TRUANT Officer
Makes ARREST

The action taken by the school board
Monday night looking to stricter en-.
forcement OF the school law relating
to attendance bore fruit yesterday in
the arrest of a resident of the second
ward for failing to send his eleven
year-old son to school with sufficient
regularity.
The case was one which is likely to
have parallel at any time. The in
formation was lodged by Truant Off
Ger W. e. Young, who is responsible
for the attendance of pupils. The hear
ing was held before Justice Uglesby,
who imposed fine of two dollars and
costs under the act of 1901, which OBJ
liges parents to send their children to
school seventy-five per cent of the
time elapsed since the beginning Of
the term, the penalty being two dol
lars fine or two days Imprisonment
for the first offense and five dollars
fine or five days Imprisonment for the
second offense.
In the case of the man arrested, his
boy was not making ANYTHING like full
time. Truancy, it seems, did not enter
into it, as the boy merely stayed at
home, whiclf left che truant officer no
other alternative than to proceed
through the parents.
As the circumstances became known
the defendant became an object of con-
siderable sympathy. He admitted that
his boy was out of school. Earlier in
the term the father kept him out with
the consent of one of the local direc-
tors; later he was very anxious to have
the boy i'll school but during his alb
sence at work the boy was permitted
to remain at home by the mother.
The justice explained to the defend
ant that in the face of the law the
permission" granted by the director
was without weight; also that while
unfortunate he as father and head of
the family was responsible for his
children's attendance or non-attend
ance at school. regardless of the part
played by any other member of the
family. The defendant saw the point
and unhesitatingly paid fine and costs
amounting to S2.75
Comment on the above is unneces-
sary. That hardship is wrought on
poor people, who can lily afford to
bear the expense when the law is per-
mitted to take its course is quite evid-
ent. The remedy would lie in comply
ing with the law and keeping chill
dreu in school as required. All the
facts of the above case are presented
with the hope that they may prove an
object lesson to those parents who are
tempted to become negligent in the
matter of sending children to school.

HOLDERS ORDERED
FOR TYPEWR|TERS

1t developed at the meeting OF the
school board Monday that through
no neglect of the school authorities
the law obliging children under IA
years of age to attend school is not be-
ing lived up to quite as rigidly as it
ought to be. Mr.. Fischer called atten-
tion to several instances in which chill
dren apparently under IA years are at
work instead of attending school.
In several instances parents have put
in strong plea for exemption OF Gle
mency on the ground that through
Strengthened circumstances in the fam
ily the aid of the child as a wage earn
er is seriously needed.
After thorough discussion it was
the sense of the school board that no
exceptions can be made no matter
what the family circumstances may
be and that it devolves upon the tru-
ant officer to see to it that all children
under IA years are kept in school ; also
that those employing children should
keep the requirements of the law IN
mind and by exercising care prevent
themselves from being imposed upon
and unwittingly admitting boys and
girls into their employ who are under
fourteen.
Borough Superintendent Gordy call
ed attention 10 the need of holders for
the type writer's in the commercial de-
partment. In our high school, he said.
we are teaching type writing by the
"touch system, by which, it is un-
derstood, the pupils manipulate the
machine on the same principle that
person learns to play the piano. With
out holder for the notes the pupils
are obliged to keep their heads turned
to one side, which places them on an
unnatural position. To overcome this
modern device is coming into gener-
al use, by which the notes are held
directly in front of the pupil on the
typewriter. The board was impressed
with the utility of the device and on
motion of Mr. Heiss it was ordered
that one half-dozen of the "holders"
be purchased.
The following members were pres
ent. Burns, Orth, Swarts, Pursel, Har-
ing, Trumbower, Fischer, Heiss, Har-
pei, Lutz and Grone.

Girl Fired at Burglar.

a bold attempt to rob the home of
Mrs. John Greasy, at Berwick, early
yesterday morning was frustrated by
Mrs. Creasy's daughter.
The young lady was awakened by a
noise and, going to a window, saw a
man in the back yard. Getting her re-
volver, she fired five shots at the rob
ber, none of which, however, took eff
feet. The shots aroused the neighbors,
who chased the man quito a distance
and finally lost him. This is the third
attempt that has been made to rob the
Greasy home within short time, but
on each occasion the burglar has been
scared away.

A SCHOOL WITHOUT PUPILS.

There is public school in Penn
township. Carbon county, which has
been open for month, and yet not
single pupil has been in attendance
during the entire time. The teacher
opens up in the morning and remains
until closing time. The parents OF the
pupils decline to obey the vaccination
act and are keeping them out of school.
The directors have refused to pay the
teacher, and he will probably appeal
to court.

CoNSUMPTIoN'S WARNING

symptoms.--DR T.. C.. GREEN
The aid Of scientific inventions is not
needed TO determine whether your lungs
are affected. The first symptoms can be
readily noted by anyone of average in
tclligence.
There is no disease known that gives so
many plain warnings of its approach as
consumption, and no serious disease that
can be so quickly reached and checked
if the medicine used is DR. Boschcc's
German Syrup, which is made to cure
consumption.
1t is III the early stages that German
Syrup should be taken, when warnings
are given in the cough that wont quit,
the congestion of the bronchial tubes and
the gradual Weakening of the lungs &C.
companied by frequent expectoration.
But no matter how decp-seatcd your
cough, even if dread consumption has
already attacked your lungs, German
Syrup will surely effect curc--as it has
done before in thousands of apparently
hopeless cases of lung trouble.
