MONTHLY REPORT
OF NEWARK SCHOOL
Superintendent Isgrig Submits Re
port Showing Progress of the
School Work
Report of the NewarK Public
School for the month ending Dec.
18th, 1914.
The term enrollment is as fol
lows: Boys, 179; girls, 152; total
331. We have these 331 pupils
crowded into six rooms, which is
too many for this amount of space.
As a consequence, the work of
both teacher and pupil will neces
sarily suffer neglect to some ex
tent.
The attendance has fallen off
some during the closing week of
the month. This has been due to
the inclemency of the weather.
The number of cases of tardiness
for the third month was about the
same as for the second month,
which would indicate some im
provement along this line as we
had an increased enrollment dur
ing the third month over the
second. Parents are urged to
see that their children attend reg
ularly and get to school on time, j
Parents are also urged to visit
the school and inspect the work \
being done and offer any sugges
tions for its betterment. We'
might be able to better instruct j
your child if you would call on,us j
and explain some of the home j
conditions.

Get up right in the morning. Go to bed right
at night. Start with joy in your heart, hope in the
future, kindness in your purpose. If it is a dark
day, nevur mind; you will lighten it up. If it is a
bi'ight day, you will add to the brightness. Give a
word of cheer; a kindly greeting and a warm hand
shake to your friends. If you have enemies, look
up, pass them by, forget and try to forgive. If all
of us would only think how much of human happi
ness is made by ourselves, there would be less of
human misery. If all of us would bear in mind
that happiness is from within and not from without
there would be a wellspring of joy in every heart
and the sun would shine forever. - Leslie’s Weeklv.

LiTTLE ROCK BANK
ROBBED IN DAYUGHT
Cashier, Teller and Stenographer
Imprisoned In Vault and Ban
dits Secure Over $3,600
Little Rock, Jan. 4.—The bold
est and most daring daylight rob
bery ever witnessed in this sec
tion occurerd at 2 o’clock this after
noon, when three white men en
tered the Central Bank & Trust
Company on Sixth and Louisiana
streets, and carried off $3,668 in
?old and currency after imprison
ing the teller, cashier and stenog
rapher.
T. E. Hale, teller, was engaged
in counting money in his cage
when the bandits entered the bank
one of them asking for change for
$5. As Mr. Hale reached for the
money to accomodate the man, a
large blue steel automatic revol
ver was whipped out and he was
told to keep your hands down.”
At the same instant the other two
men had covered Cashier E. E.
Walden and Miss Lucille Walden
with automatics, and all three
were ordered to back into the
open vault and fall on their faces.
Miss Walden, thinking the whole
affair a joke, laughed and refused
to comply. She was soon convin
ced of the seriousness of the “hold
up” being staged by these three
well dressed men, and with her
uncle, Mr. Walden, and Mr. Hale
she complied with the request.
The bandits locked the door and
made away with their haul.
Five minutes afterwards T. B.
Ford, in charge of the insurance
department of the bank, and Book
keeper J. D. Sullivan returned
from luncheon, heard the cries of
the imprisond trio and released
them.
