Important Innovation. One of the most important innova- tions in the schools in recent years is the establishment of a bureau of attendance. The importance and ne- cessity of the work and the method of it is outlined in the following report: The total number of children of school age, i. e., between 4 and 16 years old, in New Britain exceeds 15,- 000, The total number between 7 and 14, the compulsory school age, is approxi- mately 12,000—two-thirds of these be- ing enrolled in the public schools, and the remaining third in private and parochial schools. For securing thé regular and con- tinuous attendance of all children of school age, whether enrolled in pri- vate, parochial or public schools tho is 5:30 p. m, daily and at such othep times as may be required by :the de- mands of the work. The School Census. It is recommended further (1) that for the vear 1919-20 the annual enumeration of children of school age be assigned to the bureau of attend- ance; (2) that to carry out the work the employment of not more than 16 temporary assistant enumerators be authorized—all to be selected from the regular teaching force of the school; (3) that the school enumera- tion be made during the first weelk in September; (4) that the city be divid- ed Into not more than 16 districts of suitable size and, (5) that the tempo- rary enumerators be paid at the rate of $25 per week.

If accom- modations are impcssible in the City hall building, it is recommended that office room be assigned in the bureau of attendance department on the first floor of the Grammar school. School Enumeration, Acting upon the inquiry of Mr. Goodwin :bout the method used in making the school enumeration, Mr, | Holmes explained that the enumera- tion is made in accordance with the requirements of the state statutes. In the past if has been done by the reg- istrar of voters, costing $850 last year. | It will be begun in September this cear. There are at the present time 19 teachers who are willing to take up the work and it would appear that they could accomplish the enumera- tion in a week if two men can make a complete enumeration in four weeks.

This danger is equally great to all foods unless carefully kept in a cool place away from insects. Bad food loses its nourishing value. It causes constipation and diarrhea. These are at best always prevalent in the ‘summer time. They depress the mind and weaken the body, and may cause more serious illness. The first precaution is to see that the stools are regular and normal. In the case of babies and children, if less than twice a day you may suspect constipation; if more than three times a day, diarthea. A remedy is then DR CALDWELL'S SY¥TFUD The Perfect PERSONALS.
