Last night again at its regular ses-
sion the board of control continued its
record as the star debating organiza-
tion of the city. At 1890 o'clock, or
two hours and thirty-five minutes from
the beginning of the session. one of
the first orders of business, the reports
of committees, had not been finished
and the meeting adjourned.
The pay roll of teachers and suhsti-
tutes for November. amounting to Sl5,-
079.i7, was approved.
Martin Joyce. attendance officer sub
mitted written report of eleven pages
of his work during November. He had
distributed among the principals the
registration books furnished by the
county commissioners and supposed to
contain the names of all children elig-
iblc TO school study between the ages
of and 13 years. The books did not
contain a complete registration, but
Officer Joyce had ascertained the num-
Der of absenteeS through a system of
checking by the teachers and through
Information furnished by then. He
had found many children between the
ages of and 13 on the streets and had
taken them To the nearest school house.
In many cases it appeared that these
truants had been enrolled at the be
ginning of the term.
Several pages were devoted to a COM
ment upOr what officer Joyce thought
good or bad provisions of the act under
which he is serving. This drew from
Mir. WOrmser a statement that the at
tendance officers duty was not to give
expression to his opinions, but to as
certain the school attendance and tru-
ancy. President Jennings suggested in
asmuCh as it was an initial report that
it be- received with patience.
