The above report is not the most
satisfactory with reference to school
attendance. Quite a number of cases
of hardness is noted and the per-
centage of attendance is low. There
seems a tendency for pupils TO re-
main away from school duties at
times with little or no excuse. The
most common reason being weather
conditions-in fac the school attend
ance is a pretty good indicator OF
weather conditions. 1t is impossible
to do satisfactory work unless all the
pupils are present regularly, and we
would especially urge that children
be kept from school as seldom as
possible. 1t is true that some have
comparatively long distances to go,
and yet sidewalks are usually in fair
condition, making it possible to reach
school buildings with little discom'
fort. We hope our next report will
show a much higher percentage, both
in the matter of attendance and pune
tuality.

We understand that all hope OF
school legislation in the present as
sembly is gone, We believe there is
genuine regret throughout Iowa, at
least among the educational leaders
and those who are vitality concerned
and intelligent on school needs.
Doubtless there were needed changes
in the proposed bill as reported by the
commission, but at the same time the
many good features far outweighed
the bad ones, and with these latter
eliminated it should have been enact.
ed into law. If the people of Iowa
are not willing to make any changes
in the present school law, they should
be satisfied with the work of the
teachers and the product of the
schools This, however, is not the
case; and it is only question of time
when in our judgment some such legis'
lation as was contained in the pro-
posed bill will be written upon the
statute books.

The recent meeting of the Depart
ment of superintendent in Chicago
was very helpful TO all in attendance.
We shall not give detailed report OF
this meeting, but will quote a few
samples of the many good things said
in the different sessions:
Law is made, but God given" I'm
the larger life one must give in order
to have" Everything in education
was once fad" The real course Of
study is the teacher. Industry and
initiative should be taught, education
will follow" Culture consists in do.
ing anything we'll" 1.-THE pupil must
have conscious motive in school
work" "To help pupils in their own
activities and TO understand the ac-
tivities of others is the function OF
the school, Lead the pupil to feel
that it is himself that is TO succeed"
"If college seducation. Is a good
thing, the road leading to college
should be as broad as possible "Tru.
ant children often come from truant
parents" "The teacher must have
faith in the child--this win win him.!

progress Pure truth law as vel

The quarterly tests OF the current
semester will be given during the
week beginning March 22nd. These
tests are for the purpose of assisting
the teacher In determining the char
acter and quality of the work done by
the pupils thus far. Some children
have the idea that tremendous eff
fort put forth during the last days
OF the semester will enable them TO
pass the final examinations and go
on with their class to the next higher
grade. but 1t is essential that pupils
do thorough, consistent work through
out the whole term, as a spasmodic
effort at the close Is OF comparatively
little value. leaving the pupil generally
weak In his work and unable to make
satisfactory progress in his advance
efforts. Special attention will be
given at the close OF the present quar-
ter to those who are doing unsatis-
factory work. and unless it s proba'
Bile that they can be promoted with
their class at the end OF the semester
they may be placed In the division
lower. Not only does the slow pupi
need to strengthen his work In the
grades below, but he Is holding his
own classmates back, and they car
advance more rapidly and more sat
lslAcfofily without him.
