just $40 persons present at a little past

ON the platform were Alderman

| Frederick w. Plaisted and Rev. f. F.
Newbert of this city and Charles r.
johnson. Esq. and Cyrus w. Davis Of
Watervile. Each was Well received
and rewarded with liberal applause.
Mr.. PlaiSted first tackled county
finances, but became somewhat tangled
| in maze of figures which he read
from the New Age, the county treas
urer'S report, the kennebec Journal
and the anonymous circular. and soon
left that subject to discuss the Cooper
trial which for some mysterious reason
he seemed to think was an argument
for his election as sheriff. He spoke
only about Is minutes and then left
for Gardiner to address a rally.
Mr.. NeWbert was the next speaker
ana devoted himself wholly to the sub
ject of reSubmisSiOn. He attacked the
prohibitory law in vigorous fashion.
declared that it increased drunkenness
and made a plea for the open saloon
as the model method of regulating the
liquor traffic. He declared that in the
years that he was i'm the West he saw
only one drunken man and he hailed
from Maine. Mr.. Plaisted had closed

that it Is the best State in the Union

Obituary..

On Saturday night Dec. 10th,
1905, Mrs. Julia T. Bardin passed
over the silent river OF death.
For eight years she had been con-
fined to her room with rheuma-
tism. She was born February
10th, 1849, making her Sc years
10 months and six day old at her
death; was married to Gabrial j.
Bardin November 9th, 1865, pro-
fessed religion in the year '67
and lived a true and faithful
Christian life. She was asked if
she was ready to meet Jesus and
she said, Yes. She tried to talk
to the children before she died
but she didn't have strength.
One night in her great suffering
she told her daughters that she
would rather see the light of an
other world than to see the light
of another day. Her funeral was
preached at Concord church by
her pastor, Rev. T. j. Campbell.
Her remains were laid to rest in
the family burying ground near
Antioch church. While we, in
company with her sorrowing
friends and stricken family, drop
a tear to her memory yet we sor-
row not as those that have no
hope. She leaves Z children, one
sister and several grand children
to mourn their 10 S S. Broken
hearted sorrowing childred hear
Gods promise pure and blest come
to me We heavy laden, / will give
you rest; cast your cares on low
ing Jesus until life's hard tolls
are done, sweetly then come to
glory, home, sweet home that
you have won. Then peaceful
be her silent slumbers peaceful in
the grave so low she no more
will join our number she no more
our tears shall no, let us ever
hope to meet her when the cares
of life have fled where there's
JOY and peace and gladness, where
no farewell tears are shed.
A FRIEND.

EDUCATIONAL.
THE FIGHT

IHE FIGHT
The officers and members of
the Executive Committee of the
Educational Improvement COM
mission of Kentucky held an inn
portant meeting at the Capitol
Hotel in Frankfort Saturday, De-
cember 10th. The meeting last
ed all day, and a definite plan of
campaign was determined upon.
Among other things which
form part Of the plans Of the
Commission, is an effort to
determine as far as possible the
will of the leading citizens of the
state in regard to the State Nor
NAL Scool proposition. To this
end the Commission has mailed
out 5000 blank petitions to the
5000 white school teachers ask
ing that the people be interview
ed. Over 1000 Of the 5000
teachers have already placed
themselves on record many times
heretofore in the matter.
The attitude of the press is es-
pecially gratifying. Out of a
lengthy list Of editorials last
week there was only one that
was not heatily in favor Of State
Normals.
There was an article in a coun-
| ty paper last week by one who
signed his name An Ex-Teach-
err" that gave vent to the follow
ing thought. He said; Give a
prospective teacher a thorough
training in an up-to-date State
Normal School and then send
him out to teach in the average
country district and ne Will DE-
come disguised with conditions,
environments, and salary, and
abandon the work at the end of
the first six months experience. =
Here is where the Ex-Teach-
err is clearly in error. The
trained teacher knows how to do
Common things uncommonly
well'', and hence his work is a
constant delight and fascination.
He knows when conditions are
wrong, and he has the know
ledge, training and heart-power
to set to work and right them.

1t Is one OF the greatest func-
tons of education to make the
poor discontinued with their power
ty and to fire them with a zeal
and determination to better their
lot in life 1t is possibly the great
est function of State Normal
S :hool to give such training to
its student teachers, ard to fill
them to overfowing with an in
SEPARATION that will enable them
to meet the adverse conditions in
the coun try and transform
them. 1t was State Supt. O. B.
Martin, of South Carolina. who
said; Zone intelligent, live and
enthusiastic teacher can revolu-
tionize a whole township, and
build a monument that will en-
dure." Such a teacher will make
conditions; he will create environ
ments; he will command a salary.
In the wake of intelligent efforts
will follow good school houses,
splendid equipment, beautiful,
school grounds, local taxation,
longer terms, larger salaries, and
and a more healthful public SEN
timent in favor of better educa-
ton and a higher citizenship. /
Such a teacher will practically
solve the problem Of compulsory
education. lie will draw the
children to him, and secure the
cooperation of the patrons.
Again this "Ex-Teacher"
seems TO infer that the child in
the country district is not entitled
to a thoroughly trained teacher.
Why not? There is no reason
why man should not supply there
in heart of nature schools that
shall offer as good educational
facilities as are to be found in
town or city. With such schools,
the country would be an ideal
place for the education of men
and woman. Without such
schools, it is but a question of
time when the best blood of the
country will move to the towns
and cities and leave in our rural
districts only the poorest peasant
population, too ignorant to know
the value and the blessing of an
education, and too Indifferent to
care to secure it for their off
springs.
Now is the time for all thouht-
flu people TO mediate solemnly
and earnestly. The Legislature
will be in session next winter.
Are you content to know that
Kentucky drags behind all the
others States and Territories in
this matter? Are you willing to
longer deny to the country boys
and girls the privilege of train
ed teacher? Are you satisfied to
know that hundreds Of thousands
of good, honest country folks are
unfavorbly inclined toward edu-
cation for the simple reason that
they nave never nau a .iaiilou
leader, but in place thereof, have
generally had unskilled teachers
and miserably poor schools? Do
you not believe it is a part OF
patriotism to change these condi-
tons? If you do, then it is your
duty to be up and doing. write
to your Senate and your Represen-
tative, and tell them of your
convictions. They will gladly
give your opinion consideration.
This is a government "of the
people, for the people, and by the
people. {" Then the people should
express themselves to the Law
Makers.
