan 1925.

Description An account of the resource [page 55] [corresponds to page Fifty-One] Galena Undergraduates ______ Fourteen innicent and ambitious boys and girls entered Galena High school in the fall of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-four. We were received in open arms and made welcome in electric chairs. We were shocked 'tis true, but we started out determined to overcome all difficulties and had no desire but to learn. Judging from our grades and smiles of approval from our teachers, we are a promising class that G. H. S. may well be proud of. Arnold E. Buck, '28.

JUNIORS BACK ROW: Thelma Frakes, Hilda Hancock, Bernice Ballard, Melvin Hewlett. FRONT ROW: Aloma Evarts, James Vance, Floyd Shaw and Florence Bailey. JUNIOR "Not what we were but what we hope to be," is the thought that is continually revolving in the minds of the Junior Class as we tread the hard-beaten path of know- ledge, moving step by step until we reach our senior year of nineteen hundred and twenty-six. We began our high school career as a body of ten Freshies, with a willingness to endure the slams and rebuffs of the upper classmen. About the middle of our Freshman year, we are sorry to say, we lost two of our classmates. The second year eight of our members returned and were glad to welcome a new member, Jessie Williams. This year seven returned and were glad to welcome into our midst again, Hilda Hancock. We have tried to make our stay here profitable and cheerful, and may we never be satisfied with anything less than the best.

We passed thru our Freshman year with out losing any of our classmates, with whom we had gone thru school. In 1924 we entered the Sophomore year, very proud to think we had studied our way thru. Now we are thirteen strong, and we all hope we will live up to our motto, Onward, Ever, Upward. Title A name given to the resource The Delcoan 1925.

Then in November of the same year we added another, Harold Phinney, to our class making it number sixteen. During the year our ranks were thinned by the loss of Dale McCreary and Thelma Rogers. Our sophomore year proved better than the freshman year. We took part in Literary and other activities of the school. The hill proved too steep for some, however, so they consented to wait and pilot the next freshman class through its strenuous year. Title A name given to the resource The Delcoan 1925.

Only nine of the previous fifteen entered the Senior year with Senior standing. By hard work we were able to give the school a lecture course that was a marked success.

Homer Howison Helen Liggett, Pres. Walter Fish Burson Mills In 1922 fourteen boys and girls entered high school as Freshmen. The initiation the Sophomores gave us was a terrorizing affair but we all recovered. The operetta "Windmills of Holland" was given and many of our class were in the cast. As Soph- omores we received the Freshmen into the school and we did not "Say It With Flow- ers." "In Old Louisiana" was given and again many of our classmates took part. As Juniors we claim the prettiest girl, the best athlete and the best talker in the school. As Seniors we expect to make an unbeatable record. ___________ SOPHOMORES In the year 1923 the Sophomores entered High School with: Helen Barger Gennell McPeak Victoria Van Skoy Mildred Barger Elizabeth Miller Carrol Lamme Avis Bell Grace Newhouse Stuart Larcomb Edith Inskeep Mary Nunamker Vernon Mills Armilda Johnson Ivaloo Smart Linnaeus Ponds In the year of 1923 the Sophomores entered the High School with an enrollment of fourteen, but due to failures by some of the pupils of the preceding years class our number was increased to twenty-one. When we entered school we were full of pep, but towards the end of the second semester we began to grow weary and four of our members, who thought they had obtained all the knowledge necessary, left the re- maining seventeen to travel the hard pathway alone. So this year we entered the Sophomore Class with an enrollment of seventeen. The first event of the year was the reorganization of our class. Next came the "Freshmen-Sophomore Banquet" in which we all took an active part. Sorry to say but the next event which took place was the Senior-Final Exams in which we did our best. During the second semester we lost four of our members, but gained one giving us again an enrollment of four- teen. The Sophomores of this year have shown their ability in dramatics as four of our members played leading roles in the Operettas, "In the Garden of the Shah." In Athletics we have also been well represented as five girls and three boys help make up the Basket Ball Quintets. ___________ FRESHMEN Marian Duncan Evelyn Slocum Paul Smart Erma Fish Lester Dillion Joseph Smith Christian Gabriel Edmon Freshwater Melvin Welch Laura Mackan George Jacobs Martha Poling Alfred Newhouse On September 8th of 1925 the Freshmen entered O. H. S. with thirteen members. We were looking for bad luck but we gained two, then lost two. We still have just thirteen but "Good Luck" is our mascot. We had a meeting and decided on "Sweet Peas" for our class flower, "Old Rose and Gray" class colors, and "Live and Learn" for our motto. Laura Mackan, Evelyn Slocum, and Martha Poling were chorus girls, and George Jacobs, Alfred Newhouse and Edmon Freshwater were chorus boys in the operetta, "In the Garden of the Shah" Marian Duncan played the piano for the operetta. A girl and a boy from the Freshmen class were on the Basket Ball Teams. Title A name given to the resource The Delcoan 1925.

