SCHOOL REPORT.
OF SUPT. LIEB
Tells of Condition of Schools
Under Present Board
Spares Nothing i'm Presentation o
Facts and Refers To Friends
OF Schools.
INTERESTING RECORD FILED

In his annual report received by
the school board last night Superin-
tendent Lieb refers to the effort to
establish manual training, which was
fostered two years and then allowed
to drop by this board, through fall
ure to make an appropriation; the
need for night schools, the advanta-
ges Of a cadet class and higher train
ing for teachers; and he thanks
those members of the board who
have had the Interests of the school
at heart, the woman's club. the min
listers and the High school alumni
and the teachers and principals for
their support of the schools.
He said in part:
owing to the obstruction policy
OF one half the membership of the
board OF education. which prevented
the election of one-third of the teach
ers of the city schools TIL three days
before their opening last September.
and the consequent uncertainty in
the minds of citizens In all walks OF
life as to what would actually be the
result, and whether the schools
would be open at the appointed time,
the schools began work September
10, 1906. under none too suspicious
conditions.
Without presuming to pass upon
the sincerity or wisdom of tho acts
of these members. which brought
about consequences SO serious that
the county judge. unsought by me,
addressed a communication to this
Office under date of September z,
1905, which communication set forth
in no doubtful terms what he con-
sidered it my duty to do: without, /
say, presuming to question motives,
the fact cannot be gainsaid that the
success Of the school year, then to be.
gin. was impaired even before its be-
ginning. The teacher Of English for
the departmental grammar classes

result could easily have been fore

SAME OLD STORY
OF CAR SHORTAGE
Situation Promises to be No
Different From That of For
mer Years. Coal Companies
are Hampered
OTHER PEOPLE FEELING 1T.

Prospects Of a car shortage more
severe than the one last winter are
already beginning to loom up. Coal
dealers are particularly interested
In how this problem will be solved by
the railroad, but several mines that
supply local dealers have sent out let.
ters asking the local dealers to store
all the coal they have room for in
their yards.
At this season of the year the coal
trade is good and many people are
laying in the years supply, and local
dealers find it impossible to keep
more than a car or two on hand now.
In the letter sent to a local dealer the
mine owner said it was impossible to
get cars enough for the moderate de-
mand made on them now. Paducah
being situated on the river cannot be
absolutely shut off from the supply.
but dealers are in a pinch when the
railroads cease to bring in coal.
This shortage does not affect only
the coal men, but all other shippers
as we'll as the building of the new
school buildings has been delayed by
shortage of cars and the joists could
not be shipped.
The coal dealers are putting 1t be-
fore their patrons the necessity OF
buying early, while the weather. is
good, and so as to alleviate the de-
mand in the autumn.
