GRADED SCHOOL
OPENS With LARGE
ENROLMENT.
New Teachers Added To Efficient Corps

The Lancaster Graded School opened
Monday with an enrolment of 400,
which is expected to increase during
the week. The school is one of the
county's most valuable assets and many
families have moved here to avail them
selves of the opportunity of having
their children receive a common school
education second to none in Central
Kentucky.
| The opening exercises were conduct
ed by Prof. Cancer, who called upon
several of the teachers for short talks.
Miss Robinson responded, asking for
cooperation on the part of the parents.
and this was emphasized by the other
teachers. Several members OF the
Board of Trustees also spoke.
Our towr has little ambition as a
manufacturing center. There is a
vast amount of enterprise. but it mani
tests insef not SO much in promoting
wild cat plunges as in developing
the things that make for the best home
town. The concerns and interests that
center in the home, the circumstances
and influences that constitute a desir-
able environment for the home--these
are the elements that should be most
assiduously cared for by those who
have the future growth of the city at
heart
Certainly adequate and varied pro-
visiolI for education is a price requisite
from the point of view of the home.
The home means children and children
demand schools, and a town which
claims to offer unique advantages to
home lovers must possess not average
but superative school facilities. What
ever else is stinted the school must be
well cared for. Those who today have
the school in their charge can not eX-
actly see the form that will be assumed
a quarter of a century hence, but they
have it in their power to hasten OF
seriously impede the brilliant educational
future. The highest development of
the schools in the year ahead is largely
conditioned by those in authority doing
their duty by the schools today.
Those in authority" does not mere
! ly mean teachers and trustees. bu
e every patron. Illiterscy, sordid aims
a ignoble standards, picayunish policy
e will cramp the work and delay, perhap
/. prevent, the future development tina
f is within the range of possibility. LIE
v the teachers and trustees continue t
e build with their best wisdom and liber
;. atty and the future will look well afte
|. the records.
o A saying of Confucius bids US tax
S the future as our consellor and do to
n days duty in the light of future posi-
r bilities. Those who direct the futur
of the schools of Lancaster and Garrar
!, County and the people whose wishe
d they execute, will do well to ask them

It twenty, thirty wears from now. Eve
V if the question can be answered bu
s. vagely, hints may be obtained as to tn
n probable lines of development, whic
l. will make present duty the clearer.
