All of tho puplla of tho CA clans who took tho physiology examination passed; nil of Uio 81) who woro allowed to vrlto on physiology nnd geography nt this tlmo also passed. Of tho SA jlass thcro wbb hut ono failure Al though several conditions wore lm )H)80(1, principally In civics, ono n .grammar and two In arithmetic. . At thn closo of tho report month ending last Friday tho number of pupils attending school In district No. 12 was 334. the number at the corresponding; time last year was 588. Tho attendance by rooms was ss follows; High school 41, Miss Huntington 21; Mlstt Trautnor 33; Miss Ilyron 23; Miss Holmes 20; Miss Young 29; Miss ntttnor 26; Miss Dolsen 35. Mrs. Davidson 30; Miss Sldner 32; Arnold school 13; Young school 1G. Tho aboro figured do not include pupils who htivo been absent for 3 days or moro. oven though they may be only temporarily out of school, Somo interesting figures have been -worked out. upon the basis of high nchool records for the first half year, to show tho relation between attend nnco and standings obtained. Pupils were Arranged In four groups? (1) those who had been neither absent nor tardy; (2) those who had been nbsent but not tardy;' (3) thoso who had been tardy but not absent: (41 thoso who had been bdth absent and tardy In the course of tho semester. The following results were obtained: Average Max Mtn 89.6Co 93.70 82.25 Group (1) Group (a) 87.03 94.20 81.75 85.51 90.60 80.50 86.04 89.90 76.60 Group Group (J Comparing groups (1) and (2): yuplls In (2) had avoragod 2.05 days absence each: their average stand ings am 2.63 per cent below thoso of (1); roughly speaking, a day's ab sence signifies a loss of 1 per cent In avcrago standing, yet a pupil who lias been absent not more than ono or two days may obtain as good marks aa one who has not missed tiny time. Comparing groups (1) and (3): pupils In (3) had averaged two cases of tardiness each; roughly -speaking, a caso of tardiness signi fies an avorage loss of 2 per cent or Is twice as costly In Its effect as n day's absence on the average, prob ably because tardiness Is due mainly to lack of effort wheroas absence is not; that is, lack of effort Is twice as detrimental in Its effects as is loss of time. Concerning group (4): super ficially, It would appear that this group did hot suffer so heavily for absence and tardiness: reallv. how- ever, "when one notes the failure of any pupil to make a high maximum, and tho first appearance of his fail ures (average, tielow 80), one per calves that (4) is distinctly the poor est group in the high school; fur thor, these pupils were absont on the average 2.77 days each and tardy 2.1 times each; that is, pupils who are both absent nnd tardy aro llkoly to be absent -and tardy more than are those whoso infractions of perfect Real Estate t 9 r i 'i V' j " OT- Office corner Wall attendance consist of ono form only. To test thoso conclusions they were applied to tho records of two grndo rooms (Miss Trautnor'a and Miss Holmes'). Now, pupils In group (2) woro discovered to have boon nbsont on tho averngo 1.95 days nnd tho loss In standing wns 1.1 per cent, tho loss per day's absence being not quite so high ns before but still suf ficiently similar to boar out tho as sertion that even n few days' nbsonco materially affect pupils' work. No comparison could bo made for group (3) that would bo very conelualvo bo cnuso It was found that only ono pu pil In each room fell Into this class. In group (4) howovor It wns found that tho average absence was 5 days, and average tardiness 3.7 cases; this Irregularity should cause an average reduction In standings of somothlng llko 12 per cent ns compared with group (1) of tho samo room If wo apply the cost charges detrimental in i tho high school; as a matter of fact I the loss was approximately 10 per cont, again bearing out the rncts de termined In tho high sohool In a gen eral, if not an exact, manner. General conclusions: (1) Pupils who aro nolthor absont nor tardy aro, on the whole, thoso who mako the most effort and obtnln the best re sults. (2) A day's absence It not re peated may not prevent a pupil from high marks, but on tho avorage Is suro to reduce tho standing of the pu pil. (3) A caso of tardiness Is llko ly to bo twlco ns exponslvo as a day's absenco becauso It Is In genoral tho result of a habit of Inexactness and carelessness; absenco Is less fre quently tho result of an Indifferent attitude but If such Is tho caso ab sence will naturally bo ovon moro costly. (4) Pupils who aro both alt sent and tardy aro likely to have moro absenco and mora tardiness than thoso who havo not moro than ono form of trrcgulnrity, and conse quently have much lower standings. (5) Failure will probably bo round among pupils of tho last namod group rather than among thoso of tho othor groups. (6) Parents who permit their pupils to absent thomselves from school, or to bo tardy, unnec essarily, are fostering an exponslvo attltudo of Indlfferonco nnd careless ness. (7) Tho custom of school sys tems of fighting Irregularity of at tendunco Is Justified as a safo, sano proccduro nnd not ns a whim of par ticularity on the part or teachers.

LAND BOARD IS UNFAVORABLE (Continued from Togo 1) handled by tho 8lato or Federal" Gov ernment. 'Discussion by tho Hoard. As soon as tho resolution had bean presented, Troaauror Kay objected, saying It would nbt bo binding, and thnt ho was opposed to tho stato hav ing anything to do with any moro projects. Tho Govornor declared tho pur poso was to outline n policy for tho board and to clean up all Carey act projects. Ho said that thoso that could mako good tho board would support, but tho others ought to bo cleaned up. Attorney Oeneral Crawford moved that tho paragraphs numborod one nnd two be ndopted and the last two be rejected, but this was not put for tho want of a second. The resolu tion was then ndopted by all voting for It oxcept Troasurer Kay. "I am opposed to the resolution be enuse it cannot hind the board," de clared Mr. Kay. "We can do ss we plae at any meeting nud tho ro lotion means nothing. Furthnr I am opiMistMl to It because I have nevnr favored the state taking hold of this problem. It hi all buncombe " Secretary of State Olcott was not present at the meeting. Following the adoption of this resolution the Governor Introduced tho resolution referred to commit ting tho iKiard to the North canal plan speclllcnlly, but found himself tho only ono voting for It, Mnesrs.

When tho governor and tho other mombora of tho board opimsod this, Itowls, opposed tho entiro resolution, against which all tho mombora voted except thn governor, Lowls snld he was opposed to thn stato taking up any projects until after the people voted on a constitutional amendment, which will be submitted at tho next election, making It posslhln to bond thn state for such projects. Following tho meeting Governor West mndo thn following statement- "Tho action of the Desert Land Hoard will In no manner put a stop to our endeavors to bring relief to tho settlers upon tho i u. i.