Description An account of the resource [page 69] [corresponds to page Sixty-Five] Powell Senior Class History In the fall of 1913 about thirty-five rosy cheeked boys and girls started their school career with Miss Duffy. By her help and patience we passed, into the third grade with Miss Pheneger as teacher. After two years there, we were promoted not only to the fifth grade, but "up-stairs" which seemed to us a great leap on Education's ladder. We worked hard for Miss Lucy and Miss Johnson in this room, and were promoted, after two years, to Mr. Grace where we were prepared for a successful High School career. In the spring of 1921 only twelve of our number, six boys and six girls, entered High School, and now as we are about to enter the College doors our number has dwindled to six. This period of High School life, we consider as one great step toward success. Mr. Noble was superintendent the year we were Freshmen, then Mr. Wheeler came and has been here through the remainder of our High School days. It has been his patient hand that has led us to success in High School. Our Motto is: "Our Aim To Win, Our Hope Success." May it be so! Mabel Case, '25 SENIOR CLASS POEM We have six Seniors in the P. H. S. If we don't study, I miss my guess; For our wish is, to have great success Though some of our meetings have been a mess. Ralph Wright is our president, as we all know, And when it comes to talking, he likes to blow; On the basket ball team he is always fast And played a good game up to the last. In our class Robert Perry is at the head, At eight o'clock each night, he's always in bed; When a note flies by, we all look at Bob To have good conduct he finds quite a job. Bill McKitrick is always ready to tease And in a class meeting is hard to please; When in a difficulty, he will help you out Smiling is his hobby; you never see him pout. Marie Blaney is the artist of our class, Compete with her? She's hard to surpass; She whispers and argues, but gets a high grade I suppose it's the way of this innocent maid. Next in line we have Mabel Case Attentive in class--and always in her place. When she is questioned she rolls her eyes And of course the teacher thinks she is wise. Florence Bolander is another brave little girl Who is always finding in life a new thrill; Cross-word puzzles are her best delight If she doesn't do that; she likes to fight. This is our line up, as you will see, Our aim is success, I hope it will be. Florence Bolander, '25. Title A name given to the resource The Delcoan 1925.

At present we have the distinction of being the biggest Class in the High School, and, we are striving to keep it so. Lula Case Sophomores Darroll Jones, Doris Morgan, Harold Lacher, Maurice Smith, Charles Hayes, David Rader, Edward Smith, Marie Bohlander, Lulu Case, Irene Kirkpatrick, Alice Schmehl, Lillian Davidson JUNIOR HISTORY All the members of the Junior Class began their career together under the compet- ent hand of Miss May Duffy. We gained and lost many of our members, but entered High School with an enrollment of twelve. The work proved too difficult for some which caused our number to be lessened. During our Sophomore Year our number was again diminished by two. Our Junior year, so far, has been quite successful. Our class play, "The Superior Miss Pellender" which was given on the nineteenth of March was a great success. We hope our small number can cling together for the remainder of our school days at Powell High School. Marie Thomas, '26. FRESHMEN Leslie Clements, Martha Standish, Frank Johnston, Lillian Gardner, Bessie Blaney, Lillie Weaver, Anna Howard, Ruby Maddox, Ruth McCord, Lila Gardner, Alice Perry, Leona Glick FRESHMEN HISTORY The upper classmen jeer at me, With Manifold derison. I get into my classes wrong, My feet seem huge, My legs too long, I'm always in collision. But even at that the Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-four class is not the greenest class that ever entered the portals of P. H. S. we are sorry to say that we have not all spent all our school days in the grades together. The work was too difficult for some and others moved away. We all were proud to be featured in several cantatas and plays during our grade work. We entered High School with twelve members and in later years we hope to look back upon our first year in High School as a success. Ruby Maddox, '28.

