running them.
Moreover Anderson is quoted as saying: "At that I
think the best writing being done in America is being
done by newspapermen."
This statement coming from an author, who has
attained such eminence in his profession is such that
will excite just pride in the heart of every newspaperman; and it is with a feeling of reverence that The
Kernel views the compliment paid to members of this
profession.
Certainly the student of journalism has something
to which to look forward and, it may well be added,
something to uphold. Steadily, journalism is progressing. It is seldom now that one hears comments made
as to a newspaper's illiteracy. Indeed, newspapers are
rapidly coming to be regarded as authorities on good
English. Only trained men are accepted for positions.
And in the future even better training will be required
of those who apply for positions.
The Kernel feels that Sherwood Anderson has voiced
a not generally recognized truth. It lakes pride in noting
that much maligned realist has found refuge in a newspaper office and trusts that the somewhat pungent odor
of printers' ink will cause him to become duly enamored
of his newly chosen profession.

ARMISTICE DAY
Nine years ago this morning in a railway coach in
a desolate and wild stretch of forest "somewhere near
the Hindenburg Line" was signed the Armistice. At
11 o'clock the guns ceased firing and the world's greatest and bloodiest war came to a close.
We celebrate this day, as we did November 11, 1918,
as a day of thanksgiving and rejoicing in thankfulness
that the needless and wasteful war was over and the
needless sacrifice of lives to the great god "Greed" had
ceased rejoicing that our boys could return to their
families and homes and, above all, that American ideals,
backed by American courage, had triumphed.
But in our day of rejoicing and celebration, we
must not forget those ideals and visions that our boys
fought for "over there," because we are prone to forget as time passes by; we must not forget those for
whom the war is not yet over the boys, wasted and
battle-torin our many hospitals in our broad-lan- d;
and, above all, we must not forget that we should pledge
ourselves to those ideals ideals that will insure lasting
peace for all time to come.
Therefore, we, as students of government, of arts,
of sciences, of all that stands for country and world
progression the very foundations of civilization, should
pledge ourselves anew toward these ideals a world and
lasting peace and the advancement of civilization to its
highest development. It is therefore fitting that on this
with
day we do pledge ourselves to stand
veterans who laid down their guns nine
our World-Wa- r
of the
years ago this morning, for the
peace they fought to win.

NATIONS WE MAY BE NEGLECTING
The ancient Greeks gave us our philosophy; did a
great deal to mould our thought. The ancient Romans
thought out our laws for us, and gave us lessons in the
conduct of an empire, which have proved invaluable.
The greatest men in the scholarly sphere as well as
in more practical lines of work had to know the customs
of the Greeks and Romans thoroughly in order to study
their contributions to mankind properly. So they
learned the Greek and Roman languages.
Dr. Woodhead, in his recent article in the "Daily"
pointed out very forcibly the reasons why these languages are anything but "dead." If students today refcise
to learn these two languages, they cannot avoid studying books which are either translated from these old
languages or adapted from works of Greek and Roman
times. Their contempt if they have any, for these languages, is rather amusing.
We are inclined to think that one great reason why
more students do not take up classical languages more,
is because students are lazy. The scholar who would
know them properly must pay great attention to detail,
must learn much from memory. He cannot rely on a
general knowledge similar to that which often const'.
tutes a background to our modern sciences.
Then, too, a student of classical languages must
preserve foryears before he begins to discover the true
interest that the classical languages hold. Grammar and
syntax must be mastered, translation must come natural and easy. Vocabulary must not depend on the
lexicon.
The ultimate result of a faithful study of Greek and

Latin means an introduction to the life and thought of
two great nations who equalled in thought and culture,
the most advanced nations of the world today. Indeed.
they have much to teach us concerning the living of a
its own sake,
happy life; the enjoyment of existence-fo- r
and not for the sake of money or fame.

MONEY FOR SCHOOLS
The whole question of education in Kentucky is
raised again by the publication of Bulletin 13 of the
United States Bureau of Education showing the increase
in each state of money spent for public schools from
1910 to 1924. According to the Bureau of Education's
figures, Kentucky increased her expenditures from five
million to seventeen million dollars or more than two
hundred per cent.
At first glance it seems that Kentucky has made a
in the
-- remarkable increase in educational appropriations

tered when the report is more carefully studied, for it
h
is soon perceived
that Kentucky ranks
among the states in increase of total expenditures in
1924 over 1910.
North Carolina has most increased her expenditures
for education. In appropriating $30,980,022 for public
education in 1924 the "Turpentine State" increased her
education expenditures 919 per cent over those of 1910.
Moreover, there were five other states which increased
their annual expenditures more than five hundred per

bhocks by a comparison of the table published by the
Bureau of Education with the United States government

ranked
11(24. In 1920 North Carolina was fourteenth in population and she appropriated thirty millions as contrasted
with Kentucky's seventeen for education in 1924.
One of the greatest contrasts, however, is furnished
in the case of Iowa and Kentucky. The two states are
practically equal in population, Iowa lacking some few
thousands of Kentucky's population. And yet in 1924
our western sister spent almost three times as much on
education. Colorado with little more than a third of
Kentucky's population, spent a third more on education
than Kentucky. On the other hand, California with
more people spent seven times as much in educating them.
Such is the situation which confronts Kentucky educators. And believing that these figures speak louder
than could any news article or editorial, The Kernel is
submitting these facts to the citizens of our Commonwealth for their consideration.
