The Opening Of Schools.

ness lOr school at IedSl d Weeh
before school opens. Clean
house, cut weeds, see that good
water may be bad, burn trash,
MAKE premises sanitary and
avoid malaria and other dis
eases due to uncleanly sur.
roundings.
The teacher should become
acquainted in the district before
the opening day of school and
have the classification of school
we'll finland. Get ready. Don't
waste first week of school get
ting ready. See that black
boards, library and other sup
plies are ready for use. A good
start means good school.
Parents should get every.
thing in readiness to start every
child on the first day. Few
children are bright enough to
lose several weeks at opening
and then keep up with the work
Much of the dislike of school is
due to getting poor start. AS a
rule those who start late can
least afford TO miss d Day. Self
interest should prompt parents
to make some sacrifice to give
the children the most favorable
opportunities. For those who
have not such interest the law
comes to compel attendance.
The compulsory attendance
law should be strictly complied
with. IT the law is a necessary
one every good citizens should
see that it is enforced. II it is
unnecessary it should be repeal
ed. All children between 8 and
IA years must attend some
school Tor half term. No one
can be excused for a half term
until he has already attended
The compulsory law Increased
the enrolment and attendance
last year. All districts have
had time now to prepare for it
and it is expected that a better
showing will be made this
year.
The law compel school boards
to publish a synopsis OF the
Attendance Law" in the news
papers or to post notices, If
boards do not promptly attend
to it editors should call atten.
tion of board to the law. The
State Superintendent of Public
Schools distributed $4,000 such
notices to the County Commits,
sioners and Superintendent
last spring to be used now. A
failure to publish or post notices
does rot excuse any parent tor
noncompliance with the law.
There are several matters Of
minor Importance that call fol-
careful attention.. If text books
are changed at all doit at open
ing of school. Good judgment
will decide to make no changes
now. Wait until after meeting
of next Legislature. The State
Superintendent supply Of
School Laws and State Courses
of Study is exhausted. Forty
thousand copies of each have
been distributed in last three
years. It is we'll to leave a ;e
vision of these until after nex1
Legislature and 10. the new
State superintendent to bt
elected in November.

liOuS natives announced that he would
surrender his force the next day, and
the Americans returned to Magtaon
accompanied by Colonel Aguilar, q
Pulajane chief.
The mex day, Saturday, four Pula-
Jane chiefs with over one hundred men
and fourteen guns appeared at Mag
taOn and lined up in front of the con-
%stabulary barracks. Between the bar
racks and the Pulaianes stood the
group of American officials.
One of the chiefs expressed a wish
that his party be photographed in the
act of surrendering, and Captain
Hoover, in compliance with the re-
quest. was adjusting his camera when
the Pulajanes' leader blew a whistle
and give an order to advance. The en-
tire party of natives thereupon rushed
on the American officials. who escaped
to The Magtaon River and SWAN 10 the
opposite bank.
When the treachery of the natives
was apparent the constabulary imme-
diately opened fire and a fierce fight
enSuaI, in which the c~onstabulary
gained 6 decisive victory. The Pula-
james were chased to the mountains,
but the pursuers lost more guns than
they captured.
The American officials were later
found WITH the exception of Governor
Curry. He was last seen being chased
by P~ulaianes.
Three hundred c~onstabulary are now
on the trail of the fugitive natives.
