the district now in the town. This
property while entirely unsuited for
school property is by reason of its sit
uatlon (Which is one of the reasons for
its unsuitableness for school purposes)
very valuable for other purposes. The
board has now an offer of $4,000 for a
part of the property which 1t is Offering
TO transfer to the town. Arrangements
could be made by which this town could
borrow money for period of 80 years.
If necessary, and the children who will
receive the benefits could pay the debt
after they have acquired their educa-
ton from the school thus provided for.
and, In the mean time, the town can
have school that will be credit to it.
and that will enhance the value of its
real estate and bring money into the
town each year, as well as save money
from being sent out of the town for
school advantages that ought to be OBJ

providing the buildings the whole cost

towns not nearly so wealthy, or so for

made such provisions as were necessary
to establishlish and maintain their
school, why not Tazewell? We expend
now $454O, of which $500 is tuition.
while $4,000 would maintain the primary
and grammar grades, with two more
teachers than we now have, and also
the high school free of all tuition for
the whole nine months session. What
We need is more grounds and suitable /
and equipment.

Two Important Vacancies
In Teaching Force.

EMBARRASSING FOR SCHOOLS

AS usual the Paducah schools are
embarrassed on the eve OF the fall
term by the resignation OF male
teachers. who have been offered
larger salaries elrewhere. Tonight
Superintendent J. A. Carnagey will
report that T.. J. Gaines. principal Of
the Franklin school, has resigned to
accept the chair of Latin In Shurtleff
college at Upper Alton, ILL.,. and Prof.
Otis Elliott, elected assistant In
mathematics and science In the High
school. has resigned TO accept the
principalship Of a township high
school In Indiana at 800 the month.
Professor Carnagey says reports
from Kentucky colleges declare that
there never before was fe,t such a
demand for high class instructors.
and Paducah. 1t appears, is not offer
ing the prevailing price for pedagogi-
lcal talent. 1t Is expected that an
applicant from owenton. Ky. will be
present at the school board meeting
tonight. and Professor Carnagey
probably will receive a wire from a
prospective applicant for the other
position before night.
II has been the policy here TO Sc
|cure male teachers for certain OF the
positions. ON account OF a we'll un-
derstood need OF boys of certain
age for instructors of their own sex.
There is a stage IN their development
when their best interests require the
guidance OF masculine mind. not
on account of the comparative teach
ing ability OF women and men. but
on account OF the nature OF a boy.
Appreciation OF this necessity has
cost the superintendent considerable
extra worry. because salaries are not
up 10 the average.
