The teachers of the public school have
one great evil to contend with in their
management of the scholars-and that is
tardiness Now, In great many insta n
ces, this is the fault of the mothers, who
do not send the children in time. They
not alone injure tn emselves by their tardi-
ness. but the entire class is distracted
from the work IN hand, by the entrance Of
one child after school has been called.

inculcate habits of punctua.ity, which
will follow the child through life, and IS
one important point gained in the work
Of life. Be punctual-and the teacher will
be happy.
