More Store Room. Planning
For Extensive Business.

modelling of B. F. Beard & Cos. gen.
eral merchandise store in Hardins-
burg, and Thomas J. Nolan, Louis
vile, an architect is experimenting
the work
The dry goods department is be-
ing enlarged by an extension of the
balcony all around the room in. place
of just being in the rear of the house
as it is now This will add consider
able more floor space and shelving
room to the dry goods department..
The company is preparing for a
more extensive trade this year than
its ever known. Advertising coa-
tracts with two of the county pape IS
have been let for the ensuing year.
and in order to meet the demands of
the trade that will necessarily follow
the advertising business, the company
had to enlarge its store room.

largest mercantile stores in Breckin-
ridge county and right now has the
promise of enjoying a continued
growth in business.

that she can and will do so. Very res
pectfully. --
The following is the usual form of
my reply and my advice to teachers:
My Dear Sir: Section 5, Common
School Laws (Sec 4367 KY. ST. says:
"All pupils who may be admitted to
common schools shall comply with
the regulations established in pursur-
ance of law for the government of
such schools"
A school which did not require that
the pupils be there at certain time
and ready to begin promptly would
certainly be very lax in its discipline
if it could be said to have discipline
at all 1t is hardly necessary for the
teacher to make rule that the pupils
shall be on time, for it is recognized
standard that the pupils should be
there when the hour for the opening
Of school arrives.
If the evil has become so noticeable
that the teacher has found it necessary
to insist that the pupils be on time,
and has made a ruling to that effect,
she certainly is within her right. In
fact failure to do so would be to fail
in her duty as required by law.
Having made the ruling to that eff
that some sort of penalty be inflicted
feet then it would appear necessary
when the rule is broken. Keeping in
after school hours would be the logi-
cal punishment, as the pupil has miss
ed a part of the days work in the
forenoon and should be required to
make up the lost time in the after
noon. ~
Now, if the hardness is not due to
lettering along the road, evidentually
the parents is at fault for not having
started the child to school in time to
reach there on time In this case of
course there should be some method
for furnishing the parent for violation
Of the Child Labor Law and keeping
the child out of school, or OBTAINING
him from punctual attendance at
school. Where the child is required
to work before school hours, and then
put in a full six-hour day in school is
of course a hardship upon the child,
but the parent and not the school is
inlicting the hardship.
The teacher is certainly within her
right, and is discharging her lawful
duty when she requires punctual at
tendance in school, and she sould be
encouraged in her efforts by every
patron of the school and parents
should cooperate with the teacher in
an attempt to secure full. prompt, and
regular attendance for the entire term
of the school Yours very truly,
]. r. Meador, Co. Supt.

The unusual rains and disorganiz-
ed train service have made it practical
lily impossible to hold the Teachers
Association that has been arranged
for the three preceding Saturdays.
Elsewhere in this issue will be found
the program Of the Association to be
held at Hardinsburg on Saturday,
Dec. 20. These meetings are primar-
lily for the teaching profession and for
the betterment of the conditions per-
tanning thereto. Every teacher should
be anxious to attend these meetings
and help to contribute everything in
his power for the good of the cause.
The meeting at Hardinsburg will be
the last one of the season. Let's make
it the biggest and best. Let every
teacher in the county attend and lend
his influence to a better school pro-
gram.
Teachers should not conclude that
because they are under-paid they
would be justified in rendering their
service sparingly. 1t is necessary more
than ever to show the public that we
are worth more and when we have
done that we will get more, The
teacher who, because he is under
paid, does less than his best is the
kind of teacher who helps to keep
the deserving one from getting a
salary commensurate with, the SER
vice he renders.

ing your profession don't begin.

MEMORIAL.
In Loving Memory of Mary Evelyn
Mccoy, Who Departed This Lie,
December 8, 1918.

One year has just passed since dar-
ling Mary left us, and OIL how we
have missed her during these sad days
We miss her pleasant smile and kind
words for she always had smile and
a word of cheer for every one she
met.
She was loving kind and gentle, and
all who knew her loved her because OF
her sweet disposition.
Mary was very fond of singing,
Christ is King" being one of her fav-
orite songs, and one in which we
especially enjoyed her. Though we
cannot see why God has taken her
away. We know. that He is infinitely
wise and just. Too wise, to err, too
good to Be unkind.
He has only added another chord
10 draw the loved ones to heaven.
We have lost beautiful loving char
acter and while we feel our loss so
deeply, we know that our loss is heav-
ems gain. She has gone to make
that heavenly home brighter and Is
waiting for us to come.

Thy hast flown 70 thy rest;

AS a general rule conditions are not

in one school is found in all schools

sonal equation.
In the early fall parents complain
that they must keep their children at
home for their work; later Susie's, or
Jimmie's health is not good and the
weather is too bad to attend school;
recently the complaint has been that
the days are so short that il is impos-
sibie to get the children TO school on
time, and il the teacher insists that
pupils reach school on time for the
opening of the session, parents are
