islation. We give the proposed changes
which these bills are intended to make
in the school laws of the state and

Changes.
. The shorter of the two bills is H. B
No. 16 presented by Mr. Hoaglin and
is to amend those sections relating to
. school district funds. Section 4763 is
amended to read, " In all village and
rural school districts the county
treasurer shall be the treasurer of the
school funds of such districts."
Section .7600 amended to make it
obligatory -on the part of county
auditors to apportion state common
school funds as follows: "Each school
district within the county shall re
ceive thirty dollars for each teacher
employed in such district, and .the
balance or the such funds shall he
based upon the enrollment of pupils
in the schools of such districts. En
rollment for the purpose of this sec
tion shall be considered to mean not
less than one hundred days attend
ance during the school year." If an
enumeration of the youth of any dis
trict has not been taken and returned
for any year "and the enrollment has
not been certified to the county aud
itor", such district shall not' be en
titled to receive any portion of that
fund. Money received from the state
on account of interest. on the common
is provided, in the section for the ap
propriation of the 'common school
fund". '
' Section 7602 which relates to the
Interest on the proceeds of sale or
land granted by congress for the sup
port of public schools, for townships
or fractional township situated in two
or more counties, is so amended as to
direct that such interest money shall
be apportioned "as is provided for
the apportionment of the state com
mon school funds in section 7600" and
certified and payed to - the proper
school officers In "section 7601". ,
Sections 7604 and 7605 which are
mentioned in this bill relate to the

Her toil is past, her work is' done,
And we believe she's truly blest.
She fought the fight, the victory won
And entered into rest.
Then let our sorrows cease to flow,
God has : recalled his own,
But let our hearts in every woe,
Still say thy will be done.

wife and mother; also the donors of
the many beautiful floral offerings.
Truman Stevens and Family.
The Attitude of the State Board of
- Health on the Subject. Resolution
' Passed by the Board Under Which
It is Now Acting.
The following copy of resolution
passed, by the State Board of Health
has been received at the Tribune of
fice from E. F- McCampbell, Ph. D.
M. D., secretary and executive officer
of that board:
Whereas, smallpox is now prevail
ing to an unusual -extent in Ohio and
other states, and
Whereas, recent successful vaccina
tion is a certain, and the only known,
means for prevention. .
,Be it resolved: "That boards of
health and boards of education be
urged to require that all children at
tending school shall be successfully
vaccinated.
Be it further resolved: That this
Board condemns the so-called "inter
nal vaccination", believing it to be
non-protective against smallpox, and
adopts the following definition of vac
cination, which was adopted at the
Conference of State and Provincial
Boards of Health of , North America,
held in New Haven, Conn., October
28th, 1902, to-wit: "An inoculation
by scarification, puncture or injection
beneath the epidermis of a vaccine
which produces,, with some constitu
tional disturbance, the typical vaccine,
vesicle, which leaves, after the pock
has healed, its characteristic fscar."

Movement to Raise Funds For Sol
diers Monument Progressing Pat
riotism of Fulton County People Be
ginning to Manifest Itself. ; The
Roll Grows Longer.
Since last week's issue of the Trib
une eight new names have been add
ed to the Roll of Honor and it is quite
evident that the movement to raise
the necessary funds to. erect the long
delayed monument to the memory of
the gallant "Boys in Blue" who went
from Fulton county to the defense of
their country's flag and honor, will
continue to gain in momentum until
the funds are all raised and the peo
p'e of this county have the satisfac
tion of placing this permanent mem
orial to the honor of their heroes and
their own patriotism where it may
stand as a testimonial of the true
Americanism of our population. Last
week the Roll of Honor bore the first
five names given below; to these we
have the pleasure of adding 'eight
more:

will grow. i
We trust that teachers will not
neglect to bring the matter up in their
schools and report the results to the
secretary. . Where schools make a
contribution as schools, certificates
suitable for framing and hanging in
the school room will be issued to them.
Let us work together as a people and
carry this worthy project to success

Since January 6th weather here
has been delightful, bright, sunny
days and little or no f ro3t nights.
Wheat has made such rank growth
that many farmers are turning the
stock on to keep it eaten off and some
have gone over their wheat . fields
with mowing machines 'and cut it
back to keep it from jointing. This
unusual growth of wheat and grass
at this time has been a God send to
farmers here as on account of ex
cessive heat and drouth here last
summer; farmers were poorly sup
plied with feed for their stock.
Prairie hay is selling for $16 per
ton; corn shipped In here sells for 75
cents per bushel, or about $1.05 per
hundred, off cars. There is much
real estate offered ror sale with but
few buyers.

