taking to maintain the progress
and reform already set in motion.
In doing this Mr. Cook proposes
to visit the school districts and or
ganize rallies and conferences in
the interest of the schools. He
will have with him during the
summer the State Superintendent,
4. L. Jones, Wharton S. Jones,
A. L. Todd, P. p. Claxton, DR..
Ayres, A. I. Barrett and other
eminent educators, who will assist
him.
Mr.. Cook has the character and
ability to get behind these sug-
gestions, and before a great while
we expect to see some very extern
sive changes and improvements in
the public schools of the county.

A GREAT WORK.

The County Superintendent Of
Public instruction, w. H. Cook,
last week published in the county
papers a very interesting paper
upon the status of our public
schools, the good and bad points
Of the system now in use, and the
remedies for existing irregular
itfes. The subject is handled in
q comprehensive and intelligent
manner, SO that any one may read
lily see the defects and the advan-
tages in overcoming them! He
quotes from the school laws and
suggests the proper application of
these laws. There have been a
number of echoes from this paper,
showing that it has a two-foid
value. The first is the saving
power of arresting the attention
Of teachers and directors, but the
true test Of its merit is the fact
that it has set these people to
thinking. The idea of undertake
ing to maintain standard of ed
ucation in school district with a
scholastic population not exceed
ing thirtytwo pupils ! This means
not more than three months school
q year and an attendance Of about
fifteen or twenty pupils, and that
is not the post unsatisfactory fea-
ture. The teacher in such a school
is apt to get very small salary,
not enough to induce a competent
person to take the school. If the
salary was sufficient the length of
the term would not Justify a COM
petent teacher to take charge Mr..
Cook has drawn parallels to cases
which actually exist in the county,
and he is suggesting no impracti-
cal or radical reform. He propo-
ses simply to take advantage of
present laws and to recommend
the proper and equitable adjust
ment of the public schools under
these laws, gradually and COM
pletely eliminating distractions to
the development of school stand
ards in the county.
Another thought touched upon
was the obstacles to uniform grad
ing. This feature has been re-
duced to nominal and minimum
basis, and the Superintendent
thinks it will soon be entirely
overcome.
In suggesting these things the
Superintendent is undertaking to
inaugurate a campaign for the bet
terment Of the county schools. He
is not doing this in spirit of at
tracting attention to comparisons.
His predecessors have been all
good men, whose ability and USE
fulness have never been question
ed. In each of the preceding ad
the schools have
made wonderful progress, and the
have been such as to re-
1ound 10 the credit Of those who
served the couny in the past. Butt
none of these gentlemen would be-
satisfied to rest upon the work al
ready accomplished. |

l met a little cottage girl,

l met little cottage girl,
She was eight years old, she said;
Her hair was thick with many curls
That clustered round her head.
She had rustic, woodland air,
And she was wildly clad;
Her eyes were fair, and very fair;
Her beauty made me glad.
Sisters and brothers, little maid,
How many may you be?n
'How many? Seven in all, she said,
And wondering looked at me.
"And where are they? pray you tell, +"
She answered, Seven are we;
And two Of US at Conway dwell
And two are gone to sea.
1.-TWO Of US in the churchyard lie,
My sister and my brother;
And in the churchyard cottage
l dwell near them with my mother. .
you say that two at Conway dwell
And two have gone to sea,
Yet We are seven! pray you tell,
Sweet maid, how this may be-
Then did the maid reply,
Seven boys and girls are we:
Two Of us in the churchyard lie,
Beneath the churchyard tree.n
"You run about, my little maid,
Your limbs they are alive;
II two are in the churchyard laid,
Then ye are only fiye."
"Their graves are green, they may be

The little maid replied,
Twelve steps or more from mothers
door,
And they are side by side.
My stockings there / often knit,
My handkerchief there l hemmed;
And there upon the ground sit
And sing a song to them.
And often after sunset, sir,
When it is light and fair,
| take my little porringer
And eat my supper there.
1.-THE first that died was sister Jane;
In bed she moaning lay,
TIL God released her from her pain,
And then she went away.
$50 In the churchyard she was laid,
And, when the grass was dry,
Together round her grave we played,
My brother John and l.
"And when the ground was white
with snow,
And could run and slide,
Ny brother John was forced to go,
And he lies by her side"
How many are you, then, F" said l,
III they two are in Heaven?"
Quick was the little maids reply,
20, MASTER We are seven.p
But they are dead; those two are dead
Their spirits are in Heaven.

And said, NAY, we are seven.n

MR.. BRYAN's RESPONSIBILITY.

LuC puUllC SCuOOlo Vi Ju6 COuuby'
MR.. BRYANs RESPONSIBILITY.
In the colloquy with The Com
moner the Courier-Journal has
the following very rational and
sensible view of the situation with
reference to Democratic candi-
date for President:
Why, Mr.. Watterson has no candi-
date at all. To him. personally, 1t
matters little who is President.
There is nothing the Government or
the people have to give which he
wants, or would accept. Long ago he
laid down such leadership as he had.
Though he has devoted his whole life
to his party, given 1t the best that
was in him, and never asked favor,
nor ever struggled harder or made
greater sacrifices for that party than
the last ten years, there are Demo-
Gratis, both in and out Of Kentucky,
who are so forgetful and grudging, If
not so ungrateful, that they refuse
and resent his counsels, even where
these counsels are obviously disinter-
ested. And now comes Mr.. Bryan
himself to take critically If not to
view unkindly SO much as a sugges-
tion born of bis own declaration that
If the Democrats can find man who
is likely to get more votes than he
can get, they ought to nominate that
man.
For the reasons specified, we fear
that Mr.. Bryan can not unite either
the party or the elements of opposi-
tion outside the party which are nee
essary to elect; that another defeat
will extinguish the Democratic party |
as it is now organized; that, more
than all other men, Mr.. Bryan will
be held answerable for the conse-
quences of another defeat, and, final
ly, that In the socialized agglomera-
tion which will inevitably succeed
the present Democratic organization,
Mr.. Hearst, and not Mr.. Bryan, will
hold the whip hand.
We would escape such catastrophe.
Few things. would please US better
than to see Mr.. Bryan in the White
House. We are not in the least afraid
Of him. After Roosevelt, even a
more radical President than Mr..
Bryan would make an agreeable and
change.
In answer to this Mr.. Bryan says,
'trot out your man." and whole
heaps Of Mr.. Bryan's friends exclaim,
Yes; trot him out and see how quick
we'll eviscerate him"
No, no, gentlemen We IN ave
written in no such spirit. We have
no imam" We decline to be drawn
into any personal bipartisan attitude;
TO be saddled with any selfish or vain
glorious purposes. We merely say to
Mr.. Bryan that the Courier-Journal
Is his friend, not his enemy, and that,
II he does not intend to force his own
we can tell him of a cam
iidate answering wholly his require
nent, whom we believe we can elect.
But, to insure election, this candidate
must have the sympathy and support
IF Mr.. Bryan himself.
We accepted Mr.. Bryan's leadership
Ii good faith, discounting all minor
differences of opinion. We offer him
some experience 10 public and party
affairs, along with perfect disinterest-
sdness. If, however, these things
possess no longer any value, we are
still ready once more to follow him
20 a defeat, which, in the nature Of
things Democratic, is tolerably sure
10 be final.
