SUIT MAY DECIDE
NORMAL TANGLE
School Site Body Is Unable
to Determine Meaning
of "Establish." . ,
Frankfort, Ky.; Aug; 7. A" friendly
milt probably will be Instituted to de
termine how far the powers and. du
ties of the Normal School. Commission
extend in the establishment of the two
new schools,' Judge W. T. Fowler.. law
partner of Judge Ed C. O'Rf-ar, chair
man of the commission, said tonight. -
-The question was presented to Judge
O'Hcnr following a statement given put
by W. S. Wallen of Prestonsburg, sec
retary of the commission, in which he
wild that the new schools might not
be established until the mooted point
of "powers, and duties" of the com-
mlslnn was cleared upby the 18-4
session of the General 'Assembly.'' -
Both Judge O'Rear and Judge Pow-
ler said the suggested suit reflected no
dissension between the commission
and the State Board of Education.
Judge O'Rear said that the commis
sion "has no ambition to Infringe up
on the authority of the State Board Of
Education and no desire to take re
sponslblllty beyond the duties Imposed
upon It." i .'-..
Judge Fowler aald that It had not
been decided definitely to file a test
suit,. but that thla seemed the only -way
of clearing up tha situation.
The question la whether the word
"establish" In the law means the com
mission IS merely to select the sites
take title to whatever real estate is
given, accept the money contributed,
and then turn the property over to
the State Board of Education, or
whether the commission must - erect
buildings, equip them, employ faculty
and adopt a course of study' before
turning them over to the board. '
. - ' Dawson Givaa View,
- Attorney General Charlea L Dawson,
who Is now out of the city, said a few
Jays ago that In his opinion a fair
construction of the law would be that
the commission should locate the
schools - accept the property and' erect
the buildings, but that the employ
ment of a faculty, the adoption of a
course of study and such matters rath
er would fall under the head of man
agement, which la the function of the
State Board of Education. .
Nothing was given out as to the
probable time for the next meeting of
the commission. At a meeting neia
In Lexington last week fifteen ballots
were taken without any decision be
ing reached as to the loation of tne
new schools. -
Calloway Dobson and Henry Combs,
under Indlotment In Fayette circuit
