This was the first appearance of

large and enthusiastic crowd of
supporters who, by their enthusi
astic rooting, enabled the girls to
come out with the large end of a
15 to 5 score, and the Newark
hoys to cop 13 lucky points while
their opponents were able to se
I cure only 11.
The girls game was started
promptly at 2:30 and was closely
contested during the first half,
this period ending with the score
5 to 3 in favor of the Newark
rnrlc I Hirinnr < Kf* 1 F

score was 11 and 11 and according
to the rules the teams were allow

two points thereby winning th<

PROGRESS OF THE
NEWARK SCHOOLS
I Superintendent Isgrig Submits Re
port of Work Done During
the Past Month
I
I To the School Board and Pa
i trons:
Herewith 1 submit to you the
.; report of the Newark Public and
High Schools for the month end
ing Nov. 20, 1914.
Enrollment: Boys, 145; Girls,
. 129; Total 274.
Days attended during month,
4444.
Average daily attendance 222.
Percent of attendanne, 811-10
, per cent.
Number of cases of tardiness,
40.
Number cases of corporal pun
ishment, 2.
Number of visits by Directors,4.
The co-operation of the patrons
is earnestly desired in making this
one of the best years in the his
tory of the school. Two of our
greatest troubles is in securing at
tendance and punctuality. Dur
ing the past month the attendance
was barely a fraction more than
, four fifths. There was also 40
. cases of tardiness. The patrons
can materially aid the teachers in
; reducing these evils to a mini
1 mum.
The literary work of the school
is being done in systematic man
ner and in most instances the
pupils are making good progress
3 in their studies. Some pupils are
2 shirking their work though and
1 by examining the monthly report
3 you can determine whether the
3 work of your child is up to a
3 standard. If the report indicates
1 that your child has been neglect
■1 ing its work you are urged to con
i fer with the teacher as to the bet
.! ter plan to follow in order to rem
jiedy the fault.
The order in the school for the
5 last month has been commend
able. Infractions and violations of
the rules have been few. Only in
two instances has it been neces
sary to resort to corporal punish
‘ ment. Parents can help the teach
ers in maintaining order by incul
cating in their child the habit of
■ obedience and respect to those in
,1 authority.
There is much room for the im
provement of the building,
grounds and equipment of our
school. There has been organized
. for accomplishing this purpose, a
School Improvement Association.
