BY ALL MEANS
Bury The Hatchet"
AND IN AN UNMARKED GRAVE.
THAT IT MAY NEVER BE
REsuRREcTED.

Billy Miller's suggestion that the
recent Joint meeting Of the Stanford
Post American Legion with the local
Post might mark the "burying % the
Ratchet" between Lancaster and
Stanford. brings to mind a very silly
idea that exists chiefly In the minds
% the youthful football and baseball
player of the two cities. namely that
one % the towns at one time suffer-
ed a great wrong NJ the hands % the
other. thereby establishing n feud be-
tween the two towns. which u was
their solemn duty 20 uphold and
maintain. A. result % this silly
belief their games often wound up
In a fight, the visitors, In whichever
town they CHANGED 70 be. usually
coming out second best. and leaving
with the old fame again famed to
white heat in the youthful mind.
Now this old faneied wrong is pure
Is mythical. never occurred. and
there i every reason why the two
little cities, who are such close
neighbors. whose interests are so
Identical. whose people are practie-
ally one people. whose sons and
daughters have married ard inter-
married. whose citizens have migrat-
ed back and forth. should be the very
best Of friends.
We are very sorry to say that in
days agone this silly feeling has been
at times abetted by the older people.
those who should have known better.
and rs a result serious brawls among
the boys occurred.
This Is progressive age. We are
seeking to build up a greater and
better Kentucky. and this undertake
ing takes all that is best In all Of US.
so by all means let Us bury the
Ratchet" forever and anon. and live
as good and true neighbors should.
Let Us discourage this silly and un-
called for idea. that has no founda-
tion upon fact, and Is unworthy Of
even schoolboy notice.

PROF p. H. HOPKINS
Superintendent OF The
Lancaster Schools,
RESIGNS TO ACCEPT MORE
LUCRATIVE EMPLOYMENT.

II will not be gratifying news to
the patrons Of our splendid schools
to know that Prof. Hopkins. who has
been a leading factor in bringing our
school up to it, present high stan
dard. has severed his connection with
that institution, and leaves at once
20 assume new duties
In April Of this year the General
Educational Board Of New York,
whose activities are financed By the
Rockefeller Foundation Fund, upon
the recommendation Of Supt. Of Pub
lie Instruction George Colvin. tender
ed TO Prof Hopkins the position Of
State Supervisor Of Elementary and
Rural Schools for the Eastern Nor
NAL district Of Kentucky; this APP
pointment Prof. Hopkins declined.
and thought the matter closed. He
was reelected by the local school
board as superintendent Of Laneas-
ter schools for another year. How
ever. wholly Unexpectedly Prof. Hop
kins was again proffered the position
last week. and IN such alluring terms.
that he felt that he could not again
refuse 1t. and being released BY the
local beard, he accepted the offer and
will take up his new duties at once.
The salary Is. we understand. a very
lucrative one. and from a profession
nj standpoint. Prof. Hopkins is re-
ceiving a decidedly handsome promo
ton. and however reluctant we are
to lose him. we cannot but feel that
he is doing the proper thing. and Of
fer ou- sincere congratulations and
best wishes for success in his new
work.
Prof Hopkins has served four
years as Superintendent Of Laneas-
ter schools, 1916 to 1920. and the
high state Of efficiency TO which he
has brought the school is attested by
the splendid closing and graduating
exercises, which our people have
witnessed during the last week. and
also By the fact that Lancaster
schools are excelled by no schools Of
fifth class city in Kentucky. and its
virtue as an educational institution
is not even confined by the borders Of
the state.
Mrs. Hopkins, who was also q
member Of the faculty. will be sadly
missed rs one Of the most efficient
members Of our splendid corps Of
teachers.
Prof. Hopkins. aside from his edu-
cational duties, has during his stay
in Lancaster been a most useful and
progressive citizen, ever active in
any undertaking for the public veal.
and ever ready to give Of his time
and talent to further the community
welfare. Active in religious frater-
nal and social activities, he possesses
all Of the attributes which tend to
make en- exemplary and desirable
citizen, and we heartily commend
him to the people Of his new home,
wherever II may be.
The Office Of the Supervisor is in
the Capitol building at Frankfort.
However. those who have preceded
Prof. Hopkins in the position have
made their home in Lexington, and
Prof. Hopkins has not fully decided
as yet Just where he will take up his
abode; he assures US however that he
will visit Lancaster rs frequently as
possible, both socially and officially.
and we are sure a warm welcome
ever awaits him.

