STUDENTS CONDEMN
SALE OF QUESTIONS
Strong Resolutions Adopted By
Student Body of Eastern
Trials On Tuesday

Return of County Attorney ].
P. Chenault and Deputy Sheriff
Franklin Deatherage from Mt.
Vernon empty-handed after their
hunt for Irvine Bullock, alleged
head of the school teachers eX-
animation papers dispensary, and
resolutions adopted by the stu
dents of Eastern Normal were
the outstanding features of this
school scandal" which haa shock
ed educational circles all over the
state.
A rumor spread over Richmond
Saturday that Bullock had been
seen here late Friday at the very
time the local officials were hunt
ing for him in Rockcastle. They
say that the Rockcastle officials
do not believe that he will sur
render but that fearing a peniten-
tiary term has skipped the coun-
try"
Examining trial of the students
accused of participation in the at
fair will be held before County
Nudge John d. Goodloe, here
Tuesday. 1t is said to be prob"
bic that other students, whose
names have not been connected
with the sale of questions, will be
summoned as witnesses to tell
what they know, if anything.
One student is said to have shown
officials where copies of the ques-
tions were hid in a field about
mile from town "for safe keep
ing and future reference 1t
appears, officials say, that the
students realized the gravity of |
their offense.
The resolutions adopted by the
student body of Eastern read as
follows:
The students Of the four classes
IN the Eastern Normal School
namely: Senior, Junior, Interme-
diate and Elementary, appointed
a committeeman and these four
selected fifth man to constitute
a committee to prepare suitable
resolutions setting forth the feel
ing and opinions of the student
body of Eastern Normal School
in regard to the purchase and
sale of questions for the teachers
examination. Below, we give a
copy of those resolutions:
Whereas, it has come to the no.
tive of the officials of the Eastern
Kentucky State Normal School
and Teachers College that the
honor, good name and lofty prin-
ciples of the students of this in
stitution are jeopardized by a few
students who would buy or sell
examination questions, and,
Whereas, the education Of Ken
tucky's childhood; the honor, re-
5pect and qualifications of her |
teachers; and the great and noble
profession Of teaching are in dan
ger OF being degraded and dis
graced, we, the students of this |
institution, wish to go on record |
those guilty of this !
We submit the following reso-
lutions: !
lst-That the students, whose
ideals are so high as not to allow
a thing like this to go unnoticed |
when it became evident to them !;
that fraud was about to be per-
petrated, be commended by this !
student body. This was not an act !
of telling tales, but a duty to the !;
school, to the state and to society. |!
Also, that President Coates and
Prof. Edwards be commended for
their prompt and ready action be-
fore the matter became morel
complicated and embarrassing. }
2nd-That the student body use
every honorable means to estab- !,
lish the guilt of each and every
enc having any completely there :
in, and that this matter be traced
to its source, even though it has
led us beyond the institu-
ton; and that any person, Or
persons, found guilty in the said
fraud, should be forthwith expeil-
ed from the privileges of the in
stitution and prosecuted to the !
extent of the law, in order that
the honor of the institution may
remain untarnished and undim-
med.
3rd-Be it further resolved, !
that these resolutions be sent to !
the press of the state for publ
cation. (Signed)
