The Stanford High School is the one

The Stanford High School Is the on
school in the county maintaining a ful
four years course. according tothe las
school directory Of the State, just is
sued by the State superintendent. Al
interested should read Chapter 8 in full
for complete information.
Our purpose is herein set forth. Stat,
Supt Crabbe says in a letter to US that
our high school course is acceptable Ia
the State Board. Then let the county
board. who knows its duty and will do
IL. appear before our fiscal court and
ask them to make levy and also max
arrangements with the Graded School
board for the establishment and main
tenance Of said County High School.
Many Of the counties have already made
their levies Some have made the full
amount Of 20 per cent. Let every one
who has. at heart. an interest in the
betterment Of our boys and girls. see
to IL that the hopes Of this new law
spring on exultant wings Of action. Can
any one be so nepotic or so utterly dis
regardful as to deny this countless her
itage to our boys and girls OF a more
substantial character?
What is the unitarian view? Has il
a benefit My answer is. it has. There
are many but we wish TO speak of the
Heb CctooI aac,t.n an. a..o.ue -
which has been presented. To every
child in Lincoln county, who has passed
the grades or common school branches,
there will be given an opportunity to
attend first-clsss high school free Of
charge. II will centralize and unity
the school interests Of the county by
giving all, instead Of few, an interest
in the Public County High School. 1t
will disseminate the spirit Of advanced
education.
II will be TO the advantage Of all con-
cerned to combine the County High
School and the Stanford High School.
Why First. from an economic stand
point. The same management can gov
ern both and there will be a saving of
at least 500 or $500. In the next place.
Section 90 of the new law suggests that
the county board may make arrange
ments with the local board of education
for uniting the interests and thereby
and maintaining a High
School Of the first class for use of both
city and county. IL has been said that
economy is a splendid virtue when prin-
ciple and public good are not at stake.
Here both are enhanced. The estab-
lshment of the County High School,
after the manner herein suggested will
bring pupils and patrons of our county
into closer relationship. and free tuition
will be furnished all within the borders
OF our good county. The last word Is,
talk High School. Talk education.
Preach the gospel Of training for ser.
vice or usefulness. Let each and every
one learn that an educated son or
daughter is the best capital that our
county can have. Let this generation
leave the splendid legacy of a grand
system Of schools to the next and to all
generations to come. Agitste. circu-
late and create better things education

Men of thought be up and stirring
night and day;
Scw the seed. Withdraw the curtain,
clear the way.
In no better way can the educational
horizon be cleared than by enforcing
present laws. Educational day is dawn
ing in Kentucky.
aid the dawning, tongue and pen;
Aid it, hopes Of honest men;
Aid it. paper; aid it type;
Aid it. for the hour is ripe,
And our earnest must not slacken into
play.
NOTE.

his office on the morning of April 9th
for the purpose of formulating plans to
carry out the law. J. w. IRELAND.
