Parents seem to need their children
badly, as several children have asked to
be excused at different times. Parents
should not ask to have their children
excused from school unless it is abso-
Iutely necessary. The time thus lost
can never be made up. ~.
The members OF tho: A arithmetic
class are becoming quite proficient in
their daily work.
A few pupils came to school this week
who were only four years old. Their
parents have been asked to kindly keep
them at home until they are at least five
years old. This has not been done for
the purpose of making the work of the
teachers lighter but Tor the benefit OF
the children, as they are too young to
be confined in school room. 1t is hop
ed that the parents will take no offense
at this action, but will consider it for
their children's good. :
Parents, it anything in your children's
work is Unsatisfactory to You, or you
CONSIDER that they should be graded
differently, we should be very much
pleased to have you call on us, and,
after You have seen their work here we
will be glad to join with you. in any,
movement that will be: OF: benefit:to our
school. . :. r.
