Supt. Ellington Advocates a
Number of Changes.
He Desires County Schools Made As
Good As City Schools--City
Teachers to Aid.
INTERESTING SCHOOL NEWS

An energetic move has been set on
foot to perfect the county schools to
such degree that the graduates
from the common schools in the coun
ty will be enabled to pass into the
Paducah High school without an ex-
animation. This move was set on foot
by Supt. Ellington, of the county
schools, who is an energetic worker
in educational matters.
AZ the meeting az Heaarca's last
Saturday Supt. Lelb of the city
schools, and several local teachers
went out to encourage the move. In
order to perfect the county schools
to this degree it will be necessary to
lengthen the term of teaching and to
have more perfect attendance. Prof.
Ellington thinks this possible. al
though It will require a great deal of
work and influence but with the as
sistance of the city teachers and 9th
ers interested in educational matters,
he hopes to accomplish something.

The city furnishes books and mate
rails to pupils who have no money to
buy them and this in time may lead
the school board to adopt the coop
erative plan of supplying books and
material. In some cities the schools
maintain a regular book store. but
for school material only. They buy
the books at the regular dealers dis
count and clear a neat sum annually
on the sale of books. 1t is not com
pulsory that pupils buy from the
schools. but wherever the idea il
adopted the schools have prohted.

MORE BUSINESS SENSE NEEDED

We often hear of the valuable
franchise rights" the city gives away
or sells for a song, but two of the
valuable" franchises the city recent
" put up for sale didn't bring a ten
cent piece. A franchise is frequently
worthless until brains, capital and
hard work make it valuable. 1t is
worth nothing as II stands. This is
particularly true in the smaller cit
les where it is often favor or act of
philanthropy for men of ability and
money to risk them in an enterprise
that gives the people comforts and
conveniences, and often yields no re-
turns to the investor. Yet after years
of struggling, if the enterprise is fl
nally placed on a paying basis, often
the first to complain of the ''valua-
BILE rights" that have been ruthlessly
given away" is the public-the on
ly one that has derived pleasure.
comfort or profit from such enter
prise. All of which should indicate to
officials in a growing town-an en-
bryo city that strives to bring in new
capital. new people and new indus
tries-that they should be more con-
sderate of the wishes of those desir-
ing franchises, than they were in a
few recent cases. A franchise fire.
quently means legal right to
invest money in some enter
prise that may benefit anyone and
everyone except those putting money
into it. The city of Paducah in the
past few months put up two franchis-
es that no one wanted, because the
general council refused to consider
the desires of those willing to buy the
franchises. A city should not under
take to regulate rates. 1t should fix
a maximum rate that is reasonable,
and then let the concern itself fix the
rate at whatever the public considers
reasonable and is willing to pay. The
rights and interests of the people
should be safeguarded in every essen
tial, reasonable way, but this does
not mean that the city should work
hardship on the public because of
any narrow, unbusinesslike view
some of the lawmakers may happen
to have.
If ccmmon-sense had prevailed
the recent ferry franchise would have
been sold instead of the city vast
ing the cost of thirty days advertis-
ing, only to have no one bid on It. If
II had been done in the telephone

bought a franchise and paid the city
a franchise tax, which II is not com
PEELED to do under it's charter obtain

Washington, Nov. 21-When Pres

Justice of allowing extra pay to men
on such service. He has now ordered
that, besides the s. per month extra
pay allowed them, enlisted men serv-

and reported as qualified for such
work, shall receive 81 additional pay

LET US HAVE HARMONY.

The city is about to enter a new
era-and a more prosperous one, Il
is to be hoped. a new set of officials
will soon be in control of the legisla.
tive boards. and much of the success
of their efforts will depend on the CO.
operation they receive from Mayor
Yeiser and the remnants of his ad-
ministration.
These new officials, as we under
stand il, desire nothing except what
is for the common good, and will do
nothing except what is best for the
city as they see It. The mayor can
therefore well afford to join hands
with them in their work, and aid in
stead of antagonize them. 1t is to be
hoped he will. Every man is entitled
to his own opinions and If the mayor
differs with the new boards on any
question, his ideas will no doubt re-
ceive courteous consideration. as
they should. 1t is time to put aside
politics and partisanship. however,
and by doing II the mayor can not
only render invaluable assistance 10
the $4,000 or more people he repre-
sents, but can in the two remaining
years of his incumbency also redeem
his past record to some extent for his
many partisan acts.
We believe that not one of his
friends would hesitate to advise him

ment, which often go together. and
