49, Report Of the Washington
Union School for the week ending
Nov K 1000.
Nov. 5, 1869 :

For the information of those who con.
tend that our rules regarding "unnecessa-
ry absence" one unjust and not sanctioned
by ether law or precedent, we desire to
publish the following; viz For the iaio
on the subject consult that portion of the
School Law, relating to the Power of
Boards Of Education" For precedent we
give extracts from the Rules and Regula-
tions of acknowledged good schools. In
the report of the Chicago schools for the
year ending July 3D., 1868, is the follow
ing, viz; Every pupil who shall be ab-
sent six half days in four consecutive
weeks for other cause than his own or his
family's sickness, or to avoid an impru.
dent exposure of health, shall be suspend
ed. In the application of the foregoing
rule, two tardinesses shall count ns one
absence" In the Cleveland Rules and
Regulations the following occurs, Every
pupil absent more than three half days
during any school month, or tardY more
than three times for any other cause than
sickness or unavoidable detention, shall
be suspended for the remainder of the term
in which the delinquency occurred" In
the Cincinnati Rules we find the follow
ing Ia regard to absence; "lf the cause
shall have been the sickness Of the pupil
or necessary attendance upon sick mem
Der Of the family or death in the family Of
the pupil, the absence shall be excused
lfary pupil is absent more than three
halt days in four consecutive weeks with =
out satisfactory excuse to the teacher, for
any other cause than those permitted |
above, he or she shall without exception
or favor, be suspended from the school"
The conditions upon which the return of |
suspended pupils depend, vary slightly |
in these schools, but in general are similar
to those laid down in our own rules We
m ( ia Id other extracts from the regula- |
tiurs vi other schools in cities, towns and /
villages, but hope the above will be suffi.
nlent for the purpose. Candid and intel |
! igent people will at once recognize the
same necessity for wholesome regulations |
in the Washington School that exists IN
any other town or city, but until the peo-
pie recognize as fact, that the future
morals aud intelligence Of this community /
depends more upon the way in which the |
pupils now in the schools are trained and I
instructed until then, We say our schools
can not take their place, either in the
amount Of good accomplished or in the
minds Of the people US an enlightening
and retolmatory influence. With your
consent, we viii, Messrs Editors, next .
week enumerate few Of the evils result /
ing from the absence ofpupils from school

- The election in Mississippi,
which takes place on Tuesday, the
30th Of this month, is being warmly
contested by the Administration
party on one side and the Dent party
on the other; Gen. AlcOran is the
Administration Candidate for Gov
ernor, and Judge Dent Is what they
call the National Republican par
ty's candidate. A question seems
to have arisen in the contest, as to
whether Judge Dent is eligible
to the office Of Governor even it
he should be elected, as the new
Constitution provides that a candi-
date must have resided in the State
two years preceding the day OF
election. IL is contended by the
Mississippi Pilot and other Re
publcans, that Judge Dent has not
resided in the State the required
time and is therefore Ineligible
we notice that the two candidates
for Governor have agreed to make
several joint discussions before the
election-there will be some hot
shots fired from each battery
