WHAT THE SCHOOL BOARD DID

The school board held Its regular
meeting last night
Superintendent @. B. Hatfield pre-
sented his monthly report showing an
increase in attendance of SO white
pupils and decrease of is colored pu-
pills over last month. The increase Of
tuition pupils has been great and this
year the schools have over four times
as many paid pupils as they had last
year. The attendance during the past
month was reported not damaged by
the carnival confusion. Superintend-
emit Hatfield also said that from correct
figures he drew very good COMPARE
son between the Covington and Padu-
cab schools and the amount Of money
expended in the running expenses,
salaries, etc.
Paducah with only two-thirds the
attendance of Covington, expends for
running expenses only one-third the
money used in. Covington. This all
goes against the councils idea that too
much is being spent by the schools
The work of the building committee
was also complimented and commend
ed. The one session idea which has
been in effect for the past two weeks
was reported successful and Superin-
tendent Hatfield recommended that it
be again tried the first six weeks Of
the opening of the next term. In
speaking of vaccination he stated that
on account of the vaccination law all
pupils will have to be vaccinated be-
fore they enter school next season and
all who have not undergone the opera
ton should go to physician and have
the work performed now 90 that they
can enter the school ct the opening
term without any confusion.
