Aunt Matilda, a typical old-time negro, is cook in a suburban home One evening there was a small din ner, and afterward Aunt Matilda was to have the evening out But the guests arrived quite late, explaining. amid natural excitement, how the trolley car which had brought them had struck and killed a woman few blocks away
 The cook much discopposed by the delay, had already arrayed her ample form in her best dress, intending to leave the house as soon as dinner should be served.
 Later, however, she was found sit ting in the kitchen, her frame rigid and an expression of stony calm on her sable face
 "Why, how is this, Aunty?" asked her mistress. Are you not going out?"

ELECT STRON(,
COUNTY BOARD
Thinking and Patriotic People
In Each County Are
Urged To Act
Problem of the Rural School VIII Be
Well on it's Way Toward Solution
When Interest in School Matters is
Manifest.

The editor realizes the crisis in edu-
cational matters which Kentucky and
the whole country is facing, so he has
been giving the readers Of this paper
a series Of articles. statements and
cartoons to help put Kentucky On the
educational map. The reader recalls,
of course, that the last legislature
passed some strong new school laws !;
but with the Multiplicity of new laws
On the statute books, he or she is
quite apt to have a rather hay idea
OF the law creating the new County
Boards Of Education TO be elected
| next November. AS the act creating
| these County Board Of Education is
/ too. long to be printed in full, the
| editor is giving an outline of it below.
| The new County Board of Educa-
| ton is to be composed of five mem
| berS elected from The county at large
The candidates foT this Office are Sc
cured by fifty voters signing peli-
! ton to have each name placed on the
ballot. ANY nuG.ber of candidate
may be placed on this separate ballot
which shall carry no party emblem
or device. save the words "Schoa,
Ticket The five candidates receiy
ing the largest number of votes shall
become members Of the County Board
of Education.
This County Board of Education So
lects county superintendent o.
schools and decides upon the SALARY
which can not, under The law, be less
than S1.2GG a year. The board vii
also appoint in each school district 9
trustee who shall look after the Schco'
property; bur shall have no voice in
the County Board. II
This same County Board of Educa 4
ton shall fix the rate Of taxation foI
school purposes i'll the county: bu,
before doing so shall, with the ho}p
of the cOunty superintendent. make
an itemized and detailed budget 81
all school expenses
This act, also, provides that the
County Board of Education shall an-
point at least one attendance officer
whose duties shall be TO compel the
regular attendance of all pupil chill
dren at school as provided by law.
1t is needless for the editor to say
in conclusion that this new law Will
do much toward taking the county
schools out Of politics. If the thinking
and patriotic people Of the whole |
country will interest themselves in the !
selection and election Of a strong |
County Board Of Education, the prob !
lem Of the rural school in the county |
will be we'll on it's way toward solu-
ton. The fact that the editor is Civ |
ing this space to a discussion of the |
school problem when newsprint is |
both scarce and expensive and the |
added fact that prominent men are |
writing strong statements for the |
press urging the people to get be- |
hind their schools, means that we |
must make our rural schools better if !
we are to have a contented popula-
ton in the country, and thus strength
en- the nation.

LACK OF teachers
SERIOUS PROBLEM
Solution At Moment Is Seiec-
ton OF County Boards
of Education
Every Real, Fine, True, Red-sIooded
Man and Woman in Kentucky Urged
TO Get susy at Once end Interest
Themselves in School Matters.

Every county in Kentucky was short
Of rural teachers last year. Every
county in Kentucky will he short
teaches a"ain this season. This is a
serious proposition especially as the
number 0f men and women passing
tie examinations lately held for teach
er's primary certificates was quite
small. OF course, the new minimum
salary Of $1,000 per month for rural
teachers will help the situation in the
future; bur the best possible solution
Of the problem right at this moment is
the selection and election Of a strong
County Board OF Education at the
November election.
The reader should not think Of this
problem as Ii strictly Kentucky affair
for il is nation wide and extremely
serious. Dr. p. P. Claxton, Commits
sioner Of Education OF the United
States, recently asserted before the
National Citizens Conference at
Washington, q. c.:
The new conditions require that
the schools shall be more efficient and
more effective than they have been
in the past and We are faced with the
danger that they may not be as ef-
fective as in the past. We are con-
fronted with a great shortage OK
teachers. and there seems to be little
chance OF immediate relief. Accord
ing TO the most careful estimates that
can be secured, between three hun
bred and four hundred thousand chill
dren were deprived OF schooling this
past year because of school closed as
the result of shortage.
Even more serious is the rapidly
growing number of sub-standard
teachers. More than half the teach
ers of the nation-3j0,00 0-are not
prepared on any reasonable basis for
the work of teaching. a reasonable
basis being understood to mean the
minimum standard that progressive
communities have long insisted upon
two years of professional training
beyond the four-year high-schOol
course.
"a conservative figure for the num-
Der of new teachers that will be re-
CURED this fall is 10000. 1t is more
likely TO be 10000, and 1t may reach
10000 The graduates of normal
schools this year viii be % per cent
fewer than in 1916; they will total
about 10000 If we add TO these the
largest possible number we can con-
ceive of from other teacher-training
instructions, we shall have ut the out
side 10000 prepared teachers to fill
the vacancies, or deficit Of at least
10000"
Good County Boards of Education
have always been needed in each and
every county in the state; but they
are today a vital and absolute neoes-
sity for the welfare of the county, the
state and the nation. Every real.
fine, true, red-blooded man and woman
in Kentucky should get busy at once
and see to 1t that the new Boards of
Education are composed of citizens
who will do big and constructive work
for the boys and girls on the farms
