years past has been how can this be
accomplished, now the solution Is pre-
sented In the new school laws.
A law is no stronger than public SEN
timent, no law will work automatically.
Are the farmers really and truly In
terested In the education Of their chill
/. dren? Are they really and truly 100
per cent Americans? Are they op-
posed to Bolshevlsm? DO they think
this government worthy of, and are
they willing to do their best that 1t be
perpetuated?
Everything depends upon the inter
est manifested in the election of the
County Board Of Education, Of the
election of men who will without fear
or favor stand first for square deal
for the boys and girls Of the State
who will have their interest as Of first
consideration their future as of prime
importance.
That there are number of men and
women In every county in Kentucky
fully competent to compose these
boards is unquestioned, The County
Farm Bureaus should take an active
part In impressing on them their re-
sponsibillty; on calling the attention
of the people to them, on seeing that
the names Of such men and women are
placed on the ballot and on an aggres-
sve campaign that their election be
assured.
The Kentucky Farm Bureau en-
dorses unqualihedly the law creating
the new County Boards of Education
and will intellectually give Its aid to
any county asking for assistance In
advising the people Of the great op-
portunity It offers, for happier homes,
for more prosperity, for the greater
service and for bigger living. The
lives Of people can not be greater than
their ability to live and their ability
Ito 1--we is measured by their knowledge

born into the world to render service,

GREAT PIECE OF WORK

The Hon. ]. N. Camden was visited
in his country home near Versailles by
your staff correspondent this summer
to secure his viewpoint Of the new
school laws. That he Is heartily In
favor Of them lis shown by his state
ment which follows;
/ know the rural school because l
live In the country and see It at work
during the whole school year, and l
know It needs improvement.
l feel that the two political parties
In Kentucky did great and fine piece
Of work when they combined forces
and passed group of new and thor
oughly up-to-date school laws. Among
those laws passed none will be more
far reaching In its results than the
one creating Board Of Education for
each county, composed Of five men,
bers, who will have the power Of BE-
lectlng county superintendent and
thus take the Office out of county
politics.
Next November the public will nat
urally be very much interested In the
national candidates and the national
issues, but the matter Of good schools
and strong teachers should not be for
gotten for single moment. Good
schools In the Twentieth Century are
vitality important to each and every
county In the Commonwealth. The
voter should not forget that the finest
and best National Government In the
world will not educate the boys and
girls out In the country. So 1t is up to
the voters In Kentucky to see to 1t that
progressive County Boards Of Educa.
tion are elected next November.

One point should not be forgotten
when candidates for places on this
board are being voted for and that is
that they must not be pledged to any
special person for the office Of County
Superintendent. The voter should help
elect strong men on the board and
leave them absolutely free to select O
county superintendent who will make
good. In other words, the voter should
think of the boys and girls In his coun
