The teachers Of the Cairo public
schools had their first regular weekly
meeting since school opened yester-
day afternoon at the high school
building. The meeting was presided
over by Superintendent Clendenen
and the teachers were given their sup
plies and also their text books. Ar
engagements were made for all teach
ers of the first and second grades
throughout the city to meet this after
noon at Stafford school to discuss mat
tiers of much Importance
Yesterday morning Just before
school convened at the, Cairo high
school Coach Bergman made short
talk, in which he complimented the
boys of the baseball team for their
1,ctory over Mound --ity on Saturday.
He also spoke highly of the treatment
the Cairo boys received at the hands
OF the Mound City team and also of
the good will existing between the
two schools.
