JEFF GETS BUSY
STARTS HIS LONG PROM.
ISED ROAD COLUMN
Look For II Every Week Now
The Job is His-Make
Him Keep II Up.
(By E. Jeffrey Travis J

(By +. jeffrey Travis.
There are always three things
necessary in bringing about any
good and beneficial achievement
for public benefit and public
utility-advertising, agitating,
then action.
l have been asked by our good
editor to write a good roads COL
umn for The Press. and am
glad to do so, especially at this
particular time as this will
come under the head "agitating'
and this is about all that can be
done to the Crittenden county
roads just now.
They cannot be travelled. nor
worked; complimented, nor
praised Nothing but "cussed"
and discussed. we might put in
our time agitating a better sys-
tenn for maintaining our dirt
roads, or some plan for building
hard roads, or getting ready to
fix our old dirt over again in the
spring as we have been accus-
toned to do since Noah came
out of the Ark or Adam out of
the Garden.
l have been trying for a
month to find away down deep
in my heart. or some where in
the back of my head, a good
word to give out to my faithful
overseers concerning their work
on their section for the spring
but have failed to get any kind
of response to my most serious
cogitations.
l felt a little better today
when l saw Harry Perry and
his faithful few working on
their road.
Mud roads need no comment
whatever, neither pro nor con,
but we do have some real en-
couragement to offer the Good
Road man, as well as gossip for
the kicker. and comment for the
objector. Mr.. W. N. Rees of
Frankfort is here now. making
a survey of the Marion and
Princeton road with a view of
building a pike-a rock road
if you please from Marion to
the Caldwell county line. Mr..
Rees is working for the state
and the work done by him will
not end like that done on the
same road a few years ago. l
know we are made. a great many
times, to think of John and the
wolf and the sheep" concerning
things of this kind, but we are
made to hope by those in au-
thority that some real work will
be done on this particular road
this year. We hope, a good
deal Of road will he finished this
year After the Princeton road
has been surveyed. the Shady
Grove road and the bridge at
FishTrap will be next surveyed +.
This will all be done this winter.

I. N. YOUNG WRITES.

In letter from I. N. Young,
now of Wellsford, Kansas, he
asks us to remember him to his
many friends through the col
umns Of The Press. He says
they are all well and are having
a fine winter. Most Of the farm
ers who are putting out oats are
plowing for them. Prospects
for wheat very poor.
Mr., Young had Just been to
a poultry show at Hutchinson
where they claimed they had
1000 birds on exhibit. r. c.
Dowell took three firsts, first
on hen. first on rooster and first
on pen. Must have been some
mighty fine chickens.

state school fund as compared
with other states, but only six
cents out of each dollar paid for
elementary teaching, in rural
ditricts, outside of the city and
graded school districts, comes
from local taxation, county or
district.
Kentucky's state fund almost
exactly equals the total amount
paid by counties and districts
for all school purposes. In the
United States the average is
one dollar from the State to
five dollars from local taxation.
In the three states with which
we are comparing ourselves the
ratio is one dollar from the
State to ten dollars from local
taxation. If our local taxing
units came up to the national
standard we would have about
$l2,000,000 added to our total
school fund.
Any subdistrict may, by vote,
levy upon itself a tax not to ex-
ceed 25 cents on the 500 for
school purposes but it Is 80
rarely done that very few know
of this means of securing funds
for payment of teachers and
other forms of school improve
ment.
The average annual salary
paid rural teachers in Kentucky
in 1867 was only $301.28 or
S43.04 per month. Is it strange
that we had that year to employ
l,676 wholly inexperienced tea
chers; that 1857 persons taught
in our schools with nothing
higher than a county certificate
as evidence of qualification to
teach; and that we occupy a
shamefully low place among our
sister states when compared
with them in those matters
which measure the efficiency Of
our school system:
Let every teacher in Kentuc-
ky, and every friend of educa.
ton. stand out boldly for the
rights of our children and the
teaching profession, and fight
for local taxation, better salar-
les, more adequate equipment
and better attendance until oul
State holds a position of which
we need not be ashamed. Cor.
rection not explanation is thu
great need. We must have
trained teachers well paid, work
ing in houses that are comfort.
