Files' report on schools for February contains the Zollowing matters of interest: During February etress of weather and illness, nome of it serious, have had an_effect upon the attendance fiz- ures. \There has been little trnancy, but much absence and mote tardiness than usual. This condition, without taking into consideration the con uting causes, would appear bad. No-Session s. Taking into considcration eve: that may be urged for and against a definite no-school signal, I am in- clined to the belief (hat, where the responsibility for attendance very properly rests with the parent, it is for the parent to determine wheiher to send children or not. Regardless of weather, our schoois are open and all Who can come safely will find plenty of opportunity for school work. One thing we are trying to_do for school boys and girls is 1o impress upon their minds that lifo has for them responsibilities. The work of the Wworld must o on in spite of weather Conditiéns. Whistles do not blow nor bells ring to warn father and mother that the mills will be closed, the banks, the etores or the offices be Closed for a ha¥t day or a whole day because of weather conditions. The world’s work must go on. The use Or ahuse of any no-gession signai yet devised for sthools operates noutralize this teaching. Text Book Accounting. There has been put into practice. a system of text book accounting that witl make easier work of checking up losses. Bvery new book as received is stamped and given a serial number. books are sent out on requisitions, the books 50 furnisicd are noted as to - text, condition and num- bers. A certain échool then is charged Wwith certain numbers of certain texts. 1t is then possiblg to locate any num- ber of any text so issued. The teach- ere’ records, roughly kept now, fihh"efl“hflr‘toumm- to ords, will show the pupils to whom the Dbooks are issued and s uch records {show the condition of the books as }werl. 2 { School Activities. ! At the Israel Putnam school the pu- {pils have undertaken to raise $63 to be applied to the Windham hall fund for the building of a dgrmitery at the Connecticut Colleze for Women. At the Smith street school the puplis of grades VI and VIT have recently raised money which is to be applied to the purchase of refereice books. Trade School. Schedules have been worked out i permitting the boys and girls of grades VI, VII and VIII to do trade school or vocationai work without the _breaks that could not be avoided year. The school vear was over a month old before the boys of these grades could <o any manual work and the delay‘was occasioned by the delays in_getting equipment at the trade school in shape for them. Office Hours. The 4-5 office hours of the euperin- tendent do not seem to meet the re- guirements. Many people, by appoint- ment, take tho evening hours for con- ferences. Their excuse is that their work is such as to make it impossible for them to confer with school officers during the day. To accommodate parents and others who cannot meet the superintendent during the conven- tional office hours I shall begin on Sat- urday, March 3, and on Tuesday and Saturday evenings thercafter to bc at the office in the Israel Putnam school from 7.30 to 9 in the cvening. These evéning office hours will be in addition to the regular office hours. General I would take occasion to commend he teachers for their attitude toward their work. Most Of our teachers are at_their schools from 10 to 12 hours a day, engaged at school work, and it's not unusual to find many of them at their rooms on Saturdays, busily en- zaged with work plans. Their spiri is commendable. SUPERIOR COURT OPENS.

Searls that a_grand jury be summoned for next Tuesday to consider evidence in_the case of the state vs. Leon Gilman, Wii- limantic, charged with murder as the result of the deaths of his cousin, Ed- ward E.

Bill, Danfei- son, made it known to the court that Stamm would prefer a sentence in jail to an indeterminate sentence in the state reformatory at Cheshire, so Judge Greens imposed a sentence of a year in jail William White Goes to Prison. William White, 33, pleaded guilty to breaking and en(ering a building at 11 Bim street, Willimantic, during the night season of Nov. 3, 1916. He said he came to Willimantic looking for work. He had_been living at Three Rivers, Mass. White scomed reticent about volunteering much information about himsclf or family and willing -to take whatever might be given him in the way of a sentence. Mr, Searls told the court that the building that White entered in Willimantic was occupied at the time of the break partly as a store and partly as a dwelling. White broke into the store part and wandered through into the sleeping quarters of the proprietor, who was awakened, grabbed his revolver and held White in_subjection until the arrival of the police. White was sentenced to not less than one nor more than two years in the state prison. 3 Danielsen Boy on Probation. Teo Belido, 14, Danieison, pieaded suilty to thett.
