Attendance Good
In Public Schools
FEW CASES OF TARDINESS REPORTED
Keep Children In School And Abolish Failures, >
Says Superintendent LukenS

A great deal of attention is
being given by the local schools
to the improvement of the atten-
dance and punctuality of the
pupils. 1t is believed by the
school authorities that the prin-
cipal reason for the failure of
some pupils at the end of each
year to pass from one grade to
the next higher grade is their
irregularity of attendance. This
fact is borne out by the records
of the school. By investigation
it has been shown that in practi-
cally every case where pupil
failed to be promoted last year,
he was absent from 10 to so days
during the school year.
There is cause for much en-
couragement in the matter Of at
tendance and punctuality in the
record of the first school month
of the year. The following is a
record of the various grades in
the schools, in the order Of their
rank:

REFUSES TO HALT;
SHOT BY OFFICER

Mace John Sheahan Of this
city was shot and seriously
wounded Sunday evening by
Chief Of Police steele, upon re-
fusing TO halt when ordered to do
so. The shooting took place at
the crossroads at the end of the
foot bridge crossing the St. Mar
les river and happened about
seven O'Clock in the evening.
The bullet, which was from a 80
automatic pistol, took effect in
Sheahan's right thigh, badly
shattering the bone.
Shortly after Passenger Train
No. II arrived in the city Officer
Steele received a telephone call
from two boys, who were then at
the Lewiston Box Factory, stat
ing that two men had brought
some liquor in on the train and
dropped it off when the train
slowed down at the trestle. Steele
responded Immediately and when
he reached the crossroads near
the box factory saw a man car
rying a sack which he surmised
contained the liquor in question.
Steele called to the man to halt
whereupon Sheahan dropped The
sack and started to run. The
officer then fired, the bullet tax
ing effect in the right hip. Shea
/ han was taken TO Platt's hospi-
tai where the wound was dressed.
The wound is a very serious. one,
the right hip joint being smashed
and if the man RECEIVERS. he will
lose all the use Of the limb.
Sheahan had been employed up
TO a few days ago by the Milwau-
kee Lumber company on one Of
the logging trains. He was
drawn in the draft from this
county and his name appears in
the list of men ordered to report
next Saturday to entrain for
the mobilization camp. He has
always borne a very good repu-
tation in this city, where he has
lived for the past several years.
He is unmarried, his parents re-
siding at Occur d'Alene.

made because certain of the
street lights were out at different
times during the month. He
stated that the light on one of
the most prominent corners in
town, that of 9th and College,
had. been out for two weeks and
said it was the intention of the
council to make the power com
pany look after the lights and
make a tour of inspection to see
that they were burning. Mr..
.Tompkins denied that any of the
lights had been out for that per-
iod of time and stated the COM
pany made a practice of fixing
amy lights Immediately when they
were reported out. He asked
that the citizens generally noti-
fly the company Immediately
when any of the street lights are
not burning.
The council instructed the
power company to move the two
lights on the county bridge, plac-
ing one of them on the corner of
Todd and First streets and the
otherat the south end of the draw
bridge across the st. Joe river.
A communication petitioning for
a light on the corner Of Wash
ngton and 18th streets was re-
ferred to the light committee, as
as was also a request for a light
on the corner of Fourth and
Scott.
A resolution was passed that
the walk on the south side of
Main street between Fifth and
Sixth streets be repaired by the
city and the cost charged TO the
property. This is the property
formerly occupied by the Luallin
garage and it was stated that a
plank retaining wall will be ne

| ing in and to protect the curb.

stand that tardiness is absolutely
inexcusable for any cause what
soeVer. If child can be at
school at all it can be there on
time. There is a disposition on
the part of parents sometimes to
send children on errands before
school, the result OF which is the
tardiness of the pupil. With
sufficient forethought such cases
can easily be avoided"

The regular meeting of the city
council was held Monday evening
with all members present except
Councilman Noble. An ordinance
was passed approving the assess
ment roll for the sprinkling dis
trict. as revised by the street
committee and the city engineer.
The revision was made at the re-
quest of several petitioners, who
felt that the assessment was un-
equal.
A committee from the Wo-
mems Civic League met with the
council and made several re-
quests to the body for action on
various questions. The commit
tee asked that an official publ
cation be made of all moneys de-
rived from taxes, water rents,
and all other sources showing
the amounts collected and the
manner in which the money was
expended. Mayor Hunt stated
that the books of the treasurer
were open to inspection at all
times and referred the committee
to these books for the desired
information.
The ladies then asked the
council to take over the walk
leading from the wharf to the
fo0t bridge across the st. Maries
,-ter, which walk is in a danger
oas condition and unsafe for
travel. Mayor Hunt stated that
the city would not consider this
as the walk was over the river
and only under the jurisdiction
of the government. Mrs. e. A..
holland, speaking for the com
mittee, stated it was unsafe for
children to pass along the county
bridge across the st. Maries river
on account of the number Of
automobiles using this bridge but
the mayor said that the city pos
itively would not take over and
repair the foot bridge.
A petition was then presented
by the ladies asking for a reduc-
ton in the water rates from the
present price of 1000 gallons for
Si.25 to 1000 gallons for the
same amount. The petition
states that the water rates are
burdensome to the people and
work a great hardship on the
consumers and should be re-
duced. 1t said:
I'VE desire your Honorable
Body's attention to the fact that
while lawns and gardens of the
City of st. Maries were dried up
and spoiled during the present
summer, that during the greater
part Of the summer the water
tanks were overlooked, and water
went to waste which could just
as we'll run through the pipes anC
be applied to the peoples gar
, dens and done the citizens moro
good" The petition was referred
to the water committee.
The committee also asked the
council to take action in regarC
to the sidewalks of the city, which
they characterized as being in {
disgraceful condition with loos,
boards and nails sticking up Sc
as to make them unsafe. Mayor
Hunt took exception to saying
that the sidewalks were disgrace
full and stated that while he re
allied some of the walks we're il
bad condition it was impossible
for the city to repair them all a
this time owing to lack. of funds
After some discussion it wa
agreed to turn this over TO tn
Civic League to see that the prop
egty owners kept the sidewalks il
