HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

BOURBON county made great gain
IN the number of children who took
entrance examination for High
school. Last Friday and Saturday
seventy-four Bourbon county boys
and girls took the examination al
the City High School. In January
thirty-one took the same -examiua-
} ton. This makes a total of one
hundred and five for this year, as
compared to seventy-one last year.
1t is believed that Bourbon will lead
The State in the number taking this
county examination. This Increase
is due largely to a county survey
that has been going on for some
time.
County commencement for all
these graduates will be held in the
Paris City School auditorium on
June 9, at 10000 a. m. This prom
ises to be the largest class ever
graduated in Bourbon county, and
promises to be one of the most inter-
esting programs. We hope that the
mothers and fathers and the friend;
of every graduate will get ready
now to attend this commencement
Let us make it the greatest educa-
tional event the county has ever had
Who can measure the value of these
los county children?
