which are giving splendid service. A
few Of the rural districts in Kentucky
have done the same thing for their
children, but many counties have been
backward in giving the country child
a real opportunity for Il first-class ed
ucatiOn because Of laws which have
permitted the schools to be pulled into
local politics.
1T is indeed fortunate that both of
the political parties in Kentucky at
the last session of the Legislature
laid aside all party feeling, got to-
getlser and passed group of strong
school laws that will remake the rural
schools. These new school laws will
practically take the County Boards of
Education and the County Superin-
tendent out of politics and keep them
out of politics if the voters will think
of the children when they go to the
polls in November.
every right thinking man and
woman should vote for strong men for
the new County Boards of Education.
These right thinking people should
also urge others to do likewise that
every small school shall be developed
to serve the children, and in serving
the children make the State what it
should be in the future"

DON'T sKIMP ON SCHOOLS

Every magazine and newspaper in
the land is printing editorials con-
corning the schools of the nation.
The Youths Companion has the fol-
lowing to say concerning the schools
in America:
"The schools of America were
founded and maintained by sacrifice !;
only so can they be preserved. The
teacher must be convinced Of the
value and dignity of his service that
he will not lightly abandon it for
some occupation that offers more ease
or excitement or money. And on the
other hand the public must stop being
niggardly. 1t must tax itself more
heavily for schools than it has been
in the habit of doing, and it must pay
salaries that do not degrade the
teacher in the eye of the community.
Wherever else a county must SlIimp,
let it not skimp on its schools"

Tribute Of Respect.

On Friday afternoon, Sept. 10,
1920 Mr.. Horace K. Alexander,
passed away at his home on Co.
lumbia avenue. His last illness
though long and painful was
patiently endured. He often
spoke of how good it was to be
at home where he could have
the tender ministrations of his
faithful wife and devoted daugh-
tiers. A host of good friends,
too, sought to alleviate his suff-
erings..
He was one of ten children the
sons of Mr.. and Mrs. F. w.
Alexander. His father came to
this state when quite a boy from
Culpepper county Virginia. He
was born, lived and died in Cum
berland county. He was sixty
five years of age and is survived
by his wife, who was Miss Cora
Williams, by his two daughters,
Martha King and Mary Preston,
and by one sister, Mrs. Godfrey
Hunter, of Louisville, and one
brother, Chas. W. Alexander of
Burksville.
Bro. Alexander was a courte-
GUS gentleman, thoughtful al
ways of others, with high res
pect, for womanhood and a good
kind word for everybody. He
was a man of great energy. gift
ed with a quick bright mind and
a fine constitution.

BIG men ENDORSE new SCHOOL LAW
Democratic Senator and Republican Leader In Accord
On Welfare of Children

Senator j. c. W. Beckman was seen
some time ago by your staff repre-
sentative who asked the Senator for
his views upon the new County School
Administration Law. The Senator's
very hopeful statement is given in full
below:
while have not had a chance to
read the entire school law passed by
the last session Of the Legislature, I
have been informed of its general pro-
visions and am very hopeful that it
will accomplish great good for our
county schools and enable them to
make greater progress than ever.
"It is hardly necessary for me to
say how deeply interested l am III
the school work in our State, for dur
ing the time 1 was a member of the
Legislature, and Governor, 1 always
gave especial consideration TO the
progress and development of our
school system. 1t is a great work.
The rural schools have not, Of course,
had the advantages Of the city schools,
and 1 earnestly hope that the new
system adopted under this law may
prove satisfactory and successful in
every way.
81 understand that under the new
law County Boards Of Education are
to be elected in the state on November
2nd, and 1 trust that the people of
every county will realize the great i'm
pOrtance of this election and see to ii
that the best persons possible to Sc
cure for that work shall be elected.
THE success Of the law viii depend
to a very considerable extent upon
the character and intelligence of those
who make up these county boards.
There is no more important work
in our State than the Improvement
and development Of our schools, and
especially the rural schools. 1 was
for three years a teacher in the COM
mon schools in this State. and l have
