Absent and Tardy Ones.

During the five months ending with
January 24, there were 1909 half days
of absence and 312 cases of tardiness in
the grades from the 9th TO the 18th in
our schools. OF this the 9TH and 9Th
grades furnish 3li half-days of absence
and A tardy marks; the ith and Sth
grades 3iS half-days of absence and 81
tardy marks; and the high school 5l4
half days of absence and pa tardy
marks | do not believe that there is IL
pupil in school OF Il patron in the dis
trict who is proud Of such record.
Those who have been negligent in the
past are apt to be so in the future. |
have therefore decided to publish the
names of those tardy or absent from
duty without an excuse which would be
satisfactory in il well regulated manu-
featuring institution which employed
upwards Of 100 workmen If the aver
age tardy one Is 10 minutes behind, 312
cases would amount to 93 school hours,
or l5l, days. 1t is easy To see that
these two causes have lost us over 600
days of school work already this year.
The following named pupils have been
tardy without satisfactory excuses as
many times since February 3 as are i'll
dicated after the name of each:
