Some pupils persist in keeping long

Some pupils persist in keeping long
list of absences against their attend
ance record. Parents must have pee
uliar ideas as to what school work real
ly means to the child. Pupils get out
of their school work just what they put
into it, no more, no less. There is no
easy road to the acquisition of know
ledge. Yet a common complaint raised
against teachers is that the teachers
do not give the child as much help in
clearing up difficulties as they ought to
give. No doubt there are teachers who
deserve this sort of censure. But at
the same time, parents should re-
member, that the teacher who simpli-
fes every step in the process of lesson
getting until there is left no real work
for the child to do, robs the child of his
individuality for self-reliance.

NEvApAv1LLE SCHOOL NOTES.

Nevadaville schools close Wednesday,
June 10th. The graduating exercises
will be held in the evening of the day
school closes.
The grammar grades are feasting
their minds on the New Standard En-
cyclopedia recently purchased.
The taxpayers at their meeting Nor
day evening levied tax of Is lilo
mills Gncluding lilo of one mill for Ii
brary purposes) on the assessable
property of school district No. 2. De-
probation in the value of property in
general, combined with the decrease in
the annual apportionment which is
based on the number of pupils of school
age in the district, has necessitated
that in order to meet the running ex-
penses of the school, and at the same
time assume an indebtedness incurred
last year on account of the eight mills
levy of two years ago, that the tax
levy be kept at the highest limit allow
able under the laws.
Much has been said through the med
ium of written articles about the school
attendance during the current year.
To some it would appear that exposure
of poor attendance is not the proper at
titude to take relative to patrons who
are lax in matters of school interest. If
it has seemed improper to some, one
thing is certain and that is, that the
general average percentage of attend
ance for the whole school was 95 1-3
per cent. By departments it was as
follows: Primary, "a; intermediate 81
1.5; grammar, 90 1-2.
Below are given the names of all
children who were neither absent nor
tardy for the month:
