Paducah's public schools are a
monument to the intelligence and en-
terprise of the present board of edn-
cation, most of whom were elected
by the people of Paducah last fall.
The schools have been steadily ad-
vanoing for two years, but have
forged ahead with astonishing ra-
pidity during the last year. A great
deal of their progress is due 10 the
ability of our efficient superintend-
ent, Prof. c. NJ. Leib, and a great
deal to the honest effort of the
board of education to give the public
good schools. The operation has
been complete and harmonious and
should be continued. The one idea
that predominates in school circles
is to give the people of Paducah the
best schools possible with the money
in hand. The corps of teachers has
been carefully selected. and all are
capable. 1t used to require little
except to be kin to some school trus-
tee to get a place in the publie
schools, but that day has passed.
The teachers are now selected sole
ly with view to ability, and this
will continue 10 be the method of
choosing them as long as the present
trustees are able to manage affairs.
The people, in the interest of good
schools, should indorse the record
made during the past year hy the
board of education by slecting no
one who will interfere IN any way
with the work so well started and
being so faithfully and successfully
carried out.

this dizzy height. Now40ith 20 and
3O-story buildings all about, it looks
low and squat, and the directors begin
to face the necessity of rebuilding. Ten
story buildings are now called ':tax-pay-
er3."
The Equitable building may be worth
$10.000,00 or more including it's site.
Or rather the site is worth that and the
building little in addition. The Law
yers club installed upon two floors at
the top was one of the pioneers of the
downtown club idea in the city. To
this day there is no more splendid place
of marble fittings and magnificence.
This building is monument to the
memory of strong man. the late Henry
B. Hyde. Whatever difficulties his idol
lied company may have got itself into
since his death, Hyde built to last
everything that he touched. 1t is a
thousand pities that such work should
have to be torn down and pried apart.
The fate of the Equitable building-once

to be torn down that it may rise upon
the site more respondent than ever
is it symbolic of rebuilding needed in
the company itself? I wonder! =.
