The Oskaloosa herald. (Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, Iowa) 1885-1919, 1900-06-28


we take the following:
Average number belonging during
the year: Boys, SAL: girls, SSH;
total 1922.
Average daily attendance of boys,
1871; girls, Sl5.6 6; total 1873.
This is better than was expected
considering the serious interruption
occasioned by diphtheria, small pOx,
mumps, measles and whooping cough.
1t will be impossible to have another
such epidemic of mumps for several
years as we passed through the last
term for the reason that so large a
per cent ofthe children now in school
are immune.
The per cent attendance on the
average number belonging for the
year was 91.99. The entire number
of visits by patrons was 1862 and
visits to patrons by superintendent
and teachers, 247.
The average number neither alb
sent nor tardy by months during the
year was 7l4.9.
1t is gratifying to report that tard-
mess was reduced to S75 cases for
the year. That is 245 less than last
year and the 1920 cases reported last
year were less by AIS than any pre-
vious year as shown by the records
