At a recent meeting OF the Ken

Mr.. Sommers spoke in part as fol

buried instead of using for our more
unfortunate fellow man. We have
marvellous opportunities. but We have
not realized or accepted the respon-
sibilitiss which go with the oppor-
tunity.
Kentucky, the FIRST state In the
South to establish free schools, has
been asleep for nearly fifty years on
public school education and now
wakes to find herself tagging In the
rear of most of her sister states In
this important matter. We were
asleep when we allowed cur rural
schools to retrograde. We were
asleep when we did not keep the
school apace with the development
and growth OF the nation. We we're
asleep when we left the whole matter
in the hands of the school teacher
and neglected our responsibility to as
sist him and stand by him. We were
asleep when we sent men to the leg
islature unfit to grapple with this
question and most generally indiffer-
ent to 1t.
Thank God we are awake now and
before 1t is too late. Awake and on
guard, and, IL we as sentinels for edu-
cation on the watch towers Of progress
go to sleep until the school house is
made a thing of credit instead of a
thing of reproach, until the stain of H.
literacy is wiped out, we deserve the
fate of any sentinel who goes to sleep
at his post. A man who does wrong
and does not know he has violated
the law is not exempt from the pen
atty, but the man who knowingly VIC
lates the law 10 more culpable. While
we were ignorant and Indifferent to
the lack of advancement In our schools
we were nevertheless responsible. but
now that we are fully aware Of our
unfortunate condition we are doubly
responsible II we do not respond to IT,
The precious Jewels Of the common
wealth are it's children. The future
of the state depends upon them and
they depend on US. Are we going
to polish them with an education to
fit them for lifes duties and obliga-
tions and citizenship. or are we going
to allow them to grow up in ignorance
to become paupers and criminalsY II
is a burning question which appeals
to manhood, which appeals to intelli-
gence, which appeals to our hearts.
Have We heard the cry which comes
from the mountains and from the
isolated sections all over Kentucky?
/, for one, have heard II. It has been
ringing in my ears for ten years or
more and neither my pen nor voice
shall become silent in answering 4,
until every educated man and woman
IN the state realizes our needs and
recognizes the responsibilities. AS
the aged Hamalcar in his camp fires
swore the infant Hannibal to eternal
hatred for Rome, so / would swear
you now by the intelligence which
beams In your eyes. by the enthusi-
asm which runs in your veins and by
the love which is in your hearts, to
swear an eternal hatred for ignorance
and illiteracy until We have wiped IL
from our borders.
What We need In Kentucky is pub
lie sentiment for the public schools.
