FROM POINTS AROUND.

FROM POlNIS AINOUNDs
REPORTED SPECIALLY FOR THE sTAR.l
DAYTON, KY.-The members of the
Bchool Board should understand that the
people of the city expect them to pro-
vide school facilities for all the children.
There is no excuse for having about half
pf them out Of the schools for want of
room. as was the case last year. Mr..
Martin Betsch, at the last meeting,
hitter threatening to resign If his
Views were not accepted by the
Board, took occasion to call attention to
i'how it will show on us at the next cleo
tion." II that Is his idea OF q fultillment
pf the duties of such place, he should
resign, and that promptly. Martin-is q
plever and experienced merchant, good
barber, and an excellent manipulation OF
balky clocks, but his varied talents
happen to ft him neither for ora1ory
nor for the position of member OF
the School Board. The management of
our schools has always been drawback
to the city, and will be until men can be
selected who have an appreciation OF
rood teachers and feel the necessity Of
providing schools for all the children of
the city. A part Of the present Board
are men very competent for the position,
but there is too much dead weight, we
fear, for them to carry.
