AGREED UPON
FRAMED BY SCHOOL LEADERS
Work of New State Superintendent,
K. E. A. Committee and Coun-
ty Superintendents.

Louisville, KY, Dec. 5.-WhaC Is
considered by many the most impor-
tant development in the history of
public education in Kentucky came
when it was announced that unani-
nous agreement has been reached
between the members of the legisla-
tive committee of the Kentucky Ed
ucational Association and the 120
county school superintendents in this
State for a school reform program to
20 presented on the first day of +
c.ming session of the Kentucky Leg
isature
The substance of the program will
be found below. The fact that it has
at last been agreed upon, with the
Democratic county superintendent
ana cduc7 : as enthusiastic in its
favor as the Republicans, is, in large
measure, due to Mr.. George ColVin,
who was elected State Superinten-
dent Of instruction November 4 last,
and WHO will assume charge of that
Office Tuesday of next week
A brief conference was held Fri
day morning, and Immediately there
after Mr.. Colvin announced that ;
unanimous agreement had beer
reached and that all the county
school superintendents, all the mem
bers of the Legislative Committee OF
the X E. A will unite to push TIE
bill through.
The Program Agreed
Below vii be found all of the i'm
portant matters at last agreed up
on and supported by the solid
strength of Kentucky educators anC
friends of education
FIRST-A survey of the schools
of Kentucky to be conducted by ex,
perts at cost of $4,000.
SECOND-The submission of {
constitutional amendment to the peo-
pie whereby the State Superinten.
dent OF Instruction may be made an
appointive officer, as is the Superin-
tendent of Schools in Louisville, this
being for the purpose of taking the
schools out of politics.
THIRD-The election of all coun-
ty boards of education from the
county at large instead of districts.
(A)-Vesting in the COUNTY board
of education the power to select
county school superintendents, thus
doing away with the political elective
method.

of education and their appointee,
the county superintendent, the au-
thority to employ and dismiss school
teachers.
(C}-Vesting in these county
boards the power to fix the county

clare Terms Were Received
In Private Advices

Chicago, Dec. 8.-The proposal
presented to John L. Lewis, acting
president, and William Green, secre-
.ary-treasurer, of the United Mine

er Saturday night included a IA per
cent wage advance to miners and the

by the striking miners, according to
private advices from the national
capital received by DR. F. c. Hon

Operators Association,
DR., Honnold declared this indi-
Gated that the strike would be set
tied by Tuesday or Wednesday and
that the miners would be back at
work not later than Friday, at least,
in Illinois.
The terms of the proposal as IN
terpreted by DR.. Honnold from the
advices received indicated that they
were similar to the plan previously
put forward by Fuel Administrator
Garfield and that they contained GER
tain details of settlement that vii
not be made public until after the
consideration of them by the miners
executive board in Indianapolis OF
Tuesday.
Details Carefully Guarded.
Washington, Dec. 8.-Government
proposals for settling the coal strike
last night were cloaked with veil In
mystery which promised to lift only
in Indianapolis Tuesday when the
Federal court and the leaders of the
{ United Mine Workers alike will be
called upon to consider them.
Attorney General Palmer and his
special assistant, Judge Ames, were
travelling to indianapolis tonight on
the same train with John L. Lewis
acting president, and William Green,
secretary ofthe mine workers union,
whose secret visit and equally secret
conference yesterday with Mr.. Palm
er and Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary
to President Wilson, resulted in a
provisional agreement to settle. Not
one of the participants of the con-
ference would discuss its meaning or
int, Mt.
Before boarding the train for In
dianapolis, Mr.. Palmer, however,
said he was quite sure that the end
of the strike was in sight 1t was
learned that he would confer with
Judge Anderson of the federal dis
trict court on reaching indianapolis.
In official quarters Fuel Admins
traitor Garfield, speaking with brevity
and emphasis, added only doubt to
the situation.
"My position has not been budged
one inch and will not be-" he said.
it was recalled that yesterday Mr..
Garfield had reiterated that not one
cent would be added to the price of
coal to finance wage increases to the
miners greater than the IA per cent

of womanhood and not realizing it to
any degree commensurate with his de-

But even so, what difference did all
that make either, if only she would

for him as much as he cared for her
