Regular Attendance Urged.
To the Patrons of the Public School:
l have been requested to urge upon
you the ACCESSIBILITY Of regular attend
ance at school upon the part of the
pupils in your respective homes. l
shall not enlarge upon the benefits de-
rived by each and every pupil from
close attention to class work, uninter-
rupted Ivy frequent absence. This is
conceded by every thoughtful parent.
What is not 80 familiar to everyone is
the fact that every day of absence
costs the district l24 cents for each
pupil. This is the sum apportioned by
the state, to each district, for every
day Of attendance. To illustrate-the
total absence for last mouth was 4s8
days, thereby causing loss of $54.75
to the district. Seen from business
rs we'll as an educational stand point
it is we'll to have the children in
school. A. E. NELSON.
