INITIAL REPORT OF
SUPERVISING PRINCIPAL

Supt. H. w Sinner submitted his first re-
port to the Board of Education on Friday
evening, October s. The report follows:
Number of pupils in attendance Sept. 30 !:
Boys, 557 Girls, 572; Total, 1929. Enroll
ment in High School Boys, "A Girls, so /;
Total, 104. Enrolment in First year High
School Boys, % Girls. IS; Total, 63.
Percentage of attendance, .9467.
In order to stimulate better attendance,
Mr.. F. L. Winch, the attendance officer, has
offered two silk banners to be contested for.
One banner will be competed for by grades
one to four inclusive and another by grades
five to eight inclusive, The schools attaining
the highest average percentage of attendance
at the end of the school year will be awarded
the banners for permanent possession.
Departmental work has been organized in
the seventh and eighth grades in both the
Number One and Number Two schools. The
plan works well and excellent results are eex-
pected.
Eight teachers are teaching half-time class
es. This is made necessary through the over
| crowded condition of the buildings, the rem
edy for which will be the completion of the
eight-room addition to No. 2 school and the
| erection of the High School building.
To stimulate better work on the part of
the teachers the Board of Education passed a
resolution requesting the teachers TO spend
two days visiting other school systems. The
towns to be visited and the manner of visit
ing and reporting the results of the visits
will be under the direction of the superin-
tendent.
A resolution was also passed to purchase
two sewing machines, one to be used in No. l
school and the other in No. 2 school.

JUNIOR ORDER ENJOYS
VISITATION TO TUCKERTON.

Monday last was a great day for the Junior
Order United American Mechanics in this
section of the State. On that occasion a fra
ternal visitation was made to Lakeside Coun-
ell at Tuckerton by members Of Excelsior
Council of Pleasantville. A hundred and
fifty members of the local Council, including
Band and Grasshopper Double Quartet made
the trip in twenty-five automobiles provided
by members and friends of the Juniors.
Tuckerton was reached shortly after eight
O'Clock in the evening, and two by two, lead
by Lakeside Council, the march was made to
the hall. Here an elegant address was de-
livered by Junior Past State Councillor Frank
X. Muta. of Bridgeton, who described the
wonderful growth of the Order from its foun-
dation to the present day and told of its
accomplis hments and plans for the future.
By this time the others of the Pleasantyille
contingent had arrived, including the Band,
which was delayed in making the start, and
the hall was not large enough to
date the crowd. The proprietor of the nov
ing picture theatre, who is a member of the
Order, came to the rescue and threw open the
doors of his theatre. With the Band leading
the way, all marched to the theatre where
the meeting was continued. Here the pro-
gram consisted of speeches by Assemblyman
Bertram Z. Whitman, City Solicitor Elwood
C. Weeks and Mr.. Thomas Butler, principal
of the public school at Linwood. These were
interspersed with selections by the Band and
singing by the Grasshoppers, making a de-
lightful program which received much ap-
plause. About II o'clock the Councillor of
Lakeside extended an invitation to the boys
to repair to the Fire House, where a feed was
awaiting them. This proved one of the most
delightful features of the evening, and the
Tuckerton people fully sustained their rep
utation for liberality and hospitality. Alto
! gether it was a memorable occasion and will
long be remembered by those who participant
ed, while those who could not go missed a
rare treat. The committee of Excelsior
Council deserve much praise for the manner
in which every detail was worked out on this
end of the line. as does also the Councillor,
| Joseph B. Thomas.
The Excelsior Council Committee in charge
of the affair was composed of Harry e. Par
sells, Arthur Driscoll and George Schussler.

who rendered the use of their automobiles

the marvellous success of the Councils vista
