Parties Back Movement.

Both political parties in Kentucky
have proposed through a plank in
their platforms to take the Office Of
State Superintendent out of politics
and to place 1t upon professional
basis and to make 1t possible for a
Superintendent to. succeed himself.
The administration Of our schools
ought not to be political issue. The
rights of our children do not admit
of any division of opinion. Demo
Gratis and Republ, a..s alike believe
that the Kentucky child should be given
u school system worthy of that child.
The two political parties do not diff
fer in their attitude toward schools
any more than tiley differ in their at
titude toward the Ten Command
ments. The adoption of the proposed
Constitutional Amendment will unite
the two parties in practice even az
they are now united in principle in
their support of schools. The adop-
ton of the amendment will give the
Legislature the power to fix the tern
of the superintendent; will give the
Legislature the power to prescribe
the manner of his election; will give
the Legislature the power to place the
Office upon a professional rather than
on political basis. The State Super
intendent is the only school admins
traitor in Kentucky that is now po-
litically elected. The President Of
the University is appointed BY com.
petent board because of professional
fitness alone. The Presidents of the
two Normal Schools are appointed in
the same way. The superintendent
of our city schools are appointed by
boards because Of demonstrated fit
ness not because Of political aftilia-
tlon. County superintendents are ap
pointed again in the same way.

woman in Kentucky should read 1t
most carefully and then act definitely
when voting on the two amendments
to the Constitution at the November
election:
Education in Kentucky in the past
has suffered more from lack of a
definite policy and continued pro-
gram than from any other single
cause Every four years administra-
ton of our schools is changed. Under
the law no State Superintendent can
succeed himself. Our school laws are
a sort Of legislative crazy quilt. Each
succeeding Superintendent adds a
patch or two that may or may not
harmonize with the whole. No busi-
ness can succeed If its policies are
changed every four years. The ad-
ministration of schools is the States
biggest business. In no department of
government is a permanent program
more necessary than in the admins
tration of schools. Kentucky will not
have better schools until she has bet
ter administration of her schools.
Kentucky will not have better admin
istraton of her schools so long as she
has politically elected Superintendents
serving only four years.

Heavy Milk Producers
Need Plenty Of Water

The Importance of supplying dairy
cows with an abundant supply Of
clean, cool water during the hot
summer months is brought out by
experiments which show that the
amount of water required is in di-
rect proportion to the amount Of
milk produced, according to spe
cialists in the dairy department of
the College of Agriculture. During
the summer cows will require an
amount of water equal to about
three times the amount of milk pro-
duced. In one case COW giving 27
pounds of milk drank II pounds of
water each day. The same COW drank
but 10 pounds daily when giving no
milk. A COW producing 100 pounds
of milk each day drank more than
$50 pounds of water. Eighty seven
per cent Of the milk produced by a
COW. and nearly three fourths of her
body is water, the specialists say.
The amount of water required by
her is determined by the amount Of
milk she is yielding, the kind of
feed she is receiving and weather
conditions.

the popular conception that flashes
into the mind is that Of a painter,

conception does not get at the very
heart Of this matter. A real artist
is one who is able to give impressive
expression to the deepest emotions
Of the heart, the noblest convictions
Of the mind and the most glorious
experiences of the soul. The height
of the artists attainment is guarded
by his ability to do this regardless

Viewed in this light, all other
artists are outclassed by the ora
tors and editors. Which of these
Two classes is sititIed to the throne,

Home Made Repenant
Keeps Flies Off Cows

Spraying cows with q simple,
home lmade fly repellant is being
used successfully by many Kentucky
datrymen to protct their animals
from attacks of these pests during
the summer, according to J. J.
Hooper, head of the dairy depart
ment of the College of Agriculture.
Such a treatment not only gives re-
l;cf to cows, but also prevents the
switching Of tails which causes a
large amount of bacterial contami-
nation to enter the milk pail. A
homemade remedy which has been
used successfully on the college farm
and one which is being adopted by
many dairymen in the state is com
posed Of two gallons of crude pc
troleum, such as is used for spray
ing hogs for lice, one gallon of crude

SayviIle.-Early one morning fire
alarm was turned in here and all the

and rushed to the firehouse. They

and the apparatus missing. A search

country, while the telephone wires
were kept busy notifying surrounding
towns to be on the watch for the bold
est gang of bandits to appear on the
island.
AS morning came on the searching
parties returned without a clue, and
started for the firehouse to decide on
a campaign. AS they neared the house,
some one noticed the door was closed.
Inside, the engine stood In its place,
the hose neatly rolled. An unidentified
man had been driving a truck near
West Sayville, when it caught fire. He
ran the two miles to the frehOuse,
but no one was about. He found the
door unlocked, appropriated the appa-
ratus, drove to his truck and extin-
guished the flames. He then took the
engine home and shut the door, after
which he went his way. The firsmen
are satisfied with the explanation. but
would like to know that mans name.

games. Varsity men, however, are
still under the ban.

Of last year has been made. That is,
that instead of having the teams di-

teams will compete in one section, and
percentage record of wins and los
ses will be kept.
At the end of the series, the two
highest teams on the percentage list
will play three-game series, the win

WESTERN SCHOOLS

Supremacy of Idaho in western de-
bate is shown in her record for the
last 20 years which has been compiled
by Debate Coach C. w. Chenoweth.
In this period of time, the univer-
sity met IL schools in So contests and
came out with a recorder 45l VIC
tories and "a defeats. In 16 meets
with w. S. c., Idaho has been victor
IL times. O.. A. c. has never defeated
Idaho.
Only two schools have got better
than $3.50 break against wearers of
the ''I'' pin and peculiarly enough, one
OF them the University of Oregon, the
school which has consistently defeated
or tied Idaho football teams. The
other school with q balance in its
favor is the University of British Co.
lumbia which has two victories to one
defeat.
Last year Idaho won first place in
the northwest oratorical contest win
ming from Washington and Oregon.
Prior to 1919, debate was directed
by Dean e. M. Hume and since then
has been under the supervision of the
English department.

BASKETBALL SEASON BRIGHT
Yandals Look For Heavy Schedule
This Year; Forwards Plentiful q

With a wealth of material available,
Coach Macmillan has started varsity
basketball practice. Intermittent work
outs and practices were held during
the past two weeks but concerted
work has just been ushered in. Loss
of Squinty Hunter, Less Moe and Bill
Carder apparently does not dampen
the hopes at Idaho, although the work
of the trio will be sadly missed at all
times during the season.
Practice has not yet progressed
sufficiently so that a complete check
can be made of material of the right
calibre. Macmillan, however, has his
faithfuls fro mthe last years squad
but the holes for the most part will
have to be plugged with men who step
into varsity suits from last years
frosh outfit
Rich (Bullet) Fox of Moscow will
captain the destinies of this years
varsity. Practice has not yet pro-
crossed to such a position that a spec
ulation can be made regarding sur
plus strength or weakness in any de-
partment of the quintet. 1t is be-
lieved generally that Idaho will have
an oversupply of forwards.
The seasons schedule will be out
lined at conference meeting to be
held in the course of the next two
weeks. In the meantime Idaho will
plug away at consistent stride and
endeavor to secure several preseason
games with athletic club teams in
northern Idaho and eastern Washing
ton. A few games will give the dope
sters a chance to sound out as to
Idaho's chances for the conference
championship, lost last year by one
game.
