The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1907-01-10

Dr. A. List, president of the school
board, is a sincere man, built on con-
sentative lines, and If ever there
were indications of the need of such
man in any deliberative body, the
Paducah school board manifested
them the first meeting night. APP
parently flushed with victory, but
lacking fnesse, the majority proceed
ed to ride, not only over a minority
of protest, but over the constitution
and charter. DR.. List will do well to
curb the floor manager. The board
seems practically of one mind, so
there is no reason why the trustees
should not accomplish their ends in
.decency and order. There may come
a time in the life of the board when
regularity will decide a crisis. 1t
may undertake to build a school or
accomplish some other extraordinary
design, and some taxpayer may OBJ
ject to the cost, and institute pro-
ceedings in injunction Then the
records Of the body and the qualiica-
tions of its members will be scrut-
inized by lawyers as competent to in
terpret the law as w. T. Byrd, if
more modest. When the board was
ready to organize the qualifications
of a trustee-elect were questioned.
Promptly w. T. Byrd declared
the law, disqualifying him, uncon-
stitutional and he was sustained
Next W. 7. Byrd declared that no
bond Is necessary for a secretary,
and by the same vote he was sus-
tanned. Then w. T. Byrd was nomi-
mated for secretary and by the same
vote he was elected, although the
charter plainly provides that no trus-
tee shall receive remuneration dur
ing his term Of Office Verify, this is
a Byrd of a board.

We heartily commend the action
of the High School Alumni associa-
ton and the Woman's club In their
efforts to promote the love of the
beautiful among the school children.
1t is to the children we must always
turn in the hope of effecting reform.
Some times We grow impatient of re-
suits and endeayor to revolutionize
things, but we always fail. Grown
people have formed their habits and
their adult natures are unresponsive
to new ideals. The children are more
receptive Of new and better impress
sions. If we would have more beau
tiful homes a more beautiful city,
land a better community life. we
must educate the coming generation
to our ideals.
