STATE NEGRO SCHOOLS
TO Be STANDARDIZED
Educators to Meet In Louisville April
Is to Perfect Plans.

Frankfort, KY, March 26-Dr. F. C.
Button, supervisor of negro schools
in Kentucky, the principals of the col
ored high schools of Kentucky and
leading educators of this State will
meet in Louisville April rs and rs to
devise the method Of standardizing the
negro schools of this State. Under
the passage of the recent school laws
the University of Kentucky is made
the standard for white schools. and the
work done at accredited high schools
is credited by the University of Ken
lucky when a graduate from the high
school enters that institution.
v, Gilbert, superintendent of pub
lie instruction, discovered that there
was no provision for the negro insti-
tutions of learning under this bill, as
regards the University of Kentucky.
He has construed the law, so that a
negro institution of learning may be
made the standard for the colored
schools as the University of Kentucky
has for the high schools.
The Kentucky Normal and Indus
trial Institute of this city will be made
the standard for the negro high
schools and will bear the same rela-
ton to those schools as the Univer-
sity Of Kentucky does to white schools
Of this State.

Little Things Cause Sunshine.
The sunshine Of life is made up of

are the ways in which clouds and

Discharge Papers
By Filing With Register

Notices have been published in many
OF the papers of the country calling
the attention of the discharged SOL
diers to the fact that their discharge
papers should be carefully preserved.
This is very timely advice, and all re-
turning soldiers are advised that the
safest way to safeguard these papers,
is to file them with the register of
deeds in their home county. When
the boy is let out of service, the only
thing he often sees i'm his discharge
papers is the fact that 1t gives him a
chance to return to civil life. But il
has more of a significance. The dis
