AUGUST 9TH.C-BUILDING TOO
8MALL FOR ENROLLMENT
The prospects for building a new
school building was tbe chief matter
ot discussion at the meeting of the
school board held yesterday afternoon.
Por some time this matter has been
discussed and once was presented
to the people fqr a vote but was defeated. Conditions In the past year
have arose so as to make the matter
again Important.
It la a known fact that the present
school building Is not large enough to
accommodate the students already
enrolled. Many of the lower grades
have been compelled to go half-day
sessions and also the sixth grade In
the past year has been compelled to do
likewise. Figures show that a half-
day session Is not as beneficial as a
whole day and it Is the object of the
board to eliminate this condition.
As the matter siood In the past
school year, new rooms were also put
Into condition so as to make room for
all tha students and In this way made
the other necessary facilities congestive.
Tlve high achool has also been
crowded this year since the Junior
high were obliged to use part of the
high school rooms.
The board Is planning to present at
, the next election which will be at the
primaries on August 9, a bond Issue to
the amount of $125,000. It may seem
a large sum of money but taking into
consideration what other towns that
are much smaller than Amherst are
doing, the sum Is small. At present,
Dover Center, which is located between Blyria and Cleveland, la working on presenting a bond issue for a
new school on the same scale. Reports show that they have had no opposition In the matter. Dover la a
smalltown but ita citisens are interested tn a good school and are ot the
opinion that a good building Is an important factor In school work.
New London, Vermilion and Oberlln
are working on a bond lasue of over
$800,000.
The board have discussed the $186,-
000 bond issue and are sure that they
can handle the matter with very little
difficulty. They are also planning to
preaent to the people before election
Juat the kind of school they are intending to build. And even more than
that, they will give anyone the opportunity to consult the members of the
board and give suggestions and In this
way they will be able to make plans
according to the voice of the people.
The matter of a new building or adding on to the present one has been discussed fully, by the board and both
plans are favorable. Work will be
continued throughout the summer on
plans which will afford sufficient time
tor suggestions.
It is a matter to he thought about

TETANUS (LOCKJAW).
vnts-w^ji PBfliP'iftttS quiuiiaainirj.**iiufle*ip nniiLi iranrj _. '*niiJT. m
During the summer months barefoot hoys frequently run nails into
their feet. From auch wounds tetanus tlockjaw) may develop.
The wound produced by running a
nail Into the foot la called a "puncture-wound." Air cannot penetrate to
the bottom of it. For thla reason a
puncture wound la suited for the
growth ot the germ that causes lockjaw.
If lock-jaw germs were greatly magnified they would look like nails. They
grow In the absence of air or oxygen. Their home is the digestive
track of herbivorous animals, notice-
bly the horse. Outalde the body they
are Inactive but resist atmospheric
Influences. These germs are widely
disseminated in nature. They are
abundant in manure, rich garden soil
and street dust.
When a bare-foot boy tramps on a
nail It la possible he has driven some
of these germs into hia foot. In auch
a wound, where there ia little air or
oxygen, the conditiona are ideal for
rapid growth and multiplication. A
deadly poison la produced which travels along the nerve trunk to the brain
and gives rise to the symptoms of
lock-jaw.
The aymptoma of lock-jaw usually
develop tn from 4 to 10 daya after the
accident has happened. The patient
develops a stiffness of the muscles of
the face and neck. The oye-brows may
be raised and the angles of the mouth
drawn out, giving rise to a character
tstic grin. Letter the muscles of the
body may be Involved, ao that there
may be a marked over-exteutlon of
the back—the body being supported
by the heels aud head. Noises increase the apaamodlc contractions ot
the muscles, caualug agonising pain.
Usually the sufferer la bathed tn a
profuse aw cut. At flrat there is no
fever hut towards the end the temperature rises. The mind remains
ctaar. Ths picture ia terrible. Pre>
ventlon Is d<atn«ndrt.
LOVELAND— BALZER.
Miss Katherlne E. Halzer became
the bride of Mr. Hiram F. Loveland
of Monticello, Minnesota, at a quiet
wedding ceremony, performed at the
St. Peter's Evangelical church this
morning by the Rev. A. Egli. The
double ring ceremony was used. Mr.
and Mrs. Wm. Ehrman of Cleveland
avenue, attended' the couple.
The bride Is a niece of Mrs. John
Ruth, ot Amherst, and Is a graduate
of Elyria high school and also a graduate of Lake Erie college, located ut
Palnesvllle, Ohio. She also has taken
a post-graduate course at Syracuse
University. She has been employed
as a teacher of mathematics at the
high school In Fostoria.
The groom Is a graduate of the
Seminary at Cazenvla, New York. He
also has been In active service with
the American army serving on the
Mexican border In 1916. and again In
Prance In the late war. He spent 18
months in France with the 86th company of Engineers.
The couple left Immediately after
the ceremony for Chicago, where they
wiW spend their honeymoon, and from
there they will make their home In
Monticello, Minnesota, where Mr.
Loveland is in business.

