that a compromise with the injured

Supt. c. NJ. Lieb, of the public

/, in order that he may attend the

shape the methods and futures OF
the schools in the country.
The progress made by the schools,
new methods, and in fact every

cussed. In this way experiments
made during the year and their sue
cess or failure will be reported and
a general rule arrived at. Supt.

Preparations are Beginning for
June Commencement. g.: -:
The cadet Class" Beneficial and
VIII Probably BE Retained
Permanently.
PADUCAH HAS FINE SCHOOLS

The twelfth grade will be the
graduation class this year and prepa-
rations for the commencement are
being made. There will be twenty
graduates this year.
The cadet class, which was started
out as an experiment, has proven
more successful than anticipated.
There are nine regular members and
they meet once every week, Monday
afternoons. The purpose of this
class is to prepare those who really
want to become teachers for their
life work. In this way the manage
ment of the school is able to see Just
what kind of material he has to
draw from. 1t also promotes inter-
est in teaching in Paducah.
Heretofore we have had persons
coming in TO teach who went out
and after failing in other callings,
adopted that of teaching" an off,
cial stated this morning. I'VE do
not want this kind, but want persons
who are interested in the work be-
fore they leave school and who are
willing to work to perfect them
selves. The class this year is small,
but | expect 1t to be larger next year.
There will undoubtedly be an addi-
ffnnn1 fanahnp IN In l. ~.
school department next year and the
work can be so arranged that the
cadet class be made a regular class
in the schools"
The Paducah public schools have
entered well into the work of the
second term. and are in a better con-
dition than ever before. More sue
cessful work in teaching and more
interest is being manifested by both
teacher and pupil than ever before,
and the assertion of an official this
morning that taking It all in all, the
Paducah teaching force could be ia
vorably compared with any city in
the state, is well taken.
The addition of a twelfth grade
and the creation of the cadet
Class" which was taken as an ex-
pertinent at first, has proven a great
benefit. The twelfth grade will re-
main a fixed grade and also will the
cadet class, ii Is understood This
is one very strong point in favor of
the teachers who have struggled for
two years for a general betterment
of the schools.
Taking Lexington, with one-third
more teachers and with one-third |
more revenue to run the schools, and |
yet with but one-ninth more pupils |
than Paducah. and the schools here |
will equal in results the work done |
in Lexington" an official declared |
this morning. The teaching force |
in the schools here is excellent and !
will compare with any force in any
other city in the state, in some will |
show a decided improvement"

DRUGS MAKE PLANTS GROW
Flowers and Vegetables Mature
Quickly Under the Effects
of Ether.

Flowers ana vegetables are drugged
with ether nowadays. They are put in
alright dens and fed on ether for q
or Sc hours until hey become so per-
meated with the fumes that they ma-
ture in about half the time it takes
them TO develop naturally. Stately
Easter lilies treated for "A hours have
put forth magnificent blooms with the
help of warm acetylene light at night,
and narcissus plants have doubled the
size of their flowers after spending a
day and half in the den.
This remarkable method OF forcing
both flowers and vegetables TO matur-
ity has been developed in the horti-
cultural department Of Cornell uni
yersity, Ithaca n. Y.
1t was told to the public for the first
time at the winter exhibition of the
Farmers Institute, in the American
Institute, 10 and p West Forty-fourth
street, by Prof. John Craig, head Of
the horticultural branch of Cornell
1T means a revolution in flowers
and vegetables. this new way of fore
ing them, because they seem to be
stimulated to more perfect maturity
than when they develop naturally"
Prof Craig said BY experiment in
the university we found that the ether
administered in an alright box or den
for "a or 36 hours had a most remark
able yitalizlng effect on certain kinds
of flowers and vegetables
When. in addition to being kept in
the sunlight during the day time, they
were exposed at night to tAe light from
acetylene burners, which seem to have
a spectrum similar in effect to the real
sunshine, thew grew almost riotously.
"Lilacs, for instance will be in
