PEOPLE ARE ASKING QUESTIONS

Naturally no sane person cares ito
jump out Of the frying pan into the
fire." Sane people always want to
know, they are from Missouri and
must be shown.
Since the matter Of taking the State
Superintendent of Public Instruction
out OF politics and of allowing him to
succeed himself. has been widely dis
cussed in the papers of the State, the
sane people are asking themselves
and other people questions. Some of
them are asking. If the Office is taken
out of politics and he is to succeed
himself, will he be appointed by Il
board or will he be elected. and how"
Others are asking, But if he is allow
ed to succeed himself in Office mightn't
a shrewd fellow get in and stay in for
ever and ever?" These questions are
the ones which every sane taxpayer
and voter in the State should ask HIM
self.
Before answering these very point
ed questions for the sane people of
the State, it should be stated, and
stated emphatically, that people every
where are extremely anxious TO get the
schools and the whole school system
out of politics. The point which both
ers the parent and voter is; what is
the best method so that definite re-
suits will be accomplished? II the
legislature which convenes this win
ter should pass favorably on the
amendment eliminating the name,
state Superintendent of Public In
struction.' from the Constitution, il
would still have to be voted upon by
the people OF the State at regular
election. After the amendment had
been passed both by the legis.a-
ture and the people, the manner OF Sc
lecting or electing a superintendent
would be taken up by the legislature
Of the State.
II the people acting through their
representatives in the legislature. still
wished to elect the State Superintend-
ent, il could be done on an 'off year"

BARBOURVILLE BAP-

Will Resume Work, Al
ter Chritmas Recess
January 4th. 1916.

Taking all in all, the fall term
has been the best in the history
of the institution. Especially has
the. high school classes been
strong. Quite an increese in the
Academic department is expect
ed after Christmas. We judge
from reports that there will be a
large crowd in the normal de-
partment. In fact we are ex-
pecting an unusually large at
tendance in all the different de-
partments after the Holidays.
Quite a number have already
arranged for rooms. If you are
wanting rooms in the Students
Home, please write to the presl-
dent or see him at an early date.
The Institute has never had
as large and as strong faculty as
it now has. We are amply pre-
pared to care for our high school
department and can do our nor
NAL work more efficiently than
ever before. The Music, Ex-
preston and Art departments are
in good hands. AS the music and
expression teacher have not been
with us before, allow us to say
the expression teacher is a gradu-
ate of Columbia College of Ex-
preston. Chicago, and the music
teacher is a gradr ate of piano
and voice of the Cincinnati Con-
ssrvatory of Music. These ladies
havs shown themselves masters
in their lines of work.

elected. In other words, ii would not
then be possible for him to be swept
into office because he happened to be
on the Republican or Democratic
ticket. To make the necessity for an
election at ether than a regular State
election clear, il need only be stated
that nine out of every ten men who
go to the polls, never know even the
names OF the men who are running foI
the office of State Superintendent. II
anyone doubts the absolute accuracy
OF this statement, he should ask him.
self and nine other men the names OF
the two men for whom the people
voted for State Superintendent last
November.
A second plan for the securing OF
an efficient man for this most impor-
tant position would be to have him
appointed by strong, non-partisan
School Board. II must, however, be
understood thoroughly that such a
board would have to represent the
mass of people of the whole State as
well as the school men and women.
In either of the above cases, it would
always be TO the distinct advantage of
the state Superintendent 10 make
good" 80 that he might continue in Of
flee. Under the present system he
must hold the Office for four years
then 80 back to teaching or he must
use his position TO secure for himself
some other political Office.
That the schools, and especially the
rIral schools. must be gotten out OF
politics goes without saying. The
people and the legislators are sure to
see this in a big, broad, patriotic way
and carry the amendment. Afterwards
the Legislature can surely be trusted
TO learn what other states are doing
with this most important ONCE and
then decide what is best for the school
children of the State. The time is now
ripe TO act, because the people and the
men who will represent them at Frank
fort this winter, will be more than
willing TO do anything in their power
to further the interest of the children
who can not help themselves.

M|[L|CK RANCH IS
RAvAGED BY RABBITS

Evil days have fallen upon the Mil
lick ranch in Spring valley. Within
a brief period after getting his home
stead on a producing basis, a small
army of rabbits took possession of
his agricultural holdings. Ernest
Millick utilized every method within
his power to rid the ranch of the
pests. Ruin and devastation were
all that the Dummies left, after they
had destroyed $500 worth of crops.
You would hardly believe how
much damage rabbits could do within
a short time" said Mr.. Millick. II
had ten acres planted in alfalfa and
forty acres in various kinds of grain,
and after they made their little for
age there was nothing left for my
years work.
The crop running horde was not
satisfied in eating up part of the
crops, but left everything a total
wreck. My brother and l have found
1t impossible to prevent the Dummies
from carrying out their vicious in
tentions. Something must be done
next year or other ranchers will meet
the same luck that has befallen u.s."