Here we have an active and energetic young man, who puts work before pleasure. He has had a varied experience with Cupid, and can win fem- inine hearts at any peril. -- Boyd Hoskinson. Here we have a man to manipulate the spheroid in most any fashion. He has distinguished himself in Baseball and Basket- ball, altho he pays some respects to the fair sex. -- Frank VanAuken. "Nauky" wants to be different. He is somewhat of a "fusser," and likes to have the girls like him. He sings beautifully, dabbles in athletics, and does some bluffing in class. -- Ernest Fivaz. Altho "Frenchy" is of a quiet nature and takes life rather easy, yet he has the cus- tomary amount of school spirit. He has lately come into prominence as a cartoonist. -- Virgil Blaine. "Heck" is quite a lady's man, ie. it seems so. He has never been known to miss a game or lecture unless there is a dance somewhere in or out of town. -- Russell Weiss. "Doc" is our best known class president. Not over fond of study, which perhaps has caused his slightly bad disposition, still he's might constant; -- ask Bunice. -- Owen Meredith. Another of our quiet, demure Seniors. He has strong con- victions on certain problems, and adhere's strictly to them. He has dabbled in Basket- ball and Track, but only as a means of recreation. -- Walter Weiss. "Sherm" has quite a bit of musical ability, and delights to warble melodiously. He also manages to get his lessons with no more than the usual amount of bluffing. -- Herbert Deering. Some people consider him slow, but they are wrong. When he does make up his mind, he goes after thing with invincible determination. You never can tell about these slow people. -- Harold White. "Jim" is a fine fellow--good in his classes and fine in ath- letics. He has never distinguished himself as a "fusser" but treats the fair sex oc- casionally. -- Kenneth Roof. "Clumsy" says, "Make it short and sweet, so here goes." Give him a girl above all else, and plenty of time to primp. -- Nelson Laughery. "Hook" is truly a scholar, but not a book worm. Girls and athletics never form a part of his program. -- Deane Barker. "Skip" is a remarkable combination of everything, includ- ing "lady killer." He is a harmonious boy with ruddy cheeks, musician's hair, and a smile like a spoonsful of strawberry dope on a hot day. -- Mason Hayes. "Rosie is a good gentle soul, who can always be depended upon to do the right thing. He devotes his affectionate attentions to Galena High School. -- Howard Cring. "Squire" meets you on the street with a smile, and speaks with that same smile in his voice. He has not distinguished himself in anything unless it be pole vaulting. -- Walter Harold. "Shor- ty" is a native of Sunbury. He is small but somewhat mighty. He likes English, but shines in Caesar. He plays Baseball, and is always found on the second team. -- Mil- dred Lahmon. "Millie" is a quiet, retiring girl but with a good deal of determination. She is domestic in her tastes, and could make a home paradise for some lucky fellow. -- Virginia Strosnider. "Ginnie" is a very quiet girl. We hope she will find the right fellow and settle down near Sunbury where we can go and see her occasionally. -- Bun- ice Vermillion. "Bunie" is one of our bright stars socially. She is graceful and tal- ented. We do not see at present just how Sunbury is going to do without her, but there will be a way provided. -- Ethel Mathews. "Buddie' looks as tho she never saw the dark side of anything. She gets into things just enough to show the proper spirit without being ambitious. She is one of those rare persons who stand for quality. -- Frances Perfect. "Bobbie" is interested in all that concerns the school, especially ath- letics. She is always out for a good time. She distinguished herself this year in the girls Basketball team. -- Phyllis Fraser. "Phil" says there are many ways to obtain sheet music. Some folks buy their own, some have it given to them,--but suffice it to say that Phil handles the piano like a Liszt. -- Russell A'Neals. "Rusty" is unsettled as to what to do,--to go to school or to work, but he thinks it is the most fun to go to school and live C. O. D. Title A name given to the resource The Delcoan 1925.

Description An account of the resource [page 84] [corresponds to page Eighty] The County Schedule Probably no county in the state is so well organized in athletics as Delaware County. Having twelve good high schools of about equal size and all connected by a good road system, this county is well able to carry on a well formulated schedule. Basketball is the major sport in all these twelve schools, although football, baseball and track come in for their share of honors. In the early part of the year the athletic committee, composed of Arthur S. Postle, chairman, M. V. Thrush and Judson Siddal made out a basketball schedule whereby every team in the county should play every other team. This was to hold for girls' teams as well as for boys' teams. Six county referees were hired to officiate at the games. The committee is making out the schedule tried to arrange so that every school would have half its games at home and half away from home and in so far as possible the games to alternate one at home and one away from home on succeeding Friday nights. All teams of the county agreed to join the Ohio Athletic Association and to be governed by the rules of that body in all contests. A spirit of friendly rivalry prevailed among the schools. Never was a basketball season so characterized by good-sportsmanship as the season of 1924-1925. The participating teams to a man showed themselves to be good winners or good losers as the case might be. Visiting teams were considered as guests of the home teams and given every consideration for their comfort. Probably no one factor has brought the embers of the different communities together so well as the county schedule and tourna- ment. May the county schedule games and the tournament long be a per- manent part of the county school organization. Bellpoint, last year's and this year's state champions, showed during the progress of the county league games that they were going to be again the strong team that they were last year. They finished first in the league, winning all their games. Hyatts, with an almost green team this year, came under the wire second, exhibiting in all their earlier games a fast brand of basketball. It is their proud boast that they even led the Bellpoint team in the first half of the Bellpoint-Hyatts game by a three point margin. Orange, placing third in the league, showed the first fast team from that school in history. Small, unseasoned and inexperienced, they devel- oped into one of the fastest and best passing teams of the county. The County Schedule was a success in every way this year, furnishing motivation for good healthy exercise on the part of the pupils, supplying capital for the schools to equip their teams and renew their libraries and such, and building up in every school that school spirit so necessary for the successful school.

