Every State in this union ha

larged and perfected. Thirty-tw,

This system is no longer an expert

the leading educators as necessity

successful.

It makes the right to citizenship de

Guty OF the commonwealth to guard
its own life and maintain its efficiency
It is universally agreed that tie edu

condition OF its life; and, that being
so, 1t Is not cnly the right, but the
duty OF the State to insist upon the
education OF all Of its people. L is
the inalienable right Of every child to
secure that measure Of training which
will fit him to epjoy the privileges

reason denied by parents, it is the

manifest injustice to tax the people,
whether having children or not, to
support a public school system for
the Instruction Of all the children on
the ground that the public welfare
demands it and then allow Its privi,
leges to be wasted and children grow
up in ignorance, as the Indifference or
carelessness OF parents and those who
have the care OF the children may
dictate.

A FLORIDA HORROR.
t Is Believed That the Black crlze
Was Committed by Negroes, But
No Trace of the Perpetrators
Can be- Found by the
Searchers.

A dispatch from Tampa, Florida,
sass the little farming community Of
Wauchula, IL Polk county, was
plundged into excitement Thursday
morning by the discovery OF a crime
aqualling in horror that tradgedy at
Ststesboro, Ca, last year. The home
OF JOHN Kirby, farmer, who moved
there last October from 9lount coun-
ty, Alabama, vas fourd In ashes and
in the smouldering RUNS were found
the bodies OF Kirby, his wife and four
children, ranging in age from a boy ct
twelve to infant Of one year.
The whole neighborhood soon reach.
ed the scene and an Investigate IN was
made which resulted in the inevitable
conclusion that the entire family had
been murdered and torch applied to
the dwelling. The skulls Of each OF
the victims, except Mrs. Kirby, had
been crushed In by some heavy
weapon, and each with the exception
Of the woman lad evidently been
murdered as they slept.
A hammer was the only weapon
found in the ruins, which could have
inflicted the wounds. The coroner's
jury was empaneled and after making
examination OF premises rendered yer.
dict that the family came to their
death 10y fire or some other means
unknowa."
The general theory Is that party
OF negroes committed the crime, al
though 40 traces OF the perpetrators
can be found. Some believe other
members Of the family were murdered
In bed ty being knocked in the head,
and Mrs. Kirby was outraged and
then killed by some other means.
Thorough search Of the neighborhood
and Investigation among the negroes
is being made.
