School Report.

The total enrolment in the Hills
boro schools for the year to date is
447 boys, 466 girls, total 9l3. The
average daily attendance for January
was 364 boys, 369 girls, total 733. The
percent of attendance on the average
monthly enrolment was for the boys
94.2, girls 80, total 92. Thisis lower
per cent than usual, but is accounted
for by the prevalence of mumps,
colds, etc, throughout the grades and
High School. There we're 13 cases of
tardinesss, sixteen rooms having no
hardness, 373 pupils we're neither
absent nor tardy during the month
The Superintendent made 70 visits to
the various rooms, while there were
65 visits by patrons of the schools
The Savings Bank deposits we're
Sl07. .04, a little less than usual.
The first half month of school ended
during January and the Superin-
tendent gave tests throughout the
schools, Taking into consideration
the rather low per cent of attendance
the work for the month has been
satisfactory. f. II. WARREN,
Superintendent,
