Superintendent of Schools Roncovier! esterday issued a notice to Chief Cen- ties to ascertain the names and ad- dresses of all the children between six and 14 years of age who are reported by their parents or guardians as not having attended any school (public or private) during the present school year or who are not now in attendance in some public or private school. Depu- tles are to make special Inquiries on this point and make dally reports to | the Buperintendent’s office. Roncovier! says the object of the no- | tice 18 to locate some 18,000 children between the ages of six and 14 years who do not attend school and who, un- der the child labor law, are prohibited from working. As the funds received from the State are based on the actual dally attendance of pupils, it is pro- posed to compel the children between the ages mentioned to attend school. The reports from the census mar- shals will be entered on cards contalin- ing the name and address of the child under investigation. These cards will be flled away and the five truant offi- cers will endeavor to locate the child and make a report thereon. The cen- sus marshal will make particular in- quiry of parents as to the whereabouts of their children so far as those of school age are concerned. —————— Tnters Into Contract Marriage.

('S SALARY CUT IN HALF Superintendent of Delivery Reduced to Charge of Station in 'the Mission MANY CHANGES BY FISK Inspector Madden Is Raised to Important Department in Responsible Division Postmaster Fisk fired his bolt yesterday and made the long expected changes ‘‘for the betterment and reform of the postal service.” There was a great flutter in the marble-lined building, and the disappoint- ed ones were heard to ‘‘mutter and mut- ter and mutter their prayers.” The most important change was the reduction of A. M. Cox from the post of superintendent of city delivery, at $2700 per-.annum, to that of superintendent of Station C, in the Mis- slon district, at $1300 per annum. Post- office Inspector R. W. Madden, who un- earthed the defalcations of Mary Louise Bowen and C. J. Harrington in the Oak- land postoffice, was given Mr. Cox’s po- sitlon as superintendent: of city delivery. All the changes will take effect on April 1. Mr. Fisk sald that the changes had been made for “the good of the service.” He scoffed at the suggestion that his action had any savor of politics whatever, but he did not deny or admit that he had acted in pursuance of plans discussed be- tween himself and the Postmaster General at Washington, D. C., on the occasion of Mr. Fisk’s two months’ visit to the na- tional capital recently. ““With reference to all this talk about friendly relations between Willlam F. Herrin and Mr. Cox,” sald Mr. Fisk, “I don't know that Mr. Cox is even ac- quainted with Mr. Herrin,” and the ex- pression of the Postmaster's face was as innocent as a sunny day. . Mr. Cox declined to discuss the matter. The following 1s the list as handed down: R. W. Madden, transferred from divi- sion of postoffice inspectors to be superin- tendent of delivery. A. M.