THIRTY TWO YEARS AGO
The Soldiers Monument ' in Fulton
County. Clipping From Republican
of October, 1881, Showing That
This Project Was on the Minds of
-
the People. ,
The following clipping has been,
furnished us by Mrs. Allen Shadle
and is of .interest at this time as
showing that the patriots of thirty
two years ago, some of whom long
since passed into "The Great Beyond"
were not unmindful of the debt of
gratitude due from the people of Ful
ton county to the memory of the sol
diers of the sixties:
That Unfinished Monument.''
October. 1881.
. Editors Republican We . helieve it
to De our duty to direct tne attention
of the people of Fulton county to a
work begun several .years since, but
left unfinished. We refer to the Sol
diers' Monument, the erection of
which was begun in Wauseon at the
close of the Rebellion. The comple
tion of this work, aided by the pat-'
riotic people of the county, the G. A.'
K. of Wauseon, desires to undertake.
x lie ileal y bu-upciaviuu vi c v qi j
man, "woman and child in the county,
irrespective of party, creed, color, or
condition, is desired by the Order. And
we can assure all who have any in
terest in the matter, that those for
merly officially identified with this
monument project are willingnow,
deeming it perfectly proper and meet,
that the monument intended to com-
memorate the self-sacrifice, brave
deeds and patriotism of the soldiers
of Fulton county, should be carried
forward to completion under the man
agement and supervision of their sur-,
viving comrades-in-arms.
A standing committee on comple
tion of the monument with general
and discretionary power, was ap
pointed by Losure Post, G. A. R., at
a regular meeting the first Monday
in September, This committee de
sires to counsel with thei people on
the subject, and to confer with the
committee appointed . in. the incep
tion of the project. This is a matter
that belongs to the people of the
county, and we would be glad -to jsee
a re-awakening of interest in refer
ence to it. A mite contributed by
each one of , the twenty thousand in
habitants of the county would com
nlete the monument. It would be an
ornament to the town, and something
very pathetic would attach to the in
terest and pride in it felt by every
contributor.. It certainly is a morti
fying and humiliating reflection to
her citizens, that Fulton county,
standing perhaps first among' the
newer counties of the state, in intelli
gence, public spirit, and christian mor
ality, lacks the patriotic enterprise to
complete the monument intended to
svmbolize her glowing memory and :
love for the brave men, who, count
ing neither pang nor cost, gave up
ease, home, friends, every sweet and
tender tie. and yielded up their lives
for the honor of the dear old flag, for
freedom and the preservation of the
government. Will not our citizens
think of these things now? and con
trasting our present -.peaceful pros
perity and security, with all the dire
threateninsrs . and dark portents that
lowered over the land from '61 to '65,
resolve that the great sacrifices then
made, which were to banish, disunion,
dishonor, anarchy and slavery for
ever from our midst shall not be
forgotten.

SCHOOL BOARD MEM-
BEKa TO MEET
The Ohio State Association of
School Board members has, through
its executive committee, sent out a
call to school board members and sup
erintendents to attend the 17th an
nual meeting, to be held in Colum
bus, January 29th and 30th. The
nrinciDle toDic for consideration will
be the radical changes in the school
code proposed by the survey com
mission and the governor. As indi
cative of the spirit and purpose of
this meeting, we print the following
extracts from the call:
This coming meeting of our asso
ciation is going to give every man in
rested in the schools of his com
munity a chance to have his say.
. At this meeting, the discussion is
going to be limited to those who want
simply a free and impartial debate as
to the wisdom or these new laws, re
gardless of whether or not there is
any set "plans" to be put over.
Don't fail to nave your ooaro seno
a member, or to have vthe entire
board come. This is your meeting;
come and make it worth something
to all of us. We want a constructive,
not a destructive meeting, even if it
means that, we have to oppose some
legislation which seems at this time
to be hasty or ill-advised.
Wire or write your representative
in the legislature not to vote on school
legislation until after this meeting.

ident of the Association, and Dr. Ed.
Herbst, of Columbus, secretary.
