pill forms the habit Of being punctual

cling to Us through life. Each day we

Tested month after month.
The fact that the school has an in
creased attendance of about thirty pu-
pills over last year is not without its
significance. We feel assured that the
school interests are much greater, and
they should be, year after year, and
that the attendance will be more regu.
lar than eve before. No pupil car
possibly allow anything to come be-
tween him and his school work and
still keep his former position.
School is a workshop and not a place
where children lolI in idleness, and
come and go as the wind. AT the com
mencement of each school year. some
pupil who has formed a strong resolu.
ton to stick to school through thick

Perseverance is the secret to sue
