SCHOOL PUPILS
LIKE The Method
Attendance Of the Public Schools of
kcokuk, is Much Better than
in Former
Years.
HOW IT IS DONE
A Part Holiday Granted the Scholars
Of a Room if They Succeed in
Making Required Attend
ance Per Cent.

In years past 1t has been a problem
to the public school instructors Of
Keokuk how to keep an almost per-
feet record In the matter of attend
ance. Now that the school year Is
coming to an end and there arch ut
few more weelss for the scholars TO
more over their books, one or the
schemes of keeping up the attendance
record in the ten or more schools OF
the city, might be told without fatal
results.
At the end of each calendar month,
while school Keeps" in the graded
schools, if the different rooms in the
educational institutions have acquired
a percent of 90 and half or more
fraction, for attendance during the
month, the pupils in that room are CIV
en- a part holiday from 8 o'clock. If
the room has not secured standing
of 90 per cent or more the pupils re-
main until the ind of the regular
school day ses IONS.
In speaking of this method of induc-
ing pupils to keep up their attendance
records. an instructor in one of the
schools said the other day. 1T is
wonderful how conscientious the
scholars are in the matter and in
many cases where it might be thought
advisable to keep child out for a
day they will attend at least half OF
the day so that the record will be
above the required percent at the end
OF the month"
A half days absence does not count

Rates on the New Railway.

As a result of the building of the Tucson Gala basas cutoff, the exist ing freight rates applying between Tucson wholesale merchants and Nogaies retailers vii! be cut exact. ly in half by a new rate which will go into effect on or about August 2. The new tariff has just been receiv- ed back from Washington after consideration by the interstate commerce commission.
 The new tariffs contain both freight and passenger rate schedules. The old first class freight rate be- tween Tucson and Nogales was 84 cents per hundred. The new rate will make it 42, according to Chief Clerk Hallmark of the Randolph offices.
 As the same time, a new pas senger tariff, effective between Tue son and Calabasas will go into ef- feet. It will be based on the rates charged by the old Twin Buttes railroad as far as Sahuarito. The rate to that point is $l 10 and the rate to any point between Tucson and Calabdsas will be that rate plus the additional mileage at five cents per mile.
 The following stations between Tucson and Calabasas have been created:
 Agnirre, 6 miles; Xavier, 9.9 miles; Lopez, 14.8 miles; Sahuarito, 18.6 miles; Hartt, 23 2 miles; Nor ales, 2S miles; Canoa, 32.4 miles; Amedo, 37.4 miles; Chaves, AIS miles; Calabasas, 55.8 miles.
 Nogales is 10 miles distant from Calabasas, and a terminal pas- senger rate of about half the old rate will apply.-Tucson Citizen.
