Kissed By First Lady of the
State.

From an article appearing in
the New Orleans States of the
Inauguration of Governor Hall
we clip the following paragraph:
Immediately after the cere-
monies on the capital lawn, the
governor was embraced by Mrs.
Hall, who planted an affectionate
kiss on his cheek in full view of
the crowd. As the governor was
released from the arms of the
chief lady Of the State, he was
quickly embraced by his pretty
young daughter, Clara, who
following the example of Mrs.
Hall, gave her father a loving
hug which brought forth cheers
from the crowd.

CHAMP CLARK one OF
BEST EDUCATED Men
IN CONGRESS.

Speaker Champ Clark is one of
the best educated men in Con-
gress. His wonderfully stored
mind is the marvel of his col
leagues. Few men in public life
have SO wide a knowledge of his
tory, literature, languages and
the sciences. The Speaker does
not parade his knowledge, but
when he talks, he can entertain
his listeners for honrs. Itmakes
no difference what subject is
suggested, the Speaker can dis
cuss it at length.
Champ Clark had to work for
his education. It was a hard
road he travelled to success, but
it was sure. Like Lincoln, his
thirst for knowledge began early.
His biography in the Congress
sional Directory said he was edu-
Gated in the common schools, the
Kentucky University, Bethany
College and the Cincinnati Law
School. In 1874 Mr.. Clark
was President of Marshall Col
lege, West Virginia, and for
twenty-five years held the record
for being the youngest college
President in the United States.
His first college experience was
in his home State, at the Ken
lucky University. He had to
work his way through that col
lege by doing janitor work and
performing other duties. He
had no money to spend and what
books he read, outside of the
college text books were loaned
him. With an insatiate desire
to get knowledge, he longed tc
possess some books Of his own
selection. Toward the end Of his
first term at the Kentucky Uni
ve~sity, Champ received the frs
remittance from his Father. Il
was SIS, and the elder Clark in.
his boy that he sent it t
pay the boys stage fare home.
SIS was a whole lot of money tx
the young man. He would have
liked to do what other boys did.
and ride to his home, but his
love of books was so strong thai
he decided he would walk home.
sixty miles, and spend his SIS fol
ten volumes of poems. So witt
the books under his arms, Chang
set out on his journey home. i
took him two days to cover the
sixty miles. When he got to his
fathers house, he had to get tt
work, but he found time to reae
the ten volumes Of poems. This
was the beginning Of his educa,
ton.

Triplet Girl Babies.

We're, says the New Iberia En-
terprise. The most interesting
feature Of the triplets was the
fact that two of the children
were perfectly white, while one

in perfect health, all using the

country, town and city alike de-
pend upon efficient rural educa-
ton. These are facts which we
must admit.
The Improvement of rural
schools requires more m Y
items 1-2-3-4-5,) and upon their
reorganization (item 81 We
must have better buildings, bet
ter trained teachers, more and
better equipment, longer terms
and industrial work that will
awaken children to the unde-
veloped resources about them.
We must have these things with
out waiting until town and city
schools get everything they may
need. We mnst develop trained
intelligence in the field where it
comes in direct contact with the
undeveloped wealth and poten-
tial prosperity which we may all
enjoy. It is no longer a senti-
ment; it is a business PROPOSE
ton.
Further, we must discontinue
a practice which no business man
or farmer would tolerate: that of
permitting small rural schools to
attempt to teach the entire cur
riculum for which the high school
demands seven highly trained
teachers, laboratories, and ex-
pensive equipment; we must
operate these schools on business
principles.
School authorities and country
people are waking up from a
long, painless sleep over these
matters. A stimulative fund of
one hundred thousand dollars dis
tributed in a way to affect the
organization of rural schools
would result in half a million
dollars worth of improvement.
Rural people would gladly raise
several dollars themselves for
every one received from another
source; perhaps no other expendi-
ture would bring so great re-
turns.
Dc we believe rural school CON
ditions are right because they
have existed thus for so long?
Does the wealth, prosperity and
general welfare of the whole
state depend primarily upon the
intelligence Of our rural people?
These are questions involved in
"a consideration of the rural
school. Such schools provide
the only educational means for
most of our youth, they are
stunted in development, deficient
in every important element con-
tributing to efficiency, yet funda-
mentally the most necessary and
important type of school in the
state, generating or retarding
the factors essential to state
wide prosperity and greatness.
