ROW STIRS ATLANTA
POLICE DEPART MENT

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct 14.-Atlanta's
mounted policemen object to taking
orders from bicycle sergeants, and BIZ
cycle policemen are equally averse to
being ordered around by mounted SER
geants, and thereby hangs tale of d
police feud that threatens to result in
a factional split in the department.
In order to give the mounted SER
geants an opportunity for service in
the daytime, which they had not en-.
joyed for long time, Chief Mayo re-
Gently switched them to this watch
and placed them in charge of the bicy-
Gle squad, and at the time time he
switched the bicycle sergeants to
night duty in command of the mount
ed squad.
The arrangement worked fine, the
chief thought, but dissatisfaction in
the ranks has boiled up and busted
through in the person of a captain,
who has dared to incur the chiefs
displeasure by airing the grievances
OF the men, and the board of police
commissioners are divided on the
question.

THE RURAL SCHOOL
TERM IS IN NEED
(By ]. L. MvBrien, School Extension

by j. L. MvBrien, School Extension
Agent, Bureau of Education.)
The further we delve into the ques-
ton of rural school attendance in its
relation to the length of rural school
term the more evident it becomes they
we need an aroused public opinion for
a better rural school attendance and a
more rigid and effective enforcement
of compulsory attendance laws to
make sure of this better attendance
| not alone for the betterment Of the
children themselves, but as matter
of simple justice to the taxpayers 1t
is unjust to tax A to pay fer teaching
BIS children when the authority that
levies and collects the tax from A al
lows B to keep his children out of
school, whether it be through indiffer-
ence, ignorance or selfishness. Fur
, thermore, it is a crime against BIS
children to let him keep them out of
school. Whether poor attendance OF
pupils comes from Indifference of par
ents, sleeping public opinion or a
lax enforcement of compulsory at
tendance laws-or from all of these
things-the penalty falls hardest and
most directly upon the children in their
lost opportunity for an education,
though society must pay heavy toll
il, the end for its own SHINING against
such children.
AS a concrete example of the mag
nitude and gravity of these problems
in some of the states. take Pennsyl-
vania The enrolment in her public
schools for the year ending July .,
1915, reaced te cohllossal figure of l.,
461,937 The average daily attend
ance in her public schools for that
year was 1,166, making her aver
age daily absences climb to the start
ling number 295,424 The cost of en-
forcing the compulsory attendance
law in Pennsylvania for the same year
was $198,991.71. These figures cove"
both rural and urban schools. The
latest available statistics on separate
attendance in urban and rural schools
of Pennsylvania Q91O) show that the
number attending daily in every 100
enrolled in the urban schools of this
state was 80, while in the rural schools
it was only 1856 1t is evident, there
fore, that the rural schools of Penn
sylvania had larger per cent. of pu
pills in the 295, 424 daily absentees than
did its urban schools. Yet PennsyI
vania is one of the six states with the
highest daily attendance.
Statistics claim that every day
pupil attends school is worth nine dol
lars to him. On this basis the 295, 424
vania's schools last year cost over 3d.
$4,000 daily, or for the school term
of 10 days, over $45O,OOO,O00. For the
nation at large the 100000 boys and
girls daily absent from school lost
thereby on a school term of 100 days

The pulled drive cut sideways, up

up, with the racquet pointing away to
tho right, but often it comes In again
, and ends almost over the head.
The person who masters this stroke
can drive the ball fully three feet above
the net and yet rely On its dropping
just inside the baseline, since the ball
takes a terrific drop at the end Of its
flight
This is due to the fact that the ball
spins about an axis that Is tilted at
an angle Of approximately IS degrees,
with the axis Of spin slanting away
from the player. Whereas the cut

out Of court time after time, the pulled
drive goes just the opposite.
Kumagae is one Of the few who have
mastered the pulled drive, on both
