CUT IN FREIGHT RATES To increase building activities in the country, the United States rail road administration is planning to cut freight rates on material for roads and for general building construction Director General Hines, of the-rail roaa administration, Deueves mat tne reduction in the rates wilK stimulate shipments to an extent v that, even with the reduction, the railroads will make money. 'V -.:"-. v:-':-; There has been scarcely any bund ing in -the United States during she past two years. . Material, particular ly steel and lumber: has coBt too much. . There has been a-th'ght reduc tion in prices since the signing of the armistice, but the. cut has not-been sufficient. The reduction in freight rates, however, will force a sufficient reduction to encourage the letting of many contracts during the spring months, It is believed, ' ; , Solution to Unemployment Problem' Building is held to be the im mediate solution to the unemploy ment situation, - especially In the North and East. There-hat been a let-up in: the' demand for manufac tured articles of the less essential descriptions,' so that factories which are being turned over from war ma terials to peace-time products are un able to absorb the labor surplus, Jf private building enterprises v go ahead, government officials believe, there, will be work enough for every one.' v , v 5 '' , - .

W.-Brdshaw.)' ' For more than four, months there have been no reports made through the papers of the attendance, grade 01 work done, and honpr rolls of the city schools.' . Of course the cause for this was the disorganization' and ir regularities brought about by the epidemic of influenza and other sick ness.. But now that the malady seems to be almost, if not quite, gone from our midst we .shall go back to our former custom of making some sort of report and now and then a little comment on conditions at the 'end of each school month, : - t., The attendance, of course, has been much below normal all during the past months since . September,-, and certainly .there are numbers of chil dren who will for one .cause or an other not return to school this term, but generally speaking conditions are almost normal ' The attendance has steadily and rapidly grown for the past four weeks until at the -present time over four hundred are attending regularly. And a great majority of these are doing splendid work and are willing .to co-operate ' fully - in trying to make their promotion pbsr sibie this spring when the term closes. ' ' And this leads uo to the Question that has so often been asked: "When will school close, and will the cm! dren make their sradesT'; It has been decided by the school trustees that the schools shall close on June the ' sixthi The Senior class will be graduated at that time, and the col leges of the State have agreed to take those that apply for entrance into thejr freshman classes just as they have done heretofore. And just as the seniors will be graduated, as also will the other ' grades be promoted to; she next higher grade. The pass ing: mark, which heretofore has been the basis of promotion, is 70 per cent and will be required this year, both fof : graduation and , for promotions, and the examinations and marks wili be - based on the. work actually covered. ., - V The honor roll wss discontinued be cause it seemed wise under the. con ditions to do so.. . It will make its appearance again when the present month closes. The object in having an honor roll is to encourage chil dren to attend regularly and punct ually, and to do a good grade of work. Ana at no time in our school lives has there been a time when normal, well' and hearty children should feel the .importance of going to school eveyiday,ypn ;time, and with lesson iU'3BWpareumre,uian at tne..pras- ior tne Test or uus scnooi No child should be kept at home, nor allowed to stay out of school a single day except for the most urgent cause, and seldom, if ever, should there be 'a valid excuse for a child's going. to school late. We want' the biggest honor roll at the dose of this month that the local papers have ever published. HENRY W. ALLEN Henry W. Allen died in a hotel in Washington, D.
