HAS GONE ON RECORD;
 RAILROAD ISSUES

MONTREAL, June 1s.-Govern- ment ownership, with democratic op- eration of railroads has received the endorsement of the American Fed eration of Labor, the question hav- ing been decided in that manner after a bitter fight among the dele gates in attendance at the annual convention. The proposal was sup ported and finally carried by the del egates representing the railroad un- ions, while the administration forces and President Gompers stood out for government control.
 Disorders interrupted the rollcall when the question was put to vote Charges of steam roller were hurled at the chair by Duncan of Seattle, when his request for rollcall to split the delegations was denied. The building trades delegations SUD- ported Gompers solidly, while the mine workers and metal trades or ganizations stood with the railroad CTS for government ownership.
 A resolution introduced at this mornings session, and adopted with out opposition, calls for congress sional investigation of the "tyran- nical, brutal and un-American SUD- pression of free speech in Pennsyl- vania." An invitation was extended to President Wilson to address a meeting in Pennsylvania, to be held under the auspices of the fedora ton, for the purpose of discussing the question of free speech and free assembly,

LACK OF Teachers
SERIOUS PROBLEM
Solution At Moment Is SeleC-
ton of County Boards
of Education
Every Real, Fine, True, Red-5Iooded
Man and Woman in Kentucky Urz q
to Get Busy at Once and interest
Themselves In School Matters.

Every county in Kentucky was short
Of rural teachers last year Every
county in Kentucky will be short
teachers again this season. This is a
serious proposition especially as the
number of men and women passing
the examinations lately held for teach
er's primary certificates was quite
small. OF course, the new minimum
salary of $500 per month for rural
teachers will help the situation in the
future; but the best possible solution
Of the problem right at this moment is
the selection and election of a strong
County Board of Education at the
November election.
The reader should not think of this
problem as a strictly Kentucky affair
for it is nation wide and extremely
serious. DR.. 2. 2. ClaXtOn, Commits
siOner of Education of the United
States, recently asserted before The
National Citizens Conference at
Washington, ID. c.:
THE new conditions require that
the schools shall be more efficient and
more effective than they have been
in the past and we are faced with the
danger that they may not be as eff
fective as In the past. We are con-
frOnted with a great shortage Of
teachers, and there seems to be little
oh Of To- 70 nd
ing to the most careful estimates that
can be secured, between three hun
dred and four hundred thousand chill
dren were deprived of schooling this
past year because of school closed as
the result of shortage.
Even more serious is the rapidly
growing number of sub-standard
teachers, More than bali the teach
ers OF the nation 350,600-are not
prepared on any reasonable basis for
the work Of teaching, a reasonable
basis being understood to mean the
minimum standard that progressive
communities have long insisted upon
two years of professional training
beyond the fOur-year high-schOOl
course.
"a conservative figure for the num-
Der of new teachers that will be re-
quired this fall Is 10000. 1t is more
likely to be 10000, and it may reach
10000. The graduates Of normal
schools this year will be % per cent
fewer than in 1915; they will total
about 10000. If we add to these the
largest possible number we can con-
ceive of from other teacher-training
instructions, we shall have at the out
side 10000 prepared teachers to fill
the vacancies, or a deficit of at least
10000"
Good County Boards of Education
have always been needed in each and
every county in the state; but they
are today a vital and absolute neCes-
Sity for the welfare of the county, the
state and the nation. Every real
fine, true, red-blOOded man and woman
in Kentucky should get busy a. once
and see to it that the new Boards Of
Education are composed of citizens
who will do big and constructive work
for the boys and girls on the farms.

ELECT STROnG
COUNTY BOARD
Thinking and Patriotic People
In Each County Are
Urged To Act
Problem Of the Rural School Will Be
Well on Its Way Toward Solution
When Interest In School Matters is
Manifest.

The editor realizes the crisis in edu-
cational matters which Kentucky and
the whole country is facing, so he has
been giving the readers of this paper
a series Of articles, statements and
cartoons 70 help put Kentucky on the
educational map. The reader recalls,
Of course, that the last legislature
passed some strong new school laws ;
but with the Multiplicity of new laws
on the statute books, he or she is
quite apt to have a rather hazy idea
of the law creating the new County
Boards Of Education to be elected
next November. AS the act creating
these County Board of Education is
too long to be printed in full, the
editor is giving an outline of it below.
The new County Board of Educa-
ton is to be composed of five men,
bers elected from the county at large.
The candidates for this office are Sc
cured by fifty voters signing a petit
ton to have each name placed on the
ballot. Any number of candidates
may be placed on this separate ballot
which shall carry no party emblem
or device, save the words School
Ticket" The five candidates receiv-
ing the largest number Of votes shall
become members Of the County Board
of Education.
This County Board of Education Sc
leCtS a county superintendent of
schools and decides upon the salary
which can not, under the law, be less
than $1,000 a year. The board will
also appoint in each school district a
trustee who shall look after the school
property; but shall have no voice in
the County Board.
This same County Board of EduCa-
ton shall fix the rate of taxation for
school purposes in the county; but
before doing 50 shall, with the help
of the county superintendent, make
an itemized and detailed budget Of
all school expenses.
This act, also, provides that the
County Board Of Education shall ap-
point at least one attendance officer
whose duties shall be to compel the
regular attendance Of all pupil chill
dren at school as provided by law.
1t is needless for the editor to say
in conclusion that this new law will
do much toward taking the county
schools out Of politics. If the thinking
and patriotic people Of the whole
country will interest themselves in the
selection and election of a strong
County Board Of Education, the prob
lem Of the rural school in the county
will be well on it's way toward sOlu-
ton. The fact that the editor Is CIV
ing this space to a discussion Of the
school problem when newsprint Is
both scarce and expensive and the
added fact that prominent men are
writing strong statements for the
press urging the people to get be-
hind their schools, means that we
must make our rural schools better II
we are to have a cOntented popula-
ton in the country, and thus strength
en- the nation.

THINK 1T OVER

A letter reaching the Bureau Of
Education at Washington lately from
an ordinary citizen contained the fol-
lowing pithy sentence:
"In the city they won't give people
with children house; and in the
country they won't give Us a school"
Think il over carefully.
