School children. a prominent edu-
Gator once said. unconsciously adopt
the habits Of their teachers. If the
teachers are tardy in reporting to
their classrooms in the morning, he
said. some of the pupils inevitably
will form the habit. He urged prompt
ness in reporting for duty. and Dis
trict school authorities adopted his
plan by requiring all teachers to be
in the school building fifteen minutes
before the time for opening of school.
A record kept this week Of teach
ers at the Franklin School, head

not one has been late. On the con-
trary, they reported from forty-hve
minutes to twenty-five minutes ahead
of the required time.
