The evening meeting was called

and the benediction by Rev. Mr..

DR.. P. z. Claxton. of the Univer-
sity of the South; was the speaker.
He is an eloquent, mastery and
convincing orator. Prof. Claxton
began by comparing ancient and
modern times and poinled out that
in his opiniou history shows that
more had been accomplished for the
upbuilding of the world since the
year 1900 than in all the centuries
before that. The speaker pointed
ont that the movement for public
school education had been response
BILE for this great progress in the
world.
Prof. ClaxtOn defined the Chris
tian religion as a religion of light,
life, love and service He defined
the purpose of the public school to
be that of imparting knowledge,
training for life, and inspiring TO
love, in order that mutual service
might abound.
He asserted that it is impossible
for Democratic government to
exist long. unless the whole body
of people be educated; that the per-
petuity of the institutions as ma
ton and as separate States within
that nation, depends upon the edn-
cation of the masses.
Illiteracy Holds Balance.
He stated also, and produced sta
tistics in proof. that the illiterate
voter in Tennessee and in Kentucky
holds the balance of power, and
FROM the census report of 1900, read
statistics pertaining to the iteracy
of Kentucky which convinced his
audience that it was time to b. up
and doing for the betterment of the
school system.

lie sentiment to aid in the execution
of laws enacted. He praised the
work accomplished by the women
of Kentucky in the organization of
School Improvement Leagues, and
made a plea for better school homes
for lns children of Kentucky.
Longer Terms Wanted.
He made plea for longer terms
of school; stated that while the
country boy or girl was undoubted-
ly the equal of any other boy or
girl, that be had never found that
country children possessed special
faculties whereby they could learn
as much in six months as child in
the city could learn in ten; and that
he had never been able to discover
that country teacher had special
faculties for impartlng> in six
months to a mixed school as much
as could lie taught by better trained
teachers in ,ity schools, with classes
carefully graded.
Why Not Be Cultured
He defied the world to show any
reason why a man living in the
country. contending with all the
forces of nature, and procuring
wealth for the entire world, should
not be as well trained and as cul-
tufed as the man in the city who
spends his days in measuring cloth,
weighing coal or keeping books.
He made plea for better pay
ment of teachers and asserted that
Kentucky is yet paying teachers of
rural schools less than is paid for
the food consumed by prisoners
that teachers of Clark county are
paid 500 year; prisoners cost
about $24O.
