LACK OF FUNDS MAY CLOSE
DOWN OUR SCHOOLS

Owing to the fact that the Court
OF Appeals has ruled that the tax Of
S1.25 is unconstitutional, the funds
available for running the city schools
will not stretch over the nine month
term and the question as to how the
children may receive the benefit of
school for the full nine months is
urgent and serious.
1t is really not so much question
In regard to the teachers but the
children themselves.
1t seems to us that as in other
cities when the same situation has
arisen. the parents should contrib
ute sum to be set by the Board Of
Education TO be paid In advance
so that the schools may be continued
Should others who have the interest
of the children at heart care to con-
tribute 10 the keeping open of the
schools. they should be given an OPP
portunity TO do so.
1t Is unfortunate, but il is not the
fault OF the Board, past or present
and the people should be glad to
come to their assistance in keeping
the schools going.
Not only the High School Dep
artment, but the grades should be
kept going, as these youngsters are
at the foundation stage WIN a set
hack will certainly affect their whole
future scholastic career.
We do not believe the citizens.
parents and others will permit the
closing of the schools for the sake Of
"A LITTLE money.
Money is made to be used and it
could not be used for am noblcr
purpose than the education of the
children.
Let us all pull together, as citi-
zens of town that is proud of its
schools and il will he easy to keep
them open.
Providence helps those who help
themselves.

He seemed so positive that Tan

school teachers according to state
ments Of superintendent of Public
instruction COlvin, made at Frank
fort in review of the school situa-
ton in Kentucky The state was re-
ported to be short $3.50 teachers in
1919, he said. The present surplus
is placed at 200.
The increase in the number OF
teachers available for Kentucky
schools is due. according to the sup
to the fact that salaries
were increased last year almost 100
per cent. He said that prior to 1920
many teachers were reported to be
receiving not more than $35 a
month while county superintendent
received as Iow as $50 a month, max
ing it impossible to obtain qualified
men and women for the positions.
More than 1000 schools were re-
ported to be idle during 1919, he
said, while 1000 were taught only
part of the time and 1000 taught
by emergency teachers. This he
said. has been corrected.
