Lancaster School Opens On Monday With
Increase Attendance, And Splendid
Prospects For A Prosperous
School Year.

The Lancaster school opened on last
Monday morning and if the interest
manifested by both parents and pupils
may be taken as an indication, this will
be the most successful year in its
history. The large auditorium was
filled to its capacity with the citizens
interested in the cause Of education and
the patrons of the school. all anxious
to witness the opening ceremonies in
the new building, and to show their
interest and appreciation, and to give
assurance of their support and coopera-
ton during the school year. Something
of an informal dedicatory service had
been arranged. and this service added
materially to the interest of the OPEN
ing day of school, The following
impromptu program was carried out:
Mr.. 5. d. Cochran, president of the
Board of Trustees, presided at the
ceremonies.
Presentation of handsome Bible
donated by Board of Education, by Mr..
j. w. Elmore.
Invocation by Rev. ]. w. EldriJge of
Paint Lick.
Prof. Cancer, the Newly chosen
Principal, paid eloquent tribute to Prof.
ID. w. Bridges, one time Principal of
tho school; Prof. Cancer also made an
Impressive plea for the hearty coopera-
ton of the parents and public with the
trustees and faculty, pointing to the
fact that the success or failure of the
schools of the community were a by no
means uncertain reflection of public
opinion.
County Attorney ]. E. Robinson made
short talk upon the appreciation
which should be given the school work
by the public, adding his plea for
cooperation in the school work.
Rev. j. Rockwell Smith gave an
interesting talk, taking for his theme
influence.
Short and appropriate talks were also
made by Revs. Pollitt, Beagle and
Eldridge, and the large number of
people present and the amount of
interest manifested points very clearly
to the fact that the cause of education
has aroused more interest than ever
before in the history of the county, and
it is safe to predict that the patrons
will give their hearty cooperation to
Prof. Cancer and his assistants in their
laudable efforts to give to Lancaster
one of the best schools in Kentucky.
The increased number of pupils on
opening day also added materially to
the prospects for the success of the
school. there being 912 pupils as against
2S5 on the opening day Of last year, and
this too in the face of an unfounded
rumor of diptheria in the community.
AS for this rumor, We feel perfectly
safe in stating that it is wholly without
foundation, and no parents fear to
start their children into school on this
account. A thorough canvass of the
community failed to unearth case of
this disease in the city limits, and
while there may be case or two in the
county, they are convalescent, and have
been so guarded as to preclude the
possibility of contagion. There is
expected to be material increase in
the number of pupils at the school on
next Monday.
The new building IS a marvel of
beauty, convenience and everyone who
has visited the school are loud in the
praise of this splendidly equipped build
ing.
