THE INSURANCE COMPANIES DEMANDS.

In accordance with its custom of opening its col
umns to all sides of public questions the Courier
journal gives the insurance companies another
hearing this morning.
1t may be noticed however, that Mr.. Allison s
fervid paper like others that side of the issue
ignores several points, of Legitimate interest There
is nothing for instance, about the excessive eX-
penses of the insurance companies methods of do
ing business, which is as material factor as the
fire loss in fixing rates. Nor is there anything to
dsabuse the public of the conclusion that the com
panies, having left the State before any attempt
had been made to hurt them by means of the Glenn
law, are now trying to brighten the State into a
repeal not only of that law. but of the Horn law,
thus freeing themselves of any State regulation
whatever.
In private of the representatives of the
companies say that they willing to operate
under reasonable State regulations but if that is
true they should formulate an act embodying some
thing of what they regard reasonable regulation.
The COurer-Journal is anxious to help them repeal
the Glenn law, but it is unable to understand why
both that law and the Zorn law should be repealed.
with nothing to take their place leaving the com
panies absolute masters of the situation.-COurer-

ASHLAND PUBLIC SCHOOLS
AND PROF BRADNER

The commencement season of the Ashland Public
Schools has come and gone, and it has left IN the
minds of most of the patrons of schools that the
year Just past has been OF the most SUCCESSFUL
in the history of the schools. Much OF his sue
cess is due to the faithful and untirng efforts OF
our superintendent, Mr. James w. Bradner. Mr.
Bradner assumed the leadership of our Public
Schools one year ago and with handicap that was
almost enough to daunt the courage of the most
fearless This was in the shape of the financial end
of our school system There was not enough money
in sight to meet the current expenses OF the schools
and it was necessary to put the question to vote
i'll order to raise the taxation, to provide money to
meet the decit The proposition met with many
obstacles and it was necessary for Supt Bradner to
lead the fight in favor of the increased taxation.
The result was a decided victory for Mr.. Bradner
and the public schools
Since then Mr. Bradner has worked into our
school system numerous ideas of his own which
have had a decided tendency to better the con
dtion of the schools. He has engendered into pupils
the spirit of enthusiasm and love for their work.
which they did not heretofore possess. This was
shown in the annual literary contest between the
two High School societies and in other ways. lie
has also established a splendid system of athletics
and both boys and girls have taken deeper inter
est in physical education than they have for many
years.
In all this work. the development of heart and
soul power has not been lost sight Of. Mr. Brad
ners idea is that study is to give one power, dis
cernment insight to know the truth the reality, the
divine quality of the thing we see
or hear not to load one down but
to lift up In this work he has had the co-opera-
ton of parents, faculty and Board of Education
and this has aided largely in the success achieved
Plans are now being formed for next year. Let
us all uphold the hands of our progressive super
intendent and thus aid him in bringing our school
to still higher plane of usefulness - Ashland
