years ut an inadequate salary witt
no thought as 10 his future. As q
result many Of our Superintendent
have aspired tc other state offices
A number have made the race dur.
ing their term, and few have been
elected to another office before the
expiration Of their term as head Of
our school system. II is needless to
point out the effect of such a divided
interest in a matter Of so much i'm.
portance as our Public Schools. Such
a condition makes a fearless, CON
structivc policy even during the short
term Of four years practically inn
possible.
.. With the present political meth.
cd Of securing a Superintendent. the
first qualification considered by those
who largely control nominations is
the ,ote-getting ability Of the can
didate.
Many good men have been practi-
cally ruled or of the ticket because
they did not reside in the right sec
ton of the State. or were too close
neighbor to another strong candidate.
As a result our schools have often
been under the control of politicians
instead Of educational leaders Of first
rank
3. The children of Kentucky de-
serve the best that can be obtained
in education. and the taxpayers de
serve 100 cents Of service for every
dollar they put into the schools of
the State.
To give this, the State Superin.
tendent should be a man of as fine
ability, thOro training, and broad ex-
perience as the President of our
State University or the Superintend.
ent of our largest City School Sys-
tenn. In seeking for such a man the
open market of the Nation should be
open. When the Board Of Trustees
IF the State University sought for
a worthy president, they looked this
country over and called DR.. McNey
rom Dakota. When the City Of !
Louisville was forced to seek Su-
oerintendent for her schools last
spring, there was never a thought of |
Uniting the Board to the city for
'andidate. The man for the place
vas finally located in New Jersey, in
'ited to come to Louisville, and given
assurance that the position would be
lis so long as he rendered the high
st type of service 10 the children of
he city Can we hope to secure and
etain such men as those to head
'ur State School System so long as
We continue to use the political road
o the office and the limited period
4 service?
II. What Methods of Securing the
State Superintendent Have Prov
en- Most Successful in
Other States?
I. The elective method is the
Method Of the past, when a large de-
rec Of professional training and ex-
erience were not essential.
Formerly, honesty in handling
money, and ordinary business ability
'ere the chief requirements for a
uccessful State Superintendent of
chools. Such was the case when
ur present Constitution was adopt
d. Today, however, such is not the
ase. The Superintendent must have
hose qualifications, but in addition
e must possess high degree Of
training, the thorough
ess and efficiency Of which the aver.
ge citizen is not able TO judge.

!. Where Did This Movement For
Amending the Constitution Along

Educational Lines Originate?
/. This amendment, and the ona
which will be discussed before YOU
later, are not party measures, or
for the personal advantage of any
group or individual. They first took
definite form in the meeting of the
Legislative Committee of the Ken
lucky Educational Association held
in Louisville, April, 1919. Soon after
the committee adopted them as part
of the Legislative program they were
approved by the Association at its
annual business session. They were
part of the Legislative program
backed by the X. f. A. during the
1920 session of the Legislature, and
were reported in their present form
to the Association last April, and ap.
proved without dissenting vote at
the largest business session ever held
by the teachers of the State.
2. Back of this movement on the
part Of the teachers has been years
of careful study on the part of the
educational leaders of the State who
were earnestly seeking for the cause
of kentucky's backwardness in edu-
cation. These men and women are
not breaking into new fields in what
they have proposed, but are follow
ing the best lines of educational
thought, and the most satisfac-
tory experience of other states in
the Union. So you may rest assured
that these amendments to our fun
damental law are no untried expert
ments, hastily or selfshly proposed
by partizans, or designing men seek.
ing personal advantage.
H. What are the Objections to the
Present Method of Securing
State Superintendent of
Schools?
]. continuous. constructive ed |
ucatiOnal policy is impossible in the
State with the present constitutional
Under the Constitution as it now
stands, the Superintendent must be
elected on party ticket at a regular
election, and is ineligible to succeed
himself. State Superintendents are

WHY SHOULD CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT NO. BE
ADOPTED

BY this article we will endeavor "a
show you that the best interests of
the children of Kentucky demand
that you vote YES on the amend
ment, TO strike from the Constitu.
ton Of the State all references to
the Superintendent Of Public Instru,
tion as an elective officer. This
amendment does not provide for a
method of securing the Superintend-
ent in the future but leaves that mat
ter to the wisdom of the Legislature,
guided by the experience of other
states, the judgment of the educa-
tional force Of Kentucky as express
ed thru their Association, and the re.
concentrations of the School Survey
Commission that has been making
careful study of school conditions
and needs turnout the Commonwealth
during the past year.
In order that may make perfect
ly clear the ground upon which those
stand who favor this amendment allow
me to present my argument under four
heads, the cornerstones, may say.
upon which all reasons for the pro.
posed change rest.

GOOD ADVICE.

Look at it from any Angle and it can Bet fail to be recognized that it was capital advice that was given to the en- pioyes of the Philadelphia Rapid Tran stt company this week when the presi- dent of the company in announcing that back pay to the amount of million dol lars would be paid the first of February.
 Last year the men sought an increase. Tho company maintained that it coul[ not meet it under the conditions and there was an agreement, under the ex- pectation of fare increase later on, whereby the payment was delayed until the money could be earned. It hasn't bean e2Yned and will not be before the aTs4 of May but arrangement has been made to advance 1t now.

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

With the announcement from Paris to the effect that French experts have dis covered a serum that will prevent the fsot-and-mouth disease there will be cause for elation among the owners and breeders of cattle and horses, even though it is impossible at the present time to manufacture it in such quantities az to inoculate all cattle against the Siague.
 The foot-and-mouth disease is one of The great animal plaques which has caused great losses throughout the Verid. This country has suffered much less from the ravages of this disease than others, but there have been three out breaks here within the past 20 years and t was only by the most vigorous meas tres and the closest cooperation of fed- efal and state authorities that 1t was eFadicated. During 1s14-1e the outbreak was extensive getting into 22 states and through it not only the livestock growers and owners but the entire country had chance to realize it's seriousness once t gets started.
 With the country free from the dis. ease there $ no eerta inty how long such
 
 protective measures we can claim nei. ther complete security nor immunity, al though provisions established in the re- strietion of animals and materials tha, might be contaminated are serving as ar excellent protection. The foreign press at tho present time is noting the preva lence of the disease and the fight agains is one that cannot be relaxed.
 Fer that reason. and the fact that f E disease that must always be chased by every country as an undesirable aliel Qoeuy, the discovery of the French ex eerts Is bound to be received with a higl GEFee of satisfaction and relief It bein, a disease that calls not for control bu eradication the serum for the prevention et the disease would appear to be the de sired means of dealing with 1t and ul timately mean wiping it out with tn proper amount of care and attention. 1 wth mark a decided advance in the treat Wsnt of animal diseases.
