As Mrs. John H. Wagner and children were going home from town last evening, one of the little ones was run over and knocked down by a bicycle whose rider did not stop to see the result of his carelessness. The child was rendered unconscious, but not seriously hurt. A bicycle has no more legal right on the pavements than a log wagon or dray. There is no sense in having good pavements made dangerous for those who walk.

Honors came to Dr. and Mrs. Lon Cooper when they attended a five-day meeting of the Ohio Podiatry Association held in the Neil House, Columbus last week. Dr. Cooper was re-elected secretary-treasurer of the state association.

Mrs. Cooper was chosen as the association’s “Woman of the Year” by members of the Ohio Podiatry Association.

ANNA – There are no ingenious tricks to pull or magic wands to wave. Successful teaching comes more from an understanding of human nature – the need for mutual respect and to involve what the students know and feel into what the teacher wants them to learn.

These are among the rudiments that Patricia Adams, high school English teacher, and Virginia Thompson, sixth grade teacher, have instilled in their approach to teaching, and it appears to have worked. This year each received their second award as Teacher of the year in the Anna Local School District.
