Wherever people are thinking ' defi
nitely about the future they realize
that the. child Is the greatest problem
with' which the state has to deal be
cause It Is the state's greatest asset
This Is especially true In the rural dis
tricts, and both teachers and parents
are getting ready, tor the newer life
that promises to develop within the
next twenty-flve years or sooner.
Four miles out of Louisville on one
of the main turnpikes, where for years

THE SCHOOL, DISTRICT SI, JEFFEESOU
OOXJNTT.
the people had been thoroughly satis
fied with a poor scboolhouse and a
poorer playground, a new building has
gone up. This building was made pos
sible by the district levying a special
fifteen cent tax for two years and se
curing the help of the county board
of education. When the public began
to understand what was taking place
It rallied to the support of the new
school. This was made very plain
when the Southern Brick and Tile
company, which had a large plant in
the neighborhood, added an extra acre
of ground to the acre already secured
by the trustee for the district.
The moment one enters the beauti
ful brick building with Its soft green
roof that harmonizes with the sur
roundings it is evident that it is an
up to date school with a modern school
equipment, for a sanitary drinking
fountain is the first thing that catches
the eye. The building has two beau
tiful schoolrooms perfectly lighted and
equipped with modern single desks.
Two ample cloakrooms are immediate
ly in front of the classrooms and open
into the main hall, while at one end
of the building there is a cozy rest
room for teachers and pupils, with a
light, pleasant little library. Both of
the classrooms are arranged so that
they may be turned into one huge
room, while the teachers' platforms
can be joined and become a stage with
the library and rest room as dressing
rooms for the same. This simple
MS
DOMESTIC SCIENCE BOOH.
device makes it possible to use the
school for entertainments and'as a per
fect social center for the community.
Down! in the big, airy basement is
the modern heating plant, a gasoline
engine and tank that supplies the wa
ter for the building. In this same
basement there are . two big. rooms,
one of which Is equipped with twelve
work benches for the manual training
class. The other room of the base
ment is equipped to handle a class of
eight girls in "domestic science. " '
It might seem In looking over this
school, with its perfect equipment and
Its splendid grounds, its huge cistern
and its deep well, to furnish perfect
irinklng water for the children, as if
the cost would have been excessive.
Yet the whole equipment, Including
gasoline engine, domestic science out
fit, manual training benches and tools,
cost only $5,750. . - j -
There is one final point that should
be touched and touched upon definite
ly, and that Is the effect of this build
ing and equipment upon the two teach
ers. Last season when they 'realized
that this dream was to come true they
both went to a summer school, one
taking a summer course "in domestic
science, the other in manual training.

about the dreaded horse disease,
it is well that the people be inform

Two fifen Discuss the Present
Schoolbook Law.
BOTH AGREE IT IS UNJUST.
To Have the County Authorities Select
.the Children's Schoolbooks Often
Mean:, a Hardship For the Paents
and' Loss of Valuable Time to the
Pupil.
"Say, Bill, somebody told me tha
county Is to select the children's school
books for next year." ;
"Yep, that's what the fellers round
the courthouse say." It's a new law
again." .
"No; I reckon they've gone back to
the one we had a good while ago.
Well, all I can say is I'm mighty sorry.
"Why?, Don', you thin': our folks can
select good schoolbooks?"
"Course they can, but that ain't the
point I'm driving at. Look here, you're
leasin' a farm same as" I am, ain't
you?" '
"Yep."
"Well, suppose you buy your boy an
girl a set of books for school next fall,
an then 'bout the Christmas holidays
you go over into the Big Bull Skin
neighborhood just across the county
line."
"By George, I hadn't thought about
that side of the question !"
"Courae "you didn't, 'cause your kids
are just little fellers, an' they ain't
been to school long. But you wait un
til you have a whole raft of 'em, like
I've got, an' then you'll understand
what a big thing it can be. I remem
ber mighty well one time when I
moved from one county Into another.
The move wasn't more than five miles
either, an the new books I had to buy
Tor my four children cost me $9."
"That's mighty tough, an I don't
wonder you're klckin about it"
"If the cost of the books was all of
It It wouldn't be so bad. I've got a
heap bigger kick comln' than just the
cost of the books." -
"What Ls it?"
"What hurts me is that sometimes a
child'll lose a lot Of valuable time.
There's my oldest boy. He's goin on
sixteen, an' he's through the eighth
grade an ready for the high school.
He'd been through almost two years of
high school work If he hadn't lost time
changln' from one school to another."
The man was silent for a moment
before he continued sadly: "The boy's
big for liis age, an now he's go4n to
work because he feels he Is too big
an old to go through high school. The
changin' round means that my boy
won't take a high school education like
he planned to. Just the other day I
saw Jn a paper where the average pay
for the man who had only gone through
the eight grades was almost $400 less
than. that of the feller who had had a
high school course. If that's so my
boy'll stand to lose almost $8,000 in
hard money in the next twenty years
of his life. He'll lose enough through
the changes in his school to buy htm a
first clas farm."
The nun were silent again for a few
moments. At length one spoke up.
"Kinder strange how all of us fellers
talk an' plan how things ought to be
run at Washington he said. "We
talk of who should be president an' all
that. An we won't take th trocfcla to
try to straighten out a schoolbook law
in Kentucky that means money out of
our pockets every time we move an'
money out of our children's packets for
the rest of their natural lives."
"Say, let's all agree to watch the
schools Just a little bit, an let's get
hnsy with our next legislature an'- see

NO AGENTS
Come direct to us and save
agents' profits : : :
if us fellers that stjind between the
plow handles an feed folks can't have
things fixed to suit our pocketbooks
an' to make it bette for our children."
The New Schoolbook Law. .
A strong effort ls expected to be
made at the next .session of the general
assembly to amend the textbook law,
possibly restoring the system of state
selection The present law provides
that each county shall choose its own
textbooks through a commission com
posed of a member of the county
board, a member of the board of ex
aminers and a county si-liool principal.
The old contract will expire next year,
and as no selections have ever been
made by county commissions those in
favor of state se'e-tions are desirous
"of securing legislative action restor
ing It before the county commissions
have n chance to ?vt. Under the old
state system the county Judges, county
superintendents and county attorneys -voted
on the textliooks and a majority
ruled. Some form of legislation will
be considered by the Kentucky Kdu
cational association at its meeting in
Louisville. April S0V and probably a
draft of the measure favored by a ma
jority will be prepared for submission
to " the general assembly. Editorial.
