SEEKING FOR THE REMEDY
Teechers Try to Figure a Plan to Prevent
Tardiness in Schools ,
MUCH OF THE BLAME ATTACHES TO PARENTS
Prof , llnjilon Declarer ! Hat
mill Motlierri , for tinISooil of the
Children , Slum Id Co-Oior-
ntc HU Him.
A matter that Is giving Superintendent
Hayden nnd the principals of the various
schools moro or less concern Is the Increas
ing number of cases of tardiness among the
pupils. At the commencement of the year
nn effort was made to overcome this nnd
Inducements In the way of half holldaja
wore held out to the rooms showing the
fewest number of cases of tardiness during
the month. This appears to have worked
with some satisfaction , as In January the
cases of tardiness dropped off from C53 in
December to 428. Still the latter number
Is considered altogether too many , nnd Prof ,
Ha > den Is looking about for some means
to remedy It. Ho believes that It the parents
of the pupils would take the matter up- and
co-operato with the principals nnd teachan
there would not be nearly so many cages.
' 'So long as the parents show nn Indiffer
ence , It Is hardly to be expected , " says Su
perintendent Harden , "that the child will
be concerned whether ho or she Is late for
school or not. "
In his report to the Board of Education
nt the meeting last Monday night Superin
tendent Hayden said : "An Inspection of the
reports of the last few jears shows that
tardiness and absence have Increased stead
ily. A special effort Is being made at pres
ent to overcome this , and special induce
ments are being offered to those rooms whore
a high per cent of punctuality and attend
ance Is maintained , and ns n result wo are
nblo to report a decrease of 125 In the total
amount of tardiness In the fifth month , as
compared with the preceding month. The
schools need the more active co-operation
of the parents on this point. "
In the same report , Superintendent Hay-
deu gives the statistics showing the attend
ance in the schools for the fifth month of
the school year. The following are shown :
Total number enrolled for the fifth month ,
1,725 ; fourth month , 4,678 ; monthly enroll
ment for the fifth month , 4,150 ; fourth
month , 4,291 ; average dally attendance for
fifth month , 3,474 ; fourth month , 3,651. The
decrease In the dally attendance Is at
tributed to the prevalence of measles and
grip among the children. Referring to the
promotions nt the beginning of this month ,
being the commencement of the second
semester , Superintendent Hayden sajs In his
report :
"Since rendering my last monthly report
wo have passed the regular time for semi
annual promotions , nnd In "accordance with
the custom In vogue In our schools all pupils
who have completed the work of their sev
eral classes have been promoted to the
next higher. We Insist upon a thorough
mastery of the essentials of each grade before -
fore promoting. The basU on which promo
tions have been made has been the ability
of the pupil to do the work of the next
higher grade or class. The teacher is dl-
, rccted In forming her Judgment on this
point , to consider , not only the pupil's dally
work nnd written tests , but also the quality
of the effort that he has put forth and his
interest In his work. "

pastor of the church , made a short address
in which ho exhorted the people to bo up
ind ilolog and Attorney James McCabe also ,
talked on the subject nnd objects of the
league. Ho complained of the laxity shown
by church people generally In demanding
the enforcement of laws and during the
course of his talk took occasion to give
the major nnd city authorities a gcntlo rub
bing down. Referring to a statement said
to have been made by Major Jennings that
If the church people would put up the money
that the city was deriving from the gambling
houses he would close them , Mr. McCabe
said that If the mayor really did make such
a statement ho was a fool. Ho said the people
ple generally , ho believed , were In favor
of having the law enforced ns to saloons
and gambling houses nnd that such being
the case the mnyor and city council , who
wore but servants ol the people , should see
to It that It was.

In police court yesterday morning Judge
Aylesworth continued the cases of Ida
Truesdalo and Belle Pillows , the two col
ored women charged with the larceny of
$115 from the person of a white man giving
the name of John Hamilton. Their bonds
were fixed at $500 each. All the stolen
money , with the exception of $5 , has been
recovered. When arrested $90 was found In
possession of the Truesdale woman and
Monday night the police recovered $20 moro
from a colored porter In this city to whom
she had given $25 of the money before skip
ping to Omaha. So far "Hamilton" has filed
no complaint against the women and the be
lief Is that having recovered his money he
will bo glad to let the matter drop. The
police authorities still refuse to make
known the man's Identity , although they
claim to bo much annoyed at his apparent
unwillingness to prosecute the women.
Both of the women have been repeatedly
arrested on charges of a similar nature ,
but owing to the unwillingness of their vic
tims to prosecute have escaped punish
ment. In this Instance tbo evidence Is con
clusive and there appears to be nothing to
prevent the women from going to the peni
tentiary If the case Is prosecuted.
