Ia my last | quoted from the Report Of

elsewhere to promote the interests Of Pub
lie Education There is not a well organ
lied school inthe country where the great
cst Importance Is not attached 10 the reg

scholars and in those schools which are
the most successful this Is insisted upon
Now let US see the result il the above in
stance, the PERCENTAGE Of attendance for
the whole year was 9637. The highest
percentage vet attained in my own depart
ment Is 81 - and that too, for but one
week. twill be seen by comparison of this
with the weekly Report Of schools that
the percentage IF attendance falls very
