on hands ready for work, not
only Monday morning but every
other morning as well. On Mon
day the classification of pupils
will take place. OF course, only
those pupils that are present can
be taken into consideration in the
division Of pupils into rooms and
classes and in the selection OF
studies. Pupils that enter alter
wards will have to be examined
and worked into the classes that
are already formed. Parents
and pupils are advised not to bay
any new books till after the first
day, and then only such books as
are suggested by the teachers
| 1t sometimes happens that par
ents, often at the suggestion OF
the children, fit pupils up with
new books for the first day.
Then. if these books are wholly
or partly wrong ones, which Is
often the case, there is an extra
eynense, or else the child is
wrongly classified. Teachers
cannot be too car2iul with the
first days classification. They
will, therefore, do this work with
care and caution, even if it takes
considerable time.
1t has been decided by educa-
tors that the greatest barrier to
GOOD school work is tardiness and
irreguIarity Of attendance on the
part Of the pupils. How to Sc
cure pdnctuaIity and regularity
has been a problem not only for
schools, but for state legislatures
as we'll, for a quarter Of a CEN
fury. Some states have passed
compulsory attendance laws
Others allow expulsion for
irregularity and non-punctuaIlty.
Arkansas leaves this almost en-
tirely to the good sense and dis
erection Of patrons, directors, and
teachers. She has not, however,
advanced very far along this
line. In this state, the enroll
ment in the schools is about 90
per cent of the enumeration; the
average daily attendance is about
81 per cent Of the enrolment, or
about Al per cent of the cnumer-
alton. At Evening Shade, the
enrolment last year was about
| 50 per cent Of the enumeration;
| the average daily attendance was
about 70 per cent Of the enroll
ment, or about AZ per cent Of the
enumeration. Unless we do bet
tor this year, we shall not be
keeping pace with the times.
Everything is now going toward,
advancing, progressing, improv-
ing.
1t has been said that the teach
er makes the school. This is not
entirely correct. A successful
school must have also the right
kind Of pupils aud patrons. The
responsibility Of educating the
young can not be shifted from
the shoulders Of the parent to
! those Of the teacher. The parent
must cooperate with the teacher
and stand by him in every thing
that is reasonable. This support
is invited and expected. With
it, Evening Shade will have q
good school. Without it, no
community can have q good
school.
1t is desirable to have in school
not only as great number Of the
public school pupils as possible,
but also quite a number Of those
that live outside the district and
those that are beyond the legal
school age. Many young man
or young woman has found. after
