Forty per cent OF the white male
population OF Kentucky engaged in the
War of 1912. consequently forty per
cent of the succeeding generation we're
really sons and daughters OF that war.
and. estimating that onehalf OF them
intermarried with families which did
not participate in the war. sixty per
cent of the third generation were
grandchildren OF the war. and In sim.
liar manner at least seventy.fve per
cent and probably as high as ninety
per cent OF the fourth and incoming
Kentuckians who fought In that war.
IL is estimated that in the state OF
Kentucky alone one million men. wom-
en- and children are eligible to partici-
pate In the proposed reunion. and IL
Is estimated that another million now
living outside of Kentucky are eligible
to participate.
During the week OF the celebration
in Louisville spectacular free events.
including features on mammoth
scale not heretofore given with any
American celebration. will be provided
every afternoon and evening. Pilgrim
ages to notable historic scenes of In.

In addition to free attractions there
will be scores OF the highest priced

The railroads in a radius OF 500
miles OF Louisville have been asked
to make a rate for the celebration
week and Immediately preceding and
following that week OF one cent a mile.
Railroads running out OF Louisville
probably will give low rates TO other
points In Kentucky. so that former
Kentuckians who live a great distance
can visit their old homes as well as
attend the Louisville celebration.

Anent Our School Trustees.

In this issue of the Era-Leader
appears a letter of explanation,
or rather of justification, by the
Superintendent Of Public Educa-
ton Of this parish, for the mac
ton Of the Parish School Board
In regard to section 10 Of Act
ga Of 1912, which provides for
three auxiliary trustees for all
local schools, who are to be elect
ed by the patrons of the schools.
The question of local self
government was threshed out
in the last gubernatorial
campaign, and it was decided by
the people that home rule and
home government should be left
in the hands of each community
as far as possible.
The new school law is one of
the results of that campaign.
Whether the law is good or bad,
vitae or ,unwise. is not 3 question
to be dealt with just here. The
question Of most Importance, 1t
seems to Us, is whether or not
the Superintendent and Parish
School Board have a right to
override or ignore the mandates
Of The Legislative act under which
they hold their commissions.
Because the law is ignored and
not enforced in other parts Of
the state is no justification for
US. II the law is good, enforce
it. II it's bad. convince the
legislature of this fact and get It
repealed, but don't override or
ignore it.
Section Is of Act PA above re-
ferred to says tina: the patrons
of each school shall elect their
own auxiliary trustees and Just
so long as this is the law, the
patrons Of each school should
have q voice in this selection.
No officer or set of officers has
the right.to change or substitute
any Legislative act.
