PROF. LYTTLE HERE

Prof. G. Britain Lyttleof Man.
chester, was in town this week on
his way home from Lynch Mines In
Harlan county where he had been
to organize a Spanish class to teach
this winter. Many Of the miners at
that prosperous camp being Spanish
American briein who reside there
with their families and are soilcitous
to learn English while their employers
and the clerks and stenographers OF
the latter wish to learn Spanish. 1t
has often been said that the disagree
ment among peoples is attributable
In the main to their not understand
ing each other well. and that the
best way Of promoting friendly bust,
ness relations between peoples is to
teach them each others mother ton
que Prof. Lyttle believes this to be
largely true. and as there are only
two national languages in all the
Americas. North. South and Central.
he thinks Spanish and English
should he taught as the leading Ian
guages of the New World republics
which are all coming into such close
relationship through the improve
ments recently being made, such as
the construction of the Panama Ca
nal and the building Of the nterna-

RURAL SCHOOLS
OF KNOX COUNTY

The rural schools of Knox county
are doing fairly good work this fall.
Quite number Of the teachers are
young and Inexperienced. At least
one-half Of the teachers are teaching
their first school but am proud to
say that in almost every case they
are making good, Some Of the teach
ers have quit their schools for more
remunerative Jobs. IN one sense they
can not be blamed, while on the other
hand II Is great disadvantage to
the schools, because it takes new
teacher some time to reorganize the
school and become acquainted with
the pupils, and is therefore great
loss of time and energy. The County
Board of Education has thought wise
to allow no teacher to resign or at
least to resign one school in order to
take another school and will not en-
ploy any teacher who resigns for the
purpose of taking up another school.
The teacher who signed contract
to teach is honor bound by that con-
tract TO finish the school because they
were not blind to the amount of their
salary when they were employed, be-
sides the salary Of the teachers of
Knox county is at least ten dollars
better per month this year than it
was last, also the salary schedule is
so arranged that the teacher may re-
ceive rs much AS one hundred dollars
per month according to qualification,
experience and attendance, SO it de-
ponds upon the teachers own efforts
as to what her salary may he.
Most any kind of II teacher in most
any kind of district can have II
good attendance for the first three
months, but it takes good teacher
in a good district to hold good at
tendance for the entire school term.
The law is very plain In regard to
the compulsory attendance. No par
ent or guardian will be excused for
not sending their child or ward TO
school unless on account of sickness
or other disability. Other disability
means high waters or extreme cold
weather, so l advise all the teachers
and trustees to do their whole duty
and report promptly to your County
Judge or Justice of the Peace and il
be them and not the teacher or the
trustee. 1t takes vast amount of
money to run the expenses of the
schools of the county and the County
Board of Education has only a lin
tied amount of money to use for the
school purposes. earnestly hope
that the teachers and the trustees as
well as the parents and pupils will
realize this fact and use every pre-
caution possible to do the best work
that lies in their power, instead of
standing off and saying hard things
about those i'm charge of the work.
1t would be great step towards pro-
gress along these lines if the teachers
trustees and parents would acqualntI
themselves thoroughly with the COM
mon school law and the conditions
just as they exist, and roll up their
sleeves and help to carry the work
along

ARRESTS ARE FEWER
ALL OVER COUNTRY,


Figures recently published by this
paper have shown the enormous de-
crease IN, the number Of arrests In
Z Kentucky towns for all criminal
charges, and particularly on the char
ges Of being drunk and disorderly
growing out of the Use of Intoxicating
liquors. The Statewide Prohibition
Federation now presents statistics to
show that in all cities of the country
the result has been the same, showing
a great decrease In the number of ar
rests in such cities as Chicago, Pitts
burg, Cincinnati, Baltimore and New
York.
Arrests in Allegheny county, Pa,
In which Pittsburgh Is situated, de-
creased 90 per cent the first month of
prohibition. The first dry Saturday
. In Baltimore witnessed drop in the
number of arrests from 37T to 80.
In Boston the average number Of
Saturday arrests before prohibition
went into effect was 300. The first
Saturday after prohibition went into
effect the number Of arrests was Eve.
Chicago perhaps shows a. remark.
able results as any Of the larger
American cities In the reduction Of
crime since the elimination Of the 40.
looms. Judge v. n. asmmeil- Of that
city, says July arrests dropped so per
cent from the same month year ago
and In August the reduction was 81
per cent. In July Chicago suffered
from riots, q great deal of liquor was
stored and much of It was used, and
In spite of all this arrests dropped
&c per cent from the figures Of the
previous July when Chicago was wide
open.
The Federation urges all dry vo-
tiers to go to the polls November 4,
and vote for the Statewide Amend
ment, carrying it by such large ma
jority that the bootleggers will not
dare TO ply their trade in Kentucky,
If he can find any. way to obtain the
liquor necessary to carry on his ne.
farious business. The amendment,
according to instructions given by
Secretary of State James T.. Lewis,
will be submitted on a separate bal
lot, and all voters are urged to ask
for that ballot and cast 1t before
fore leaving the booth November 4th.

WILL MARK AUTOTRA|LS
THIS IS TO BE DONE BY THE
ALL ROADS COUNCIL
Each Highway To Have Distinct
Feature; Roads Through
Mankat0

; Plans for making all automobile
trails through Minnesota have been
announced by II. NJ Orfield. president
of the All Minneapolis Good Roads
council.
The trails, according to the plans
of the various good roads agencies
of the state, will have signposts al
every crossroad and special markings
on poles by the wayside. Eventually
it is hoped to have distinctive mark
ings to feature the highways. These
may be drinking fountains, small
memorials or statues, placed at in
tervals along the routes. ~
With the development of stat
highways under the aid of the Bah
cock hard surfaced roads bill, good
roads enthusiasts look for Minnesota
to have the most complete set
roads in the United States. Nor
than 5000 miles of hard surfaced
roads are provided for eventually b.
the law.
Automobile organizations of the city
and state are supporting the move
ment for better highways, Mr. Or
field said On the recent automobile
tour to Walker, Mimi, under the
direction of Senator Patrick H. Nc
Garry, Walker, Minn., practically
every automo! lie organization of tho
state was represented. They report
go increasing interest among people
of the state in good reads.
Those trails which run through
Mankato are as follows:
