MllIOrO, IOr' the term beginning sep tember 9, 1901 and ending January 31, 1902:
 In the Center only those attending 90 days and over are given. In all the other records those attending 80 days and over are given. The record tells it's own story; the real test of the ettici- ency of any school system is on the average attendance of pupils as con- pared with enumeration, for it is evil dent that those who do not attend at all receive no benefit, those who at tend but little receive but little bene- fit, while those who attend all the time receive the full benefit of the public money. There has been a great waste of public money in the past through irregularity of attendance. teachers having been paid and schools maintained for the benefit of 70 per- cent or less of the children enumera ted, while those who did attend did so ir- regularly. Under our present system this evil has been largely corrected and a greater proportion than ever before now reap direct benefit from our pub- lie schools. This is specially true in the graded school; partly because dis tances are not so great in the Center as in outside districts, but mainly be- cause a graded school more deeply in- terests pupils and impresses upon them the value of regular attendance. It is only fair to state that many pupils whose names do not appear in the fol- lowing lists would have made fine at- tendance records but for sickness. The term consisted of 93 days [C. N.
