Percent attendance in Woodstock:

District eight in Holland had 100 per cent attendance for February. l have repeatedly informed the teachers Of Woodstock that the kind of papers that their pupils are handing in is an index to the kind of work that that teacher is doing. l have also request. ed them always to have a set of langu- age and "a set of arithmetic papers ready for my inspection any time l may call. During the week ending March 4, 1 called and collected such papers as the teachers had for me. Many had been prepared the day of my visit. At my leisure looked these papers over,with the following points in mind:
 l. Is the writing or the figuring sat- isfact0ry for the age of the pupil? 2. Are the headings uniform and correctly written? 8. Is there margin on each side oi the language work?
 4. Are,the lines good and are they parallel?
 5. Is the work on the paper well ar ranged?
 6. Is the paper neat?
 Only four schools had papers that stood up fairly well under this test. Those schools are taught by Miss Flor enee P. Wilcox, Miss Anna Nelson, Mrs. Eva R. Hammond, and Miss Sarah A. Potter. Their papers were good. The other papers as sets were unsatisfactory although in those sets were some excellent papers.
 Our aim is, and l have repeated II often, 10 make the written lessons of such length that pupil may have time enough to prepare and hand in al the recitation time a neat and we'll ar ranged paper with the authorized heading. These teachers have been at this for nearly two years. They have not accomplished it yet. Why not! Is it the superintendent fault?
 Very truly yours,

 Supt. of Country Schools.

The School Report.

For the fourth month this year the percent attendance in the town ot East ford is the highest of any of my four towns, although in individual schools in my other towns have higher per cents of attendance than any individu- al school in Eastford.
 In Eastford, districts 5 and ' taught by Miss Margaret C. Brannigan of .Naugatuck had the highest percent during February. This school also prepares the best language and arith- metic papers of any Eastford school. The papers made in district one, gram mar room, taught by Miss Ruth I. Platt are nearly as good.
 In Woodstock, district four at Quas- sett, and taught by Miss Anna E. Nell son, has the highest percent attend ance for February and will receive the Attendance Banner on the week of March l4th. The attendance in this school has been the most even of any school in Woodstock. It has been nearly 95 per cent every month. This is surprising because it is the largest school in town, has many young ehii- dren in it, and the distances the pupils have to go to get to school are the long est of any school in town. Three of the pupils come over 1 3-4 miles, ten over 1.2 miles, eight over IA miles, nine over mile, two over 3.4 of mile and two over Is of a mile. The chil- dren and the teacher of this school de- serve our congratulations and en- couragement. So do the parents of these children. They have shown that they are made of the kind of 'stuff'' that will bring success.

carried it to the piano and, seating
himself, took the hideous object upon
his knees-a strange picture of life and
death.
Then, drawing the white cloth round
himself and the skeleton, be said the
latter's fingers over his own and began
to play. There was no hesitation in
the slow, measured flow of sound
which he and the skeleton conjured
up. AS the music swelled in a louder
strain closed my eyes, for there was
something weird in that picture Of
man and skeleton seated at the piano,
with the shadows Of evening deepen
ing around them and the ever swelling
and ever softening music filing the air
with mystery. And l knew l was lis.

live forever.
The music ceased, and when l looked

the floor lay Chopin's unconscious
form, and beside him, smashed all to
pieces, was the skeleton I priced SO
