ATTRACTIVE PROGRAMS
Mark The Closing OF The Lancaster
Graded And High Schools.
Professor Cancer To Retire.

With the closing exercises the Public
school of Lancaster ends one OF its best
and most successful years. Among the
many able principals of this school,
none have advanced it more rapidly. or
are entitled to more credit for its pres
ent high standing than Professor Ca
neer. For the past three years he has
been at the head of the school and
these years have been the brightest
and most successful in the history of
school life of Lancaster. Professor
Cancer is by nature and education an
instructor. He put his whole heart
and life into his school work. He has
had years of experience and pilots a
school in smooth waters without fric-
ton with either his teachers or pupils.
A more practical, thorough school man
would be hard to find and those who
have had the honor of receiving diplom-
as from his hapds can be assured they
merited them and have received an
education that is solid and substantial.
1t is with regret we see Professor
Cancer and his most estimable wife
leave Lancaster, but we know our loss
will be some other towns gain.
The exercises of the different de-
partments of this school sttested the
high order of our teachers and their
methods of teaching. The students Of
expression under Mrs. Todd showed
splendid, careful and painstaking train
ing. The Evening of Plays" giver
on Saturday evening under her super
vision. was most enjoyable, each one
taking part rejecting credit not only
upon themselves, but Mrs. Todd.
Tho Baccalaureate address Sunday by
DR.. Garfield, of Centre College, was a
rare treat and will be found printed in
full elsewhere in this paper.
The piano recitals given by Miss
Webb proved that the teaching Of
music had not been overlooked but was
up to the high standard of the other
departments. The parents of the music
pupils say that MISS Webb is most
thorough. conscientious and diligent in
the discharge of her duties, requiring
work and thoroughness from her pupils.
After the recital Tuesday evening she
presented y number Of prizes as re-
wards for practiclng the required time.
Wednesday afternoon the pupils Of
Misses Anderson and Brashear enter
tanned and pleased crowded auditor
ium. The address to the graduates
and awarding Of diplomas Wednesday
evening by Or. ]. l.. Hill Of George
town, was another treat Of oratory.
II was polished. impressive and splen-
didly received by the large audience.
These various exercises that marked
the closing of this school year have
claimed the whole attention and interest
of the community this week. Alto
gether they show an excellent record
under Professor Cancer and his able
efficient corps Of teachers.
