HINTS TO EMPLOYERS
FROM CITY SUPL GARR
In Hla Annual Report Ho Touches
on Child labor Employment and
. Urges No Employer to Hold Any
Child Under Sixteen Years of Ago,
Who Is Not Able to Bead and
Write Will Insist on Enforcement
of Compulsory Education Act.
"No employer or child labor," snys
, City Superintendent of Schools Qurr In
his annuul report, "should keep In his
'employ children below the ago or 1G
yours, who are not 'able to read und
SClIOOIi Sl'PT. E. E. GARR,
Who Makes Pointed Suggestions us
Enfoiclng Compulsory School Act.
to
write the English language Intelligent
ly, U3 the law requires.
"Employers and mi rents should be
more considerate of tho future welfare
of the children. Children should be kept
In school until they have at least a fair
, understanding of the English branches;
In fact, there are very few crises where
children should be allowed to discon
tinue at school before having completed
the grammar grade work. I earnestly
urge the stiict enforcement of the law
in Its entirety during the ensuing
school term."
These pointed suggestions, ending
with tho earnest recommendation Indi
cate that tho crusade commenced
against negligent parents several
months ago, 'will bo renewed with in-
creased earnestness and vigor in Sep-
' tcmbcr, if circumstances call for such
action.
These timely hints by Superintendi-it
Garr are not the only ones of Interest
and value in his report, which, it might
be well suggested, could be read with
profit by every taxpayer. He prods the
assessors us follows, in discussing the
lists they present in compliance with
tho compulsory education act:
I also wish to slate that the asbPi.suiV
lists of children required to attend school
under the attendance law aro very Inac
curate and unreliable, ho much ho as to
lender them almost useless. 1'nlei-s thec
lists are reliable ic might as well not
have them and the district not spend tho
money to procure them. I suggest that
tho assessors' attention bo called to this
matter that hi the 'future they may bo
moro caret ul.
Need of Experienced Teachers.
Discussing tho influence of teachers
In the educational Hold and the neces
sity for tho employment of only teach
ers of known experience, Mr. Garr says:
With a few exceptions all of the teach
ers employed last year made a Conscien
tious effort to do excellent work. The
standard of Instruction can scarcely bo
too high. To this end the best teachers
that cun possibly be bad should bo em
ployed. The teacher Is the most import
ant factor In tho school and unless wo
hao nggres-Ive teachers who aie thor
ough In their work, we cannot expect
good schools.
In granting certificates, I have steadily
kept In mind the educational welfare and
proper training of the children. It has
been only on meilt that I have grunted
cortltlcatcs and merit alone must pre
vail. Conscious of tho teachers' influence.
in the educational development ami mor
al training of the children, I earnestly
urge that only teachem of known suc
cessful experience bo employed.
' The primary department Is highly
complimented, as follows:

The Truancy Problem Again.
The question of truants is further
discussed by Superintendent Garr, us
follows:
Whllo there Is a decieaso of 0 In tho

thero Is un Incicasu of USD u tho number
of pupils promoted throughout the city,

BELIEVE DANGER
IS NOW PASSED
No Fear Felt as to Further Spread
of Smallpox from the Thompson
Cases Quarantine Is Still Main
tained. It is now believed that the danger of
the further spread of smallpox from
the Thompson cases is now safely
passed. The period of liability of other
cases, the source of which would bo
those in the Thompson family. Is over,
nnd the physician and those associated
with him In dealing with tho situation
are correspondingly satisfied and
pleased that tho dreaded disease has
been so well confined. Thero will be
a corresponding response of feeling
throughout tho community, after this
cheerful announcement.
But now that the danger limit, with
reference to tho Thompson cases, is be
lieved to be over, It does not signify
that the quarantine about the afflicted
home, on Hospital street, will bo .re
layed in the least. On the contrary, it
will be rigorously malntalncd'ifor sev

Tho Thompsons are all making splen

SERIOUSLY ACCUSED
Anothor Sequel to tho Bonnettl Case,
in Which His Accuser Is Charged
with Enticing tho Scudder Girl

girl's father, who was outspoken yes
terday In his determination to prose
cute Mrs. Heap to the limit.
