TO SCHOOL PATRONS.
Some Pertinent Points Brought Out
OF Benefit.

l wish to invite the notice of the
patrons of the school TO some matters
deserving your attention and co,
operation.
That the pupils may receive the
maximum benefit from their attend
ance at school, It Is absolutely neces-
sary that a considerable portion Of
their work be prepared outside Of the
regular school hOurs. This night
work should prevail through all the
grades above the fourth. In the
high school grades, the ninth and
tenth, there should be on an average,
two hours Of close study devoted to
the next days duties II a pnpil re-
ports he has nothing to do at home,
you may rest assured that he is fall
ing short Of what Is required Of him.
II his report card has any subject
that is marked d, you may know
that there has been very poor reclta-
tlOus in these subj .cts.
That the pupil be promoted, il il
necessary That each shall make an
average Of 10 per cent IN the daily
recitation and the monthly written
examination. y failure IA two sub
jeCts will render IL imperative that
the pupil 50 failing remain in his
present grade another year, aud IL is
inevitable that any pupil that neg
lects his home study, VIII fam to make
the next grade when the promotion
test is applied,
| would also invite YOUR attention
to the following regulation of the
County School Board: Pupils should
not be allowed 70 loaf on the streets
at night, nor should they attend any
social entertainment earlier than
Friday night" | most earnestly
urge the parents not to allow their
children TO violate the above regula-
ton, but TO see that it be carried out
to the letter. These gatherings in
the school week are always destruct
i've OF good work on the part OF those
who are Ia the habit of attending.
Ii Is our earnest desire to give you
a good school, one in winch thorough
work and persistent efforts obtain
with all the pupils. But to accom~
plish this we must have standards TO
attain which will only be possible to
those who are regular IN attendance
and who apply themselves both III
