central Board or authority. The act
of 1911, by which the State Board
was reconstructed, marks the definite
beginning of the policy of putting into
trained and experienced hands those
duties and offices which should be per-
formed by some one specially trained
and experienced in that kind of duty.
The act creating the Office of Com
missioner of Education is a still fur
ther application of the principle of
authority centered and power placed
in the hands of central body, to fix
rules and regulations in matters where
special knowledge and skilled judg-
ment are needed. This does not mean
that all power and authority shall be
taken from the local districts or from
the local School Committees. All
matters which can and may be decided
by the common sense of the average
citizen, can and should be left to the
local Commissioners: all matters re-
quiring special knowledge. skill, train
ing or experience should be put into
hands having this knowledge, skill,
training or experience.
Bring Laws Under One Central Control
The harmony which needs to be
worked out, therefore, is to bring the
laws passed before 1911 into relation,
agreement and congruence with the
new principle recognized and establi-
shed when the acts of 1911 and 1918
were made law, and put over the en-
tire system central authority with
power to regulate in matters requiring
expert knowledge and skill. The laws
passed before that date practically as
sumed that one mans opinion or
judgment is as good as another's
this is one of the serious weaknesses
of democracy. We send for a doctor
when we are i'll: we go to a lawyer
when in legal difficulty. Special
knowledge and skill are recognized
and respected in every department of
life, certainly in private life: why
shall public life, and especially why
shall our schools be denied the benefit
and help Of such special knowledge
and training. Everywhere the authority
and prevalence nf the judgement and
opinion of 'the average man. is being
superseded and subjected to the opinion
of the specialist, of the expert. 1t
is to incorporate this spirit and con-
ception in the entire school system
that reconstruction is demanded, anC
this is why revision is practically
impossible. Thanking you for interest
and help. l am. very truly yours,
Charles A. Wagner, Secretary of thu
State Board Of Education.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE IN SCHOOLS

Being Taught With Success in the Mil
ford High School by Mrs. j. Lynn Pratt
The domestic science inaugurated in
the public school course in the Milford
High school last March, is proving of
great interest to the pupils generally.
When the course was installed Mrs. ].
Lynn Pratt took charge and until the
end of the term instructed the children
without cost to the town. Last autumn
the Board of Education employed Mrs.
Pratt and increased the scope of the
course. The children cook everything
themselves, and large number of
pupils living several squares from the
school purchase their noon luncheon
each day at schedule price. The
girls are enthusiastic in the work. In
a number of rural schools. the teachers
have undertaken to teach the children
the rudiments Of cooking, and in som
of them excellent results have beer
obtained.

BUY AUTO FOR SUSSEX COUNTY
Sussex Commissioners to Save Money
Over Hiring an Automobile

SuSSeX commissioners 10 gave money
Over Hiring an Automobile
Believing that they can curtail the
expenses of travel throughout the
county by purchasing an automobile
instead of going to the garages and
hiring one every time they desire to
make an inspection of piece of road
or bridge, the county commissioners
have decided to buy one. On the
sides of the car will be printed the
words "Susse:S County" in fairly good
sized letters. The machine will pos
sibly be used by the county engineer
who is to be elected. Many believe
that Prof. Robert Thoroughbred, a
graduate of Lafayette College and
former professor of Cornell University,
who is now holding a professorship in
the college at Gainesville, Florida will
be chosen by the commissioners. He
is a former Georgetown boy, is ex
perienced in engineering work and as
sisted one of the commissioners-Wil

to lay off the lines of Georgetown

Bird Feed By Barrel
Must Have Been Scattered Out On
Snow Around Dunnville

The heavy snow did not destroy
the quail in Kentucky, according to
reports received by @. Ward, ex-
ecutive agent for the Kentucky
Game and Fish Commission at Frank
fort. He said the department is in
debted to many farmers who helped
to feed the birds. The wardens did
all they could, but were unable to
cover the State.
District Game Warden Sam j.
Embry, here, is having some inter-
esting aftermaths of the "feed the
birds" order sent broadcast over the
state by the State Game Warden.
When he received the wire from Mr..
Ward to phone over the district and
tell the farmers to feed the birds, he
did so and told them as per instruc-
tions, to send in their bills. Last
week he received bills from Dunn
vile, Casey county, amounting to a
total of about SIS. Mr.. Embry says
that he has fired the bills back, with
the statement that SIS would feed
all the birds in the four counties OF
the district the whole winter.

Judge Harry N. Jones
Formerly OF McCreary County, Buys
Out E. c. Walton's Store

f. C. Walton, who embarked in the
grocery and meat business some two
months ago, buying out w. r. Willis
e. Son, has sold out to Judge Harry
N. Jones, originally of Campbells-
vile, but who moved here from Lon
don, where he has lived the past year
Mr.. Jones took charge Thursday. hav-
ing nvoiced the night previous. Black
burn Huffman, who had charge of
the meat department with Mr.. Wal
ton, will continue with Mr.. Jones.
MIR. Jones was a resident of Nc
Creary county when that county was
created and had the distinction of
being its first county judge, having
been appointed by Gov. McCreary.
As that county is overwhelmingly
republican, it is hardly necessary to
state that he was not candidate
when an election for his successor was
held.
Mrs. Jones came down soon after
her husband had arrived and they are
living for the present in the rooms
over the store. Their children, who
are in school, will join them soon.

