Dissatisfaction Over the Result
Expressed by Representatives
From Other Towns
Who Urged the Claims Of Many Children
Who Could Not 20 From Home.

An all day session was held by
the County Board of Education
Monday at jacksonville, at which
the full board was present and
considerable business was trans
acted. The meeting was presid.
ed over, as usual, by Superia-
tendent A. j. Fox.
The matter of arranging for
free tuition in the high school
branches, to which the children
of the county are entitled under
the new law, was the frst Qaes-
ton taken up in the morning and
the last to be considered at the
close of the day, when time was
given for the introduction of a
resolution by Paul NJ. Moore,
which he had annouRoed ia the
morning he would introduce
when the opportunity was given.
1t was on this resolution that
final diecUssion by the Board
came. fThe resolutieH asked for
a division of the tuition contract
among the various high schools
of Hopkins county, at sDch time
when they might qaRlify under
the law, in order that the chill
dren Of the couRty generally
might enjoy the privilege Of at
tanning a free high school ednca-
tion, and their parents be re-
heved Of the expense of bSItion,
railroad fare and board for their
children who are entitled to
participate ia the advantages
offered under the sew school
law.
The resolatIoa follows:
Whereas, The Legislature,
by an act passed and approved
on the - day of -, 100,
providing for the establishment
of one or more Public High
Schools In each comfy of the
Commonwealth and provided Cor
and created this body to look
after and erect and maintain
such High Schools, aud
Whereas. 1t IS clear from the
reading of said act, that the
purpose of the legislature was to
make it possible and convenient
to every child of school age In
each county to obtain a high
school education at the schools to
be maintained by this Board, and
whereas, The cities of Madi-
sonvllle, darlington, Hanson and |
Dawson Springs are now practi-
cally maintaining and running
high schools in the sense of said
act, and that such cities and
towns are so located as to make
it convenient to every pupil to
attend either one or the other Of
the schools so mentioned, there
fore be it
Resolved, That it is the sense
Of this Board, after full discus
sion, that it make the contract
provided for by said act with the
authorities Of any such cities, or
the school boards of such schools,
for tuition for such pupils as
may qualify themselves and de-
sire to attend either one of such
schools, and further that such
tuition contract be made now or

said, woUld probably have been

they were trying to aveid compel

action that might have been con-
strued as hostile to that t0wn.
All the gentlemea who wereheard
from the outside towns declar-
ed to the Board that very few
pupils could or would go from
their sections to a High School
at MadisonViile, because of dis
lance aud the cost of transpOrta-
ton aud board. They plead for
a distribution of the tuition con-
tract, not as a benefit to their
own local schools but in order
hat the mass of public school
pupils in the county might have
opportunity to get high school
,ducation free of tuition and |
without having to leave home
ind pay railroad fare and board.
They all agreed that Madison
lille should have a county |
high school arrangement but
protested against the proposition
o shut out all the other towns
# the county from participation
n such an arrangement.

ented his resolution and made

ANOTHER INSPECTION
Of Local National Guardsmen 10
be Made While in Camp.
TO DETERMINE THEIR
FITNESS FOR SERVICE.

Preparations are being made
by the Division of Militia Affairs
for an additional inspection of
the National Guard, which has
been decided upon by Assistant
Secretary Oliver on recommend
alton of the National Militia
Board. A circular letter has
beer forwarded to each state in
forming them of the proposed
additional inspection, In which
request is made that in drawing
up the program for the coming
summer encampment, opportun-
ity be given to make the inspec-
ton contemplated by the officer
detailed by the War Department
for that purpose.
The department finds 1t i'm
possible to give any definite in
formation as to the details of the
inspection or as to the time re-
Quired to make them. This will
depend in each case on the size
of the organization and on the
degree of training of the troops.
In general terms, the inspection
will be such as to enable the IN
specting officer to form a definite
opinion as to the features of the
military organization of the
troops, the nature of the arma-
ment and the degree of instruc-
ton.
"The scope of the inspection is
determined by the act of con-
gress, which includes such inqui-
fries blythe inspectors as may be
necessary to establish an ade-
quate knowledge of the nature
of the organization, character of
the armament aud the degree of
discipline, or instruction of the
bodies inspected" says Colonel
Weaver. SIT is difficult to spe-
city the limits and the scope of
such an inspection in more than
general terms, and it as also diff
6c0lt., If not impossible, to de-
signate the time that will be re-
qRired in any particular case.
The scope and time in all cases
will be dependent ca the size of
the organizations to be inspect
ed and on the state of their in
struction. Each inspector will
have 20 determine what is neces-
sary, both as to scope and time,
after he has been brought in con-
tact with the troops.
1.-TWO conditions may arise in
carrying oat these scheme. FIRST
the OMcer designated to make
the inspection may be the officer
detailed by the department. to
be present during the encamp-
ment for instruction purposes.
In such case, the officer would
be able, 1t is assumed to acquire
the necessary information in re.
gard to organization, armament
and discipline in connection with
his duties as instructor without
interfering in any way with the
scheme of instruction. Second,
the officer may be appointed
Tor the purpOie of max
ing the inspection and not the
one detailed as inspector. In this
case, it will be necessary for the |
officer detailed as Instructor TO
arrange, by special correspon-
denee with the military authori-
ties Of the state, for such Oppor-
tunities for making the inspec-
ton as may be thought desirable
by the officer and may be conve-
niently granted by the State au.
thorities. 1.-THE National Guard

