PANAMA SCHOOL WORK.
Some Statistics Regarding Schools il
Charge of Mr.. O'Connor.

Charge of Mr.. O'Connor.
The Daily Star and Herald published
at Panama speaks as follows of the
canal zone schools now under the di-
rection of Superintendent O'Connor,
formerly at the head of the city
schools of Norfolk
THE attendance and enrolment for
the Canal Zone public schools for the
month of March has been received by
Executive Secretary Reed. This little
one-sheet document will interest every
one having the least concern in the
success of educational work, being as
important as many that go before the
executive secretary and through him
to the attention of the canal commits
sion.
According to this report, out of a
total enrolment of 1,724 children in
the public schools of the zone, the
average daily attendance during March
was 1927. In the twenty.eight schools
| of the Canal Zone there are 104 male
white children and 761 cOlored boys.
The white girls number rs and the
colored girls ISL.
The average attendance in the
schools of the zone is a very good
guage by which to judge the amount
of interest the parents of the zone
take in the school work and amount
of enthusiasm the teachers instill into
the pupils themselves. At the lie Boca
school the March report shows the
average daily attendance has been
within one or two of the total number
enrolled At Pedro Miguel the March
figures show the average number of
pupils attending has been within one
of all on the school roll. Satisfactory
results have also been given at Taber-
nilla, Bohio, San Pablo and Gorgona
"At Las Sabanas and the points
where the little ones have to travel
long distances to the school house
the enthusiasm seems to be just as
great, the reports showing that more
than half of the enrolled pupils have
always been in attendance"

over its baseball team these days and
it is question which the poole of
Jackson are taking the most interest
in, their baseball team or the coming
primary. The team has won eight
straight games. and won eight out
of the last ten played, lost one and
tied one. This is better record than
any team representing the capital has
ever before. When Roy Montgomery,
the new manager, took the team it was
just like ahead of Columbus now it
is third to head and trying to over
haul Meridian and Mobile. 1t opened
with Gulfport this afternoon for three
games. The race for the penant in
the Cotton State League is getting
exciting now with Mobile. Meridian