WIND WRECKS
BIG BUILDING
Old Christian College At Hustonville
Practically Ruined By Wind
storm Wednesday Night

One OF the most peculiar wind
storms ever known in this section of
Kentucky practically demolished the
old Christian College, now used as
the graded and high school building
at Hustonville, unroofed several 9th
or structures and did quite a lot of
other damage there about 8 o'clock
Wednesday night The miniature cy-
clone then took hop, skip and a
jump and flattened out about Is tel
ephone poles along the Stanford and
Crab Orchard pike, just south of
Rowland, and about II miles east of
the scene of its other antics. So far
as can be learned, beyond blowing
down a number of trees and tearing
off limbs, no other damage of con-
sequence was done by the small-siz-
ed tornado which ragged through this
section early that evening. -.
The old college building is practi-
cally ruin. Luckily the force OF
the wind struck it on the west side.
Supt. S. S. Robinson, of the Huston
vile high and graded school, makes
his home with his family, in rooms
in the northern part of the building,
and were uninjured when the west
end went down and the roof were
torn off. The walls of the other .por-
ton of the building, are warped so,
it is said, that they will all have to be
rebuilt before the building is habit
able or safe for use again. There
was $4,000 insurance carried on the
building in the insurance agency OF
r. VI. Newland, of Stanford, and Mr.
Newland. states that settlement will

A portion of the big flour mill OF
the Hustonville Milling Company was
unroofed by the heavy wind and
telenhone wires and poles went down
in the wake Of the storm. the damage
being particularly severe out Dan
willie street, going south from Hus'

DR.. cox WILL BE
BURIED HERE
Former Resident of Stanford Dies At
Ripe Old Age At Home of Son
In Jonesboro, Tennessee

DR. c. A. Cox, for many years a
resident of Stanford, died at an
early hour Friday, at the home of his
son, Charles f. Cox, at Jonesboro,
Tenn, at the advanced age of 10
years. A telegram to his nephew, Dep
uty Collector Rowan Saufley, contain
ed the brief announcement of his de-
mise, which did not come as sur
prise, for his health had been stead
lily declining since the death of his
wife a little more than five years ago.
DR.. Cox was born in Missouri, but
came to Kentucky when mere boy
and settled in Wayne county. He
was reared on a farm but studied
medicine, and was known as very
skilfu surgeon in his younger days.
When the Civil War broke out, he
joined the Union army and was made
/ surgeon with the rank of captain.
He served throughout hostilities and
after peace was established, returned
to Monticello and for many years
practiced his profession. He mar
red Miss Helen Saufey, youngest
| sister of the late Judge M. c. Sauiley
/ and to them were born five children,
| only one of whom survives to mourn
the loss of as kind and indulgent
father as lived, Charles +. Cox, now
a successful business man of Jones'
boro, Tenn.
The bitterness of the Civil war
was, perhaps, more pronounced in
Wayne and adjoining counties than
anywhere else in Kentucky, due to
the fact that those who espoused the
cause of the South were vastly in the
minority. Dr. Cox's brothers-in- law,
JAS NJ Sauhey, who was killed in
1862, and Judge Sauney, were both
Confederate soldiers, and were fire.
quently engaged in bitter fights
against the regiment to which DR.. Cox
belonged, but after peace was restor-
ed, they became fast friends, and no
man ever had truer, better friend
than the late Judge Sauhey had in
DR.. Cox.
Some years ago. the deceased To-
Gated in Stanford and for long
while was a successful travelling sales
man. but age coming upon him, he
gave up his business and lived quiet
" with his son until the end came to
him this morning.
DR.. Cox was Il devout Christian. a
consistent member of the Methodist
church and he yielded mp the mortal
life, firm in the faith of the true and
living God, and in a benign belief in
the everlasting JOY of those who
trust in their Savior.
The remains will be brought here
for interment, the funeral probably
being from the home of Mr.. Saufley
on Danville avenue.

Girls! Have A Mass
Of Beautiful Hair,
Soft, Glossy, Wavy
ascent Bottle Destroys DandruH
And Doubles Beauty OF Your
Your Hair

Within ten minutes after AN appli-
cation of Danderine you can not find
a single trace of dandruff or failing
hair and your scalp will not itch, but
what will please you most will be at
ter few weeks use, when you see
new hair, fine and downy-growing
all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw il
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. The effect is amaz-
ing-your hair will be light, fluffy
and wavy, and have an appearance OF
abundance; an incompatible lustre,
softness and luxuriance.
Get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and prove that your
hair is as pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment-that's all
you surely can have beautiful hair
and lots of it if you will just try a
little Danderine. lO-l
