SNYDER SCHOOLS
SHOW PROGRESS

Hon. School Board:
At this time, the close OF the
second month of our school session,
permit me to submit the following
report
Throughout the entire student
body there has been manifested q
highly satisfactory attitude both to-
wards the work to be done and the
observance OF such rules and regute-
tions as the best interests OF the
schools make necessary. An unusu-
ally large percentage of the. pupils
show q very careful preparation of
their daily class work. A highly sat
i-.lCtJry interest in their work Is
manifested by almost the entire stu
dent BODY al all times. But a very
small percentage requires coercion.
The attendance is highly gratifying.
There are. however, too many cases
OF tardiuess. Up to this time We have
been little slow in administering
puu.shmeu, for this offense for the
reason that in our efforts TO break
up the troublesome habit on the part
OF the children in coming to school
too early, We have naturally con-
fused some who either have no time
peace at home or seem unable TO
keep with Wetsern Union time, which
Is our sta Ndsrd. 1t is evident though
that some are taking advantage OF
this temporary leniency and for that
reason mild punishments are being
administered where IL Is evident that
the offence vas committed through
carelessness or indifference. Truancy
is very. very infrequent
From the standpoint OF conduct the
pupils have responded beautifully.
They appear to appreciate and TO re-
spect their teachers to the extent
that right conduct is the natural
result They are in a good humor and
do not seem to regard their work as
unpleasant tasks imposed upon them.
Punishments for misconduct are very
few. Especially is his true In re-
gard to corporal punishment,
Here feel that would be remiss
to my duty. if l failed to call atten-
ton to the very. very hearty coop
GRAFTON the entire teaching force has
given me at all times. the enthusiasm
manifested in every phase OF their
work and the patience displayed in
handling many ugly and trying ait
uations that arise because OF our
poor physical accommodations such
as buildings. worn out desks, broken
stoves, and inadequate working equip
ment OF all kinds. The splendid re-
suits being obtained under such con-
ditions. discouraging as they ara
both to teachers and pupils. can only
be obtained through the hearty CO.
operation. the unbounded enthusiasm
and the unflinching fidelity to duty
Of Just such a corps OF teachers as
are now serving the Snyder schools.
Again I must not fail to note the
splendid support, the very manifest
interest and the helpful cooperation
extended us at all times by the pa
irons, the Parent-Teachers Associa-
tion and you members of the School
Board individually and collectively
With a continuation OF this kind OF
sympathy and support can see ahead
OF US nothing but a most successful
years work.
Respectfully,
]. H. BURNETT.

British Cops
Riot Experts;
Carry No Gun
BN william l.. MalIabar, Intcrna-
tiOnal News Service Staff
Correspondent.

London, Feb L. The easy
almost apologize way in which
the British policeman handles a
crowd always impresses IL strang-
er, particularly an American.
The British bobby" has had q
number of opportunities lately of
demonstrating this manner of his
j. and he will, no doubt, have a
sreat many more chances this
winter with its many unemploy-
ment parades.
During recent disturbances all
! the newspapers - with the excep-
ton of the one bolshevik organ -
| commented on the good temper
and restraint shown by the police
in their very difficult job.
] IT must be remembered that the
British policeman does not carry
revolver. His only weapon is a
short billy" which he calls ba-
ton, and this is hidden away in his
pocket, to be drawn and used only
on the greatest provocation. When
using it he must be careful not to
hit his opponent over the head
with it, but must strike him only
on the arms or body.
In addition, he is hampcred with
an oilskin cape which he carries
rolled up and slung from his belt.
This, of course, is in his way when
be is defending himself or attack
'Hng a crowd. He occasionally finds
it OF use, however, as a weapon,
and it is certainly of more value
in dispensing a crowd than is the
little billy"
During the Whitehall riots last
long line of policemen advancing
against the mob Justify swinging
their capes-which, rolled in a
tight bundle, made a very effective
might stick
The cape has the additional adj
vantage, as well. of knocking a ri
otter down and leaving no mark.
1t is certainly liberal educa-
tion to see platoon of English
police moving on" a crowd. First
they stand in line, looking rather
bored at the whole proceedings.
Then they move out together and,
locking arms. try to force the
crowd along by sheer pressure.
When they succeed in getting it on
the move then they separate and
break it UP into small parties, all
the time saying move along,
please" or don't stop, please
Always the please" and if they
have to draw the "batons' they
seem to hit with great care so as
to do as little damage as possible.
But when they really lose their
tempers and see some of their COM
rades struck down - then the best
thing to do is to get to some spot
of safety as quickly as possible, for
they can handle 'em rough when
they have to.

His trial will not come until the

DENIES FILIPINOS
NEED PROTECTION

MANILA, Dec. 13.-Manuel Quezon.

We do not want nor need American
protection. 1t is unworthy of a people
clamoring for independence to ask for
help protection or compassion. Only
those ready to maintain independence
deserve freedom. If the Filipinos wish
not to live under a master they must
assume the entire responsibility for
their existence"
Mr.. Quezon presented a draft of a
platform calling for complete independ-
ence, the creation OF a new depart
ment OF health and sanitation, the
adoption of English as the official
language, the conservation Of natural
resources for and by Filipinos, woman
suffrage and the establishment of a
complete plan for national defense.
Mr.. Quezon has been assured by his
supporters that the platform will be

Trims Millions
From Payrons
Railroad Labor Board Cuts
Overtime Payment for
5S5,000 Employees.

CHICAGO, Dec. 10. - Additional
millions were trimmed from railway
payrolls in a decision handed down
by the Railroad Labor Board today,
providing for a radical change in
overtime payment for 5s5,ooo un-
skilled employees
The decision which abolishes
overtime until ten hours have been
worked, affects all maintenance OF
way employees. shop and roundhousc
laborers, and unskilled laborers Of
bridge and repair gangs. The war
time national agreements provided
overtime after eight hours.
This decision disposes of the
major part of the rules question,
and makes II possible to take up
wage consideration soon.
The board made no estimate of
the amount the decision will cut
from the pay envelopes. other than
to say that IL would amount to mill
lions 'in normal times"
The basic eight-hour law is un-
changed. Time and half for Sun
day work is eliminated. and en-
ployes taken from regular jobs and
transported in camp cars draw only
straight time for eight hours per
day.
Carriers by the new rule are en-
titled to arrange the time of the
working day by mutual agreement
with employees. This will eliminate
much Of the overtime.
