Which school will have the best record for atten- dance and punctuality next month? The non-resident attendance is the largest in the history of our schools. We enrolled 44 non-residents in the high school last year, This year we have enrolled sixty-six. We have also enrolled twelve in the grades. In many respects this report is very gratifying; but it is not yet what it should be. The attendance should be better and there should be fewer cases of tardiness. Parents, only when absolutely unavoidable should a pupil be allowed to remain out of school or be tardy. The pupils of the first four grades are not required to prepare any lessuns at home. The fifth and sixth grade pupils should work at least thirty minutes at home. The seventh and eighth grades should study an hour at home. It is absolutely essen: tial that high school pupils-work two hours at home. If this home work is neglected the pupil is in danger of failing and losing his grade. Parents, will you not cooperate with us and -| see that this home work is done? A cordial invitation is extended to all parents to visit the school which This is an en- Respectfully. John O.

Jefferson City, Mo, Nov. 7.—The ~| school teachers of the state will make an effort during their annual meeting at Hannibal this week to inaugurate a move for the submission of a con- stitutional amendment under the ini- tiative and referendum at the general election next year of a mill-tax propo- sition for support of the public schools, the State University, the State Normals and Lincoln Institute. It is proposed to give one-third of the tax so imposed to the State Uni- versity, one-third to the normal schools and Lincoln Institute, and one-third to the public schools, the latter to be prorated as other school money.

Tuesday night while Class No. 7 was holding a masked party in the Methodist church some boys saturated a cat with the unwholsome odor of a skunk and turned the animal loose in the church. Pandemonium reigned from that moment.
