Suggestion that the city utilize a

doubic- tracked car line and concrete
driveway only ten minutes from Sew

the needs for many years.

several members or the council and

be accessible To thousands Of young

with the proposal that there be

National Forget-Me-Not Day

Cincinnati, Sept. 21.--America' g
school children are to enter into the
plans for National Forget-Me-Not
Day., Saturday, November 4, for the
disabled and wounded American vet
Grams of the world war, according to
announcement by. C. Hamilton Cook,
national commander of the Disabled
American Veterans of the World

arrived at national headquarters of
the Disabled American Veterans aft
ter tour of the eastern states, re-
ports keen interest in the Forget Me-
Not Day movement on the part of
hundreds of schools in many cities
and towns. School principals and
teachers have secured the co-operai
tion of the children in the great na.
tional activity of making the forget
me-nots from paper and other ma
terials; and turning over the results
of their efforts to the local commit
tees arranging for the November
Day" One half-hour or an hour
each week is devoted by the children
to the making of the little artificial
| flowers that are to be sold as "For-
get Me-Not Day" favors throughout
the United States, on Saturday, No.

| New schools are taking up the
practice, reported Captain Cook, who
predicted that during the coming
fortnight the greater number of
schools in the United States, public
private and parochial, will have join
ed in the national offensive of flowers
making, that is to result in splendid
assistance and relief for the many
thousands of Americas wounded and
disabled heroes of the great war.

Parents are Fined When
School Children are Late

Charlotte Amelie, St. Thomas, v
l., Sept. 21.-The Virgin Islands have
he nearest to 100 percent attendance
in the public schools of any state
territory or possession of the United
States, according to comparative sta
tistics from Washington.
The school year which has just
opened probably will show as high
percentage of attendance as last
wear, which was a fraction less thar
SO percent. 1t is not unusual for q
school to report 100 percent attend.
.ance week after week.
There is compulsory education fol-
all children from six to Is years OF
age. When a child is absent from
school without proper excuse the pa
rents are fined 20 cents for each day
of absence. Parents are fined 10
cents for every time a scholar is
tardy. When sickness is reported as
the cause of absence, school nurses
in estigate, and only on certificates
from these school nurses is the ex-
cuse of illness recognized. Simple
treatment by the nurses frequently
makes it possible for a child to re-
turn to the class room.
With this system of fines playing
hockey" is practically unknown in the
Virgin Islands.
When the United States by pur-
chase acquired the Virgin Islands
from Denmark in 1917, there was al
ready well established public school
system, and it is estimated there was
less than five percent ilfiteracy in the
island. The school system, however,
then extended only to the sixth grade.
Since then the seventh and eighth
grades have been established general
ly, and two junior high schools nave
been opened, with the junior year be-
ing offered this year for the first
time. In another year it is planned
to establish the fourth and last year
of high school study.
Children in the Virgin Islands. are
anxious to learn, according to School
Director Nase, head of the insular
system, and the collecting of fines
for hardness and absence does not
yield more than $40 per month. This
year there are Is school teachers
from the United States givingt'in
structions in the Island schools, while
all OF the other teachers are Virgin
Islanders.
