Regents Score Goodpaster

The Board of Regents of the
Eastern Kentucky Normal SCHOOL
in a letter addressed 70 Gov.
James McCreary in ME report
made by State Inspector Good
paster relative II the Normal.
School, in a clezfly written letter
show that tie Goodpaster re-
port made and published con-
corning tbs institution is without
foundation and is only the deduc-
tons made by that gentleman
himself. 1t will be remembered
that some days ago the papers
were filled with his sensational
report in which he severely
criticised the official board of this
school, charging in substance,
reckless disregard for the money
of the people andof the law regu-
lating the expenditures of the
same and intimating, in one
instance, that the American Book
Company was the recipient of
special favorS from this school
because of the. connection of
Regent Grinstead with the
American Book Company. The
report which is dignifed and
scholarly prepared, takes up the
charges in detail, answers them
all to the satisfaction of any man
who has sufficient intelligence to
read and understand the English
language. Weregret that we can
not publish it in full but both a
lack of time and of space forbid
our so doing.
Goodpaster charges that in
buying the farm called the
Whitaker farm and in making
additions to Sullivan Hall and
buying the Burnam Home, the
Board had acted without warrant
of law. The Board, in its answer,
shows plainly that the appropria-
ton made by the last Legislature
was made with this in view. The
former State Inspector had especi-
ally recommended that all these
things be done and had asked
that the appropriations be made
for this purpose. The Legislature
had before it all the facts and il
expressly provided that such d
farm be bought and that the
extensions of the hall be made
The Title of the act reads as
follows to wit: For the benefit OF
the Three Educational Institu
tions, namely: State University
Eastern State Normal School and
the Western State Normal
School; dppropriating money fol
the expansion of the work sc.

Home Was proper. 1t was orig
inally part of the Campus
and it should have been restored
to it. The value of the property
was a matter of sound judgment
and we can not believe that there
was an error committed in its
purchase. Suppose that it had
been bought by strangers to the
school and had been laid off in
lots and improved and some
stables built on the rear of the
lots directly in front of the beauti-
full Model building? Then if this
had happened the board would
have been subject to just censure
for not buying it.
The matter of appropriatine
500 for the construction of a
much needed sidewalk connect
the campus with the city, is too
trivial to waste time and space
on.
MIR. Goodpaster was concerned
about the 5000 paid annually for
four fire hydrants. That these
were necessary and proper no
sensible man can question. The
very valuable buildings should
have adequate protection from
fire. Certainly the lives of the
students should be safeguarded.
The city water main did not
reach the campus or at least did
not reach the buildings thereon,
and this was an imperatively
necessary expenditure.
Mr.. Goodpaster complains that
$446 was spent to prevent the
spread of small pox. When we
consider that there was a student
body of several hundred who had
been exposed, it was the part of
wisdom to protect the school as
we'll as the citizens of the city
from this dreaded disease.
Mr.. Goodpaster also complains
that the book store was not
authorized. 1t is a necessity for
the convenience of the pupils as
the stores of the city could not
carry the books required by this
school. A stock of over $4,000 is
carried of which only $500 was
bought of the American Book
Company.
Their answer shows that the
school is not indebted in the sum
of $4,000 as reported by Mr..
Goodpaster, but at the end of the
fiscal year 1913-1914 the indebted
ness will be only about $4,000
which was created in the Original
purchase of the property.
The report concludes with this
language:
THE policy of the Board ha:
been and will continue to be t.

the institution one of the largest,
best and most efficient schools o.

In our effort to accomplish thi:
purpose, we call upon you and al

EQUITIES, namely, that 1t was what the
people wanted do not believe the
people wanted any such thing as the
papers gave about the Sayre-Wilson
wedding. have heard nothing but
expressions of WEAKNESS and disgust
over the continuous exploitation Of
the two young people and their story.
It 10 but just TO say that most people
do not blame the Wilson's for the
publicity given the wedding. No one
believes that the president or his
wife, or Mr.. Sayre or his bride, was
for one-hundredth part Of
the slush that has been spilled upon
the public by the column anent the
wedding. l don't believe one person
in ten of the readers Of newspapers
has read one-tenth Of one per cent
of the matter published about the
event or the personalities identified
with It. The heart-interest in the
wedding was satisfied with very lit
tie: The rest was mere padding. The
sympathy OF all decent people goes
out to the Wilson's and to the bride
and groom in the ordeal to which they
have been subjected by a press with
out any sense OF the proportionate
value of news and without the faint
est suspicion OF taste.-Reedy's Mir

Mr.. Cole, even though she be guilty.
even though she committed that
