High School Students Will Gain
Advancement by Their Work
Throughout the Term
ENFORCE ATTENDANCE LAW
High school students are io gain
advancement in their classes In the
same, manner aa persona engaged In
the work of every day Ufa gain ad-vancement,
by constant, regular and
efficient work. Then' will be no
more of taking things easy tor B
time and then cramming to pass the
examinations at the end or it:, term.
The school board, at a regular
meeting htld last evening, adopted
the recommendation or the superin-tendent
that the end of the term ex-aminations
be abolished and ad-vancement
be given the pupils ba led
on their daily work throughout the
term* The new method become
receive immediately.
..Superintendent Eckert saia me
term examinations were unfair to
many pupils and did not really prove
the fitness of the student (or ad-vancement.
He said a bright but
lazy student may neglect his work
during tin' term and by doing a little
extra work previous to the examin-ations,
can easily pass while pupils
Of nervous temperment, who have
worked hard daily and know their
subjects, become so nervous and
confused at an examination thai it is
impossible for them to do justice to
themselves, and under the method
heretofore used, the result of the
term examination counted only one-fifth
in the general average. He
said the regular monthly tests would
be continued and promotion4 made
upon the average attained by the
tally work of the pupil and it would
be an incentive to do better work.
Another advantage was that doing
Hway with the estimations gives
Ihe students four more school days
each year.
Evading School Law
The superintendent reported hlB
activities in enforcing the law re-quiring
the attendance of children al
school. He said the people misun-erstand
the law and believe that he
is forcing children of school age to
attend school on his own account.
He cited an experience with a rep-resentative
of a labor union. The
representative called upon him and
asked that he release a boy 16 years
of age from attending continuation
school aa he could secure the boy a
position at good wages if he were
permitted to work lull time. Mr.
Eckert explained that the Child La-bor
law of the State governeu tne
situation and that he had no power
to modify the law. He also cite a
case where a father had beau keep-ing
a child at home claiming he
could not secure a housekeeper.
The man was arrested twice and
each time the local magistrates gave
permission for the child to remain
at home for stated periods. Mr.
Eckert Claimed housekeepeis had
been provided for the man but he re
fused to employ one one. The sup-erintendent
said he was placed in a
very undesirable position in enforc-ing
the State law and the school
board instructed him to have an in-vestigation
made here by an in-vestigator
of the Child ijibor depart-ment
of the Slate
High School Increase
The board has a serious problem to
solve for the accommodation of the
high school students in the near fu-ture.
Superintendent Eckert submit-ted
for the consideration of the board,
figure BMttlng for th the increase in
students to be expected within the
next three years. The present enroll-ment
is 1311. In June, 1920, 49 pupil?
will leave the school and HO will en-ter,
ebruary, 1982, 4E pupils will
leave and 166 will enter which will lie
an Increase of ir,3 within three years.
There will be some pupils leave school
hut the number will be small.
Sex Lectures
The Government is providing lec-turers
to visit high schools and give
lectures before the female pupils on
sex hygiene. It has been requested
that the lectures be given here and the
board *rav the permission. There will
be | coins eof three lectures. The
first lecture will be given before the
mothers of the pupils and should
there be any objection by the moth-ers,
their daughters will be excused
from attending the lectures.
Other Business
The treasurer reported a balance In
the general fund of 11664.24 ami
MS786.08 in the linking fund.
The lax collector reported the col-lection
of $2000 in taxes during the

teachers and the public by Dr. Hails-worth,
Thursday v< ning, February
20, in the school auditorium and will

The BOpetntcndent reported that It
lias been decided to hold a county
institute thin year and Ihe dale has
been set for the first week in Septem-ber,
so ;,s not to interfere with the
school sessions.
The superintendent also received i
letter in reply to an inquiry as to
whether Conshohocken could hold an
institute i.f its own. from the State
superintendent of education, saying]
that if the borough has the required
number of teachers for an institute,
it may hold its own institute and be
paid by the county, but the superin-tendent
was in doubt if the county
would pay for an institute composed
of the teachers of both this district
and West Conshohocken.
Miss Margaret Toggari was elected
,i teachi t in tin' grades at salary of
$70 per niotnh. She began her duties
ot the opening of the new term last
Thursday.
Architectural and mechanical draw-ing
will be resumed in the manual
training department.
Owing to the crowded conditions In
the grades, the continuation school
will be removed to the second story
of the manual training building. This
is necessary as in one room in the de-partmental
grades there ate 58 pupils
and next September 60 pupils will en-ter
that room from the Hairy Street
school and only 30 will he advanced to
the high school. The board sanction-ed
the obange of quarters for the con-tinuation
school.

session of the State School Directors
Association at Harrisburg, tomorrow

LOCAL GIRL TO ENGAGE
Miss Dorothea Jones Will As-sist
In Reconstruction and Re-lief
Work in France.
WILL SAIL ON SATURDAY
While several boys were playing
along the river bank in Bridgepoit
on Sunday af/ernoon. one of .the lads
saw a suit case near the runway in
the rear of Jones and Wright flOUl
mill. The boys quickly crossed the
stream and lifted the package, which
waa partly in the water, to dry land
and opened it.-
They were startled to and the suit-case
contained the dead form of a
male infant. John Coppich, who first
reached the scene look a hasty depart-ure.
He told some men standing on
Dekalb street of the discovery.
Several persons hastened to the spot
and were shocked to see the form of
an apparently new-born infant lying
in the suit-case. Several small irar-met-
tS had been packed nrottnd the
little body.
Policeman James McOrory was no-titled.
When he arrived ho took
charge of the remains and noli lied
Coroner William Neville. Tho suit
case and contents were later taken in
charge by Undertaker Arthur n. Bai-ley.
The supposition is that the suit-case
was carried to the rear of the mill on
Saturday night and thrown towards
the (lowing stream witli the belief
that it would float down the river. It
may also have been thrown into the
water from the bridge and floated to
where It was found among; the rocks.
On me end of the suit-case ate the
Initials, apparently put there with lead
pencil a Ion;; time ago. and now al-most
too faint to recognise. The let-ters
appear to be "K. B. D." The suit
