features of these political days.
Sunday, June 81, was designated as
public school Sunday" and every
clergyman in the commonwealth was
asked to deliver on this day in his
own church, VAT least one address on
Public Education in Kentucky" The
results were astounding. On public
school Sunday there were nearly 5000
addresses made from the pulpits of
the state. The audiences were esti-
mated at nearly 100000 people.
Nearly 25OO set speeches were made
in the campaign by the regular, spec
ial and local speakers and nearly 500-
600 people heard these addresses.
This campaign has had wonderful
effect in bringing the gospel of pub
lie education nearer the hearts of the
people. The people are thinking.

The second "Whirlwind campaign

for seven days, beginning June 81,
1909 One hundred earnest speakers
were kept in the field They include
many of the most prominent men and
women in business, political and
school life in the state. An attempt
was made to carry the campaign into
the rural districts and to try if pos
sible to put new life and vigor into
the rural schools. In addition to the
work in the rural districts an all-day,
open-air meeting-a rally day-was
planned in each county of the State.
Hundreds and even thousands of peo-

HOW ONE STATE SOLVED ITS
SCHOOL PROBLEM.

Hawaii has many school problems
that it must work out alone. The
rule of no other part of the country
will fit certain conditions here.
There is nevertheless much that
our people can learn from the exper-
fence of others and with the hope
that those not hitherto interested in
education and it's needs will be
aroused to their duty, the Bulletin
gives to its readers liberal extracts
from the experience of the State of
Kentucky.
When we speak of State of the
American Union we assume that its
schools and school system represents
high standard Of perfection We
know what it should be- States make
} their mistakes however as well as
Territories.
John G. Crabbe, president of the
Eastern Kentucky State Normal
School published an article recently,
in which he tells of what Kentucky
faced, what it needed to do, what it
has done, and how they went about
ii.
In 1907 saws President Crabbe,
under the "old cumbersome iniquit-
GUS district school system" Kentucky
faced squarely certain facts.
(These correspond to the school COM
missioners and school agents of Ha-
vail; 5000 could not read nor write:
out of the $4,000 there were $4,000
merely appointed, leaving about 10000
who were elected in poor sort of
way. 1t is an old story to say that
10000 of these trustees were not at
all interested in the schools and that
the vast majority cared only for a |
kind of graft to secure certain teach |
ers and perquisites available.

90 Salaries were poor, for the Il
teacher simply received the draw"
go There were but few trained
teachers and there was but little OPP
portunity to secure professional train
ing.
90 There was no well-defined Is
plan of instruction for the rural Is
schools Is

in the counties and districts for the
year 1909 were increased from the
sum of $1S0,000 in 1907-S to an
amount estimated at 100000.
This is a story of real progress.
The educational commission, after a
careful and exhaustive study of con-
ditions and laws in Kentucky and 9TH
Ter States of the Union, and after con-
Isultation with educational leaders at
hone and abroad, outlined a code
governing the whole common school
'fJsten of Kentucky.
With the rural schools under the
new school law, with one or more
high schools for secondary education
IN each county, with well-equipped
normal schools indispensable for the
training of teachers and with an
aroused public sentiment, Kentucky
may well look up and take courage"
A public-spirited press is loyalty

certain; the women of the State are
aiding bravely; the lawyer and doc

to combat ignorance in his state; and
