SCHOOL
SYSTEM FAILING
In Its Purpose Towards
Children of State
SOME FACTS PLAINLY STATED
Which Show That Kentucky
Is WOfulIy Behind Other
States EdItatiOnally.

The public school system ofKentucky
| Is failure. We make this statement
upon two well-known facts, that there
are only twoTerritories and one State
where the per cent. of white illiteracy
is greater than in Kentucky, and the
statement Of Supt. Crabbe that over
100000, or 60 per cent. of the white
children of school age are out OF
school.
These two facts show conclusively
that our public schools are primarily
established to stamp out illiteracy and
to give an education to all the children
of the Commonwealth. They are doing
neither Of these two things. Kentucky
is lower in the scale of white illitera-
cy in comparison with the other
Southern States than it was ten or
twenty years ago. 1t is also as low
in percentage of the number enrolled
in the schools as it was ten or
twenty years ago.
The people of Kentucky are paying
half the tax which is levied upon
them by the State for public school
education and it is not reaching or
educating the very people for whom il
was intended. Half of the 100000
children of school age, are out Of
finished their education Ter have
stopped school, to put it. more prop
erly) or are in private schools and
colleges. The ether 100000 out of
school constitute nearly the entire
number for whom the public schocl
was established,
We state il without fear of con-
tradiction that 80 per cent. Of those
In our public schools would be edu-
Gated if there were no public schools
and that the public schools are only
reaching therefore 10 per cent of
those for whom the free schools were
established.
We do not ask for the repeal Of
the public school system because il
is a failure, but we do in great earn
estness ask that it he made a success.
We ask that our school laws be rev.
olutionized to meet the present de-
plorable conditions. We do demand
that something be done for the AGO.
900 out of school. They are the wards
of the State. Those are they for
whom the free school was established.
From this class comes all of our IL
literacy. 1t furnishes nearly all of
our criminals and paupers and float
ers in elections.
Kentucky was the first State in
the South to establish the free school,
yet now, after a half century it lags
behind all the other Southern States
in illiteracy and in percentage of nom
attendance.
It cannot be the fault of our peo-
ple it must be in our laws. Instead
of providing high school. normal and
university education, all great and
good in their way. the necessity that
is upon the State is to reach and ed
ucate the 60 per cent. out of school.

HERE COMES
HALLEY'S COMET
Heavenly Visitor of 70
Years Ago.
IT WILL NOT REMAIN LONG
Coming From and Going To-
ward Infinite With In
; comprehensive Speed.

Within the. memory of few has there
been an astronomical event of such
interest to astronomers, scientists and
the general public as the return of
Halley's comet.
, This mysterious celestial visitor is
now rushing across the solar system
toward the sun, after rs years in the
darkness of space. Even the most learn
ed and distinguished astronomers adj
init they do not know just where it
HAS been or what wonderful exper-
fence it may have been through since
it was last seen by human eye in
1888.
In every observatory in the world
scientists are now observing this COM
ct. 1t is rapidly growing in brilliance
as it approaches the sun and will be
visible to the naked eye some time in
January, shooting across the constel-
lation Aries, with an ever-lengthening
tail and ever-brightening head. But
the New York Herald believes the
feature of greatest interest is the
probable effect of the comet on the
earth.
Will it run afoul of this planet, and
. if it does, what will be the result?
Writers like Jules Verne and H.G.
Wells have commented upon such a
contingency in their fanciful style,
and in all their stories a cataclysm
has resulted. According to Verne a
great piece of the earth, with its in
habitants, is broken off and carried
: way by the comet. Wells fills thea
air with gas potent enough to change
human nature and the ideals of hui
man life.
NJ. Flammarion, who has lately
contributed an article to the European
edition of the Herald on an unnamed
planet which exists in the space be-
yond the orbit of Neptune, looks on
the stories of calaclysm to come as
farcical.
Nearly all these men admit the
possibility of the comet, or some part
oft, coming in contact with the earth
it is still so far away and its nature
too little known for exact calculations.
On May 1Sthe comet will be directly
between the earth and the sun and the
tail will stream out directly towards
us. AS the visitor will then be 49,
100000 miles away, its effect depends
entirely on whether its tail is that long
at the time they say, provided, Of
course, that the head of the comet
misses this planet when it rushes across
the earth's orbit on its terrific journey
toward the sun.
Astronomers are not the least fright
ened. Most of them point out that the
