SPRING TERM
Of Public Schools Opens
Auspiciously.

While Hopkinsville is making mar
velous strides in her progress and
development in all other directions,
the fact should not be overlooked
that the growth of her Public School
system is more than commensurate
with her growth in any other direc-
ton.
The term just closed, being the
first under the greater system, "
has been a most prosperous one in
growth and development, and ex-
cellency of work done. The stats
tics at the close of the term show
that in growth and development, it
has outstripped any previous term
in the history of the schools.
The elegant modern build ny on
West Seventh street and the increas-
ed number of teachers added to the
system came at the time when, as
the present large enrolment un-
questionably attests, il would have
been impossible to have accommodate
ed the Increased attendance without
these extensions. In fact, in spite
of the largely increased capacity for
the graded schools which has given
opportunity for the long needed ex-
tensions, in the improvement and
equipment of the High School Tow
more commodiously provided for,
the increase in the enrolment and
actual attendance has been 50 phcn-
omenal that every class room is COM
fortably filled, and many of the
rooms are crowded to their greatest
capacity.
The enrolment at present approx
mates 81 per cent of the school CEN
sus of the city. This in itself is
phenomenal, and when combined
with the number attending private
schools, the per centage of the school
population of the city in school is so
abnormally large that we can ac-
count for it in no other way than
that the population of the city has
increased tremendously since the
sensus was taken. The normal
enrolment for other cities in the
state ranges from so to 65 per cent.
of the census.
Wherever a city is found with
good public school buildings, and
good schools well attended, grow
ing, progressive and prosperous
community is found, The greatest
students of economics attribute the
phenomenal prosperity of the nation
directly to its great system of pub
lie schools. The nation S intelligence,
unity, and strength are all out
growths of her public school system.
And Hopkinsville, by proportionate
comparison with the most prosper
Gus cities in the country, is easily
moving in the van.
The spring term opened today
with splendid attendance and an
increased enrolment. The non
resident patronage has broken all
previous records. Notwithstanding
the fact that the tuition rates are
very low compared with other cities,
the revenue from this source will
about pay the interest on all out
standing bonded indebtedness.
Statistics of the enrolment in the
different schools at the opening of
the spring term are given below:
West Side School. 265

POSTMASTER, and in a breezy,
straightforward, convincing address
opened the speech making by pre-
senting the attitude of the Home
toward its agents, toward the
policyholder, and toward the trust
funds it controlled.
OVATION FOR WALLIS.
To Manager Wallis came the ova-
ton of the evening, which the sue
cessful management of his depart
ment well merited. His speech was
full of the confidence, enthusiasm
and energy which have inspired his
force to produce in the last year
greater returns than ever before.
Assistant Manager J. S. Eggles-
ton on behalf of the men Of the
Greater New York Department pre-
sented Mr.. Wallis with a handsome
solid silver coffee service as an ex-
preston of affectionate loyalty for
the man who is leading them toward

Mr.. Wallis has been in charge of
the Greater New York Department

many friends here will be glad to
learn that he has been eminently
successful in his management of the

pirate addresses.

exclaimed: why, you have no COM
mon hens; your hens are all scored!"
Because most of the hens were banded
he assumed that each band meant q
score card. A glance at the record
book would have told him different
story. 1t is not only the hen with a
show record that is deserving OF a
number; the hen who has proven
good mother is more valuable than the
strictly show bird. The following ex-
tracts from the record book will show
the use to which to put the leg bands.
There was a time when the writer
counted on peculiarities of plumage or
combs to identify his hens, but the
first moult changes the plumage, and
in flock of uniform color numbered
leg bands are the only sure means of
Identification:
mo. TO- Prolific layer. Eggs brown;
good mother, but eggs hatch a large
percentage of crooked toes. Not for
breeding pen.

but spotted. Chicks of good quality

Use only for two weeks of incubation
Hens that have come through the
moult in good plumage are banded in
the fall, and a record of their per-
formances and any popularity which
it is well to remember is made in their
second year.
The No. 10 hen is the showiest bird
in the flock, and sitting of her eggs
would delight the eye of fancler,
but as a breeder she is a failure.

eggs by leaving her nest at the crit
ical time, though before the chicks
pipped she was a model incubator.
A dozen leg bands and a little time
will save trouble next year. Keep
record this year of what you would
like to remember.

Advantages in Early PulIets.

The poultry keepers who raised the
early chicks, that is, March or April
Matching. are probably reaping the
benefit now. Their pullets are prob
ably laying eggs which bring from 30
to go cents dozen, while pullets
Matched later, say in June or July, will
not begin laying until next spring.
These pullets which begin to lay, say
about October 18th or November lst
of the year in which they were hatch
ed are the ones which swell the prof

we'll established fact that there is
twice as much profit, from a market
standpoint in eggs laid in late fall and
winter. are from those laid in early
spring and summer. 1t has been DEM
onstrated that chicks Matched early
in the spring mature quicker than late
Matched stock, even when the two are
of the same parentage and matlng.
Late Matched stock is always unproht-
able. You will never get eggs from
such fowls the first winter. 1t is not
best. however, to get the pullets TO
laying too early, or they may lay
few eggs, then go through a sllgnt
moult which will cause season OF
idleness when prices are high. But

they will be likely to keep UP the
good work through the season when
their product brings the highest prices

POULT r Y
Bowel Trouble in Chicks.
H. L. BLANCHARD

A poultry raiser asks what is the
cause of bowel trouble in little chicks
and how it can be avoided.
The editor wishes he knew and could
tell exactly what is the cause-but he
can't. The young of every animal
seems subject to a form of diarrhea
which is nearly always fatal. 1t has
been suggested that the white scours
of colts and calves is of the same char
acter as the white diarrhea in chick
ems. We can only give some of the
causes of this trouble What the spe-
cial cause is in each case can only be
intelligently surmised by one on the
spot.
If the eggs have been overheated or
chilled in the incubator, or surrounded
by foul air during the period OF incu-
baton, the vitality of the chick is les
sened and it is more susceptible to
disease of every kind.
IF the air of the brooder is bad, the
chicks will be subject to disease. II
the brooder heat runs down below 80
the first five days of the chicks life
the yolk will not be absorbed, and the
weaker chicks will die.
If the chicks have crowded and piled
on top of one another the under chicks
from the sweating and chill following
will probably die. :,
A well Matched chick will endure all
sorts of abuse and live, but the weak
ling which with careful nursing might
have reached maturity is sure to suc>
cumb unless all conditions are favor
able to it's growth.
A post-mortem on every chick that
dies will help in diagnosis OF the
trouble.
Avoid wet, sloppy food; dry food and
boiled milk are the safest for the nrst
week. What we want is to give the
baby chicks a good start. When flrst
hatched its circulation is imperfect;
it has no resistive force. 1t is pro-
yided with food for the first few days
of it's existence. Warmth and fresn
air during that time is OF more I'M
portance than food.
