Excerpt from The Resources and Needs of Edmonson County, Kentucky It may be as well to state in the outset that the writer of this brief summary of the advantages and disadvantages of Edmonson County as a home and a place for the profitable investment of capital does not own an acre of the lands he attempts to describe. His only inter est in the material advancement and the development of the resources of his native county is that common to all her sons - a desire to see his birth-place take its position by the side of those counties whose mineral resources have already been developed. If we were seeking an influx of immigration, without regard to consequences, we might be induced to give only the bright side of the picture, and to deal mostly in glittering generalities; but while we invite the honest, energetic immigrant to come and make his home among us, this pamphlet will not only call the attention of capitalists and laborers to the many advantages which this county offers for pay ing investments and pleasant homes, but will also strive to point out the needs of our people in a concise manner.

Excerpt from Survey of the School Plants of Rural Warren County, Kentucky Kentucky, being an agricultural state, has assumed her share of this national industrial problem, and among other agencies for help, created the state normal schools, a large part of whose duty is to satisfy this rural need. They are to train teachers who will in their turn lead the boys and girls of the state to see that the properly administered farm is a paying proposition which will lead them to make their own communities attractive; to inspire them into worthy adventures near home; and thus lead to a development of the great hidden material and spiritual resources of'the state.
