Civic Improvement League

A short time ago, this writer
suggested the formation of /;
civic improvement league. Sucf
an organization still seems desir
able. 1t is an easy matter to fine
fault with town authorities fol
what is not done. The fact i:
that town authorities are usually
ready to do whatever the people
want done bad enough to ask for
IL civic improvement. the fact
must not be forgotten that all OF
it can not be done at once. A
system of improvement must be
decided upon and followed year
after year. Just what is most
needed and first to be done must
ce decided. Now, town authori-
ties are backward about taking
the initiative in a matter which
concerns SO many and unless
there be some authoritative eX-
preston of public sentiment there
is usually nothing done. Here is
where the civic improvement
league can serve the town. Such
body should include practically
all the property owners of the
town. Such an organization after
full discussion of conditions can
devise system of improvement
ds fixed policy OF the town.
That will constitute a chart for
the guidance of town authorities
year after year. And town officers
will appreciate such a system and
follow it with the knowledge that
they have public sentiment be-
hind them From time to time
this league will devise ways and
means for accomplishing the
needed Improvements. That also
will be appreciated by the town
officers. 1t is hardly fair TO those
in authority to complain without
indicating what is wanted and
how to get it. No set of town
officers cares to take the respon-
sibility of establishing an elabo-
rate system of improvement which
must OF necessity involve work
long beyond their terms of Office.
1t is hardly fair to ask it of them.
But when the people get together
and determine what they want,
FIX a system of improvements and
indicate what part they want car
ried out this year and from time
to time the progressive steps to
be taken. there will be no hesi-
fancy on the part of the officers
in carrying out the plan.
This town is not SO large that

ings" can not be useful. Let a
permanent organization be formed
which shall be the authoritative
exponent of public op MON and
then if the people of the town
really want Improvements of a
permanent character, they will
get them.
Town officers have right to
ask what do you want" and then
"how are we to get it" They
very properly desire that what
they do shall have an intelligent
public sentiment behind it. Once
a civic improvement organization
has determined what shall be
done, there can be no more carp
ing complaints about it. The
writer has been moved to say this
because he has been understood
as criticizing the town officers for
what they have done and omitted
That has not been the intention.
The intention has been to call at
tention to some things badly
needed, with a view to the for
nation of public sentiment which
sh all make possible some inn
provement. The town officers
can not be held responsible for
all that this town lacks of being a
presentable village. Our streets
are bad enough but private pro
perty is no better. We must cul-
tivate a civic pride. Citizens
must do their part-and keep on
doing it. And it is their duty to
say what they want their town Of
fcers to do. Not the opinion of
one man or set of men. but what
intelligent property holders in
general want-what they can
agree should be done. This can
not be done without some such
organization as is suggested.
When citizens have counseled to-
gether. discussed the possibilities.
with plans for carrying out their
there will be no more
trouble in getting what they want.
1t is hoped that some citizen will
start the movement for such an
and that everybody
in the town will CO op-
crate. Let US give our town Off
GERS a chance to do what they de-
sire to do-make just such inn
Drovements as the people want
and will pay for.

MODEL SCHOOL AT STATE FAIR
Practical Exhibit Promised as Result
of Efforts of Kentucky Women.

The people of Kentucky have grown
to look upon their annual state fair as
one of the greatest educational instl-
tutions in the commonwealth. Many
evidences of practical development
and enlargement along live stock and
agricultural lines are traceable direct
ly to these annual exhibitions. A de-
parture specifically along educational
channels will be made at the approach
ing eighth annual state fair, which will
be held in Louisville Sept. 12-17.
A model rural school building will
be erected and maintained and the en-
terprise is to be fostered and carried
out entirely by the women of Ken
lucky. This important work is in the
hands of the Ladies Auxiliary Advis-
DRY Board. This board was recently
appointed, and consists of the follow
ing members: Mrs. James A. Leech,
Louisville; Mrs. James A. Mitchell,
Bowling Green; Mrs. Charles P. Weav-
er, Louisville; Mrs. John B. Castleman,
Louisville; Mrs John A. Stratton, LOU
isville; Mrs. John H. Miller, Valley
Station, and Miss Laura Clay, Rich
mOnd
With the aid of Secretary ]. w.
Newman of the state fair, and Prof.
ellsworth Regenstein, superintendent
of public instruction, the work has
been pushed rapidly, and the model
schoolhouse will be erected prior to
the fair and will be found complete in
every detail when visitors begin to as
semble on the first morning. AS the
state fair draws visitors from every
section of Kentucky, this movement is
considered one of the most important
ever undertaken by similar institu-
ton in this or any other state.
The members of the State Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs and all women's
organizations of the state have under
taken campaign for funds, and early
reports indicate that they are meeting
with success. Both inside and out, the
proposed school building will be a
model in every particular.

GREAT EVENT NEAR
Kentucky State Fair Prepare
J tiOns Go MerTIly On.
THOUSANDS IN PREMIUMS
Ample Accommodations Offered Both
Exhibitors and Visitors During
Week of Sept. 18th to 18th.
Liberal Excursion Rates Will Prevail
Throughout Territory Surround
ing Louisville.

With an investment of approximate
ly 100000 in buildings and grounds,
and a record of seven successful an
nual exhibitions before it, the Ken
lucky State Fair of 1910 will begin in
Louisville on September II, and con-
tinue throughout the week. The
bright promise is given that the turn
stiles will click this year on one of the
greatest State Fairs in America. Hard
and unceasing work on the part of the
Board of Managers, the Fair officials,
and employees, for, many weeks past,
is rapidly bringing to completion the
plans and arrangements for the exhibit
ton.
While no new buildings have been
erected since last years Fair, there
will be ample accommodations for ex-
hibitors and visitors. Nature has
worked wonders in the beautiful 49,
acre plot occupied as a fair site, and
the Kentucky show is rapidly gaining
distinction as the most beautiful State
Fair in America. Under the landscape
gardeners care, the grounds have been
adorned with shrubs, new walks and
avenues have been laid out and the
trees planted when the site was first
selected now have grown to shade-pro-
ducing proportions. The system of IL
Elimination has been extended so that
every nook and corner of the grounds
will be brilliantly lighted each night
OF the show week. Those who have
watched the progress of work on this
years exhibition venture the opinion
that the attendance, which last year
reached high water mark, will this
year be increased by thousands.
Cash prizes aggregating about $780,
900 have been hung up in premiums
for the 1910 fair. In many instances
the prizes have been increased over
former years, aud many additional
classificatiOns have been made More
attractive than ever will be the "spec-
ial prizes" which this year will aggre-
gafe between $4,000 and 10000
Aside from the thousands of dollars
received in cash by exhibitors, there
comes, however, yet greater prize
the distinction of an award from the
Kentucky State Fair. The sentimental
and exploiting value of such an award
has now grown until it is one of the
most coveted prizes sought for by pro-
fessional exhibitors in the country's
largest agricultural exhibitions. 1t is
not possible to put correct valuation
on the prestige and distinction that &C
company prize from the state fair of
commonwealth recognized as the
head of the horse world, as one of the
foremost live stock states and as an
agricultural community with few SUI
periors in the union.
AS heretofore, liberal excursion
rates from a wide territory surround
ing Louisville will prevail on railroad
and steamboat lines throughout the
fair period. Every local arrangement
has been made for the quick and safe
handling of the crowds, and ample ac-
commodations at reasonable rates are
assured to all visitors to Louisville
during State Fair week
