"Considering the Intervention of the
HOLIDAYS during this month" Superin.
tendent Eggleston SAYS, "the attend.
ance is gratifying. The children we're
espt cially prompt in returning on the
re.opening # school after the HOLIDAYS.
As there still seems TO be good deal OF
ignorance on the part Of parents whv
written excuses are demanded tor tardi-
ness and absence, it seems to me it
would be W II if copy of the laws,
| pTlHleu IT Tue puT pOSt, ue SSnl W eNS'S
parent who has child in the schools.
Parents do not seem to understand that
piece of paper wi signature at
tached is not an excuse. A careful pc
rusal of some good unabridged diction-
arv might save trouble in this matter.
A valid excuse is sickness. In regard to
the children who nave lett school
through indifference. such causes as
follow were given bv some of the teach
ers: 'Stopped just So Doesn't wish
to come and in one case, NO cause,
hut prefers to run the streets, and
mother not able to control him The
law which taxes citizens to bu Id school
hous 9. and then does not comprl indii'
ter-nt and ignorant people to utilize the
schools goes just halt way. For fear it
may he overlooked. attention is called to
, the fact that four pupils have lett school
through inability to buv shoes. rhe
