A Gratifying Showing Made by
Public School Pupils.
Total Enrolment For the FIRST Term
just Closed Was 3,I30-Av-
erage Attendance, 1855.
SECOND TERN BEGINS MONDAY.

The first term of the Paducah
rublic schools closed yesterday ana
the second will begin Monday The
first term was successful in every
particular and the percentage OF
failures is small. a fact very crafty
ing to the teachers.
While all the figures necessary to
arrive at a definite estimate, are not
in, Supt. Leib stated he did not think
the failures would exceed 10 pei
cent, a small percentage. The fail
ures are not confined to any particu-
lsr department, but scattered about
in all grades and departments.
There is but one way We can
compare work of teachers and pu-
pills." Supt. Leib stated this morn
ing, "and this is in the seventh
grade. Pupils come to the High
school building to go into the sew
enth grade except in the Franklin
district, where a separate grade is
maintained. The seventh grade be-
gins the departmental work and pu-
pills who come into II from other
schools are given chance to show
what they have been doing. In this
way the work of the teachers can be
compared. | shall carefully look in
to this particular grade in order to
u axe a comparison OF the work OF
teachers in different schools"
The closing month of the first
term showed total enrolment OF
S.439 pupils, 2.527 being whites and
S12 colored. The total average at
tendance for the month was 2,SS5,
pupils, 2,162 white and 723 colored.
This shows slight falling OF OF col
ored pupils but slight increase in
whites over the previous year.
The figures are said TO be a little
on the increase over last year.
Monday the auditorium will be
filled for the first time since it was
brought into use as a study room.
The auditorium formerly seated but
14S pupils, but since the A Eighth
grade, known as the sub-freshinan.
was added to the High school depart
ment, and with the regular pupils
promoted from the old A Eighth
grade into the Ninth will be more
than enough to fill the seats in the
auditorium. In fact. more seats had
to be added and the total seating ca
pacity is now 230. 1t is thought
that next year the south end of the
auditorium which is set aside fol
cloaks, wraps, etc. will be brought
into use. The walls can be remov-
cd with little trouble and give more
floor space.
Mrs. Kate Stuart, who has beef
conducting a private kindergarten
here, has been given place In the
schools as teacher of the Third grade
at the High school building She
takes the place of Miss Clara Ander-
son who had to resign and go to St
Louis to be treated for bronchial
trouble. Mrs Stuart will begin hei
new duties Monday

THE LIGHT QUESTION

The general public has been dis
satisfied with Paducah's street light.
ing service ever since the city in.
stalled its secondhand plant sever
al years ago. One cause of the dis
satisfaction was the fewness of the
lights, another was the inferiority OF
the lights, and still another. the fact
that on some nights the lights dc
not shine at all, and on other nights
do not shine but few hours, on ac-
count of the moons being up. This
latter is known as the moonlight
schedule"
The dissatisfaction still exists
This is the situation that confronts
the people, and their representatives
in office. II is obvious that the city
needs more lights. There are nov
Iarts of the city that are scarcely
lighted at all. Paducah has 16G
street lights, and smaller cities like
Greensboro and Henderson have 250
and $50. They have lights on ever
corner and in some localities in the
middle of the blocks. Paducah needs
more lights, cheaper lights, and bet
ter lights, and the only question Is
how to get them, ser, rs
The general public will no doubt
indorse any plan by which Paducah
can get more lights, better lights
and cheaper lights IL will not in
dorse. we believe, any other plan.
and we do not believe there is any
man connected with the city govern
ment who would for a moment sane
ton any other plan.
Members of the board of works
although about s25, 900 has been in
vested in It, declare that the city
could not get $1,000 for its entire
light plant. They also say that the
lights during the past year cost the
city $50 each, and for a moonlight
schedule" at that. There were nights
the lights did not shine at all, be-
cause the moon according to the
calendar) was up. The city should
have cheaper lights and better
light service. If the lights can be
obtained by the city for less money
than the city has been spending,
they should be obtained. and should
have been obtained cheaper last year
and every other year. They should
be obtained cheaper now, and in the
years to come. The only qestion is
how to do it. What the city wants
is a plan by which she can get the
best possible service at the least pos
sible cost, and we believe that It
makes no difference where the SER
vice comes from, If it fills the bill it
will be what the public is looking
for.
So far as the proposition made by
a private corporation to furnish the
city lights by contract is concerned,
the members of the legislative boards
are doubtless able to dispose of it in
proper manner, and their standing
as progressive citizens and success
full business men is such as to insure
prompt action, and a solution of the
problem in such manner as to con-
serve the best interests OF the city

THE RATE BILL.
Ia Toilette Says II Has Not a Leg
to Stand On.

United States Senator r. A. La Fol
lette, OF Wisconsin. made an address
before the Indiana Chautauqua Satur-
day afternoon 10 an audience of about
5000 people. He created a sensa-
ton by making an indirect attack
upon United States Senator James
A. Hemenway, OF Bonneville, Ind.
who introduced the Wisconsin sen.
ator, and who occupied seat on
the platform during the speaking.
Senator La Toilette spoke of sew
eral amendments he had introduced
in the senate 10 the railroad rate
bill, and called the roll of the sena-
tors who voted for and against the
amendments.
Senator La Toilette said there was
4 right and wrong side to every
question, and he never believed in
compromise when the question of
right was at stake. He said the
rate bill did not have single leg
on which to stand, and il would
have been better had the bill not
been passed.
He said there was no way under
the measure TO fix the standard Of
values and the government will not
be able TO tell what a reasonable
railroad rate" is

Glass That Keeps Out Heat

An Austrian inventor, Richard SZig-
mondy. is reported to have made new
kind of window glass whose chief pc
.uliarity is that 1t prevents the pass
age of nine-tenths of the heat of the
suns rays.
1t is we'll known that ordinary win
dow glass allows nearly all of the heat
derived from the sun to pass through,
out, on the other hand, intercepts all
heat coming from non-luminous
sources, such as stove or the heated
ground. This is the reason why heat
accumulates under the glass roof OF a
dollhouse.
If covered with Szigmondy's glass a
dollhouse would, it is claimed, become
4 cold house, since the heat could not
get into il. One advantage set forth
in favor of the new glass is that a
house whose windows were furnished
with it would remain delightfully."- cool
In summer. But in winter, perhaps,
The situation would not be SO agreeable.
