PERMISSION TO FEED THE POLES

Russia has announced a willing
ness to permit the United States to
send food supplies into Poland, Il r
the relief of the starving women and
children of that devastated country.
Six centers for the distribution of
food and clothing will be designated
by the cars government, to which
supplies from America will be admit
ted. Outside of these the Germans
will he charged with the responsible
ty OF making provision for the help
less and destitute. Just how this lin
itation of the work will finally effect
the situation may only be surmised,
but IL is not unreasonable to think
that the six centers for American act
ivity will shortly become the most
populous in Poland. The assent of
Russia to the plan will surely carry
with 1t the acquiesence of England
and France, and the United States
will thus be permitted to participate
still further in the war by assuming
the care of more of the innocent vic
tins of the dreadful strife.
Poland's predicament is especially
unhappy, but its people will find the
response to their appeal from Amer
lea as sympathetic and as generous
as did the Belgians and the Serbians.

ABSENCES AT SCHOOL

The effect of absences upon school
work is hardly realized by all parents
/ In a majority of cases in our local
schools, the pupils who make the
/ least Roadway, and who fail to get
| the work in their classes, are the pu-
pills who are absent a great part OF
the time. Ii works a hardship upon
children to have them stay out OF
school on the slightest pretext, and In
addition, il prevents their going on
with their classes. II is to be regret
ted that we do not have a truant Of
ficer to enforce the compulsory at
tendance law, but children should
not be permitted to stay out of school
for reasons that are hardly valid.
Some of the worst cases of absences
have been tabulated by our teachers
and they are given below. OF course,
in practically every case, these pupils
are the ones who are failing to get
the work of their grades. II might
also be explained that in these cases
most ii not all, of the absences were
not caused by sickness, and yet, par
ents asked that the absences be eX-
cused for some unimportant reason.
The following are the cases referred
to:
Girl, age IS, absent PAN days out
OF 60 days of school.
Boy, age 10. absent rs days out of
60 days at school.
Boy. age 10. absent is days out of
60 days at school.
Girl, age Is, absent "a days out of
60 days of school.
Boy, age 10, absent 23 " days out
of 60 days of school
Boy, age II, absent "a days out of
81 days of school.
Boy, age IA, absent 22 days out of
81 days of school.
Boy, age II, absent IS days out of
60 days of school.
Girl. age 13, absent 26 days out of
81 days at school.
