EDUCATION IN KENTUCKY
G.. LEO SALMON)
Central University the Ideal Kentucky
College


we may call ourselves "KentuckianS.
Leader after leader, we follow them
down until finally the chain is broken.
For many years Kentucky has pro-
duced very very few famous men.
Within our memory few bright
links have been forged but they are
separated from the chain by intervals
of years. AT present there seems to
be a mighty intellectual awakening
which promised to bring us back to
our former standing in the federation.
Shall we ever send forth another
Lincoln? Only the process of time
can tell
Kentucky is naturally leader Her
first known inhabitants, the mound
Builders, were farther advanced in
civilization than any of the other In
dian tribes. This people had long
been extinct even at the time of the
discovery of America. When the
hardy Scotch-Irish pioneers crossed
the mountains from Virginia, they
found our state uninhabited. The
various Indian tribes had so much
reverence for the land that they used
it only as a fighting and hunting
ground. 1t is for this reason that
Kentucky, the Dark and Bloody
Ground, received her name. Com
PEELED to fight alike with wild man
and wild beast, only the strongest of
our ancestors lived. AS IN the my
biological tight of the race of giants,
who sprang up to assist Cadmus in
the founding of Thebes, it was case
of the survival of the fittest; only the
very essence of strength was left.
With such an ancestry Kentucky
is capable of producing national lead
ers. Mental and physical strength
most often go hand in hand Flow
ers will not thrive in poor soil; minds |
will not broaden in poor bodies.
Our thoroughbred horses are not
decreasing in value; our women are
not decreasing in beauty; our men
should not be decreasing in mental
capacity.
Leaders do not arise fully equipped
for their work They must be sys-
tematically prepared This is the
business of our colleges One may
be born with qualities of leader,
but, if these are not trained, they
will lie dormant, and finally die with
the man. Thomas Gray has aptly
expressed this thought:
Perhaps in this neglected spot is laid
Some heart once pregnant with ce-
lestial fire;
Hands, that the rod of empire might
have swayed, II
Or walked to ecstasy the living Tyre
But knowledge to their eyes her
ample page
Rich with the spoIls of time did ne'er
unroll;
Chill penury rrpressed their noble
ra e,
And froze the genial current of the
soul.
And again:
Some village Hampden, that with
dauntless breast
The little tryant of his fields with
stood;
Some mute inglorious Milton here |
may rest,
Some Cromwell guiltless of his |
country'S blood.

ranked very low in the matter of ed
