From Prof: Welch.

The following letter from Professor
WEIGH was part Of the high school
honor roll published last week, but
was held over until this week on ac-
count of the crowded condition Of
our columns last week. The letter is
as follows:
The large bell at the school house
will be rung In time for pupils to
reach the building by nine O'Clock.
Keep all primary pupils at home un-
til this bell rings. On account OF
weather and other conditions 1t is
best for them not to be here before
the teachers arrive. This is a good
rule for all pupils, but is obligatory
on primary pupils. At noon the bell
Will ring by one o'clock. Pupils re
ferred to above will not be allowed
to come to the school grounds before
the time mentioned, so II they leave
home they are wandering around
town.
Quite a number Of pupils are aver
aging over ninety per cent. In our
nextrepOrt we will give a list OF these.
The number Of times each has been
absent or tardy is given, as the teach
ers have reason to believe that some
times parents think pupils are at
school when they are not. By no
ticing this list you may Judge accu-
rately.
Pupils of the intermediate and ad.
vauced grades will not he apt to at
tend this school irregularly. They
will either quit entirely or come regu.
larly. This is true Of any correct sys-
tenn Of teaching. A record Of work IL
kept and pupils are ranked according
| to this work. One who is abeent only
a short time will necessarily fall be.
hind in his work. His low rank will
disgust him. He will either then
make up his mind to drop out or to
stand well. NY system nearly al.
ways makes q pupil do good and reg.
ular work, II that pupil is OF good
material and Of an age able to com
prehend what is meant by sense oi
duty and personal welfare.
Our motto is "be thorough" We
must have regular attendance to full

is by one step at a time. Does 1t NOT
stand to reason that recitation lost
II a step in the process gone? You
would as well try to successfully
climb a rope walk In some acrobati(
feat with q number OF the rungf
knocked from the ladder as to get a

Lax methods, lax attendance. falsl

system. Education takes time and

isens Of DodsOn. some OF them very

Of having set fire to the town OF Dod-

confess to the crime by swinging him
to a limb and otherwise mistreating
him. He sued them In the district
