RURAL EDUCATION.

We commend TO the careful per-
usal of all good citizens the address
In Mondays News by Harry A. Som
mers of the Eizabethtown News on
What Must be Done to stamp out IL
literacy in Kentucky"
s The Indictment of Kentucky is a
frightful one, one that ought to bring
shame to the cheek of every patriotic
citizen. There are 519,415 white
children of school age in the Com
monwealth and only 196,O32 is the
average attendance in school.
Nearly three hundred thousand
children are not in school at all The
public school was established for
them and many of them are growing
up absolutely illiterate. The attend
ance In our district schools is not
increasing, hundreds of schools in re-
mote sections are without teachers,
and public school education, except
In cities and towns is at a very low
ebb.
Kentucky's illiterate population
produces forty per cent of its Grimm
ais and fifty per cent of its paupers.
Mr.. Sommers makes many practi-
cal suggestions looking toward i'm
proyement of our conditions. The
State itself does its share. The Com
Inonwealth last year paid 1855 per
capita, which is larger than any other
Southern State paid and is only ex-
ceeded by three States in the Union.
But the counties are the guilty
ones. The average local tax in the
Commonwealth is less than twenty
i've cents upon the parent for each
child's schooling. The average man
spends more in a week for tobacco,
and liquor than he does for his child's
education for whole year.
This is the nub of the case in our
opinion. You have got to build up
the right local spirit before you can
succeed in educational plans. You
have got to awaken the rural popu-
iation before we can successfully
hope to combat illiteracy. You have
get to make the average man realize
that his sons and his daughters are
more valuable than his horses and his
hogs. You have got to make the
school house the center of interest
IA the district.
We have just mentioped one of the
many suggestions made by Mr.. Som
msra We should from time call at
tenion to others.

FATHER JOHN
BURIED TODAY
Faithful ubjects Show Their
Devotion.
KISS ROBES OF PRIESTS


Hours of Noted Priest-Larae Sum
of Money Said to Have Disappeared
From His Home and at Very End
Abbess Held Hand as He Traced
Signature to Will Hequeathinq For
tune to Her institution.
st. Petersburg, Jan. 5.-The funeral
of Father John of Kronstadt take
place today, burial being at the mon
astery of st. John. Scenes of relig-
ious devotion approaching mania
marked the removal OF the body
through the streets of the capital to
the monastery.
Mourners from the common folk
lined up along the route of march,
while stolid throngs waited hours
ankle deep in slush for the passing
of the procession. Both men and
women dropped to their knees pray
ing and weeping bitterly as the cas-
ket passed and then struggled with
the police for chance to kiss the
robes of the officiating priests.
A number of stories are circulating
concerning the incidents surrounding
Father Johns death at Kronstadt. It
is reported that large sums of money
disappeared from his house during
his closing hours and that at the very
end an abbess held the unconscious
priests hand and traced his sigma
ture on will bequeathing his prop
erty to her institution.
After his death a great part of the
money contributed by his followers
throughout Russia and a large collec-
ton of unset gems were scattered
aimlessly throughout the rooms of his
residence. The people of Kronstadt,
foreseeing the ultimate canonization
of Father John and a harvest of aims
from pilgrims at his burial shrine,
protested against the interment at ST.
Petersburg and raised an outcry
about the cathedral before the re-
moval Of the body to the capital.
