oShOVA VV4hs
The end of the first month shows q
very encouraging beginning of the years
work. the average attendance during
the month was IS per cent, which is not
as good as the teachers hope to see it
during the term. Parents should re-
member that irregularity in attendance
is not only handicap to the teachers
but interteres with the even progress OF
class work, and at the same time far
greater detriment to the children them.
selves. For the purpose of encouraging
punctuality at school the roll of honor
will be published monthly during the
coming school year. The following
pupils were neither tardy nor absent

NO TRUTH IN PORT
ARTHUR SENSATION

TOXIC, July 16, a p. m.).-The In
perial headquarters staff officially deny
the reports from st. Petersburg that
the japanese lost thirty thousand men
in a battle near Port Arthur on July
10 or 18th. Not a shot was fired on
either date.
ST PETERSBURG, July &c. 1:35 p.
m.-Since the receipt from Toxic of an
official denial of the report of a Japa-
nese repulse at Port Arthur, with the
loss of about 10000 men skepticism as
to the truth of the report from Vice
roy AleXieff's headquarters has persu-
AIDED all circles, but the members of
the General Staff decline to accept the
denial unreservedly. While not insist
ing on the accuracy of the figures they
claim there is good reason to believe
that a severe check was inflicted on
the Japanese in front of Port Arthur
and it is considered possible that Gen
eral Stoessel may have made n report
of the subject direct to the Emperor,
who will not return here until tonight
Although still i'm ignorance as to what
the official statement meant by from
Japanese sources" the officials here
maintain that AleXieff must have had
good reason to send the report. While
1t is conceivable that the japanese
themselves may have spread the report
for the purpose of leading General Ku-
ropatkin to believe that they will not
advance any further in Manchuria the
General Staff are not disposed to re-
gard them as guilty of such machiavel-
ism, Despite the attitude of the Gem
eral STAFF, who evidently are reluctant
to give up a report for which they are
not responsible, the public ardor has
quite cooled down,
