INCREASE SALARY OF
TEACHERS, URGES COlv|N
State School Board Says Per Capita
This Year VIII Be at Least
500 In Kentucky.

Frankfort Ky, Feb, 10. - Advising
careful study to the preparation Of the
annual budget Superintendent of Pub
lie instruction George Colvin today
sent communications to school super
int dents estimating that the state
per capita for the next year will not
be less than $50, the per capita for
this year. He insists that the teachers
salaries should be increased where
possible and that the attendance next
year should &c greatly in excess of
the present attendance. Beginning
with January, 1922, the superinten-
dents salary must be paid out of the
school fund and in making up the bud
get Superintendent Colvin advises the
to make provision for
it.
He also urges a stimulation fund
which will place county board of ed
ucation in a position to say to any dis
trict that it will aid them to extend
the term by matching every dollar
raised by the district for this purpose
with another dollar from the county
fund. If sufficient salary is paid the
attendance officer Superintendent Col
win is of the opinion that county
boards will be able to employ some
person who can act both as attend
ance officer and supervisor.
You will find it economy" he said
ito abolish so called emergency
schools as far as possible and to com
bine them with larger schools. In most
cases it is economy to provide trans
portation for the pupils in these dis
tricts rather than to pay the teachers
salary. Your budget should provide,
in every case, for an assistant secre-
tary to have charge of the Office

Ing Thursday.

Efforts are being made in all sec
lions of the country to form an Alum
nj Association for the University Of

dent, whether or not he is graduate
is eligible for membership. The
movement is fast assuming vast pro-
portions as all of the former students
who are not already members Of the
organization are showing a great deal
of interest in the matter and are
working hard and earnestly to make
the Alumni Association of the Uni
versity of Kentucky second to none
in the country.
Chairmen for each of the counties in
the state have been appointed and
they have been asked to form advis
DRY councils, whose duty it will be to
formulate plans TO" making every for
mer student a member of the associ
alton. Mr.. George II. Fitzgerald of
this city has been named the chair
man for Mason county, and he has
called meeting of all former stu

port of all former students in this
section. One of the aims of the associ-
alton is the giving of assistance to the
University in the securing Of good
athletic material among prospective
students, so that soon old state" can
again take her place among the lead
ers in athletic as well as in the arts
and sciences.

Ministers complain that clergymen are leaving the church 10 obtain bet ter or more paying positions. Re formers" complain that dances, dress. smoking and other matters display a lowering of morals.
 Certain it is that things are cocuntenanced today that were not tolerated yesterday. And incidentally it must be remembered that things were tolerated, yesterday that were frowned down upon years ago.
 When the hoop skirt came in long ago the older generation declared that 1t was immodest. That older genera tightly fitting dresses
 But to return to the present. More excuses are being made for getting joy out of life. no matter what in- huence such joy may posses than formerly. It is sure that.a winking at the extremes to which some have gone cannot continue indefinitely.
 Men are inclined-especially very young men-to dress and act as they see other men dress and act on the street and in public places.
 Young women are inclined to act and dress as they see other young women dress and act on the street and in public places.
 Yet, in their innermost hearts, would the young men of today pat tern their minds and thoughts after the minds and thoughts of those they see on the streets and in public places2 Would the young women try to initiate in conversation. dress and manners the young women they see on the streets and in public places?
 It is nothing against a young man nor a young woman that he or she is obliged to be upon the streets or in public places. often neither have other means of seeking pleasure. But are they to be the criterion by which all young people should govern their lives?
 With a spirit Of charity it would seem to be wise for young men and young women to realize that the best of everything is seldom the thing that Is most often beneath our eyes. Look a little higher than that which is most obvious.
