The highest number OF cases OF tardi-
ness In any one school was 699; the small
lest number 294 It Is due, TO Miss Dillon,
teacher in Division B, Fourth Ward
school, and To- the pupils under her chsrge,
to mention that there were but too cases
Of tardiness in this Sdivision during the
month Of March. I may venture 70 say
that this Is case almost without paralI
lei in the records Of punctuality. The
report Of Mas McKelVey, Of the same
school, shows but sig caseS whereas the
highest number reported by one teacher
was one hundred and thirty flor March,
and too. hundred Tor, February. Local
causes, however, beyond the control Of
the teacher, had much 70 do In the, latter
case.gnIi the school BUILDINGS oould tallbe
pfpsided with good bells, the evil Of tar
dihess would be ina large measure abated.
