Parents will notice that the number of cases of tardiness in all departments
for the month amounts to ???.
It is the aim of the teachers to vastly improve the punctuality during the
present and hereafter, and to this and the active aid and influence of the
parents are sought. The average daily attendance should be greatly
increased. Irregular attendance by a portion of the pupils confuses the
classes, lessens the interest and makes the school work drag. Parents are
urged to come in, witness the workings of the school, get acquainted with
the teachers and their methods, and thus greatly aid us by the moral
influence of a visible interest.
B.W. BRENTNALL, Principal.