C. u. NOTES

Many questions affecting the fu-
ture growth OF Georgetown Unf-
versity will come up for considers
tion in connection with the golden
Jubilee of the school of law, when
distinguished alumni from all parts
Of the country will come to Wash
ington December As.
Chief among these are plans for
broadening the courses of the vari-
Gus professional schools, the estab-
lishment OF an adequate endowment
for the medical school and the ques-
tion of erecting a large downtown
dormitory for students who are suf-
fering from the crowded housing
conditions in Washington.
George E. Hamilton. dean. of the
law school, who has been connect
ed with Georgetown University for
forty-eight years. announces that
plans for the alumni celebration are
completed.
The exercises will open December
4. when the new law library, one of
the best equipped in the country.
will be formally opened. Oppor-
tunity will be taken then to perfect
the permanent organization of ali
nent secretaries. with Offices in
Washington, have been appointed
to assist in the welcome to old
grads.
A military mass in honor of
Georgetown alumni who gave their
lives in the world war will be hello
December 5 at the Dahlgren Chapel
at the college. This will be an atI-
spicious occasion. Alumni, wearing
will appear in the line of
march to the chapel. Col. James s.
of the law faculty,
will be in charge of arrangements,
and a salute of guns will be fired
In honor of the dead heroes.
In the afternoon President John B.
Creeden, S. j., of Georgetown Uni
Verstty. Dean Hamilton and other
members Of the law faculty will be
hosts at reception to the visiting
at the college.
The principal exercises will be
held Monday afternoon, December

! of laws. Addresses will be deliv-
cred by prominent alumni.

Under the leadership of the newly
elected president, B. B. Mulligan, of
Massachusetts,, the Gould Law Soci-
ETY., of the Georgetown University
School of Law is preparing for an
active year.
Organized in the fall of 1919, the
Gould Law Society is rapidly grow
ing in prominence and promises TO
be helpful factor in the success of
the student life at the law school.
Unlike many of the ORGANIZATIONS
which are bound to spring up in a
school as a result of the friendship
and association of its members, says
The Hoya, the Gould Law Society
has endeavored to so perfect its or
ganization that, like a corporation,
1t VIII have perpetual existence.
Until the present scholastic year
the aim OF the organization has been
the mutual assistance rendered by
its members in solving problems
and removing obstacles encountered
in their studies. Recently. how
ever, system of debates has been
lnaugurated by the society. 1t is
hoped by this means to arouse an
enthusiasm towards the series of
debates conducted annually at the
school that will far eclipse any
shown in former years.
The shakespearean concert which
was to have been given in Decem-
Der by the students of Georgetown
University has been postponed until
the middle of January owing to
the fact that the golden jubilee cell
ebration of the law school, Decem-
Der As, will interfere with plans.
Announcement is made that the
Merrick debate, one of the most inn
portant scholastic events at George
town College, will be held Sunday
evening, December IL. at Sis
o'clock, in CASTOR Hall. The de-
paters who will compete for the
Merrick prize will be b. Meredith
Reid, Joseph A MCGOWAN, Leo ].
Casey, editor of The Hoya, and Paul
Dewitt Page. Many friends of the
college have been invited to attend
the exercises.
Rev. P. Masterson. S. J., who was
professor OF history of the present
Junior and senior classes, was a Wis
itor at the college last week, when
he did some research work in the
archives. He took the opportunity
to renew many old friendships.
Clarence H. Churchman, of the
senior class of the law school, has
just returned from Iowa, where he
helped re-elect Senator Albert d.
Cummins. Mr.. Churchman Is one OF
the most prominent members of his
class and will be active during the