Hospital Notes
Mrs. Martin Ruth of South Amherat
underwent an operation yesterday at
the local hospital.
Fortunately an antitoxin has been
produced for lock-jaw. If the antitoxin la given before symptoms de
velop tetanus may be preventi-J. After the toxlna of the lockjaw garm
have been permitted to destroy the
nervous tissue, ull that can be done
by administering antitoxin is to neutralize the existing poison. The In-
Jury which has been done to the nervous system by the toxins cannot be
remedied.
Therefore, when a child ruin a null
In his foot, a physician should be consulted at once so that the wound may
receive proper local treatment and an
Immunizing dose ot lockjaw antitoxin administered. Sometimes the public may wonder why the physician
radically ope;is these wounds. The
object is to thoroughly ventilate the
wound, since the lockjaw germs do
not grow in the presence of air. Profuse bleeding also tends to wash the
lockjaw germs out of the wound.
Common experience teaches us that
many wounds heal without lockjaw
developing. As a mutter of fact, to
tonus is relatively rare. However,
penetrating wounds should be treated
radically, so that the possibilities of
lockjaw are minimized.
In America, Fourth of July wounds
(blank cartridges) have frequently
been followed by fatal lockjaw. Iu
these cases the source of the genus ts
not clear. They are probably not in
the cartridges but ou the skin and are
oarried Into the tissues by the puper
and powder. Juat as In the case of
a puncture-wound, theae wounds favor the growth of tetanus germs. For
this reason, Fourth ot July wounds
should receive local treatment and the
patient should be given a porphy lactic
dose of lockjaw antitoxin.
Since the campaign for a "aafe and
sane" celebration ot the Fourth of
July, for radical treatment of penetrating wounds, and for prophylactic
use ot lockjaw antitoxin, a great many
tetanus oases have been prevented.
Herbert Schneider underwent a minor operation yesterday.
Mrs. Frank Franklin was admitted
to the hospital yesterday.
MrB. I. H. Fenatermancher and baby
wero discharged from the hospital
yeaterday.
Edward Hough, who has been confined to tho hospital for several days,
va.i Use liaised yesterday.
Th ■ condition of Charles Edwards,
who' was admitted to the hospital a
.mure time ago, Is improving.

PRIMARIES WILL VOTE ON $126,000.00 ISSUE AUGUST 9TH.C-BUILDING TOO 8MALL FOR ENROLLMENT The prospects for building a new school building was tbe chief matter ot discussion at the meeting of the school board held yesterday afternoon. Por some time this matter has been discussed and once was presented to the people fqr a vote but was defeated. Conditions In the past year have arose so as to make the matter again Important. It la a known fact that the present school building Is not large enough to accommodate the students already enrolled. Many of the lower grades have been compelled to go half-day sessions and also the sixth grade In the past year has been compelled to do likewise. Figures show that a half- day session Is not as beneficial as a whole day and it Is the object of the board to eliminate this condition. As the matter siood In the past school year, new rooms were also put Into condition so as to make room for all tha students and In this way made the other necessary facilities congestive. Tlve high achool has also been crowded this year since the Junior high were obliged to use part of the high school rooms. The board Is planning to present at , the next election which will be at the primaries on August 9, a bond Issue to the amount of $125,000. It may seem a large sum of money but taking into consideration what other towns that are much smaller than Amherst are doing, the sum Is small. At present, Dover Center, which is located between Blyria and Cleveland, la working on presenting a bond issue for a new school on the same scale. Reports show that they have had no opposition In the matter. Dover la a smalltown but ita citisens are interested tn a good school and are ot the opinion that a good building Is an important factor In school work. New London, Vermilion and Oberlln are working on a bond lasue of over $800,000. The board have discussed the $186,- 000 bond issue and are sure that they can handle the matter with very little difficulty. They are also planning to preaent to the people before election Juat the kind of school they are intending to build. And even more than that, they will give anyone the opportunity to consult the members of the board and give suggestions and In this way they will be able to make plans according to the voice of the people. The matter of a new building or adding on to the present one has been discussed fully, by the board and both plans are favorable. Work will be continued throughout the summer on plans which will afford sufficient time tor suggestions.
