our city.
The prosperity of our school depends
so much upou regularity in attendance
that we urge parents to see that their
children arc present every day and that

frequent absence are fatal to the progress
of the pupil, intolerance TO their class
es and lowers the standing Of the school.
There is greet rom for fesorm in this
matter among our people.
