M. F. coNLEY, Publisher
New Law for Superintendents.


Many amendments to the school
law Will be proposed to the next Leg
ls'ature, among them one relative
to the County Superintendents. This
VIII be law leading up TO the real
supervision of the county schools.
Under the present law, the county
School Superintendent, with an av-
erage Of IS schools under his control.
IS required to make but one visit a
year 10 each school in the county.
Under the law that wilr be recon-
mended. the Superintendent will be
required to visit the schools a half
dozen times year, and keep on the
80 all the time. He will be expected
to teach the teachers, and work for
the salary he gets from the office.
Another important feature will be
recommended-a law permitting the
holding of the teachers institutes any
time of the year most convenient
and desirable.
Under the present rule, the insti-
tutes are held only in the summer,
but the institutes OF other States
are held far more successfully in the
winter. There will be recommended
tons all important too numerous to
mention, following the lead of such
progressive educational STATES as Ohio
and Indiana.
AS many of the institutes are now
conducted often along partisan lines,
tney accomplish but very little good.
II is urged by the best school in the
State tnat institutes should be held
during the vacation period, and not
while schools are in session. Just
about the time country school is
well organized and everything going
along smoothly and successfully
the teacher is compelled to turn his
pupils loose, and he goes to spend five
days and many dollars to dry-as-dust
lectures on psychology, and very
often is compelled to listen to teach
ers inferior to himself elaborate my
method" of explaining why We In
, lvert the divisor and multiply" After
five days of this stuff he goes back
to his school and spends the next
, two weeks in bringing it back to the
| point where he had to leave it.
S Institutes properly conducted, at
I the proper time, are great and useful
E factors in the development of a
teacher, and through him the mental
, growth of his pupils. Unless so con-
! Quoted they are a sorry joke.

Cherokee few days ago during
which one received slight wound

There comes a story from Lawrence
county, Kentucky, of sensational
killing which occurred on Blaine creek
last Friday morning. Marion Car
ter was shot and killed by Logan
Bishop at the home of the latter's
father c. w Bishop.
1t appears that Carter who was
the son-in-law Of G. w. Bishop, had
had trouble with his wife for some
time and a separation took place and
Mrs, Carter and her children return

On Friday Carter went to the home
