PANAMA SCHOOL WORK.
Some Statistics Regarding Schools In
Charge of Mr. O'Connor.
The Dally Star and Herald published
nt Panama speaks as follows of the
canal zone schools now under the dt-
ection of Superintendent O'Connor ,
ormerly at the head of the city
schools of Norfolk :
"The attendance and enrollment for
bo Canal /one public schools for the
nonth of March has boon received by
Executive Secretary Reed. This little
mo-sheet document will Interest every
) iie having the least concern In the
success of educational work , being as
mportant as many that go before the
executive secretary and through him
o the attention of the canal commis
sion.
"According to this report , out of a
total enrollment of 1,724 children hi
the public schools of the zone , the
iverage dally attendance during March
was 1,227. In the twenty-eight schools
of the Canal /.one there are 101 male
white children and 7G1 colored boys.
The white girls number 78 and the
colored girls 781.
"The average attendance In the
schools of the zone Is a very good
guage by which to judge the amount
of Interest the parents of the zone
take In the school work and amount
of enthusiasm the teachers instill into
the pupils themselves. At the Le Boca
school the March report shows the
average daily attendance has been
within one or two of the total number
enrolled. At Pedro Miguel the March
figures show the average number of
pupils attending has been within one
of all on the school roll. Satisfactory
results have also been given at Taber-
nllla , Bohlo , San Pablo and Gorgona.
"At Las Sabanas and the points
where the little ones have to travel
long distances to the school house ,
the enthusiasm seems to be just as
great , the reports showing that more
than half of the enrolled pupils have
always been In attendance. "
