MORE GO TO SCHOOL
And Term Is Increased Two Weeks i'm
Most States.


Most States.
Washington. Dec. 1.-THE highest aver
age Of school attendance in the history
of the American school system was
reached in the year 1909, according 10
statistics gathered by the United States
bureau of education. Figures for 1910 are
not yet available, but the opinion was eX-
pressed today by DR.. F. B. Dresslar of
the bureau. that 1910 would show still bet
ter results
Returns show. he declared. that the
length of the school term increased from
III days in 1900. to $50 days in 1903. while
in the same period the average number
of days attended by each pupil rose from
% to is. This means that more than half
q month has been added to the average
length of the school term and in this par
ticuiar alone. educational effectiveness
has been increased during the last decade
about per cent.
IN 1900. our figures show" he said.
that the average daily attendance in the
public schools was 10.6S2.7 72. which was
6s6 per cent of the enrolment: in 1879.
the average daily attendance reached T.
6s4. ST.. being TO per cent of the number
enrolled.
These figures seem to warrant the
conclusion that the children have attend
cd the public schools more regularly dur
ing the past decade than in any previous
one of our educational history"

Morris tribune., 1911-04-14

Senate passed one recall bill; the
House another. This lack of team
work is not accidental. Both branches
are trying to make a reform record
without accomplishing any reforms.
Mr.. Klemer and DIR. Stone are
worth their weight in gold to the
state. Since their charges of packed
committees directed public attention
to the deplorable and disgusting
situation in the House, the reaction
aries are so thoroughly frisghtened
that they shy at their own shadows.
Let any progressive whisper the name
of Kelmer and the organization will
acquiesce in whatever he may demand.
The temperance committee killed the
Robinson brewery bill. Mr.. Robinson
quietly threatened to add a chapter to
the Klemer incident and they quickly
reconsidered and placed his bill on
general orders. 1t was the same with
the railroad committee when they
were threatened with Klemeritis for
killing S. F. No. 44O. The vote by
which the Haycraft bill was inde-
finitly postponed was reconsidered.
