Supt II. q. Young saws in his
monthly report: Il wish it were pos
sible for me to report an improve
ment in the matter of attendance, but
the continued prevalence of such dis
orders as mumps. grip, whooping
cough, etc, has caused an absence
record of 3. .567 davs. Such a number
of days OF absence cannot but SER
iously affect the progress of those
pupils VINO are out of school
and indirectly those who are
present. | have hoped the
climatic conditions might become
more favorable and the health of the
community be correspondingly i'm
proved, but the severe weather
continues and the absence list is
still very large. The absence has not
been confined to children, for during
the month there were reported "a half
davs of absence of teachers. OF this
number IS occurred at the Grant
school and % at the Longfellow school.
Practically all of the absence of
teachers was caused by illness and
was therefore unavoidable. During
the month - new pupils were ad-
mitted to the schools, making the en-
rollment for the year 1920. The
average number belonging for the
month was 2 1896, while the average
daily attendance for the same time
was 2,S17. thus causing daily alb
sence of 179."
The number of pupils neither alb
sent nor tardy was ,533; special pro-
13; teachers whose schools
made per cent of attendance of 81,
Miss Platt, Lincoln; Miss Battles, lrv-
ing; Mrs. Lundy. LongfeIlow; and
High school. The highest per cent
of attendance (9S.91) was made by
Mrs. Lundy's school, and second
highest by the High school.
