Cairo's Foundation.

GalFO FOUNDATIONS
One should rejoice TO see the
moral awakening there is in Cairo, as
manifested by the mob when the
courts proved too weak, and at pres
ent by the league of fifty business
men. by the press. the pulpit and Mr..
Hurts big bible class. These are
good signs, which indicate that the
coral foundation Of the city is all
right and will be kept so, For the
ctys growth, however, We must not
rest everything ON moral conditions
alone The saloons may be closed
on Sunday and every other day, and
Mr.. Hurts class may embrace every
man in the city. but the physical
needs of the town must not he lost
sight OF. The moral foundation will
not supply the place Of a physical
foundation
, Look well to the levees and drain
age Defects in either that would
permit leakages to partly flood the
city would retarJ its growth greatly
THE drainage district is now virtually
Ia part Of the city and must be pro-
Itected as such, This makes the terri
/ tory to be guarded in food times
large. There is a long line of leyees
to maintain and watch and much high
water drainage to attend TO, In these
facts lies the physical foundation of
Cairo. Secure full and permanent
confidence Of home people and the
country at large in this and Cairo'S

become not the third city but the

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Supt. T. c, Clendenen returned last
Friday from Springfield where he at
tended the 57th annual convention of
the Illinois Teachers Association at
the capitol building last week The
estimated number of teachers in at.
Tendance was 1882 and the meeting
I will go down as the best in the past
| 25 years. For the first time in the
history of the organization woman
was elected to till the presidency,
Mrs Ella Flagg Young, city superin,
tendent of the Chicago school being
1.-THE successful candidate. Another de
! parture from the custom that has al
ways prevailed was the selection Of
| some other city rather than Spring
field for the scene of the next meet
| ing and Chicago will have the honor
of entertaining the assrmblage next
year. The Imperial Quartette of Chi
tcago furnished music for the session
as it has regularly done for the past
% years. Among the matters that
lcame before the convention We're:
Temperance laws as taught in the
schools: opposition to the state uni
iformity of text books; resolutions
fpassed in regard to putting the school
interests of the state ON a par with
the best in the country; commenda
|tion of proposed school legislation
THAT was favorably dwelt upon in
congress, A protest was also fled
against the appropriation Of money
by congress from the federal treasury
for the George Washington tTniver.
sity because the same is sectarian
land a resolution was also adopted
commenting the work of the National
Red Cross Society in preventing the
Ispread of the dreaded tuberculosis.
/ Among the most important of the
different individual sessions was that
of the county and city superintend
tents. This body takes active Interest
lin any proposed school legislation
and all legislative matters pass their
iscrutiny. One Of the principal tributes
Iat the memorial service held Wedne5
iday during the session was that Nj.
