tageous. the special needs of a community can
be considered without in the least diminishing
regard for the foundation principles. The rural
schools certainly should pay some attention to
the chemistry of soil and agricultural subjects,
as well as stock raising. Especially is this true
of county High school. Greek roots are all
right, but they are not indigenous to the soil of
Kentucky. There are other kinds of roots to be
grubbed out
Because teaching is not a profession as we
understand profession in practice, these sub
lects have not been given general intelligent
consideration heretofore by an organized force
of sufficient influence to swing public senti-
ment Our normal schools are doing good work
in this direction, and occasionally one of our
scholars goes abroad and returns home with
new ideas
One of these is Professor f. George Payne,
now instructor in the East Kentucky Normal.
He spent two years in Germany and hits the
nail on the head in the preface to his report to
the state school superintendent on the German
School System, when he says:
"The system of schools in each state is thor
oughly organized with a head appointed by the
ruling authority. From this central authority,
the whole school system is organized This cen
tral authority in Prussia, at least, deslgnates
what shall be taught the requirements OF teach
ers and indeed all matters OF school policy Yet
the system is in no sense an autocracy For
very definite reasons, which will appear later in
the discussion, there is far greater freedom Tor
the exceptional teacher to demonstrate ms abll-
itv than in our own land This greater opportu-
nifty lies in the appointment and retention of
teachers There are certain requirements which
the teacher must meet before he can he ad-
mitted to the teaching body. These qualitica-
tions. as we shall later see, are clearly defined,
and are not impossible. They are uniform and
uninfluenced by graft or favoritism. Qualiii-
cations are necessary and when these are met,
the teacher is licensed to teach and when he has
proven his fitness, he can not be summarlly dis
missed He is employed for life and no power
can dismiss him except for immortality or for
violation of the law. The teacher is absolutely
free from the ENHANCEMENT of politics, and the
necessity of playing to the school board lie
is permanently employed at salary which will
support himself and family in his station OF
life. and, after faithful service, in case of nabil
! ity or age he is rewarded with pension. This
makes the teacher secure for life. He does not
need to worry over his future, and therefore he
is free to give his whole time to the service OF
the community and state He is likewise not
dependent upon the will of anyone for his posi-
tion and can exert the best that is in him fear
llessly in the interest of what he feels and wha
the profession recognizes as right
The Paducah evening sun., 1910-01-07
THE PROFESSION OF TEACHING.

There are certain absolute facts in the solu-
tion of all economic problems, which should be
easily grasped and must be adhered to, if the
solution is to be a real, effective and permanent
solution. This is true of the problem of i'm
proving our school system. The town with the
best equipment and the finest buildings may
have the poorest schools, and the log school
house with handmade appliances for teaching
the rudimeIits of physics, may be an eevatlng
influence for the whole community. 1t all de
pends on the teacher as it always has and al
ways will.
Let us answer the question, who is the best
teacher yankeewise, by asking another: who Is
the best lawyerl The reply must be, he who
gives UP his life and energy and zeal and soul
to the study and practice of the law. just such
a one should be that person, who next TO parent,
occupies the place of power III the lives Of
everyone of us-Our teacher.
When teaching in America is made a pro
esson in itself, paying an adequate salary for
to whomsoever meets the qualifications and
Y, ,pts the profession, instead of being a step

FIRST CATCH YOUR KIDNAPER.

Too many cooks may spoil the broth; but it is
observable that in popular government every
one desires to be the cook leaving to Others
the duty of gathering the fuel, carrying the
water and catching of the fish. Especially catch
ing the fish seems to be left out of the calcula-
tion of the majority of us. Because a little girl
was stolen from her home at Louisville, every
body is eager for the enactment of a law, pro-
viding drastic punishment for the offense.
When that is done we shall recine in the luxury
of an easy conscience, utterly ignoring the fact
that we must first catch our kidnaper and then
punish him; and in this particular case our kid
naper hasn't been caught The weight of the
penalty is of less consequence than the extent
of its application, in securing results.
