The lnefficiency Of Kentucky's School
Law

The Hickman Courier says:
Kentucky is a great State to make
laws and a poor one to enforce them.
A few more days and our schools will
open, but it's dollars to doughnuts
that there Will be many children of
school age who will not see the inter-
Tor of a school building.
BY reason of some ones neglect
the State is able to furnish these sta
tistics: One-fourth of the white chill
dren of Kentucky between the ages of
10 and II are not in school, and one
half of the children of school age
are not in school, Almost three
fourths of the children Of school age
live in the rural districts. There are
,2SS old log schoolhouse in the rural
districts. There are 4.107 schools
without seats and blackbuards. There
are 1854 schools without globes, maps
charts and other suitable educational
AIDS. In percentage Of illiteracy OF her
white population, Kentucky Is forty
second in the scale. Think Of it!

The Hartford Republican essays to
rebuke The Herald because we pub
lished last week an article taken from
and credited to the Springfield Sun
which contained an excerpt from the
Glasgow Times, charging Mr.. Taft
with having said that "a dollar a day
and plenty of fat meat is enough for
any working man." Mr.. Taft denies
this, but theTimes says it can name its
informant, and it is merely matter
of veracity between the latter and the
Presidential candidate, TheHerald hav-
ing said not a word in comment
thereon.

the Kentucky State Fair Company re-
