INCREASED EFFICIENCY REQUIRED.
To meet these demands of the
Nation will require large increases
in the extent of efficiency of all
grades and kinds of education from
kindergarten to the university and
the professional and technical
school.
If the cost of living and the val
ue of money were the same as be-
fore the war, there would be need
for the immediate increase of not
less than 80 rer cent for the main
tenance of schools, including the
pay of teachers.
There is also great need for new
buildings and equipment-more
than in ordinary times-because for
three or four years there has been

"World Outlook" is the general
theme of the conference. That
however does not mean that ordina-
ry problems will not be discussed.
There will be several splendid adj
dresses, but each OF these will be
followed by a general open discuss
ion of ways and means to raise the
standards of intellectual social,
and moral standards of every school,
In addition to an elaborate ban
quet with which the conference will
open, number of other good times
will have been arranged. Practical
ly all of Saturday afternoon will be
given over to athletics, ander the
directson of one of 4he foremost
PhysicallDirectors of the State. In
all probability, there will be at least
one exhibition game of basket ball
as well as other match games.
Registration cards are being sent
to the local schools, in order that
every school in this section will
have chance to be represented.

The Criiss in Education.
By P. P. CLAYTON.

Largly because of the events of
the war and the resultant condi-
tions, there is more need of educa-
ton of the best and most compre-
hensive type than ever before in
this country, for the production of
material wealth to meet the mate
rial losses of the war, for citizen
ship in a new and democratic era
when the world looks to America as
to no other nation since the fall of
the Roman Empire, for the devel'
opment of manhood snd woman
hood, and for culture such as a
democratic nation like ours ought
to make possible for all its people.

BEST TEACHERS USUALLY 60 FIRST.
In many States, cities and COM
munities a considerable increase has
been made in appropriations for ed
ucational institutions. Salaries of
some teachers have been increased
from 20 to 80 per cent, but this is
not sufficient. This country is con-
fronted with shortage of teachers;
it is the best teachers rather than
the poorest that are lost to the pro-
fession, and their places must be
filled with those who are less well
prepared, have less natural ability,
less general education, culture, pro-
, fessional knowledge, and technical
training.
In Jrnusry of this year reports to
the Bureau of Education indicated
that between $4,000 and 10000
schools were without teachers, and
IS, 900 schools supplied with tempo.
rary makeshift teachers whose quail
ifcations were less than the qualif-
cations regulasly required by the
State in which they taught, but who
were given temporary license in Or
der that schools might be filed in
some way. More than 100000 teach
ers are now teaching with less than
the required minimum standard of
qualifications.
COUNTRY SCHOOLS NEED BEST
TEACHERS.
A teacher in an elementary
chool, especially in a country
sschool in which one teaches all sub
jects to all grades and all ages in
the only school that many oi the
pupils will ever attend, should pos
sess at least modern high-school
training, with two years of college
or normal school education, includ-
ing some professional instruction
and training. More than half of
the teachers in the United States
have less than this.
This condition has always existed,
but becomes more fatal now than
at any time in the past. Under
present conditions it must continue
it must continue to exist. The nor
NAL schools and classes in which
special instruction for teaching is
given in colleges and universities
have smaller attendance than at
any time fn recent years. The
of normal-school graduates
is only 70 or 20 per cent of what it
was in 1916.
Conditions are not much better in
the colleges and universities. The
shortage is particularly great among
teachers with special preparation
'or industrial-technical work. In
lustries are paying much larger
prices for these than the schools
pay.
For the increase Of material
wealth, for the citizenship and well
are of the Nation and the people
,hese conditions must be rcmedied
IS soon as possible. To do this
will require from two to three times
IS much money as has been appro-
Driated in the past for education.

The matter that most vitality con-
Germs the Democratic voters in Ken
lucky this year is the election Of
full Democratic electoral ticket in
Kentucky may depend the choice Of
a president for this country for the
next four years. Upon the election
OF Democratic senator in this state
may depend the political complexion
Of the United States senate for two
to six years. The loss Of one or two
congressman in Kentucky might de-
termine the political makeup Of the
next house of representatives. The
loss Of the state by 10000 20 the
Democrats last fall need not dismay
US II reunited party goes into the
battle this year. The rank and file
Of Kentucky Democrats will have lit
tie patience with any fractional fight
ing in the coming state convention
over the election Of state committees
or expressions Of presidential prefer
enee. The great and single thought
that should be in the minds Of all de-
legates is harmonious action and a
determination to allow the San Fran
cisco convention the widest latitude
in its consideration Of the best nom
nation to be made. Many import
ant developments may come between
the sth Of May when the Kentucky
convention will meet and the 2sth
Of June when the great gathering
at San Francisco will take place.

and they should have no unnecessary

Power Of Faith Subject Of Sermon
Preached by the Rev. Mr.. Gibson.

Inspired by the missions Of James
Moore Hickson. the Rev. Finley =.
Gibson. pastor Of the Walnut street
Baptist Church, preached last night
on faith from a passage in the Old
Testament. in which he described the
leprosy Of Naon. the great biblical
warrior Of that period, and how
Elijah healed him by the injunction
that he submerge himself seven times
in the River Jordan, when, he was
told. his leprosy would disappear. In
making practical application Of
faith he described an incident Of re-
cent visit to Memphis, Tenn. DIR.
Gibson said, in substance:
while in Memphis last week was
told that it contained the most Won
derful negro man ! have ever heard
Of; that this negro could blow his
breath on my handkerchief and set II
aiire. said il was impossible; that
I could not and would not believe
that such thing could be done; that
such an almost impossible freak Of
nature could not believe until II had
been demonstrated to me and Others
in my presence.

me with a number Of other ministers
present His sleeves were rolled up
and he was made to wash his mouth
thoroughly with ice water. ! held
my handkerchief before him and he
blew his breath against il. and TO my
establishment, il was set fire. Here
is the handkerchief" He showed Il
with four burned holes in il TO the
congregation.
"Now, IL you don't believe me 20 to
Memphis and see for yourself" con-
tinued DR.. Gibson. This negro man
is employed in the Illinois Central
Railroad shops in that city. He has
been offered s700. a week to exhibit
this wonderful gift he has possessed
since a child. on the stage. but has
refused. saying that the good Lord
endowed him with this remarkable
gift and he would no, commentaries