Description An account of the resource [page 85] [corresponds to page Eighty-One] Boys' Basketball Tournament February twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth, in Edward's Gymnasium was held the Delaware County Tournament. Every one of the twelve centralized high schools had their team entered for the annual tilt. Bellpoint was, of course, picked as a prob- able winner but the matter of the runner-up was not so easy to guess. Hyatts was favored to come back to the District Tournament as the County's other representative, since this team had finished second in the league standing. Orange and Ostrander were considered strong contenders for the second honors. The drawing for places took place in Coach Gauthier's office. Each superintend- ent hoped to draw for his team one of the boys which necessarily would come in the first round came when Sunbury eliminated the Hyatts team. The Hyatts bunch had These teams went into the second round of the tournament without playing a game. Galena and Radnor started off the classic with the first game. There never was any doubt of the outcome of the game, Galena easily taking and holding the lead. Bellpoint was playing Powell at the same time on the other court. Powell put up a game scrap against their superior opponents but could hardly hope to cope with the speedy red team. Bellpoint easily won. The only upset of the dope bucket of the first round came when Sunbury eliminated the Hyatts team. The Hyatts bunch had been handicapped by sickness and seemed unable to find themselves and get going throughout the whole game. Ostrander took an easy game from Berlin to complete the first round games. Brown and Center Village, both drawers of byes, started off the second round Friday night. The Brown basketeers easily took the Harlem township lads into camp. At the same time Bellpoint was downing the fighting Galena organization. Galena gave Bellpoint the hardest run perhaps that the champions had throughout the tourna- ment but even at that had the score more than doubled on them. Ostrander and Sun- bury fought one of the best games of the tournament, the west county team however de- feating that from the east. Orange won from Ashley by a small margin. In the first game of the semi-finals the seasoned Bellpoint aggregation doubled the score on the Brown five. The lads from Kilbourne showed a good brand of bas- ketball however considering their showing earlier in the season. Ostrander won the right to play in the final game by downing Orange in one of the good games of the series. The final game between Bellpoint and Ostrander was a faster game than the score would indicate. Ostrander entered the game with vim and determination and demon- strated beyond a doubt their right to come back to the district tournament. Their chances to down the champions were hopeless however. Bellpoint dropped in long baskets that will seemingly and at time showed fine passwork in bringing the ball down to their end of the floor for sucker shots. The game proved Bellpoint's claim to be another champion team. In the District Tournament at Delaware Ostrander fell by the wayside leaving Bellpoint to win that tournament and later the State Tournament at Columbus. The county is proud to have produced a team that has twice carried off the highest honors of the state. Congratulations to the Bellpoint squad and to their coach, Mr. Zimmer.

The team was greatly handicapped by illness but managed to run all their scheduled games and entered the Tri-State Tournament at Cincinnati. Here they were defeated in the fourth round of play. Not to be dismayed they set- tled down to work for the State Tournament and handily won the County and District title for the third consecutive year and the State title for the second. In the two years' playing, 66 games were won and 1 lost. Mc- Millen, Macklin, Thomas Moore, Cox and Bean are playing their last year. Prospects for next year's team are not as encouraging as last year but nevertheless the team should be heard from in County cirlces.

Description An account of the resource [page 93] [corresponds to page Eighty-Nine] Sunbury Boys' Basketball [photo] We enjoy a certain degree of pleasure when we review the basketball season of 1924-25. During this season the Sunbury boys played twenty-two games and won sixteen. They scored 532 points to their opponent's 380. Their average was 728 per- cent. The following are members of the squad: Boyd Hoskinson at lg., was very reliable in guarding his zone, good in recovering the ball and passing it out for fast offense. His place will be hard to fill. Russell Weiss was fast, heady, and a good shot. He was above the average when it came to passing, for his passes were well timed. Weiss made all-county guard. Our right forward was Ralph Piper, Capt. He was one of our main cagers. He was alert in breaking for the open, and usually managed to cut under the basket at the right time. Probably no player on the team was as versatile as Walter Weiser. Walter could adapt himself to the different methods of offense and defense with ease. Weiser put up a great game against Galena and Hyatts as right guard. Harold White, our center, was close and aggressive at guarding. He was one of the main factors which put the vim and punch in the Sunbury offense. Burrell Patrick showed marked ability as a guard. He was alert in recovering the ball, and used good judgment in passing, and has good form in shooting. Ernest Fivaz played center and forward. Ernest has the abilities and qualities of a good basketball player. In the Bellpoint game his guarding floor work and passing was above the average. Altho Owen Meredith seldom played on the first team, yet by his alertness and speed he was a very valuable man on the squad. We can also appreciate the efforts of other second team men, such as Fivaz, Whitney, Lee, Beaver, Fontanelle, Van Auken and Burrer. Title A name given to the resource The Delcoan 1925.

