Agriculture have just completed a
term of service in a "practice house"
where, according to Miss Mariel Hopkins, head of the Home Economics
department, they qualified as economical and efficient housekeepers. They
are Mary Elizabeth Atkins, Louisville; Mary Lucille Dobbins, Lexington; Daylc Casncr, Providence; Mary
Lee Taylor, Owensboro, and Virginia
Newman, Lexington.
To give girls actual housekeeping
training under expert supervision the
college leased a private residence on
South Limestone street. There five
girls at a time spend eight weeks or
half a semester. They arc so grouped
because five represents the size of the
average Amrican family.
In this house the girls do all the
work, including the cooking, baking
and other preparation of the food,
and cleaning, laundering and other
household tasks. Exclusive of rent,
which is paid by the college, the five
just leaving the house lived at a cost
of $1 a day each, which paid for their
food, for heating the house, and for
light, water, telephone and incidental
expenses. The average cost of food
averaged 50 cents a pay per girl for

In the Hall of Fame there is a vacant niche. In England there is an
unkempt grave; both belong to Benedict Arnold. Ho sold out.
If this were a comparison it would be ridiculous. No one will ever be
denied n niche in the Hnll of Fame or lie in an untended grave because ho
sold his student ticket; but you can say of him as of Arnold he sold out.
There was onco a man called Judas Iscariot. Ho was a friend and dis
ciple of Christ; he betrayed a friend for thirty pieces of silver. Ho sold out.
Of course one will never bo called a Judas or will go down in history
as the falsest of friends, but after all, isn't it just as damning to say "he
sold out" 7
Benedict Arnold valued his honor at 10,000 guineas and Judas his at
about 30. How much is yours worth to you? After all it is your ticket
and your honor. You have no one to answer to but yourself.
Nelson said, "England expects every man to do his duty." Ars you as
a Kentuckian doing your duty? Arc you upholding the traditions of the
state? Do you hold honor above all? Is it playing the game to sell your
ticket? You have no one but yourself to answer to.
But in years to come, shall you be able to say, "I kept the faith; I ful
filled the trust"? You will have only yourself to answer to. How will
you answer?

Central Kentucky Saturday afternoon
at the Lafayette hotel, Kentucky's
system of taxation since 1917 has
brought a decrease in manufacturing,
a decrease in revenue, a decrease in
the number of employed and a population which has not increased in proportion with that of other states.
Professor Leland said that in the
belief that a subsidizing plan of taxation would bring more industrial
concerns into Kentucky, increase the
population and would afford more
property for taxation. And if Kentucky cannot offer cheaper labor, better transportation in addition to lower taxes for manufacturing interests,
she will not get them.
In urging a reform of the present
system, Professor Leland stated that
the present system of subsidizing
manufacturing is unjust and expensive to the local governments which
lose while the state treasury gains.
In discussing taxation of mining
property, he said that there should
be no discrimination in taxing prop
erty due to the fact that a higher
rate would be unjust and a lower
rate would promote selfish utilization
rather than conservation and would
enlarge profits of individuals rather
than benefit the state. He favored
the ad valorem system of taxing min
ing property above several other

circular sent out by that oflice Friday,

virtually all such schedules have beon

The purpose of this quostionnairo
is, if possible, to arrive at a fair estimate of what is called "the teaching load," and to get from tho instructors themselves, their own estimate as to how many hours should
constitute this "load."
The movoment is not strictly a university movement, but rather a stop

how many hours work an Instructor
