The foregoing is a meager ac-

in Eastern Kentucky. Nothing IS
said of the cause OF the quarrel

cipants belong to two Of the most
prominent families in the county.

THE PUBLIC DRINKING CUP AND
THE SCHOOL.

Regardless OF the construction
placed on the anti-pubiic drinking
cup law by the Attorney General OF
Kentucky, Superintendent of Public
Instruction Barksdale Hamlett Mon
day announced that he would have
the law enforced In all schools.
The public fails to see any good
reason for withholding the sanitary
benefit of the drinking cup law
from the public schools. 1t should
be strictly enforced there. above all
other places Most people have seen
how drinking water is done in the
public schools, and they know the
way the common drinking vessel is
passed from mouth to mouth, re-
gardless of dirt and disease is far
from being sanitary or wholesome
procedure. The NEWS would go
further in this matter and say that
the water receptacle should be a
closed vessel with spigot or fau-
Get. II pupils are permitted to dip
their individual cups into the water
then the intention of the law is al
most wholly lost.
The matter is to be taken to the
court OF appeals. and pending its
action the teacher of every public
school in the commonwealth should
strictly enforce the law as it now
stands, and the teacher who fails
in this regard is derelict in his
duty to his pupils and violator of
the law.

State REFORM School.
Bad Condition to be Relieved BY
Prison Board.

The following is from the Louis
vile POST
The Prison Commissioners are
making an earnest effort to bring
the State Reformatory near Lexing-
ton to the highest possible point of
efficiency. The conditions there are
not entirely satisfactory. but when
the changes now contemplated by
the board are effected the institu-
ton will rank with the best in this
country.
Daniel E. o'Sullivan, chairman of
the Board of Prison Commissioners
said to an Evening Post reporter:
"On recent visit to the reforma-
tory the board found in one dorini-
tory seventy-two boys sleeping in
thirty-six single beds, not wider tha
a coffin lid. In another room seven
ty-six boys were sleeping in thirty
eight single beds. The girls were
also badly crowded. The negro
quarters were in even worse condi-
tion as to sleeping accommodations
1t was an unsanitary condition that
the board Immediately proceeded to
remedy.
Dependent Children There.
I'VE also found that great many
dependent children, during the past
year, have been sent to the reforma-
tory from the various counties.
They have committed no offense.
They are not criminals, nor are
they incorrigible, but the authori-
ties, in desire to get rid of the
responsibility, ship them to the re-
formatory to associate with boys
and girls who are lawbreakers. 1t
is shameful practice that calls for
the severest condemnation. 1t re-
fleets on the judges, the charitable
societies and the good people of any
county that will thus shift their
moral and social burdens on the
State and send innocent little chill
dren to associate with boys, many
of whom have been convicted of the
gravest crimes. AS a result, there
are now over 500 children in the re-
formatory, many of them little tots
of seven years of age.
Mr.. Sehon Assists.
Il held a conference yesterday
with Mr.. George L. Sehon, superin-
tendent of the Kentucky Children's
Home Society, and found him

He has agreed to take into his

dent children we have in the re-
formatory, and he will. from time

scribed. This prompt offer Of assist