Description An account of the resource [page 96] [corresponds to page Ninety-Two] Girls' County Tournament _________________ A County Tournament was held for the girls' teams of the county this year at the same time and in connection with the boys' tournament. The tournament was managed by Coach Gauthier of Ohio Wesleyan and was held in Edward's Gymnasium of that school. Every one of the twelve county high schools had an entry. There were four byes placed in the first round of games and Brown, Ashley, Powell and Orange were the lucky teams, all going into the second round of games without having to play. The very first game was a complete upset of the dope when Center Village, after showing up rather poorly in the county schedule, eliminated the fast Radnor team by a margin of one point. Berlin and Bellpoint, the other two outstanding teams, came through the first round successfully. Also Hyatts by defeating Ostrander, though overwhelmed by that team in a scheduled game two weeks previous to the tournament, won their way to the second round. The second round was full of surprises. Brown defeated Ashley by two points. Then the scrappy Center Village team defeated Berlin by a seven point margin. Ber- lin had been picked by many to win the tournament. Efficient guarding and the shooting of the tall center on the Harlem Township team dashed the hopes of Berlin. The third game of this round was yet the greatest surprise of all. Bellpoint, last year's champions and the leader in the county league this year, was forced to bow to defeat under the fierce offensive of the Hyatts girls. In this game Hyatts first showed the speed that was destined to win for them the cup. In the last game of the round Powell defeated Orange in a slow game. The third round, or semi-finals saw the defeat of the plucky Center Village team, that had downed two formidable foes, by the Brown team. Hyatts easily won from the Powell delegation. In the final game in the evening the regulars of the Hyatts team failed to appear when the game was called. One regular and three substitutes, four in all, were all Coach Postle had on hand to start the game. Against such a representation Brown started their scoring machine working and by the end of the first quarter had run up a half dozen points while Hyatts had failed to mark. By the second quarter the miss- ing Hyatts players had appeared and were at once enlisted in the fight. By the end of the half Hyatts was trailing by one point only Brown failing to score again. The end of the game saw the Hyatts basketeers leading by the safe margin of five points and carrying the coveted cup to a resting place in the Hyatts archives. _______________ GIRLS TOURNAMENT FIRST ROUND SECOND ROUND THIRD ROUND FINALS Center V. 8 Brown 9 Brown 11 Brown 6 Radnor 7 Ashley 7 Center V. 5 Hyatts 11 Berlin 10 Center V. 10 Hyatts 14 Galena 5 Berlin 3 Powell 4 Sunbury 3 Bellpoint 8 Bellpoint 8 Hyatts 10 Hyatts 11 Powell 7 Ostrander 2 Orange 4 Title A name given to the resource The Delcoan 1925.

