The fact that 40 per cent, of the
women teachers who drop out of the
Ohio schools each year do so to marry
is no argument against the special
training of teachers by the state in
the opinion of President H. B. Will
iams of the Bowling Green state nor
mal school.
"Every five years the teaching
force of the women in northwestern
Ohio changes," he declares. "And 40
per cent of the dropping out of the
teaching service Is due to marriage.

The coming state conventions of
the Democratic, Republican and Bull
Moose parties next week hold the at
tention of state politicians. These
conventions will adopt the platforms
on which the state candidates will
make their fights for office this fall.
There will be between 300 and 400
delegates to each convention as fol
lows: All state candidates except ju
dicial; candidates for the state legis
lature; members of state excutiva
and central committees; and chair
men of central and executive com
mittees. Prolonged debates are . eliminated
by law. The statute says that plat
forms must be made public by Thurs
day night or two days after the con
vention convenes.
There is much speculation as to
what stands the different parties will
take on the state-wide prohibition and !
woman suffrage fights now on in the i
Ohio.
Democrats are expected to "stand
on their record." and dare the op
position to take off any of the laws
written on the statute books by the
present administration.
