NOTICE.

To Chairmen Local Committees, To Arkansas Consumers of Coal:
 |. The fuel situation confronting the nation is serious. It is impera- tive that there be cooperative dls- position on the part of steam-users to equip their boilers for the use of such grades of coal as may be avail able. if the domestic consumers and the essential industries are not to have a shortage of prepared sizes during the trying days of the com ing winter.
 2. Loss of coal production in many of the western states, includ- ing Arkansas, is largely attributable to the fact that there is not now sui ficient means for the untilization of slack coal. The early ordering cam paign in this state has met with a ready response on the part of con sumers, and retail dealers report they booked sufficient orders to keep them busy 60 days, and those who have not placed their orders should do so now.
 3. Industrial plants and the con- sumers of prepared sizes are expected to do their full duty, and the steam users are called upon to make pre- parations for the use of more slack, or the whole system of production and distribution will be badly crip- pied.
 4. It is urged upon the owners ot steam plants in Arkansas, as a pa triotic duty, that they proceed te equip their boilers with special grates and blowers to enable them to burn and utilize approximately one hundred and fifty thousand tons of Anthracite slack that for the pres ent, there is no market, and place their orders to the extent of thell storage capacity.
 5. This applies especially to An thracite slack. The changes in fir' box equipment can be made at comparatively small cost and it will in the end, prove to be more econom ical, on account of the lower cost O slack, and at the same time, will alt in the production of Anthracite coa that is so badly needed.
 6. Get ready to burn mere slacl and keep the miners busy.

children. Under present condl-
tions they get but little out of the
work of the grades in which they
are placed, and furthermore, re-
tard the work of the other pupils.
There are in the first six grades
more than enough children OF
these types to fill an ungraded
room. Such a class under special

advancement for the children dl-
rectly concerned, as we'll as IN a
more equitable opportunity for the
remaining children in the grades

From time to time throughout
the year requests have come from

admitted at the middle of the year.
A serious difficulty met through
out the grades has been the attend
ance problem. Percentage Of at
tendance has ranged all the way
from 65 percent to 90 percent in
the various grades. In attempt
ing to meet this problem, the prin-
cipal has been unable to secure
any action or means to break up
this irregular attendance. The en-
ployment of a truant officer and
the prosecution of one or two of
the aggregavated cases would go
far toward bringing about a bet
ter condition of affairs in this re-
spect.
Closely allied with the attend
ance problem is the problem OF
tardiness. The cooperation OF
parents with teachers would help
to solve this difficulty. The pur,
chase of an attendance banner fol

month by the room having had the

and punctuality during the preced

Mr.. R. P. Koehler, principal of

this week presented the report of
the wear to the Board of Education.
Mr.. Koehler's communication fol-
lows:
To the Board of Education,
Newark, Delaware.
Gentlemen:
| beg leave to submit the follow
ing report for the school year of
1917-1918:
Newark Public Schools opened on
Monday, September 3rd, 1917, with
an initial enrolment of more than
500 pupils, about one hundred of
whom registered for class in
Grades 9 to II. During the year,
this total enrolment was increased
to 625; because of Withdrawals
and removals, however, due to the
normal shifting of population, the
average enrolment remained al
about $50 pupils in the clever
grades. These pupils at the be
ginning of the year were in charge
of ten grade teachers, three higf
school teachers, teacher D
music, and the principal.
Early in the year it becam'
necessary to make division in tn
first grade, which was made up o
, 65 pupils. The pupils in this grad
were accordingly put on half tim
, for the first half of the year, whel
! another first grade teacher wa
! emploved for the remainder of tn
! wear, to take care of part of thes
children and of a score of childre