Description An account of the resource [page 109] [corrresponds to page One Hundred and Five] County Oratorical Contest Again the world is saved for another year. That is, if said world will accept and put in practice the advice of the twelve budding orators who dispensed the truth concerning the great problems of the universe at the annual oratorical contest held in Gray Chapel, Friday evening, April 24, 1925. There is no star too distant for our ambitious high school student to attempt to lasso and harness to his oratorical wagon; no grandiloquent utterance of a statesman, laboring under the stress of tragic events, that he can not use for harness. And yet when we look over the subjects of the orations and listen to the pleas of these effervescent young people, we realize that their ardor is the ardor of those who have not been chilled by the cold indifference of standpatism, and their candor, the candor of those who believe, in their innocence, that the truth will make men free. The contest was a close one. By rankings, Henrietta Van Gundy of Bellepoint School tied with Beatrice McCumber of Hyatts for first place. Only by referring to the percentage markings of the judges could this tie be broken. This plan gave Miss McCumber first place and Miss Van Gundy second. Mason Hayes of Sunbury took third place. There was not a wide range in grades, from highest to lowest; all handled their sub- jects very creditably. Miss McCumber's oration was entitled "Legalized Murder," and was an appealing plea for the abondment of capital punishment in Ohio. We will stand aside and let the orator herself speak. "It is almost unbeliev- able that we can live in the twentieth century, in a so called Christian state, in the center of a Christian country and yet renounce all Christian teachings to the extent that we, as a state take into our hands that ven- geance which is God's alone. For 'Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord.' It must be hard for the chaplain of the penitentiary to try to soothe the condemned man by telling him that "God is love' and that thru Christ, all sins may be forgiven; when the laws of Ohio will not forgive, nor even give the man the rest of his natural lifetime to make his peace with God. Christ, the Great Teacher, once had occasion to say 'he who is with- out sin among you, let him first cast a stone.' What would Christ's stand be toward capital punishment, were he an Ohio citizen today?" * * * "Yet so long as we sanction the present law we are joint executioners along with the one who actually does the killing. If we believe in Ohio, and I'm sure we do, we will want it to be the fairest and cleanest state in the union and a state to be proud of. To do that each one of us must bring our influence to bear thru the home, the club, the school, the church and the ballot, to remove from the future pages of Ohio's history that stain of legalized murder, known as capital punishment." And when we remember that all of the orations were on this high plane of earnest thinking why should we worry about our young people-- more power to them. In spite of the closeness of the contest there was very general satis- faction with the result and the whole county congratulates Miss McCumber upon her success and Hyatts school upon its product.

There are now 154 departments in the state with a total enrollment of 3,900 boys; and plans now under way will increase the number of departments to 200 for the coming school year. Twenty-five boys enrolled in the department at Ashley last Fall. The vocational course consists of one year courses in each of the following: Animal Husbandry, Farm Crops and Horticulture, Farm engineering, Farm Shop, elected generally in the Sophomore year. One and one-fourth credits are given for each course except Farm Shop. The Smith-Hughes judging team, Merlin Martin, Curtis Martin, Marvin Hack, and Blaine Bishop maintained the formes record of Ashley in the State Judging Con- test at the State Fair. They won second place competing with one hundred Smith Hughes teams and received $100.00 and a beautiful pennant as a prize. This makes second place five years in succession and third place the first year. The Club judging team, Curtis Martin, Marvin Hack and Blaine Bishop won the club judging contest at the International Livestock Show at Chicago during the first week of December.

Malavon Dennis, Helen Martin and Mary Hurlow won trips to Chicago as prize win- ners in the girls sewing club. Mr. Hugh Bishop accompanied the local instructor to Chicago and assisted in caring for the group of twelve that represented Ashley at the International. They joined the 1500 other boys and girls from all over the United States and Canada and had one of the busiest weeks of their lives. The Community is to be congratulated on making possible this trip and showing such a wonderful spirit of corporation by uniting the various community agencies to make the trip possible. The boys and girls had the opportunity of hearing men of wealth, industry, and influence talked in terms of things international in scope and surely gave them a broader vision of accomplishing things worth while. All this should result in more concentrated effort, even in their High School work. Title A name given to the resource The Delcoan 1925.

Some 40 boys had had training during the year and in the reorganization, seniors in high school dropped out and seventh grade boys entered, the troop starting with 32 boys for the second year. The four patrols com- peted twice during the year in points scored in tests and good turns performed. The Lions and Foxes shared honors in the events. The program for the year in addition to the prescribed scoutcraft included weekly meetings for fun and work, a summer camp for 15 members some distance from home, a Lyceum course of five numbers financed and arranged for the community, a leading part in an Athletic Badge Contest for the School, demonstrations of flag etiquette and first aid work for community gatherings, participation in patriotic celebrations, guest meetings for mothers and fathers, hikes and attendance at the Columbus Scout Circus. The Citizens' Scout Committee and School officials have endorsed the work for the third year and 30 boys from the sixth grade to the juniors in High School have signed enrollment blanks for 1925-26.

Now, as every wise person must surely know, the Girl Scouts are very near kin to the fairies. The fairies have a good queen whom they adore, but the Girl Scouts have a captain, to whom they tell their joys and woes and whom they too adore. Oh! but I've made a big mistake. This merry troop is no longer little. It has leaped from a dwarf of eight members to a giant of twenty-four scouts in a truly miraculous fashion. But although it is larger, it is still the happiest, thriftiest, friend- liest, busiest, and most useful Scout Troop in the whole, wide world. These Girl Scouts have a way about them of making a game of all their work, so if you would hear them tell it you would think that they were always playing. But they really brighten their corner of this jolly old world a great deal. Of course it is a heap easier for any one to be gay in the spring, let alone Fairies and Girl Scouts. Therefore the jocund troop has settled down to good hard work on tests. Already there have been many pins earned. So now we will leave them, and perhaps some other time I will have another happy tale to tell about the Gay Girl Scout Troop of Kilbourne. Butterflies and Busy Bees.

