Program.

In the aftermath OF the Paduca
debate of last week several thing
have been noticed and resulted frol
this happy minsling OF the two hie
schools, AS every one knows, abo,
CD Of Padueah's school teachers, bot
grammar and high school, came
Cairo on that day. They came I
syisit and inspect the Cairo school
land see the method OF teaching in tn
local school. OF course they notice
other things too and these probahl
Ileft the most impression on thki
minds.
/ At c. H. s. it was general common
among the visitors that the local hig
was far superior to theirs and on
of the best they ever had the pleasur
fof seeing. Everything from TIL,
clean and sanitary conditions OF tn,
building to the completeness OF ever
| department was favorably spoken 0
land this must necessarily reflect mucl
| credit on the local Board OF Education
and also upon the heads of tn,
school
One thing that was particularly no
ticed by one OF the visitors, Mr.. Car
Inagey. superintendent Of the Paducal
schools, viz: the excellent condition
OF the desks, chairs and general be
longings Of the schools This shows
how students are brought up In the
Cairo schools to regard public prop
erty.
The visitors to the grammar schools
had the same impression and they
went home satisfied that the Cairo
educational institutions fulfilled every
promise.
They derived much pleasure ana
profit from their visit and Cairo
profited from the opinion they formed
of our most excellent schools.
Then from a pleasure standpoint
The gathering Of the visitors at the
various local schools served to bring
about a social standing that will
never be broken Caro's hospitality
was clearly exemplified as it always
Is On such occasions, and the Padu
eahans found a welcome that Cairo
always extends. They spoke Of this
especially and said ii they ever have
a chance to return the same in the fu-
ture as only true Kentuckians can.
AS the real interest OF the occasion
centered around the debate it is in
teresting to note what profitable in
duence this spread.
As regards the victory it succeeded
in placing Cairo high in more favor
able light than ever before In the
hearts and minds of Cairo people A
debate takes earnest and continued
preparation and especially upon the
question that was argued on this oc-
casion. And it isn't every person
that can get up before a large as
semblake and talk upon question
that is SO world wide in its bearings.
So Cairo high and its two debative
representatives, Dwight, Ohrum and
Tennyson Goldsmith deserve the
praise OF the whole community. The
triumph itself has given G. H. s.
probably the best advertisement from
an intellectual standpoint than the
whole school could obtain in any other
way.
