BEREA WELFARE WORKERS

$40 Calumet Ave. Middletown, o.
September 70, 1918.
Dear Editor Of The Citizen:
After an absence from Berea OF
ten months We. as Berea College
Welfare Workers. among the Ken
lucky people in Middletown. o., de-
sire to break the long period Of ST.
lence 10 many Of our friends by
giving you little glimpse Of the
work We are doing.
We came to Middletown practi-
cally strangers to most Of our Ken
lucky folk. We began to secure
the cooperation Of the churches,
schools. local organizations, social
agencies, industries. real estate
companies, business people and city
officials. until now we are in vital
touch with over two thousand peo-
pie. We are endeavoring TO help
our people secure better living con-
ditions. We have assisted many in
securing employment, visited the
sick and afflicted and OBLIGATED at
number Of funerals.
Our principal work this summer
has been organizing and working
with the boys and girls. including
the ages Of ten and fourteen years.
We have had classes in gardening
and home science.
We closed this work with an all
day and evening fair. Friday, Sep
TENDER 6. with prizes awarded TO
our Kentucky people winning in
gardening, canning, baking, sewing,
crocheting, etc.
The fair was held at our home
where we registered about two hun
dred and fifty visitors. Six former
Berea students assisted us during
the day Of the fair. There were
visitors from a number Of cities;
seven states were represented and
nineteen kentucky counties. Inc
public was invited, and pronounced
il a decided success. IL certainly
did surprise many Of our friends
and was a great advertisement for
Berea College and our fireside in
dustries.
Some Of our boys have already
gone 10 Berea TO enter school and
others are planning TO go. DR..
Weidler, in his recent visit with us,
helped influence some young men
for Berea.
IL would be unjust TO the Ameri-
can Rolling Mill Company here II

work they are doing, both for the
welfare Of their employees and Mid

many sections Of the city.
Our home and equipment was
made possible thru their generous
cooperation. A number Of the
other industrial heads have shown
a helping hand. Many courtesies
have been shown US by neighbors
and friends.
There is a wonderful field here,
and We desire the prayers of all our
Berea workers and friends, and send
best wishes and kind regards TO all.

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY
PERRY COUNTY TEACHERS

The following resolutions copied
from the Hazard Herald, Of Septem-
Der Q. were reported by the Com
mittee on Resolutions at the close
of the Teachers Institute Of Perry
County. Friday. September 6. 1918.
and were adopted unanimously.
Practically all the teachers in the
county attended the institute and it
was considered one Of the most sue
cessful ever held in the county.
The institute closed at noon Friday.
The resolutions adopted were:
1. That we endorse the adminis-
tration Of County Superintendent VI.
C. Napier
2 That we. as teachers. feel great
~ indebted to Prof c. d. Lewis. Of
Berea College. for the splendid way
in which he has instructed the In
stitute. He has been a source Of
great help. both in an educational
and an inspirational way.
3. That we. as a body Of teachers,
shall make every possible effort to
stamp out illiteracy in our respect
i've districts. This can be done only
by each teacher being conscientious
and faithful 10 his or her calling.
I. That we appreciate the SPLEEN
did talks on patriotism and food con-
servation given by Mrs. Graves,
Mrs. Faulkner and Miss Trueman.
and that we as teachers promise our
earnest support 10 the Food Admin
istration in the conservation Of food
in our respective districts.

County request the Fiscal Court TO
furnish a farm demOnstrator for

The Real Estate Man

Perry County, also a canning club
agent, and that the County Board Of
Education furnish us a rural school
supervisor.
<. That we recommend that the
election Of all state and county
school officials be nOn-polltlcal, and
held at times other than the general
election.
10. That as the public school sys-
TEN in Kentucky has serious defects
as applied TO rural schools, caused
partly by the lack Of efficient teach
ers. due to meager remuneration, we
therefore recommend that the rural
school term be extended TO nine
months and the maximum and mini
mum salaries Of teachers be from
$50 to si25 per month and paid on a
specific date. We contend that any
occupation should yield the promise
Of not only sustenance for the indi-
vidual and those dependent, but also
provide an accumulation for the
protection Of old age. We maintain
that any one who has not this end
in view is shiftless and aimless, and
therefore calculated to succeed in
no calling in which he may be en-
gagged. This cannot be attained by
the teacher in the rural school on
his present salary, hence the lack Of
professional teachers.

