first class certificate.

In this system something be-
sides staying in a school house is
required of the teacher and
something is required of parents.
No teacher could afford to allow
his school to dwindle. no district
would desire it. Should it occur
it would lose the teacher pres
tige and deprive the community
of a chance for first-class teach
er the following year.
Persuasive methods would be
employed by the teachers, an &C
tive campaign in every district
would result. Many years ago
something similar to this was
required in Virginia and it
worked to the good. Again, if
teachers were only paid for those
they teach a large number of the
three thousand would soon be
in school. We have never been
able to see any justice in paying
teachers as now paid. We be-
lieve all teachers holding first
class certificates should all re.
ceive frst-class pay for their SER
vices and likewise with second
and third. We can best reach
the children through our teacher,
is our opinion, and to do this
something must be required of
the teacher. There is not a
business man or firm any where
who would keep his employee
under similar condition that Ken
lucky employs our teachers. An
other stimulating move to get
the three thousand in school
would be what we call an "edu-
cational ballot" A requirement
along this line would meet siren
ious opposition for a while, but it
would prove its worth in a few
years to the cause of education as
we'll as to good government.

ThF PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

lOr nealCn report IN last week
issue touching on our public
schools is as follows:
We have had several whirlwind
educational campaigns and the
papers have had a great deal to
say about the improvements of
the public schools, but up to this
writing, there seems to be moth
ing doing. Now, | have for
several years been advocating a
strict compulsory school law, that
will compel the parents and
guardians to send their children
tn the pnblic schools but | don't
hear of any body talking the
thing up. We must maoufact-
ure pnblic sentiment, and have
people talk it up, and keep agita-
ting it until we compel them to
take notice along these lines.
What says the Adair County
News? The News has always
been foremost in all good enter
prises that have come up but
here we have 5000 children for
the education of Which the
state is paying more than $1,000.
and the News is silent on the
subject, so far as | have been
able to see.
We do not believe in a COM
pulsory school law because, in
our judgment, it is wrong in
principle andiscould not be sue
cessfuIly enforced. The force
system in every instance per-
tanning to the liberties of the
people, is confronted with sturdy
resistance. An appeal to reason
the law of persuasion-is the
method in which we believe, and
the one, if judiciously per-
sued. will bring to our schools
ninety per cent, of the alb
sentees. 1t is our judgment
that effective appeals will never
be made under our present COM
mon school system. So long
as teachers are permitted to
draw money on absentees, and
children that never enter their
school houses, so long will that
three thousand remain out of
school. A teacher should be
paid for what he does, and not
for staying in large district.
No other business, public or pri.
vate, is run on such a principle.
Our system is wrong, and is as
much az injustice to capable
teachers as to the public. Often
our best teachers are forced to
accept a district with the small
est number of pupils, while the
youthful beginners may secure
district that reaches the high
est limits. We believe in paying
salary based on grade of GER
tifcate held by a teacher, then

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-This is tht

Polo grounds, where the champions Of
the National and American baseball
leagues, the New York Giants and tn,

There was no rain.
The grounds are in splendid con-

The long line was fully equipped for

furs and sitting on camp stools, with
steamer rugs tucked about them, held
grimly to the baskets in which their
breakfasts were slowed. Others who
had brought no food with them, kept
an eye on the stands, which supplied
them with "hot dog" and coffee
Nearly everybody bought double
