banked with flowers.

Department of English at the University, presided and introduced Dr. Noe;

This movement is being fostered
because of the luck of room for students to study between classes. Tho
library is much too small to accommodate the students who seek refuge
there on rainy dayB as It only seats
approximately 125 persons. Thus many
wore forced to sit In cars or walk

and in that way waste much valuable

Prof. J. C. T. Noe, head of the department of Education was the principal
speaker at Chapel Tuesday morning,
taking the place of Mr. Jones of California, who was unable to All this appointment, as had been announced.
Professor Noe's address was an explanation of the two proposed educational
ammendments to the consttuton of
Kentucky.
Dr. McVey after conducting the devotional exercises Introduced Professor Noe. He began his remarks by
laying particular stress on the importance of these proposed amendments
by saying that in his opinion they are
the most important issues that Kentucky has voted on for many years.
Among other things Professor Noe
said that the business of education is
the greatest business of Kentucky or
of any other state, that Kentucky rates
with the highest In native ability but
that her educational system is in a
deplorable condition, consequently she
1? suffering from Ignorance 'which results in prejudice and her great natural resources are remaining undevelop-de- .
One of the proposed solutions, Professor Noe believes is to make Education a profession by giving the office
of Superintendent of Public Instruction to a professional educator, Under
the present law a man can only serve
in that office for four years and it
take3 four years to understand tho
office well enough to avoid blunders.
The present law removes the trained
and experienced man from the office
and puts an Inexperienced man in his
place. Again, under tho Constitution
the Superintendent must be elected at
tho samo time as the Governor and
nominated by a political party. At tho
party conventions this office Is usually
the last one mentioned and some man
is selected for geographical reasons
or to lend strengeth to tho ticket. Under the proposed amendment the office
of Superintendent of Public Instruction is to bo put into the hands of the
Legislature. They will create a nonpartisan Board of Education and will
designate the qualifications and modo
of election of tho superintendent and
ho .will hold office as long as he renders satisfactory service to tho state.
Tho second amendment Is proposed
for tho financial assistance of the poor
school districts of tho state. Under
the law the children of school ago are
counted and that number divided into
tho state fund. For tho wealthier districts thb Is well and good but In the
poor ones it is Impossible to have
enough funds under tho per capita distribution to conduct an effective school.
Tho amendment proposes to create a
bonus by releasing 10 per cent per
capita of the school fund to bo distributed according to tho needB of tho
districts.
Tho Professor closed this explanation
with a plea for bettor education in
Kentucky and for equal scholastic opportunities for every child.
