REVIEW OF WORK OF FIRST MONTH
 BY SUPT. LANz
School Work Has Been Very Satisfactory So far,
 States MT. Lang.
(By Supt. Lang ]

NDy ooP'' i<biiH
 The month just ended is a most encouraging one in so far as the Jnneau Public Schools are concerned The total enrolment for this year is. I believe, the largest in the history of the school. being at the end of mentary and high schools From an educational point of view these are glad tidings indeed andvif read correctly it should also be encourag ing from the commercial point of view.
 The figures making up the per cent of punctuality and attendance in both the elementary and high schools are very encouraging The high school shows 9659 per cent attendance and 99.59 per cent in punctuality, while the elementary Tchool shows 93.19 in attendance and 99.74 in punctuality. The sixth grade has 100 per cent punctuality record to its credit We are however, making every effort to improve these attendance and punctuality records and anything parents will do to have their children in school regularly and on time will be appreciated. Punctuality and regularity are two of the prime factors in business success.
 Parents have shown a lively in tereSt in the schools during the month. The total number of visits to the various classrooms is 23. Parents should take advantage of the privilege of visiting the schools frequently. We again take this op- portunity to extend to all parents cordial invitation.
 The school cafeteria has been re- organized on a new plan. Instead of the time of any of the domestic science classes being taken from this work, the preparation of hot nal training girls. This plan is working out in a very satisfactory manner. Children who come from homes out of town and who have to take their lunches at the school 
 should by all means be provided with some hot dish. Proper nour- ishment is one of the most important factors in the child's success in school work. The cafeteria plan puts at least one hot dish daily within the reach of all.
 Much has been done this month along the line of outside activities. The following organizations have been formed; Boys Athletic Asso- ciation, NJ. D. C., Boys Glee Club, Girls Glee Club, Associated Stu dents and High School Orchestra. The purpose of these activities is to further school spirit and to de- velop in the Nstudents civic training along various lines.
