Is This A Monopoly In School Hiring
At a teachers association meeting last Saturday a resolution barred new applications by holders of any certificate without consulting the incumbent, and declared that offering less pay than a current teacher justifies withholding certification. The measure would grant lifelong station to incumbents and limit directors' choices, an unfairsounding policy. A separate resolution requiring examiners to stick to textbooks in question preparation was rejected.

Adams County Claims First Ohio Methodist Church Honor
In Ohio centennial remarks Adams County is credited with the state’s first Methodist church in Jefferson township near Manchester. The 1791 church began in Joseph Moore’s home, then a 1798 log building, later replaced by a raised memory of early travels, song, and gatherings, recognizing Adams County as the seed of righteousness in the era. Other counties note earlier societies and places, but Adams County’s claim and historic sites like the stone pile and Clermont county’s Hopewell persist in memory.
