NO AMERICANS DIE IN REVOLT

Washington, March 19.-The first
official news from Petrograd since the
overthrow of the autocracy and the
elimination Of the Romanoffs from
participation in the government of
Russia, was received at the state de-
partment today in the form of three
dispatches from Ambassador David r.
Francis.
The first dispatch announced that
in all the fighting and disorder Incl
dent to the initiation of the revolu-
tionary movement, not a single Amer
lean citizen was killed or injured.
The state departments paraphrase Of
the dispatch said:
Telegram from Petrograd, dated
March 16, reports that no Americans
were reported injured in Petrograd
and that embassy and staff were un-
disturbed. Pctrograd vas complete
~ quiet at that date, and revolution
lsts were apparently in complete con-
troll"
Following this, the state depart
mcnt announced:
"A second telegram, dated March
l6, states that the duma apparently
was in control and appointed minis
try with Lvoff minister of interior
and president of ministers, and NIilu-
koff minister for foreign affairs The
latter has requested the staff of his
Office to continue. Most of the mem
bers of the former ministry were ar
ranged before the duma, exceptions
being GrigOrovitch and Pokrovsky,
the latter Of whom still remains as
minister of foreign affairs, but is ex-
ercising no functions"
"A telegram dated March II, states
that the addiction of the car for
himself and his son, Alexis, has been

Arbor Day Exercises.

Most of the schools in the state
celebrated Friday as Arbor Day,
but in many places, including the
schools in this city, teachers and pu-
pills have delayed their special OBJ
lservation of the day until a later
date. However, the pupils of the
third room in the Lawn Hill school,
taught by Miss Caroline Baker, gave
such varied and intensely interest
ling program that special mention is
due to their efforts.
The entertainment was three-fold
in nature; the first part related to
the home life and the part the moth
err holds in the home, the second
the home state-in which historical
sketches were given as we'll as prac-
tical items regarding the products,
cities and writer's of Iowa. These
numbers were not only very interest,
ling but highly instructive in charac-
ter. The third part took up the tenn
perance question, dealing with it az
lit affects local conditions, as well as
state and national life. A biograph-
Iical sketch of the life of Frances Will
lard was given very nicely by four
young girls. Other numbers in this
division were also well rendered.
The entire arrangement and prep
Iaration of this rather unusual pro-
gram showed the most careful and
|painstaking work on the part of the
teacher and children.

Park Commissioners Meet.

The park commissioners held a
meeting Friday to talk over some
matter pertaining to the work to be
done this year. There will be some
improvements necessary at the Ken
dali Young park. The commission
will have to go carefully to make
the appropriation for park purposes
do the business. John Riley was
granted permission to use the small
parcel of land pust north of the ball
park for agricultural purposes as
compensation for taking care of No
komos park during the season. This
piece of land was secured from John
Svenson and it is the intention of
Mr.. Riley to plant it to potatoes.

been necessary to send the sheriff
after one boy and there are number
of others who are apt to fare likewise
unless the law is observed. This state
of affairs is deplorable but when il
| is known that, in many cases, thu
parents uphold the child in his
wrong-doing, it seems almost beyond
reason. Many people are SO poor
lthey can hardly spare their chill
dren's time long enough to allow
them to attend school and receive an
education. Again poor parents are
Ioften unable to clothe their children
properly. However, these are not
the class we are speaking Of, for the
authorities are not bothered half as
much with these as they are with
Iunruly children from ten to fourteen
years of age who play truant. 1t has
been necessary to drop some who are
past fourteen years of age, who by
their irregular attendance, were not
anything in school
and were detriment to their grades.
Many parents uphold the child,
complaining to the school nurse of
the child being i'll and therefore un-
able to attend school. The nurse gen.
orally has a pretty good idea of the
+child's physical condition for the en-
tire physical record of the child from
the first to the eighth grade is kept
on file, every child being examined at
the beginning of each semester. In
this record appears the height, nu-
triton, weight defective vision, de-
fective teeth, tonsils, adenoids, and
other things PERTAINING to the physi-
cal condition of the child. An account
is kept of the number of days the
child is out Of school because of ill
ness, the attendance and promotion,
making complete history of the
child through the grades.
This record will also show the CO..
operation Of the parents and whether
or not they have done their part. It
is not the intention to deprive any
one of school privileges but they
must observe the school regulations.
