ty. The time to begin is now, so

THE WHOLE STORY.

The platform adopted by the Ken
lucky Edcational Association with
out dissenting vote declares for
Statewide movement to improve the
rural schools, the consolidation Of all
distric schools wherever practicable,
the lengthening of the common
school term, better trained and bet
ter paid teachers, more effective
truancy law, the teaching of agricul-
ture and home-making, a better sys-
tenn of roads in every part OF the
State, a new system of taxation. To
The Times way of thinking this
platform sums up the whole story
OF Kentucky's needs.
The bone and sinew of the State
are its rural population. If that
population is educated and equipped
to meet its responsibilities Kentucky
will have no cause to fear the fu-
ture. This education must be prac-
tical, because the uses to which 1t
must be put are the practical uses
of home life, citizenship and stable
government by an educated people.
There can be no efficient system
of schools without an accompanying
system of good roads. schools, when
built, must be accessible to be use
ful.Schools, when built, must be sup
ported. Good roads mean ready ac-
cess to the schools. They mean
rural population intelligent enough
to demand advantages for its chill
