The school entertainment, SO much
talked Of and advertised, is now on the
list of past events. To say that it was
successful, especially financially is
putting it mildly. The receipts were
$4,000. The net is $125.75. This
goes toward the piano which was
installed last fall in the school. We
certainly appreciate the reward OF our
efforts in giving this entertainment.
We are not advocates of promiscuous
number of these entertainments during
the school year, but one or two a year
is certainly excellent training for the
children. Some intimations have been
going the rounds that the entertain
ment should be repeated. If this
sentiment is sufficient we should con-
slider a second appearance for those
who were unable to be present at the
first because OF lack of room.
There seems to be some misunder-
standing about the compulsory atten-
dance law. Anyone looking into the
matter will find that the secretary OF
the board is held liable if he does not
enforce the law. The district will
forfeit one fourth of its apportionment
if the law is not carried out in every
instance. Then the secretary to pro-
tect himself requires the principal to
enforce the law to the letter, or the
principal is liable to a fine. Further
more, in order that this law may be
enforced, an attendance officer is APP
pointed by the board, to whom the
principal submits all names of absences
and tardinesses, and the officer must
look into the cases and report. The
above heing the conditions, should
anyone feel offended if the attendance
officer comes to inquire about those
who are absent or tardy? To carry
out the law the principal must have
every child between the ages of 8 and
IS in school every day or have a valid
excuse for absence. This information
he cannot get except upon investiga-
ton. And the attendance officer is
the proper man, according to the law,
to secure the information.
The school now boasts OF a new flag,
which may be seen flying from the
flag staff on any nice day school is in
session.

Since that awful loss of life in the
school house fire in Cleveland last
week the different towns in Washing
ton have been making an investigation
Of the facilities for escaping from q
burning school building. In Wenat-
chez they found that conditions are not
at all satisfactory. Has our own school
board given the matter thought? Do
the doors swing outward1 This is one
most important consideration.

Mayor Sampson went to Seattle yes
terday to interview L. c. Gilman,
attorney for the railroad company in
the hope that some modification Of the
plan OF the overhead bridge can be
agreed upon. 1t is very evident that
to complete the crossing according to
present plans will result in closing
Front street or making the crossing
useless so far as vehicles are con-
cerned.
