ED. NEWS: AS for the past ten
years. Lawrence County has again
had more than her share of
students in the State College at
Lexington this year. Notwith-
standing the fact that the college
Is $50 miles from Louisa, Law
renee county hardly ever fails to
send more students than any other
county except Fayette, and the
quality Of her students will COM
pare as favorably as the quantity.
II should be gratifying to know
that our people are realizing the
advantage OF an education.
Those matriculated in the col
lege this year were: Miss Willie
Muncy, Miss Sophronia Webb,
Lyss CARED, George Carey, John
Woods. Luther Walter, Jim Akers,
Jamison Vaughan, Bascom DIAM
ond, and John Waugh.
CARED, Carey and Woods figured
prominently on the football field
last fall where CARED will be great
ly missed next year, as he has COM
pleted his course Of study here,
taking the degree of b. M. T., and
will probably go out TO "battle with
the world"
Carey and Woods also entered
some Of the events in Field Day
Sports, Carey coming in just but
ton behind the winner OF the 100
yards dash, and Woods winning the
medal for putting the pound shot
(what the readers would probably
call throwing l6 pound weight
Record 30 feet, 8 inches.
Miss Muncey, Miss Webb, Wal
tiers, Akers, Diamond and Waugh
were students In the Normal de-
l'partment, and were only for the
last ) months term. These were
all highly spoken OF by Prof.
Roark, principal of the Normal de-
partment. and II seemed from the
beginning that in the debates which
took place in the literary societies
each week, the decision always fell
on the same side we were on.
Since nothing can improve a
country more than to set a high
standard for teachers OF common
! schools, it is gratifying to see our
young teachers grasping this OPP
portunity.
Freelyadmitting that our Normal
Department is not all that it should
be we truly believe ii TO be the best
available. Although it mas not
given some Of our students salts
faction this year, we hope they will
return next year with their friends
and find an ideal normal sch Dol,
Besides Lawrence's representa-
tives our section was represented
by four from Boyd Co, two from
| Floyd and two from Martin.
lisa recommendation here to
be from Big Sandy and especially
from Lawrence Co., so if any of
YOU come here don't forget to tell
where you are from the first thing.
It will probably be pleasing es-
pecially TO parents to know that
every male student from Lawrence
1 this year, with possibly the exeep-
ton Of one, has taken active inter-
estin the Young Mems Christian
Association, a christian organizes
ton among the students.
Carey and Woods each have two
more years in college, Carey in the
Mechanical Engineering and
Woods in the Classical Course
Walters can also complete tic
Normal Course in two more years
Most of the Big Sandians left be-
fore commencement, and now they
are all at home except CARED. liz

he is expecting to take a position
as inspector on the Brick stree
