An increase of 2,072 over the number
admitted during the corresponding
| time of last school year.
Of this number 1918 belongs to the
| day school and 464 to the evening school
enrolment.
AS considerable has been said in re-
| gard to the large number of cases of tar
dineSs of pupils, and cases of absence
| and hardness of teachers, in our schools,
| | desire to make a comparison Of the
| above named points, in the month OF
| February for the years 1886, 1887 and
1883.

| The number of cases of absence of
| teachers, on account of sickness, during
the months of February Of 1886, 1887,
| 1888, is as follows: 1856, 1903: 1887, 103;
| 1888, 1873. The number Of cases of tardi-
| ness of teachers for the same month and
| years is as follows: 1886, 66; 1887, ~
1888, %.
Taking into consideration the largely
! increased number of teachers and pu-
| pills, it will be seen that the percentage
| of both absence and hardness of teach
ers and hardness of pupils is smaller
| than in previous years.
| am convinced that strong efforts are
made by principals and teachers that a
smaller number of cases of hardness
may be reported. l desire to say this
much with reference to the hardness of
teachers:
Quite large number of the teachers
live long distance from their schools,
their respective buildings on account of
delays in the street car lines. / most
firmly believe in prOmptneSS Oh the part
of both teachers and pupils just as far as
possible.
The daily sessions of the evening
schools closed on Friday evening, Feb.
"a. The attendance OF 1,S46 pupils,
children, young men and young women,
i'll these schools, although not in regular
attendance, can but bear good fruit,
both in the naer future and later on, in
higher intelligence and better citi-
zens. Respectfully submitted,
S. S. TAYLOR,
Superintendent Schools.
