The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1881-12-03

Several citizens Of Cairo have of late
been paying some attention to very good
plan of advertising the city, which consists
of having maps made, showing the city Of
Cairo and the county and towns surround
ing it for fifty miles each way, and show
ing also the many railroads present and
prospective which centre here These maps
are to be distributed over wide range Of
country, in all the principal cities, so as to
give the public generally correct idea of
what Cairo really is and what its chances
for speedy and prodigous growth are. The
firm of Alvin J. Johnson & Son, of New
York City, has been written to concerning
the price of the publication of such map
and they have replied that copper plate
of the size -four feet square, and character
desired would cost two hundred dollars,
The gentlemen having this matter under
consideration believe, not without reason,
that the plan properly carried out would do
Cairo much good.

The usual high school room exercises
yesterday afternoon were opened with a
couple of songs by the school from the new
song books. The literary exercises con-
sisted chiefly Of compositions. The subjects
and composers were as follows; "Scot-
land" by Miss Lizzie Green; "The Tele-
graph" by Miss Alice Halliday; "Colum-
bus" by Master Miles Gilbert; "Country
Schools" by Miss Nellie Fisher; "The Staff
of Life" by Miss Lila Halliday; "The
Country" by Miss Jennie McHale; "The
Glass of 81" by Miss Ruth Barnes; "The
Country Home" by Miss Mary Irwin /;
"Skating, by Master Walter Bristol ;"Olym-
pic Games" by Miss Maud Lohin; "Beg-
CARS" by Miss Saddle Wheeler; "Trihes,"
by Miss White Dunning; "Skates," by
Master Willie Gilbert; Examination" by
Miss Alice Henderson; "George Washing
ton" by Master Fred Gallagher; Hobbies"
by Miss Eva Sheppard; 1.-THE Shartas," by
Miss Addie Christman; "Hiber-
nations" by Miss Lulu Phillips;
"Salt," by Master James Galigan; Health"
by Miss Letttie Corlis; "Giants
Squid," by Miss Minnie Bennett; compost
ton, by Miss Jeanette Miller Twice the
reading of compositions was interrupted by
the giving ont of historical questions. The
first was by Miss Minnie Breibach, and
referred to "Mesepotamia;" the second was
by - -, and was found to be "Cyrus."
In conclusion the school sang couple of
beautiful songs. As whole the exercises
were very meritOrious as well as interest
ing. Several compositions were especially
so from the fact that they treated of live
subjects, were we'll written and well read.
The one, entitled Hobbies, read by Miss
Sheppard, contained suggestion with re-
ference to writing compositions, which the
writer termed "the Hobby of the School,"
that might be proftably followed by some
Of the scholars. Among others, the COM
positions of Miss White Dunning, on
"Trifles," and Miss Ruth Barnes on "The
Glass of 81" were especially interesting.
tits TO be regretted that the parents of the
scholars interest and citizens
generally, manifest so little in
these exercises. Every citizen inter-
ested in the public schools of the city (and
there are few who are not, is in duty bound
to visit the schools at least once in week
or ten days, and thus encourage both the
teachers and the scholars in the arduous
work they so steadily pursue.

on a suffering human being and who would
contribute gladly and literally toward the
establishment of a fund to relieve the poor
people Of the city. 1t is only necessary to
call upon them to do so and the response
will be prompt. The question which would
seem to be the most essential, is how to
make the request so that it may reach every
body who is willing to contribute and in the
most agreeable way to all concerned. And
this is probably best answered by the sug-
gestion of ball under the management of
some Of our prominent ladies and gentle
men, in one Of the largest halls in the city,
where all could 60 and spend the hours in
pleasant and healthful enjoyment, while at
the same time contributing toward the ac-
complishment of noble purpose. The
fund thus raised could be placed in the
hands of committee of ladies', who could
dispense 1t as necessity might from time to
time require. If such ball in st. Louis
produces ten thousand dollars, in Cairo it
should bring together thousand or two at
least. Once begun, the ball will readily
become here, as it is in st. Louis, "a reg
ular annual feature" of Cairo social life
and bring to the first successful Inaugural
tors and subsequent managers name of
which they might be justly pround.
