The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1867-188?, 1884-07-02

1t is always pleasant, In summarizing
years work to find that it itcorresponds
favorably with the, work Of the preced-
ing year, and comparing this my fifth
annual report with that of last year,
we, your teachers, have reason to feel
that our endeavors to secure faithful at
tendance and good work were not in
vain. The total enrolment for the
year was 566, only two more than that
of last year, owing to fewer pupils in
the Primary Grades. But the average
monthly enrolment was 466, as COM
pared with 451 last year, while the
average daily attendance was 442, or 16
more than for last year. '
The per cent of daily attendance,
based upon the attendance due as COM
pared with the actual attendance, was
SO per cent-nearly one per cent higher
than for last year. "
One year ago we regretted 10 record
100 cases of tardiness, while this year
we are glad to report but 70, the best
record for punetuallty during the last
five years.
| Last year our enrolment Of foreign
pupils numbered 70, with tuition
fund of 5000, while this year we ell
rolled 80, with tuition fund of $7l8.
Four counties were represented during
the year, in our foreign enrolment.
Of the 566 pupils enrolled, there were
27S boys and 2S8 girls. Of these 2l3
were in the Primary Grades, and 25S in
the Grammar Grades. While last
years report showed that there were
43 pupils enrolled for less than three
months during the year, this year al
