facts about the greatest authors and
their masterpieces. But that wasn't
teaching them literature. We will new

the good and the beautiful.
1.-The twentieth century education
must teach women the arts Of home
making. No individual can be free
until economically free and no woman
can be free who has to depend upon
her husband for q living. We have
long said that no people are good en-
ough to rule other people. We have
got to learn that no man Is good
enough to rule a woman. The woman
ought to have the right to vote be
cause the vote will help to make hel
economically free. The old scholastic
philosophers used to debate the Ques
ton, Has a Woman Soul?' Our mod
ern debates on the question, rs Won
an the Intellectual Equal Of Man are
just as absurd.

1T was proved by test made at

"Of the four vocabularies we use
our writing vocabulary is the smallest
and our reading vocabulary is the larg

up of words taken from reading les
sons. Children, therefore, must learn
a great many more words than they
will ever use in writing, and spelling
is of use to us only when we write.

"As I understand the majority
opinion. this is the only ground up
on which it holds the Kentucky act
of 1914 invalid. 1t tacitly over
rules the many other constitutional
objections urged against the act.
"The opinion of the majority
makes IL impossible for the Legisla-
ture to pass any effective workmen's
compensation act under our present
constitution.
1.-THE act makes IL voluntary
whether any employer shall accept
the provisions of the act on one
hand. or whether the employe shall
wsrk for or remain in the service of
his employer after the latter has
made his election to work under the
act, taking from the employer. how
ever. his common-law defenses above
specified, in case he declines to work
under this act, and saving to the
employer these defenses against his
employe who refuses to accept the
provisions of the act"
Kentucky is to be the first State

doing so this court fails, it seems to
me. to make the essential legal dis

elective acts. by giving more effect
to imaginative cases than to real

tutional rights in case they refuse to

The bill provided for all indus
tries employing six persons or over.
excepting agricultural and domestic
pursuits. The State did not assume
the place of an insurer, but the State
Compensation Board composed OF the
Attorney General. Secretary of Agri-
culture and the Insurance Commits
sioner, acted as trustees to collect
from employers a certain percentage
of their pay rolls. according to the
schedule of the law. The board al
so acted as trustee in the distribu-
ton of the fund. The State furnish
ed no money or appropriation for a
risk fund and the money drawn from
the State fund was solely from the
premiums paid in. For this reason
il was believed that the State fund
would be inadequate.
Under the law an employer could
do one of four things. He could re-
fuse to reimburse his employees un-
der the compensation law, preferring
to risk trial in courts for each acct
dent. In doing this he was depriv-
ed of the three common law defenses
OF contributory negligence. assump-
ton OF risk and the fellow servant
plea. II he decided to come in un-
der the compensation act he could
do one of three things: He could
pay his premium into the State fund;
he could insure in liability compa-
ny or he could carry the burden of
it himself. provided he was able to
show to the compensation board that
he was solvent enough to do so.
The maximum rate under the law
was SIPS per 500, and every en-
ployer who had not notified the board
otherwise was held to be conducting
his business under the provisions of
the law. The maximum sum that
could be paid out in case of death
was $3.7O0. The compensation board
was to decide all payments in case
of injury. and there was to be no APP
peal from its opinion.
