Although there was no great vio-

at Twelfth and Walnut streets, right

Shows That the Term Which
Closed Last Month Was
One of the most Successful
in Recent Years.
INCREASE is SHOWN
IN THE ATTENDANCE
Sickness Was Responsible for
Much of the Absence During
the Past Term-Some Sta
tiStiCS.

In many respects there was never a
more successful term in the Richmond
public schools, than that which ended
Feb. II, and while the report of Su-
perintendent T.. A. Mott which was
completed yesterday, does not give op-
portunity for comparison of last term
with corresponding terms of previous
years except in routine matters yet it
is announced by Superintendent Mott
that the term was one of the best in
the history of the local schools.
The report does not indicate the
proportion of pupils who passed in all
their studies; nor to what studies the
majority Of the failures were due, and
other matters of this nature, which
would give the public an insight into
the operation of the schools. But it
covers the routine, in respect to the
attendance, tardiness, interest taken
by the parents and necessity of pun
superintendent.
Mott is Well Pleased.
Superintendent Mott is we'll pleased
with the proportion of promotions.
One noticeable result for the term,
and one which the school authorities
have been working for. is ths decrease
in time lost by tardiness. Despite the
term was 16O in excess of the CORE
spending term of 10000, there were
161 fewer cases of tardiness during the
last term. During the term which
closed February 5. 1909, there were o
$50 cases of tardiness reported. while
last term there were 1850. The time
lost in minutes last term by tardiness
amounted to 15,Oo3, while 16,1S9 min
utes were lost during the correspond
ing term of 19O6-O9.
Sickness was responsible for much
absence during the past term. The
| report shows that 9.6S1 days were lost
from this cause, while in the previous
term, sickness caused a loss of 9,23S
days. The number of cases of corporal
punishment for the past term was Al
as against 2S for the term before.
Seventy-five cases of truancy were re-
ported. while in the term Of 19OS-O9
only 50 urchins were caught playing
''hookey'' The number of visitors for
last term shows decrease of 172 over
the term previous, the ratio being I, ,642
against 1,S14.
| The Total Enrolment.
The total general enrolment, end
ing in February, 1909, was 3.136. while
for the term ending in February, 1910
the general enrolment totaled 1926
For the term just ending, 1858 of the
total number were boys and 1876:
were girls. For the same term the
year previous the number of boys en-
rolled was 1900 and the number o.
girls, l. $50. This year shows a gen
eral increase over last of 146 pupils
The average daily attendance for the
term ending last month was 2,775
against 26S3 for the term ending Feb
5, 1909, an increase of 81. Each yeal
has shown an increase in the total gen
eral enrolment and the following fig
ures will show the relative increase fo
the terms ending in February. since

was recently sentenced for a long
term in the Michigan City, Ind, peni-
tentiary for embezzlement from the F.

victims in Danvers and vicinity.
Mrs. Piper and their two beautiful
daughters have been staying at the

trips to visit them. he called on Earl
P. Perkins of this town. who as a
boy, knew Piper and had not learned
of his Vaccinations in the west.
Fell An Easy Victim.
Piper asked MIR. Perkins, according
to the statement of the latter to do
him the favor Of cashing a check for
$3.50, as he had to rush to catch a
train. He assured Mr.. Perkins, who
is employed in the National Security
Bank that the check was genuine and
would be honored promptly. Perkins
had been very pleasantly entertained
by the Piper family in Boston and
was wholly unsuspicious. He granted
the favor. endorsed the check, which
was paid by the bank. and Mr.. Per-
kins was out $3.50. Piper is also said
to have worked on the credulity of a
cousin of his wife, Mr.. Choate of Bos-
ton, obtaining $3.50 in a similar man.