Edgar Bagley Sec'y Agnes Clymer Orange Literary Societies When the Freshmen entered High School and found they were to participate in literary societies they resented the fact to a small degree but through the assurance and help of the older and more experience students they went in and showed their hidden abilities to an increasing advantage. As entertainers in the musical line there were a few outstanding individuals. In fact when the time came for the last literaries we think the Freshmen really were looking for more worlds to conquer. Such is the aim of our literary societies--not to be drudges but pleasures to per- formers and others that listen and get help and instruction from what they hear. After each program we had a critic who was rather severe on loafers but those that deserved praise got it which encouraged them to go even farther and earn more suc- cesses in the future. Among the outstanding features in the course of the literaries were two debates. One was "Resolved, that capital punishment should be abolished" another was "Re- solved, that the city is the best place for a child to grow up." These were well de- livered and interesting. Our debate teams were said by many to be equal to previous county teams. Title A name given to the resource The Delcoan 1925.

Description An account of the resource [page 125] [corresponds to page One Hundred and Twenty-One] Orange Orange High School has been rapidly progressing in all literary line due to hard work and good coaching by Supt. Southwick. Orange won both county debates. The affirmative team from Hyatts, 3-0, the negative team from Bellpoint, 2-1 on the question of the League of Nations. As there will not be any debates this year we will not have the chance to do the same work and win as marked a success as last year. Our orator for last year, Oscar Clymer, received second honors. This year our orator is Mae Phinney and her subject if "Lift Thine Eyes." Our literary work ths year seems to have developed better debates than formerly. There has been evident a spirit of friendly rivalry between our literary societies thereby insuring equal development for both. In the program which our literaries gave jointly on March 13, 1925, ten were chosen from the Philomathean and nine from the Lincoln society. However the Lincolns evened up the count by having a member of their society chosen as county orator for this year. Those people picked for special work on the program were picked according to the ability shown in the literary programs of the year. Credit in the program should especially be given to Mabel Rainier who showed outstanding ability in her different parts in singing. Also Estelene Clymer was chosen for a reading in the beginning because about twice in the past year she has proved an effective pacemaker. Agner Clymer has proved one of the most versatile. She merriment we depended about on the four High School classes. Program Given March 13, 1925 High School Chorus ...............................................

Some young college girls decide to give a party for their young gentlemen friends in spite of the matron and faculty supervision. Kathleen, the Irish maid discovers the girls plot and helps them out by lending a clothes-basket to draw the young men up from the ground. Jonas, the janitor or handy-man lends a rope with which to pull up the young gentlemen. Prof. Edgerton discovers the basket, gives the signal and is pulled half-way up before the girls discover who it is. Life action is added to the party when the matron walks into the room.

Description An account of the resource [page 133] [corresponds to page One Hundred and Twenty-Nine] The Sunbury Glee Club The Glee Club is one of the outstanding organizations in the school. It affects a larger number of the students than any of the other extra curriculum activities, since from its very nature a larger number can take part. The success of the organization is due largely to the capable leadership of Mr. Neilson, who has supervised the music in the High School for a number of years. The operetta "Polished Pebbles" which was given in April of last year was one of the finest performances that has been given here in recent years. Mr. Neilson is ably assisted in his work with the club by Miss Houston, who is also pianist for the organ- ization. The Glee Club has been active this year, having rendered its services during the special meetings held at each of the local churches during the winter. The climax of the Club's season will come when they present the operetta "The Pioneer Papoose" in the new auditorium sometime in the early part of May. This entertainment may also be given at some of the neighboring villages if time permits. The Club has worked hard, and deserves a great deal of credit for the work it has done. We hope that it will continue in its good work, and feel sure of its success while under its present leadership. THE ORCHESTRA The Orchestra also responds to Mr. Neilson's baton, which quite frequently takes the form of a clarinet. It has helped out a great deal in providing music at our High School exercises. We hope that next year a larger number may be enrolled in this organization. BASE BALL Sunbury High School has long been recognized through out the county for her championship base ball teams. Last year her team was as successful as of yore, de- feating such high class teams as Johnstown, Galena, Hyatts and Centerburg. She suffered defeat at the hands of Aquias High of Columbus by a score of 4-2. Similar to all athletic teams she has a few outstanding stars who merit words of praise. Hoskinson--Catcher--One of the best base ball players in our county. He is our "clean up" man, and the best slugger on the team. He has that rare gift, "base ball brains." Clark--Pitcher--A find for the future. He has worlds of smoke, and plenty of curve. Weiss--Pitcher--As a High School pitcher Weiss ranks in a class by himself. He has smoke, a fast curve, control and base ball sense. Dearing--1st base--His lean and lanky build and fielding ability make him a valuable player. Roof--2nd base--The slow but sure type of player. Not a grand stand player, but a fighter. Barker--s. s.--Deane is fast, a perfect infielder, and the most difficult man to strike out on the team. White--3rd base--A fast man with a cannon ball peg to first. Also a good man with the stick. Weiser--l. f.--A sterling outfielder, and one of the most consistent hitters on the team. Piper--c. f.--To have a fly ball drop near center field is fatal, for in our memory Piper has never missed. Competition for right field is keen. Fivaz, Laughery and Patrick have the edge.

