ton for the generosity and hospitality

in their midst and we further extend
to them our thanks and appreciation for
the interest they have manifested in the
attendance thereof, and for the valuable

high responsibilities resting upon our
worthy superintendent, and the many
tcOmplex and intricate questions arising

to have the services of such a ripe schol-
ar, unbiased instructor, broad and liber-
al minded educator and patriotic citizen
as Prof J. W. Dinsmore. of Berea Col

! fact that our own dear Kentucky Occu-
pies AL unenviable position in the sister
! hood of American states, Internationally,
and realizing that every teacher and ev-
cry citizen in the state has high duty

education, VS. believe it to be the best
interest of all and to be the surest and
quickest method to advance our educa-
tional interests among the people at
large to have enacted and enforced such
compulsory school educational law As
will reach both pupil and parent and
will force a uniform attendance in our
public schools of all children between

three months regular attendance, annu-
ally.

ficient to compensate the teacher fOr
such extension.
