followed by still more striking one.

uucsted Mr.. Barrett to convey to Pres

tion of the generous attitude of the

SCHOOL PROBLEMS.
Compulsory Law and Transportation
of Pupils.

Denver, Aug. 3O.-In his annual re-
port to the Board of Education of Dis
trict No. / EAST Denver), Superin-
tendent Cove says:
THE compulsory school law, al
though inadequate and needing amend
ing, has demonstrated that the boys
and girls can be brought into school by
competent effort. The board has main
tanned a school attendance officer,
whose duties are prescribed by the law
and who is required to give his entire
time to the children under fourteen
years of age who are not in school.
John j. Smith, the school attend
ance officer, has made himself familiar
with hundreds of questionable alb
sences from school and demonstrated
the value of his official action. The
County Court, before which cases are
brought, has entered heartily and in
telligcntly into the execution OF the
law. To his honor, Judge Ben b.
Lindsey, the district is under obliga-
tions. The report of the attendance Of
iicer appears later in this.
'1'he transportation of pupils to and
from school, although barely touched
in this district. has become n national
movement. In n number of states 1t is
provided for by statute. For the pu-
pills in the eastern side of this district
living more than one mile from school,
transportation has been provided for
the past year. About twenty pupils
have had the privileges of Il large grad
ed school, when otherwise II small un-
graded room near the house was the
alternative.
Il have been directed by you to
equip as many rooms in the Denver
Orphans Home, which is located with
in the boundaries of the district, AS
may bc necessary for the schooling OF
the inmates of that Institution. with
the opening of the school year the nee
essary adjustments will be made and
teachers assigned"
