STATEMENT

This action was brought by Appellee, under an Act
of the General Assembly, entitled IAN act for the Gov
ernment and Regulation of the common schools Of this
state" approved March oath, 1908 and under which
the said Board was created,
The Board of Education of Christian County, pursu-
ant to the provisions of the said Act by written state
ment asked the Fiscal Court of said County to make
levy on all property subject to taxation under the said
Act sufficient to raise the of ten thousand dollars,
exclusive of the of collection for school purposes
for the school year beginning July first 1902 and end
ing with June 80 1870 The Fiscal Court being advs
ed by the County Attorney that the Act under which
the Board was created and the levy asked uncon-
sttutona formally refused to make the said levy, and
thereupon the Board of Education, by petition filed in
the Christian Circuit Court asked for writ of man
amus against the members Of the Fiscal Court, COM
manding them to assemble and make the said levy To
this petition the defendants entered their appearance
and filed their demurrer and final hearing the court
overrued their demurrer and the defendants failing to
plead further the court granted the writ asked for and
from the judgment Of the lower court the defendants
have appealed to this and ask for reversal for
the following reasons, to-wit:
FIRST Because the Act Of the General Assembly
creating the said Board of Education is unconstitutional
SECOND. Because the Board of Education did not
comply with the provisions of the said Act, in that it
failed to lay before the Fiscal Court the educational
needs of the county contemplated by the provisions
of the said Act if same should be held to be constitu
tional by this court.

ARGUMENT.

This Act is not amendment of the existing laws
for the government regulation schools
distinction from the graded and high schools
of cities but the complete law of the state
for that purpose.
The Act in question is not amendatory of the exist
ing laws for the government and regulation of the
mon schools of the in distinction from the graded
and high schools of the cities and towns Of the state
which does not control but is the complete law of the
state for the and regulation of the
or country schools and for the establishment of one or
high schools in each county for the benefit of those
who have completed the common school course The
Act excludes from its control graded and high schools of
the cities and of the state which have been Great
ed by special act organized under general laws for
graded schools for cities and towns of the various
classes and does not pretend be amendment to the
existing laws for the purpose for which it created.
1t pretends be the complete law for the purpose and
repeas all laws in conflict with it, 1t not the result
of the deliberate action of the General Assembly, but
was handed over to it ready made, a department
measure and rushed through without such consdera-
tion, so radical a change in school sys
TEN should have had.

deemed common school, or entitled to any
contribution out of the school fund
And the definition of a common school

Hopkinsville Kentuckian., 1909-05-08

1T is only by looking into the history
of the common school system in Kentucky
that we are enabled to understand what is
meant by those words If we lock to the
legislation on this subject prior to the adOp.
ton OF the present constitution we find that
a common school was a school taught in a
district laid out by authority of the school
laws, under the control of trustees elected
under those laws, by teacher qualified ac-
cording to law to teach.
And all the legislation on the subject
since the adoption of the constitution has
recognized this definition as being correct
as far as it goes.

the Revised Statutes, prepared by three of

In addition to the distinction heretofore made be-

term common Schools and what takes to constitute
common school, in itself.

The Advent Of Gate Receipts In the

The professional baseball player. as

newspapers Of the period that our
sporting men" drew no very sharp
line between the amateur and the oc-
casional professional. That perhaps
was only natural. Athletics were a
new thing to US. We had yet to learn
the dangers and the tiner ethics OF
sport. For example. the first conven-
ton OF amateur clubs. held in 1859.
felt called upon to pass a rule against
paying players. There was no money
in the game as yet. only glory. but GER
tain rich nonplaying members of the
fashionable clubs had begun to lure
stars from other clubs by offers of
money or Jobs"
The foundation stone Of professional
baseball. however. was laid when the
Atlantics. the Eckfords. the Mutuala
and the other crack teams Of Brook
Ign began playing on the old Union
grounds. This arena was a fenced
basin used in winter as a skating
rink. In 1862 the owners decided to
make It continuously profitable b.
turning it into summer baseball park.
Experimentally they charged a regu-
lar tens cent fee ut the gate. They
found that spectators were willing to
pay even when they raised the price
to IS cents. Half OF these fees went
to the ground owners and half to the
clubs. So came the appetite for gate
