Regular School Attendance

Some children start off the school year
with much interest and regular attend
ance; but as time goes on some of the
interest dies and attendance lags. Teach
ers can do much to keep this interest alive,
as can parents. 1t may need some extra
stimulation, but it will be well worth it.
AS the winter months approach extra
care should be taken on the part of parents
to keep children well. A sick child is not
only handicapped, but also often exposes
others to sickness, particularly in the case
of colds.
In short parents should give their COM
plete cooperation in seeing to it that their
children are in school. Sometimes they
may think that few days out of school
will do little harm; but it must also be
remembered that absences will do the child
little good. And the days that he is out
of school may be the most important days

five and put their men into the
van three other contests.
The Republican trend showed
plainly in New York, Massachu-
sets, Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and a number of other states.
Before midnight, Democratic Gov
ernor Maurice J. Tobin of Mass
achusetts conceded that he had
been unseated by Robert F. Brad
ford, Republican.

piled up a comfortable lead in
his attempt to beat Senator David
l. Walsh, Democratic oldtimer
who is chairman of the Senate
Naval Committee.
In 13, Republicans said they
either were sure they would
pick up Senate seats or were es-
pecially confident of Senate vic
tories. These were Ohio, Penn
sylvania. Delaware and Wiscon-
sin in the "sure" category: New
York, Massachusetts,, Missouri,
Idaho, Montana, Washington,
West Virginia, Wyoming and New
Mexico in the probable column.
In two more, California and
Kentucky, the Democrats said
they were confident of tossing
Republican Senators out of Of
flee.
In all these states, and in eight
more, races in 35 congressional
districts were so close in 1914
that the way they go this year
may determine who runs the
House. The other eight states:

Paraphrasing "for the want of nail
the shoe was lost" we might well say that
for want of attendance a lesson was lost;
for want of lesson a grade was lost; for
want of grade an education was lost;
for want of an education leader was lost;
for want of leader, a cause was lost. Lit
tie absences from school may mean the

Superintendent of Schools Ralph
Lanham with his family have return
ed from two weeks in Harrisonburg,
Va, where they had gone for a
vacation and visit with relatives.
However, it wasn't a particularly
enjoyable vacation for the school
head as he was in bed almost the
entire time with a severe attack of
'mumps. He says now he would like
to get away before school opens for
the vacation he thought he was
going to get two weeks ago.
And speaking of school, we over

much that she had her son bring

Speed Enforcement
Asked by A. U. Park

For the second time in year, the
American University Park Citizens
Association complained of violations
OF traffic laws on Western avenue
and Forty-ninth streets NV. in the
University Park area and asked city
traffic officials to enforce speed limits
on these streets.
The associations committee on
streets and avenues was asked to
study advisability of an underpass
along Massachusetts, avenue at Wis
consin avenue NV, to relieve
traffic congestion. The committee
was also asked to study the problem
OF better lighting of streets and al
leys in the area.
The association paid tribute to
Thomas Lodge and others for their
efforts in winning the recent coming
decision which classified the site of
the WAVE barracks at Massachu-
setts and Nebraska avenues NV, as
q restricted residential property.
In another action, the University
Park group protested the termina-
ton of some Capital Transit Co
buses at Forty-ninth and Massachu-
setts avenue during rush hours. The
present system, it was said, strands
passengers who wish to ride to the
end OF the Wisconsin and Fessenden
line.
Mr.. Newell conducted the meeting
IN the absence Of Robert A. Maurer
Jr., president. The association met
IN Hurst Hall on the American Uni
versity campus.