pills they would have nothing to
do with the matter.
In contradistinction to the Of
fers of Hanson, Dawson Springs
and Darlington, to take one or
more pupils at $500 per month
tuition, the contract demanded
by jacksonville was that the
Madisonville High School be
gwen the exclusive right for a
term of three years to teach
such pupils, at $500 a month for
the first twenty. five pupils and
$3.50 a mouth for all over
twenty. five, the County Board
to guarantee at least twenty pu-
pills. This means that, under
the terms of the contract, the
County Board must pay the Mad
isonville High School the tuition
for twenty pupils, or $4,000 per
month for three school years,
whether one or more pupils do
actually attend that school from
territory outside the boundaries
of the Jacksonville graded school
district.
The vote was as follows: For
the resolution, G. L. Brown,
David Buchanan and Paul M.
Moore. Against it, o. 2. Goad,
7. N. Slaton, G. B. Harralson,
Ben Sisk and w. w. league.
After defeat of the resolution
a motion carried accepting the
terms demanded by Madison
vile and aathorizing the County
attorney to draw zap the con-
tract. Seine of the members did
mot vote en- this question.
Considerable disappointment
and dissatisfaction was expressed
by the gentlemen who had gone
before the Board from Hanson,
DawsoR Springs aud EarliHgton,
that their statements and petI-
items Gu behalf of the school
children and school patrons of
their several communities had
been @isregarded.
Ia arguing fer his resolution
Paul M. Moore said that its sue
cess or failure was of much less
concern to Harrington than to
either of the other towns repre-
senbed ; that darlington had been
medetaining free public schools
fOr Gine months in the year for
thirty yearsDast and had ceaduct-
ed a high school for five years I;
that the schoOLchiidren and school
patrOns of darlington could and
would be cared for, as in the
past, and would be psetected
against expense of tuition, rail-
read travel, board or absence
from home. But he urged that
the childreR Of the other parts
of the county -oOGld not have
these privileges, and that an ex-|
elusive contract wlth Madison
Vile would deprive them Of the
Oppertunity of getting a free
high echool edRcation.
Sotae of the board menberS
who voted against the resolution
said after the meeting that they
we're in sympathy with it's spirit
but feared to vote for its
adoption because of certain IN
that had been pat
IN the law.

REFUSE TO RESPOND
TO LINCOLN PENNIES
Slot Machines Treat Them
as Slugs.
Makers of the Automatic Vendors
win Ask the Government TO Make
q Change

The new Lincoln pennies which the
pointment in one respect. They won't
fit the ordinary slot machine. The
chap who tries to weigh himself on
the street scale or the little tot who
attempts to buy piece of candy or
chewing gum through box mechanism
will have TO have something in his
pocket besides Lincoln pennies.
It is claimed that the manufactures
Of the slot machines are attempting
to have the govsrnmnt chang the
model of the penny so that it may he
used in the machines. It is quite like
ly however that the request will not
be granted.
The Lincoln penny IS a trifle too
thick TO successfully operate the ave-
age slot machine. Il is about the size
of the slug which the mischievious
lad usually tries to use in beating
the machine. Some OF the courser ma
chimes will operate with the Lincoln
pennies but the more modern types
refuse to respond to the drop of the
new form OF copper.
The slot machine owners of this
city have experienced not a little
trouble from the new pennies. The
machines become blocked and in many
instances have been broken by lads
trying to force the coppers into the
slots. The owners have adopted a plan
of placing sign over the machines

here and then keeping a quantity OF
old pennies in stock sufficiently to
supply the demands for change.
