SUPT. RICHARDS

INCREASED ENROLMENT. READ.

MADE PROMINENT FACTOR.

To the Honorable Board of Education:
GENTLEM EN- desire to report
as follows upon the work of the
schools during the month of January.
During the month our total enroll
ment was 1882; the number belong
ing at the end of the month was 1873 :;
the average daily attendance was
1891; there were 1920 absentees; 146
cases of tardiness; cases of truancy;
2S cases of corporal punishment; 3
suspensions; SO new pupils.
The total enrolment in the differ
ent schools was as follows: Franklin,
52S Washington, AIS; Lincoln, 1856;
Jefferson, $40, High, 240.
There were 4i7 belonging at the
end of the month in Franklin; $40 in
Washington; 297 in Lincoln; 269 in
Jefferson 220 in High.
The average daily attendance in
Franklin was 4O3.3; Washington, 33j.-
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1914-02-17

52 Lincoln, 271; Jefferson, 2643S;
High, 215.2.
There were 574 cases of absence in
Franklin; 20S in Washington; 217 in
Lincoln; 21S in Jefferson; 123 in
High.
There were "a cases of tardiness in
Franklin; II in Washington; 26 in
Lincoln; 40 in Jefferson; 10 in high
There was one case of truancy in
Franklin; 2 in Washington; in Lin
coin; in jefferson
There We're 10 cases of corporal
punishment in Franklin; in Wash
ington; in Lincoln; 3 in Jefferson,
There were ? suspensions in Frank
lin; l in High.
There were 81 new pupils enrolled
in Franklin; 26 in Washington; % in
Lincoln; II in Jefferson.
Taking all things into consideration
the above report is very satisfactory
indeed. The work has been interfered
with in some schools just little on
account of sickness, but it seems that
the health of the different communi-
ties is improving very rapidly and pu.
pills are returning to their work.
Among all the criticisms that have
been aimed at the public schools,
there has been none so striking and
telling as that the public schools are
failing to teach children to read in-
telligentiy, to write legibly and to
spell correctly. An investigation in
to a number of school systems has
revealed to the investigators that
there is a degree of truth in this criti-
cism. That being true, we are endeav-
oring to center our instructions upon
these fundamentals in such a way
that it cannot be said as a truth of
our own schools. During the month we
have inaugurated spelling contests be-
tween the pupils of the different
wards and are holding these spelling
contests in the high school from time
totime. This is arousing a great
zeal of interest and friendly rivalry
in spelling among the pupils of the
different schools and is giving quite
an impetus to the teaching of this
subject
We have also inaugurated a CON
test in penmanship which has the eff
feet of creating Il great deal of inter
est in this subject. There has been
great deal of time, energy and op-
portunity wasted in public schools in
this country in teaching children to
write. There was time when we used
the muscular system, then we went
tC the vertical, then to the semi-slant
and now back to the muscular again.
Tho result is that we have grown a
generation of men and women who
are unable to write because they have
been forced to try every system. EX-
perience has taught that it is the
sane and proper method of writing
We are using that in our schools and
it is very gratifying indeed to see
whole rooms of children use the mus
cular system of penmanship at this
time Especially is it gratifying to
see children in the second grade writ
ing with all freedom and ease possible
by this method. We would really be
very glad to have patrons and friends
OF the school visit them and observe
the work along t:1ese particular lines.
II is our purpose to have a practical
class demonstration of the work done
in the different grades of the differ
ent schools on Friday the goth of this
month, and we hope that all parents
