itably spent in helping teachers in
service.
Though in the main the foregoing
conditions have prevailed in other
communities, yet l think it well that
these facts be brought to your atten-
ton. On the other hand, let me state
that the teachers, realizing the situa-
ton, made the best of it and with few
exceptions, accomplished all that could
be expected of them. Most of the pre-
scribed work was accomplished and l
believe that as great a percentage of
the pupils as is usual will be able to
take up the mex higher grade of work.

teachers, | must make mention of the
fact that all of them have been espec-
tally active and that their work has

out.
Though there is no wanton violation
of the Truancy Law, yet, e%agerness on
the part of children to make money,
indifference on the part of parents,
and the large territory to be covered
by the Truant officer, nave made it
difficult for him to keep all of the
pupils in school. l hope that this o n
dition will be improved another year.
Every endeavor has been put forth
by me to see that the provisions of
the Physical Training Law be carried
out. But in a system so large as this
it is almost impossible to get the re-
suits desired without the assistance of
one especially skilled in this work.
The Assistant Commissioner and I
have recommended that a competent
Physical Training Instructor be en-
ployed for this work.
The following is a statistical table
for the year:

Percent of attendance. ......... .S412
The time will soon come when Pleas
antville will be compelled to erect an
additional building and it is to be
hoped hat one suitable for Junior
High School work will be built. This.
will make it possible to centralize most
of the industrial work and thereby
spare the time used by special teachers
in. going and coming from one build
ing to another.
In compliance with your request
that / ascertain the names of pupils
who have been held in one room for
several years, l shall state that, from
what statistics l have, no pupil has
been held under one teacher for sever
al years; but that there are pupils who
have not been promoted a full grade
each year.
Herewith is submitted a list of the
pupils selected from the different
grades to enter the special class. This
list was carefully prepared by the
teachers and principal of school No. l..

SAGE TEA DARkENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Grayl Here's an
Old-time Recipe that Any
body can Apply.

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded. gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark. glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull. faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home Is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays. by asking at
any drug store for bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition OF other in
gradients, which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
well-known downtown druggist
says 1t darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen q
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, il becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com

into Europe by the Crusaders, and is
