kentucky has sunk discouragingl
low in the educational scale, but the
present thoroughly aroused interest of
the State at large in schools is encour
aging and will do much toward push
ing us upward. We belong near the
top. We must make a place for our
selves there and hold it against all
time
The provision In the new school law
for the election of q County Board of
Education In each county seems the
best solution of the problem of rural
education. Therefore, my appeal is
especially to women, whether they
ha e children in school or not. Edu-
cation through schools being the chief
preparation for future citizenship. our
duty lies in making them as Efficient as
lies in our power. To women is left
the direction of children's education,
in q large degree, SO you must exert
the recent privilege of suffrage in
electing to your County Board of Edu-
cation good, clean, capable and consci
entious men who will use every influ-
ence to create and maintain a nom
partisan Board.
Since the rural school is the great
hope for Kentucky's educational rise,
you, women and mothers must WELD
mighty influence both inside and out
side the home, through the helpful and
organized work of Parent-Teacher AS
soeiations. Every school district finds
It's Parent-Teacher or Mothers Club
a solution to most of its problems,
whatever they may be, for it is COM
bining of the forces of the home and
the school for the good of the school
and to meet its every need.
Women, faniliarize yourselves with
the new school law, then form Par
ent-Teacher Association in your COM
munity, or strengthen the one already
formed, for the full enforcement and
right Interpretation of thar law as 1t
is unquestionably the only right meth

HELP WIPE OUT iLLITERAcY

General E. III. Woods, who heads the
Farm Bureau movement in Kentucky,
urges the farmers 10 interest them
selves in the selection Of strong Boards
of Education in the following:
All honor and much credit is due to
the Kentucky School Administration
Law. This wise and timely law leaves
u with the rural population OF this
state to carry out it's intention. One.
of the great objects Of the Kentucky
Farm Bureau Federation is 10 work to
the end that the country boy and girl
in Kentucky can have inst as good
schools as have the city and town boy
and girl. This L regard as one of the
most important steps in order to stop
the flow of population from farm to
the town. Another is to help wipe out
illiteracy in this state.
Aristotle was once asked how much
educated men were superior TO the IN
educated men. His reply was, "As
much as the living are TO the dead"
We want our state to have d living
population. The Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton intends to keep clear of political
alliances, but we are 100 per cent
American and stand for the support
of our government in the protection Of

When Mrs. Geo. Q. Weldon was ask
ed for statement concerning the new
school laws. which will become opera
tive next November in the election Of

said:
With the prospect before me Of Ken

Is impossible to resist the pleasing
temptation Of urging that every man
an woman, whether they be parent,
teacher or citizen, add their interest,
Their energy and their support to the
Cause Of Education. May our giori-
Gus State not hold back, but by Its
every act add impetus through increas

been grave one and the appointment
of the right person to that position is
of vital Importance.
