IwOuld Le pleased to have the pa
rent to notice the above list. See
that the name of your child or ward
is thereon. The attendance of this
school is excellent. This in itself is
one OF the very best arguments that
good work is being done. In fact it
is conclusive proof.
We have not sent out reports to
parents as you may have known to
be done. You also, no doubt, know
that in most cases they are very un-
reliable if not deceptive, not being at
all a correct exponent of work done.
This school keeps n regular set of
books in which is recorded the daily
attendance, punctuality, and recita-
tion work of each pupil. We can in
form you at any time of the work
done by pupil for any particular
day or hour during the session ordn-
ring the entire time the school will be
under the present supervision.
With two exceptions, you may rest
assured that il your children are reg
ular and punctual in attendance their |
work is of a meritori0us order. The
exceptions are: First, pupil 90 in. !
dolent that no incentive may make |
him study. We have not over Ave
per cent of this kind. Second, those |
who have not the capacity to make |
any progress. Wehavenone of these.
And those whose progress is very
slow. We have u few of those. This |
latter class are often our very best |
students. They study hard, and are
obedient and faithful. Unfortunate |
ly, seeing they can't keep up, these |
are easily discouraged and will want |
to drop out. Continual attendance |
must accomplish results, however,
and they should be kept going. There |
is much hope for such pupils. Some
teachers maintain there is greater
hope than for any other class. While
/ do not agree with this, yet have
seen astonishing results from such |
pupils. OF the first class mentioned |
there has yet been no remedy discov-
cred. If such should appear all teach- |
ers will at once adopt it.
Yours truly, j. F. WEIGH.
