MEDICAL BOOKS!

Probably at some time or other, a
smooth book agent has tried to sell
you "a doctor book" Generally u Is
a big. heavy volume, with the names
OF physicians in distant cities on the
title page, and a big. heavy price set
on it. The agent will tell you that by
little study of its pages, you can al
ways tell just what ails you, just what
medicines to get at the drug store, and
just what doses to take. So you will
save all doctors bills. If you buy the
book, you put yourself among that
class Of fools from hon the sharpers

Editor Clay City Times,
Clay City, Ky.

Stanton College. am informed
that several erroneous and false
statements and being circulated
through the county, for political
and other reasons.
In the beginning, let me say
that Stanton College is taking
no part whatever, never has and
never will, in the political af.
fairs of Stanton or Powell COun.
ty. We are not ncerned in
those matters, and any one who
uses Stanton College, whether
for or against the College, to
further his political ambitions is
doing it at the expense of de.
ceiving the citizens Of the coun.
ty.
Stanton College was started
some five years ago, by the Home
Mission Board of the United
Presbyterian Church, for the
benefit of the Young people of
Powell and surrounding coun-
ties. 1t is maintained today by
the same Board for the same pur.
pose.
Stanton College is not a mon
ey making institution in any
sense of the word. 1t has never
paid expenses. 1t never will
pay expenses. Those who estab-
llshed the school do not expect
1t Will ever paw expenses. They
do not even hope that it might
ever pay expenses.
Let me say, and Say very EN-
phatically, that Stanton College
is not supported by the tax pay
ers of Powell County. When
the College was located at Stan.
ton, the Trustees of the Stanton
Graded School District made ar.
engagements to have the use of
the College property for their
school purposes. Under this ar.
rangement, the local board elect
their own teachers, pay the sal
AIRY of their own teachers, have
entire control of their own teach
ers, and not one cent of the pub
lie money has ever gone into the
treasury of the College. Fur
Their, under this arrangement,
the public school pupils of the
Stanton District have had the
privilege of attending school to
the teachers employed by the
College Board. This has given
the Stanton District the advan.
tage of the services of six to eight
teachers, while paying for the
services of but one or two. This
has made it possible for the
Stanton Graded School Board to
maintain their school teaching
force by the payment of the "a
mount of money provided by the
State Fund, while getting the
benefit of a corps of teachers
which cost five to six times as
much money. The rental paid
by the Stanton Graded School
Board is the keeping up of the
ordinary repairs on the property,
which in the past three years
has amounted to less than $3.50
less than $50 per year rental for
the use of 500, 900 property.
And about 800 of this was for
the sinking of a well.
Now, about the High School
Department: The Stanton School
District is High School Dis.
trict, and the County Superin.

High School Board a tuition for

The Clay City times. [volume] (Clay City, Ky.) 1901-current, 1913-08-07


Stanton School Board pays this
high school tuition toward the
support of their teachers, which
enables the Stanton School to
run nine months during the
year.
All local running expenses,
such as janitor, fuel, ETC., the
College pays. Where does the
money come from for these eX-
penses? Let me show you. |
have an agreement with our COL
lege Board to put into this work
each year "a sum of money equal
to the combined salary of all the
teachers, both our own and the
public school teachers. When l
know the names of the teachers
and the amount of their salary,
| notify our College Board that |
will require that amount of mon
ey to carry on the work. The
Board sends this in monthly in
stallments. In addition, We col
lect tuition fee from normal
scholars and other scholars not
belonging to. the Stanton School
District. Occasionally we give
an entertainment, as the Gold
Medal Contest at Commencement
time to pay the Commencement
expenses. advance to all teach
ers each month a sum equal TO
their salary. This becomes a
loan to the public school teach
ers who pay 1t back when they
draw their salaries from the
State Fund. This makes it a
great deal more convenient for
the teachers than to wait as long
as they sometimes are compelled
to do. This year the last State
to the public school
teachers using our College build
ing was not paid until June. 1t
was due IN February.
In the above, | have indicated
very completely the only con-
nection our Stanton College has
with public money, which is alb.
none. The Stanton
School Board has so far chosen
teachers who were acceptable to
the College. Some times l have
suggested the names of teachers
to the Board. AT other times
they have acted entirely without
suggestion from me. This has
made our relations agreeable and
pleasant. Had the teachers not
been acceptable to the College
au, horities, we had the privilege
Of withdrawing from the ar
rangement, as had also the local
board if the teachers we placed
N the work did not suit them.
All our teachers hold first class
)r State certificates or are Col
ege Graduates.

hat Stanton College has done
or young people of this region.

hree years ago, l saw the need

We had no money to use for such

from friends throughout the
country. Any deficiency came
out of my own pocket. This
year, we offer to keep the stu.
dents for $3.50 per week. You
may count up yourself what
mint of money will be made by
keeping boys and girls for 81 so
per week for room and board.
Of course We are helped in this
also by the garden.
Last year we needed a physi-
cal laboratory in order to meet
the requirements of the High
Schools of the "A Glass. We let
the matter be known. We got
the money. Where? From Buff
alo, N. Y. | furnish dozens of
scholars with scholarships to pay
tuition.
Who gets most benefit from
this school arrangement? Per.
haps some one asks why the Col
lege is willing to continue this
arrangement? Simply and sole.
ly because the College is meet
ing the purpose for which it was
established, namely, giving to
the young people of this section
of the State one of the best
schools to be found anywhere in
the State. We could reduce ex-
Denses more than enough to Off
set the amounts of public funds
paid to teachers, if this arrange
ment were discontinued. But
We do not want to reduce eX-
penses. We want to give the
very best school advantages pos
sible. And we want the young
people to take advantage of these
opportunities. In this Stanton
College will find its reward. In
the little good the College may
be to this section, those who sup
port the College will get their
return. Stanton College will
never pay a cent in financial div
idends. But Stanton College
has already paid and will con
time to pay heavy dividends in
improved conditions of life un.
der which young people of Pow
ell County and the surrounding
country may grow up. Those
who are putting money into this
enterprise do not consider that
it is wasted. If they did think
so, they would have a much
poorer opinion of the people of
this section than they have.
They cast their bread upon the
waters, hoping that after many
days it will return to them-not
in dollars and cents, but in i'm.
proved opportunities for these
young people, and in better citf-
zenship. Maybe the supporters
may not realize the full return
soon, but they are not worrying
over that. Their investments
will come back to them surely as
the waves of eternity wash a
gainst the throne of God
So, dear people of Powell
County, we do not ask of you
any financial support, public or
private. Whatever you may
feel disposed to give, will be
joyfully received and used for
the increase of the work. We
ask Of you to accept what we
have to give, which is not dollars
and cents, but simply the OppOr.
Iunity we lay before you. Young
people, accept that and you help
stanton college to fulfill her
mission.
