Superintendent Finds 1t Diff,
cult to Fill Vacancy.
TEACHERS MEET NEXT WEEK

Further delay in the modern Ian
guage department OF the High school
was occasioned this morning by the
resignation of Miss Susan e. Smith.
the modern language teacher for the
lpast three years. Miss Smith wrote
a letter OF acceptance of the position
to Superintendent Carnagey this sum
mer, and he believed she would re-.
turn this session. She went to Ger
many for special work and did not
report when the schools were opened.
A letter was received by Superintend-
ent Carnagey saying she was III but
would be in Paducah in a few days.
Nothing more was heard until the
letter was received this morning, an
nouncing her resignation and that
she would leave for the west for her
health In a few days.
Owing TO the time OF the resigna-
ton Superintendent Carnagey be-
lieves that he will have a difficult
task in securing a competent teacher.
During the summer several applica-
ltions were. received, but they were
turned down, as Miss Smith had ac-
cepted the place. This morning Super
intendent Carnagey went through the
files and sent kilograms asking the
teachers to accept the place. II Is
hoped to have a teacher in the place
as soon as possible At present Ger
man and French are not being taught
in the High school.
No Cadet Glass.
From the present indications there
will not be any cadet class in the
public schools. as there has been
only. one applicant. and unless there
are as many as five applications,
Superintendent carnagey can not
take the time for the class. Last
year an unusually successful class
was had >and plenty or substitutes
could be secured. but this year all OF
the old members have been elected
to regular positions. and Superintend-
|ent Carnagey will have to depend
upon new material. Miss Lula Il.
Cochran. one of the new teachers in
the, Longfellow building. was III to-
day and Miss Bessie Smed,ey was
substitute.
Teachers Meeting.
Beginning next Monday and con-
ltinuing for four days Superintendent
Carnagey win have a (eries OF teach
ers' meetings at thd High school,
where the work for the week will be

Half Fare Tickets.
Arrangements. have been completed
for the issuance OF half fare tickets
for school children on school days by
the traction company. Previously a
card with a description OF the child
was given and II was necessary to
have the card when tickets were pur-
chased and when the fare was coll
lected. This year an improvement
has been made and a card signed by
the superintendent, and the principal
of the building is needed when the
tickets are purchased, but not when
the fare is collected. The tickets will
be sold 10 for 25 cents and will be
saving OF many dollars to the school
children during the session.
Another room In the High school
is being tinted and made more at
tractive by the High school boys.
This morning the lads donned over
ais and with the brush painted the
room of Miss Anna Bird Stewart

at the High school. Despite the at
Traction of the races the High school
boys have been out in their suits
ready for practice. No scrlmmages
have been engaged in yet. Nine new
suits have been ordered. which win
make FL football suits.
