The publication Of this report has been de-
layed BY the non-reception Of some district
reports, and the inaecuraey Of others. Nc
reliable statistics Of the condition and
progress Of the schools can be presented un-
less the data on which they are founded are
correct. A proper degree Of care viii GER
tainly secure correctness. No items are
called for whose conditions are obscure.
The amount Of tardiness, absence and dis
mission in the schools, as evidenced by the
district reports, must have proved q serious
obstacle to thorough scholarship.
It is very desirable that parents should
not allow their children to be absent, tardy
or dismissed, without important reasons bet
ter than can be found in the Incidence, neg
ligence or importantly Of the scholars them
selves.
Some Of the items presented in the several
reports are as follows;
