l have the honor of submitting til

l have the honor of submitting the
annexed tabular report Of the Public
Schools Of Mexico for the month en-
ding November Esd, 1877
BY a comparison of this report with
those hitherto submitted, il will be
perceived there is an increased at.
tendance throughout most of the de-
partments of the school, although
there is a falling off in one or two of
the lower grades, This may be very
readily accounted for when the in
clement weather of the past month
and 8 ckness is taken into considera-
ton.
1t will also be perceived that there
is a marked increase Iva the percen-
tage Of attendance, regularity, schol-
arship and department. For this
gratifying exhibit, / am greatly in
debted to our excellent corps of
teachers, who have seconded my sug-
gestions with the most commendsble
earnestness and fidelity, and who
have shawn a high degree Of prof.
cheney in. their respective depart
ments.
ATTENDANCE.
The papers on file in the Office of
the County Commissioner, show an
enumeration of seven hundred and
thirty-ive children between the ages
of six and twenty. Out of that num-
Der, ove Ave hundred have been en-
rolled in the Public School curing the
present school year. or nearly 40 per-
cent of the entire number entitled to
its benefits. When we take into con-
sideration the fact that many are in
attendance at private schools, and
also that many between the ages OF
sixteen and twenty are engaged in
the advocations of life, the above ex-
hibit is a most gratifying testimonial
in behalf of the educational interest
manifested by the people of your
city. 4

Too much pains cannot be taken
to prevent hardness on the part of
pupils. Not only docs it interfere
with the apparent ucc ola school,
but it is forming a habit which will
be an injury through life. So i'm
portant a virtue is .promptitude, that
1t is scarcely exaggeration to say,
that there can be no solid success
without it. 1t is tolers5ly safe te
say that the child who il habitually,
or even frequently late at school, viii
be late on important occasions in af
ter years, and in SO doing will sacri'
flee his own interests and those o
others. To overcome these evils a,
far; as possible, the teachers have
been requested to confer with parents
when practicable, in cases of absence
or hardness, and 10 far it has beer
attended with the best results.
s ~ seiiooE VISITS.
The very nature OF our work re
quires that there should be earnes
and sincere cooperation on the par
OF parents and teachers. To thi
end. parents and others are requestes
TO. visit the school at any and al
times, for in no other way can th,
same n~nanimity of thought and pur
pose be secured 90 we'll as by person
al observation and conference.
The Superintendent will always re
gard it Is one OF the greatest favors
to have an opportunity of consultinI
with parents in regardt to the advance
ment and general welfare Of thei
children, aud more especially, wheI
any grievances may arise, would b
urge that they be promptly and freel
made known 10 him, In order to se
cure their proper adjustment.

The Russian attempt to made Sedan
of the present battle of Plevna is being
met by resistance on the par, of the
Turks that leaves the issue of the contest
still in doubt. The attack was begun on
last Friday, with simultaneous assault
on the town from all sides. The Russians
had made every possible preparation TO
make the blow crushing one, and had
even drawn from their already weakened
Rasgrad army in order to give the Czare-
witch overwhelming odds against Osman
Pasha. Yet assault after assault has
been repulsed by the Turks and the first
important success, the capture of the
Grivica redoubt commanding the town,
was not accomplished till Tuesday even-
ing. According to the latest dispatches
the fighting had been renewed on We'd
nesday. The Russians admit that the
carnage has been frightful. For six days
therefore, this struggle-unquestio
the most momentous event of the war
has been in progress. and though the is
sue would not be doubtful if only these
two combatants, Osman Pasha's army
cerned, there are the almies of Mehemet
All anu Oulclludu dSiJd W Uc COiloluSIcu
The latter is said to have crossed the
Balkans five days ago, and, if that is true
should by this time be in communication
with Mehemet Ali. 1t was reported last
week that the latter was making flank
movement to the north, and that the at
tacks Oh the Lower Lom and in the
neighborhood of Biela were made by his
corps. He has had ample time since
then to move his entire army to that
neighborhood. 1t is noticeable that the
Russian dispatches have made no men,
ton of the operations in this direction
for some days.. and it may be that after
straining every nerve to bring about the
complete destruction of Osman Pasha at
plevna, the Russians will find them
selves confronted with new danger at
.Sistova, no less, indeed. than the whole
army of Mehemet Ali threatening their
line of communication with that town
and the neighboring bridges across the
Danube. oI r.=

TO PRESERVE AUTUMN LEAVES

Press the leaves carefully between
newspapers, taking care to avoid tapping
out the leaves and dry the papers. Put
the leaves again in press and the next
day repeat the drying process. This
should be done three orJour times until
all the moisture is extracted from the
leaves. This is troblesome, but the re-
suit will be brilliant. If the face of each
leaf after the first pressing is brushed
over with sulphuric acid diluted one-half
with water the color will he still brighter.
Do not wax or varnish the leaves, as 1t
gives them an unatural gloss. They can
be made into sprays or garlands by means
of the fine wire which florists use, twisted
around their stems. ,.-.,.N\ f
