The Schools to Get sls,o From the
State and $500 From
the City.
THIS WILL BE SUFFICIENT

Ine sOnOOl CELSIUS is aDOut cOnplett
and shows an increase, but not &c
much as expected yesterday. Divided
into wards the reports just completed
show by ward: First, 666 white and
525 colored, total 1880; Second, SAC
whites and 2s9 colored, total 1929
Third 767 white and 246 colored, totsl
1913; Fourth, 1915 white and 800 col.
ored total 1926; Fifth, 737 white and
305 colored Sixth, AIS white and AZ
colored, total 465.
This makes tho total 600, which
is an increase of not quite 100 over
last year. The report will be made to
the board of education at its regular
meeting Tuesday night.
The indications are now that the
schools will have plenty of money for
the year. 1t is expected to get be-
tween 80 10 and 80. 90 per capita from
the state, which will amount on the
census just completed, to SO, $40 in all
probability or to sis, 900. at the least.
The amount to be received from the
city of Paduah will be about s2s, 900,
total of $4,000. which is the
amount the board estimated would be
required to run the schools.
II is possible. however, that some
little money will have to be borrowed
ON anticipated funds rs some of the
amounts expended by the former board
have left the present board a little
short on the first half of the year.
There is every reason to believe
now, however, according to members
Of the new board, that the schools
will have sufficient to run them dur

FRESH AIR GOSPEL
Which, If We All Believed In, Would
Insure Us Longer and Healthier Lives.

Plenty CT fresh air IN our living rooms.
IN our public conveyances. in our bed

That Americans. as a general thing
suffer from living in overheated rooms
must be conceded. and perhaps we should
be harder. less liable to colds and NAL
aides which follow in their wakes If we
believed more firmly In the bcnehcent
effect of open windows.
The children who are warmly dressed
and sent out OF doors to play in all
weather have rosy cheeks. bright eyes
and a look OF genuine health. They are
different from the palid little house
plants upon whom the fresh air is
never allowed to blow.
We may avoid drafts and protect our
selves from the effect Of a sudden chill
by the judiciOus choice OF warm wool
for our underciOthinG, and by loose and
we'll made garments which confine no

distressingly evident Odor Of dinners

refinement which should belong to every

which comes from absolute inviolate
cleanliness and from flowers, which are
agreeable 10 every sense.
