MINERS DECLARE BOYCOTT
Local Union Joins Movement A
gainst Use of High-Priced Meat.

AT a mass meeting hpld in the
court house Thursday evening
Local Union No. III, United Mine
Workers of America, decided to
join in the boycott movement to
aid in the attempt to force down
the prices of meat. Speeches were
made at the meeting by the we'll
known union workers, Harry Blee
and w. G. Grow. The talks met
with approval and there was ap-
parently little dissensicn at the
meeting.
eve have the names of five
hundred working men" said Sec
retary Cox of the local union this
morning, "who have agreed to
eat no meat so long as the pres
ent high prices continue. Most of
these men are heads oe families
and on an average are supporting
two persons each besides them
selves. So we figure that there
are now in and around Lexington
fifteen hundred persons in the
movement.

DR.. Winship S Lecture.

DR.. Wmship spoke to a very APP
preciative audience at the High
School Saturday night on the
subject Public Schools and their
Critics" His address was a com
plete refutation of charges made
in some of the magazines against
the work of public education. He
showed that most of the criticism
was written by people who are
not familiar with the wIrk of the
schools, and it was sought by
magazines because they wanted
the sensational. As an illustra-
ton of the attitude OF the press
he cited the Cleveland, Ohio, in
cident, in which the local rapers
attacked the work in arithmetic.
The principal charge was that
mental arithmetic had been throw
out of the course of study. Mr..
Elson, the superintendent, ac-
cepted the criticism as just and
proceeded to introduce mental
arithmetic in all the schools. In
a few weeks the same papers
came out with full page headlines
severely attacking the work in
mental arithmetic.
He referred to recitatioDs in
our schools that he heard Satur-
day as being as far ahead of the
same grade of work 2j year ago,
as an automobile is ahead of a
wheelbarrow. Text books of IS, so
and 25 years ago were exhibited
to show the change in the char
