Kentucky is engaged in great
campaign to wipe out illiteracy, a
campaign which is lead by the teach
ers and supported by every right
thinking, patriotic citizen of the
state. While redeeming our adult
illiterates we must also see to it that
our children are kept in school and
and thus prevent illiterates from
coming on in the future The noble
teachers who are striving to accom-
plsh these two important things for
our state are doing a work so con-
structive so heroic and so commend
able that all must see the justice in
taking immediate steps toward in
creasing the salaries of these teach
ers. Better salaries are due them
and letter salaries they must have
if we hold them in the ranks and
keep our schools on high plane Of
efficiency.
The Kentucky Illiteracy Commits
sion and the County School Superin-
tendents of Kentucky have blended
these three paramount educational
problems and will present them for
the consideration of the whole peo-
pie Of Kentucky during the week of
August $3.50. During this week
Statewide Educational Campaign
will be waged and these problems
will be carried by earnest and pa
triotic speakers to the people of
every county and every school dis
trict in the state. Such a campaign
will cause our people to stop and
consider the illiterate in his darkness
and his bondage, to consider the sin
of keeping a child out of school and
the unfairness of paying the teach
ers of this Commonwealth less than
a living wage as they have never re-
Elected upon these things before. 1t
will not only cause the citizens Of
Kentucky to think and reflect over
the seriousness of these problems
but will be followed, | believe, by
prompt and decided action on the
three things which / desire to reit-
crate.
Wiping out Illiteracy.
Increasing day school attendance.
Bettering teachers salaries.
|, therefore, proclaim the week of
August $3.50 as educational week
in Kentucky and call upon all
school officials, every teacher and
every citizen to devote their whole
time during this period toward
arousing burning interest in these
subjects among the people Of their
localities. / recommend that all
gatherings or occasions in conflict
with this State wide educational
campaign be postponed and that all
who are devoted to other interests
abandon them for the time that
such an impetus may he given to
these great educational problems as
will lead to their wise and speedy
solution.

CANTRILL BACKS STATE MEN,
ORAL TO HEROIC DEAD

"The idea of erecting memorial
buildings instead Of monuments of
marble or bronze to the men who
ost their lives in the war is such a
ogical one that it is being adopted
lot only by many states, but by the
nation" said Congressman ]. Camp
bell Cantrill, in discussing the pro-
posed State memorial building at
the University of Kentucky. Mr..
Cantrill was in Lexington enroute to
Washington.
"There is now in progress at the
national capital movement to erect
a mammoth convention hall in which
will be placed ON bronze tablets the
names of. all Americans who lost
their lives in the service. 1t will be
used by multtudes who will be con-
tinually reminded of the sacrifices
made by the men in whose honor it
will be built, and of the principles of
democracy for which they died. With
each days use by people seeking
to perpetuate the fruits of victory,
it will become a more suitable trib-
ute to the dead and a greater exam
pie to the living. 1t will be a monu-
ment more lasting than brass, and a
worthy memorial.
"Kentucky should take the same
steps to honor her $500 sons who
died in the service, and / shall do
everything in my power to promote
the campaign to obtain 100000 for
a State memorial building on the
campus at the University of Ken
lucky. 1t is peculiarly fitting that
the building should be at the State
University rather than at the State
Capital, since il will be continually
before the eyes and in the use of
the young men and women who will
reap the benefits of the peace won by
the dead heroes, many of whom came
from their number. 1 understand
that the proposed building will be
used to house student activities, and
will have large auditorium for stu
dent assemblies. Such a use will
further dignity the memorial, which
is to have in the rotunda, tablets
bearing the names Of men from each
county who gave their lives, and will
keep forever green the memory of
those we wish TO honor.
"Since the University has donated
the site, ] am sure there will be lit
tie difficulty in raising the money
needed for the building. The amount
asked is not large, smaller than
that asked by several states which
are planning similar memorials, and
it is fitting that the necessary fund

~ HREE hundred and ten years
ago. this month. a quaint little
W. ship named the Half Moon sailed
across the Atlantic Ocean under the
command OF Henry Hudson. Hudson
was an Englishman, representing the
interests of the Dutch East India Com
pany. and In his little boat he started
out from Dutch shores to find a short
route TO the Islands of the South Seas.
His aim was to find an opening into
the Pacific Ocean and he believed his
dream to be realized when he
anchored the Half Moon In what is
now New York Bay. He thought that
the great river which today bears his
name was a connecting link between
the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans
which cut its way across the continent,
for 1t was salt before the rise of the
tides.
Anxious TO explore this new route to
the Pacific he set sail and journeyed

with the Indians he was kind and fair
and the Red Men looked upon him at
first as The Great Spirit who had
come to earth to visit them.
The plans of the Half Moon had
been kept in Holland, where the lit
tie craft had been made. and when
ten years ago. a great celebration took
place in New York in honor of Henry
Hudson, whose discovery had been
the beginnings of the great metropolis
a second Half Moon was made from
the original plan and a model was ex-
hibited in New York that the children
of today might know in what kind
of a boat the early discoveries braved
the seas to find new worlds. This
Half Moon has been preserved for all
visitors to New York at all times to
see. so that all may remember Henry
Hudson and his discovery in that far
away September. 1909.

THE SAVIOUR OF PARIS

d" LITTLE shepherd girl sat on
the hills and watched her flock
as they wandered over the
- d green grass towards Paris. The
little girl was very fair to look upon
for d kindly light shown from her
soft eyes, and the smile that played
about her lips was born OF love and
sympathy. She sat thus, on the hill
side near her home in Nanterre, and
dreamed of the saints, whose stories
she knew. for but lately had the
Christians come to Gaul. and she with
many others had been won over and
converted to the new religion.
