PATRONS OF THE DowAe1Ao Gp.nrn
ScHooL'-l would like to call your attention 70 /,
re" iacts furnished by my Report to the Schoo,
DoAra, 'or the mouth ending October Both 1890
'ne who're number enrolled is three hundred .,d

nine and sixty-four hundredths In the month
there were forty sessions and three hundred and
nine scholars for forty school sessions, or twenty
days equals one scholar for twelve thousand three
hundred and sixty sessions, or six thousand one
hundred and eighty days, or nearly seventeen
years. But our twenty per cent. or more than one
fifth of that time was not improved-the scholars
was absent You paid teacher one hundred and
seventy eight dollars for that months work-or to
teach that one child those seventeen years-but
you derive no benefit from the fifth part of the
time that the child was away, consequently tou
throw away thirty five dollars and sixty cents.
This is the showing on your side. On the teach
ers side it is little difieren. THE tea.her not
only works that fifth part of the time, but he
works another fifth much harder than would other
wise be necessary, to bring the absentees up to
the standard Of their classes. You are all well
aware that our school cannot be taught for the
same money or wish the same efficiency any
other plan as it can be taught the present
Graded plan; aud little reflection will satisfy
every of you that the success of the school de-
pepds very greatly upon the regularity of atten-
dance.
You doubtless consider that you have right to
keep your children out day, or two days, now
and them if you choose to do so; but have you not
entered into agreement with others to support
the school for the mutual advantage of all your aud
their children, and have fifth of you the right
to wrong the other four fifths of fifth of their
money, and what is of far grester value. the pre-
cious time of their childrens Again, have you the
right in view of the welfare of your own children
to deprive them of these advantages or even 10
permit them to absent themselves from them
Your own intents your obligations to your fellow
citizens, and to the minds committed to your care
for culture and training for usefulness all unite in
demanding of you hearty cooperation with the
teachers and Board for securing regularity and
punctuality of attendance of your children while in
school.
As compensation for this heavy per cent, OF abb
sences, We can report increased interest in the
studies on the part of those who are regular in
their attendance and, as evidence of our good
standing abroad the attendance of more than thirty
foreign scholars. Fellow citizens, patrons of our
school, let us not permit good name to suffer /;
let US not wrong school by requiring permit
ting children to be absent single session
when the most imperative necessity does not de-
mand it.
With heart and hand for the best interest of our
school remain your humble servant,