For the last several years we have been rather hampered in our old quarters, and we feel that now a new spur will be felt which will be to the advan- tage of all our school activities. On November 4, 1923 the Sunbury District voted favorably on the project of a $75,000 bond issue for building an addition on the old High School building. Mr. Porter as architect, drew up the plans, and the con- tract was let to Mr. Hopper of Delaware. Work began almost immedi- ately, and progressed rapidly with the result that on January 16 we dedi- cated the new gymnasium by a Basketball game with Center Village. The building is completed with the exception of some of the equipment for the various departments. Most of the equipment has been purchased. In addition to the regular recitation rooms the building contains a combination auditorium and gymnasium capable of seating about six hundred and providing ample stage room for all entertainments, locker rooms and shower baths, a large study hall with library in connection, and well equipped laboratories for Physics, Chemistry, Manual Training, and Domestic Science.

Description An account of the resource [page 137] [corresponds to page One Hundred and Thirty-Three] Hyatts Literary Societies One of the outstanding features of this school year which provided some excellent training and no little amount of merriment was the organi- zation at the beginning of the year of two literary societies. They took unto themselves the names of "Leonida" and "X L". The Leonidas Society chose Ruth Ashbury as their president and Dorothy Hall for secretary. No probability of finances made a treasurer unnecessary. The X L society chose William Winters to head the group and Helen Stockdale to keep a strict and accurate account of all pro- ceedings. During the year each side gave a complete program to which they invited the other side as well as relatives and friends. On February 28th the two societies gave a joint program to which the public at large was invited. Some of the outstanding numbers on this program were: "The Man in the Bowler Hat", a one-act play, "Some Whoppers", or the stories you read about, "Choosing a Valentine", or a revision of the family album, and a number of readings and songs that delighted the audience. This program was the crowning success of the year. Operetta--"El Bandido" The big musical feature of the year was the rendition of the musical comedy "El Bandido". This was a Spanish operetta and special settings and costumes were used in the portrayal of this story of Spanish life. Mrs. Jeanette Gooding-Harter, our music teacher was the director of the play. Miss Whittier coached all the drills for it and the settings were prepared by the manual training class under the leadership of Mr. Utley. Below is the cast of characters of the play: CAST OF CHARACTERS Night Watchman ---------------------------------- Ward Johnson Don Manuel, an Artist visiting Antiquera -------- Ralph Hardin Juan, Don Manuel's Servant ----------------------- Truman Bell Bartolo, Landlord of San Fernando Pasada ----- William Winters Donna Cyrilla, Belle of Antiquera ------------ Nora Faye Jones Don Lozono, Captain in Spanish Army -------------- Arthur Ross Tona, a Soldier -------------------------------- Kenneth Raile Jose Maria, A Famous Brigand -------------------- Ralph Hardin Carlos, Cyrilla's Brother ------------------------ Russel Tone Title A name given to the resource The Delcoan 1925.

Description An account of the resource [page 170] [corresponds to page unnumbered One Hundred and Sixty-Six] THE SULPHUR SPRING OHIO WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY Memory of Rutherford B. Hayes is forever linked with Ohio Wesleyan University by the famous Sulphur Spring on the Univer- sity campus where according to tradition he wooed and won Lucy Webb. Names of many famous men have become linked with that of Ohio Wesleyan University since the days of long ago when the future president and Lucy Webb "sparked" by the Sulphur Spring. Many men and women who became leaders in the varied walks of life have gone forth from Ohio Wesleyan's halls. Many of these have been sons and daughters of Delaware County. Graduates of Delaware County High Schools are especially welcome at Ohio Wesleyan. Therefore the importance of early application for registration is urged particularly upon these "home folks." Ohio Wesleyan de- sires to accomodate all Delaware County students who wish to en- roll but due to the heavy demand for registration these students must make application early if this is to be accomplished. Girls should be especially sure to register early. Registration for women closed this year in March; registration in the class entering in September 1926 will probably be filled by January 1926.
