KENTUCKY CUTS ONE-MAN SCHOOLS STUDY OF STATE'S SYSTEM REVEALS
Frankfort -- Kentucky's little Red Schoolhouses, although not yet extinct, are dwindling steadily, a recent study of the state's public school system revealed.
"Almost 50 per cent of the existing one-teacher schools have [been?] replaced since 1920 [through?] substantial school [construction?] and modernization [programs?]," reports R. H. Jacobs, director of the school division of Minneapolis-Honeywell Regulator Company. His report was based on an analysis of a study by the U. S. Office of Education.
Although educators regard this as a significant index of statewide advancement, Jacobs pointed out that there are some 3,462 one-teacher schools remaining in the state that continue to be an important means of providing the rudiments of education.
Kentucky educators, however, apparently are keenly aware of the physical advantages of larger schools, Jacobs said. In a recent survey, a majority stated the "ideal elementary school" should contain 17 classrooms, and 79 per cent of those replying said they would specify individual room thermostats for control of heating and ventilating equipment.
Southern schools have a singular problem in providing correct classroom atmosphere, the Honeywell spokesman said, since cooling rather than heating, is necessary most of the year.
Educators everywhere are attaching new significance to healthful environment since a west coast school experiment showed that absences due to colds and other respiratory ailments had been cut 14 per cent by scientific control of temperature alone, he said.

YMCA YOUNG ADULT ACTIVITIES
The Beta Chi Chapter of Gradale Sorority presented its lawn fete on Friday night, August 25, 1950. The affair was held in the gymnasium of Chestnut Street Branch YMCA. Those who attended enjoyed games of all types, dancing, and refreshments.
On the same night, immediately after the Gradale affair, Phalanx Fraternity held its initiation ceremony for three new members. Mr. Robert Leo Millen, Pro-Primus of the organization, presided during the induction ceremony. The new Phalanxers are Messrs. George Ducker, Albert Ducker, and Charles A. Watkins.
Monday night, August 28, the Alpha Kappa Chapter of Phalanx Fraternity presented its annual Formal Sweetheart Ball. The Primus, Mrs. Jesse N. Alexander, Jr., presented Miss Mary Ethel Lane, Phalanx Sweetheart for 1949-50, who in turn crowned the lovely Miss Maude An White, Sweetheart of Phalanx for 1950-51. Miss Alma Flack, one of the Sweetheart Attendants from last year, presented the awards to Miss White's two charming attendants. They are Mrs. Jessie Carter Stokes and Miss Mary Buchanan. The David Morgan Combo provided the music for the occasion.

HEALTH TO BE PART OF STATE FAIR PROGRAM
Health will play a prominent part in the 1950 edition of the Kentucky State Fair from September 10 through September 16.
The exhibit of the Division of County Health of the Kentucky State Department of Health is to be housed under the Grandstand.

Personnel from the State Department of Health will be on hand to answer questions, take requests for health literature and discuss the work of the health units.
Another feature which proved popular last year--the tent show sponsored by the Division of Veneral Disease--will again be a part of the educational program of the State Department of Health. Free motion pictures will be shown in the big auditorium tent.
Films to be shown are Know for Sure, Message to Women and Feelrng All Right.
