A Correction
The statistical tables appearing on pages 14, 17 and 22
of the January-
March issue of the QUARTERLY, in "The People of
Ohio's First County,"
by Wayne Jordan, contain a number of inaccuracies due
to a misapprehension
of the Assistant Editor who took the liberty of
changing the totals without
consulting the author. The Editorial Staff of the QUARTERLY
apologizes to
the author, and herewith publishes the corrected
tables, which members of
the Society, and subscribers receiving the QUARTERLY,
are to remove and
paste over the pages involved. The tables are printed
in the following
order: the first table will correct page 14; the second
will correct page 17,
and the third will correct page 22.