The boys Of our department gave
the girls the most cordial reception
that was in their power to give
last Monday afternoon. All the
boys had everything in their rooms
just a-smiling with the home
touch. was an overheard express
sion Of an impressed girl Some Of
the girls could see no room for i'm
provement, everything was so well
arranged. And originality pre-
vailed. There was no set system;
every room was under the sole su-
pervision Of its occupant. The boys
fully deserved the commentator
which they received from the girls.
Now Just looking thru the rooms
did not end the reception. Dean
Clark had already limited TO the
boys, this is a mighty good time to
pick you out a girl" Boys are
somehow not so hard-headed when
it comes to taking hints. This was
proved when nearly every boy &C
companied his choice 10 the Voca-
tional Chapel TO hear good music,
inspiring talks, and above all 10
partake Of the refreshments served
by the generous Vocational boys.

Scandal TOWNSHIP.

In spite of a windy and some
what disagreeable day, a large
assembly gathered at John Pet
erson's home to celebrate July
4th. Mr.. Mattson, who has
charge of the Swedish Lutheran

appropriate program among
which may be mentioned a solo
and an address by Rev. Redahl
and a reading by Miss Myrtle
Hedeen.

ped soldiers can hardly be imag-
ined. Artillery practice, rifle
practice at the government
range, drills in the use Of gas
resisting equipment and all &C
tivities that make for soldierly
efficiency have claimed the at
tention Of the men every avail
able moment.
Brig. Gen. w. D. Beach, COM
handing officer at Camp Dodge,
has issued the following:
The records made by the artil-
lery and infantry in their range
practice this week are matters
for every man in the 88th divis-
ion to view with pride. Officers
have good cause to be proud of
the showing their men are max
ing with their rifles and guns
this week. Many of these men
have just entered military SER
vice and have had no previous
experience, but are doing splend-
idly. The spirit Of the 88th di-
vision, that spirit so commend
able in the American soldiery
and which is to be a big factor
in winning the war, is exempli-
fled in the work on. the range.
Officers and men are putting in
long, arduous days at the ranges
showing a great amount of in
terest and enthusiasm in this
work. I am glad to feel that the
men of the 88th division have en-
tered into this training with a
willingness to bend every effort
and give their entire strength
and skill if need be to make them
as proficient as possible before
they take their places on the
firing line with Germans as tar
gets.

made oath in the first place Of
their desire and intention to be-
come full-f1edged American citi-
zens and then refuse to qualify
when the requirements imposed
by the first act became effective.
It is believed that there are ade-
quate grounds of perjury to be
brought against such as refuse
to complete the naturalization
act.
Orders issued direct all organ
ization commanders to have such
aliens in their commands report
to the naturalization board for
further examination and an op-
portunity to state their reasons
for not wanting to become citi-
zens. The number of these cas-
es is proportionately small in re-
lation to the number of aliens
who are anxious to become full
fedged citizens.
1t is stated that it cost $780,
train a soldier and get him on
the firing line in France. When
the amount represented in some
OF the government checks that
! pass through the Des Moines
| banks is taken into account this
fact becomes apparent. The
other day Major E.. C. Mears,
paymaster of the 88th division
at Camp Dodge, drew a check
through the Des Moines Nation
al Bank against the treasurer Of
the United States for $2,718,-
531.81. The payroll of the Of
ficers at Camp Dodge amounts
to over $1,000, 100000 a month.
Add to this the monthly stipend
of the men, the cost of supplies
and equipment, the cost and care
of the thousands of horses and
mules and some idea can be
formed of the expensiveness of
preparation of war.
Drafted Men May Join Marines.
Postmasters over the country
have been instructed to give pub
lie notice in every community
that men who were registered
June 9Th, having become of age
the past year, can enlist in the
marine service at any time and
need not await classification.
These men must present their
registration cards and a certifi-
cate from their local board stat
ing that they have the consent
of the board to enlist in the mar
