PALIsADE BOYS
TO GET GYM WORK.

The boys of the Palisade Union
Church got start on their gymnastic
work this week. Rev. Mckenzie has
been given permission to use the pub
lie school for giving the boys lessons in
the work, and there was a good party
of them out Thursday night, when the
preliminaries got start. The young
sters are enthusiastic over the plan,
and Mr.. Mckenzie says he will have
some very active and athletic boys
here before great while. Nothing
better has ever been done for the boys
than this. Gym work is sadly needed.
Soon we shall hear of fiap-jacks being
turned on the way to school mornings
and contortion work any old time.

Heavy Sentences
Given Saloonrnen

The man who was sent to Jail for

he had been conducting a wide-open
business. Abraham Brown of the Ma
tional Hotel, Englewood, was SEN

" Age Grade Table
Cliffside Schools

In MS monthly report 90 tasr Hs,sllza
of Education, Acting Supervising
Principal Robert Burns gives some in
formation concerning the age of the
pupils in the schools of Cliffside Park
which isSexeeedingiy interesting.
Mr.. Burns prepared an sage Grade
Table" which shows the number and
also the per cent of normalage, aver
age and underage pupils in the schools.
In the table, which is given here, the
first column of figures is for the Grant
wood school, the second, Cliffside, the
third School No. 1, the fourth the
Junior High School and the fifth the
Senior High School:
L 2 8 4 5
Total No. Pupils. .407 40 142 1914 23O
No. of Normalage 203 1877 95 81 80
No. of Overage. Ill 1872 35 80 63
No. of Underage.. 81 81 u 81 6S
In the whole borough 1875 per cent
of the pupils are or normalage, 35.S
per cent average and 1876 per cent I'M
derage, which means that less than one
half of the pupils are in the grades in
which they rightly belong, according
to their age. In several instances
there are pupils who are four years
over age.
In his report Mr.. Burns sets forth
some of the reasons for average as
being natural slowness of the pupils,
i'll health, lateness in starting school,
moving from one school to another,
lack of knowledge of the English
language, etc. How greatly the late
ness in starting to go to school affects
the number of average students is
shown in School No. 1. In this school
there are only first grade pupils yet
80 of them are average.
