Percentage of Attendance in Grammar
School for Past Year 96.9-97 Pupils
Perfeet--Mrs. Hayes Broke an Arm

In his fourth annual report to the
board of education Principal Clifton H.
Hobson gives an interesting account of
| the work done in the Greeneville
grammar school the past year, which
has probably been in ever respect as
successful as any in the history Of the
school.
There is no department Of school
work that needs such careful atten-
zion as the matter of attendance. Its
\ Importance Is apt TO be belittled and
underestimate by many principals,
| teachers and parents. During the past
| year there has been no lessening of
| effort on our part to insure good at
tendance. The two first and last les
sons that should be taught every indi-
vidual are obedience and punotuality.
The successful man is not always the
brilliant one; he is more often the
steady. persistent plodder, the man
who is always willing, ever ready, al
ways punctual, never Sinking. We
believe that no wider, greater or more
important field opens up before us as
teachers for the inoulcation of some
of the more desirable habits than in
this instance Of attendance.
The total registration for the past
year was 539, the average attendance
for the year 441.002 and the per cent.
of attendance for the year 96.0S. The
attendance for 1907 1908, a percentage
of 1886, was considered remarkable
and the still higher record of the pres.
ent year is due entirely to the united
efforts of the teachers, the pupils and
the parents.
The number perfect in attendance
for the year was 81, and during the
pact four years the decline of tardi-
ness has been pronounced. The school
year 1905-1906 furnished 1928 the year
just closed as.
In scholarship, proof Of high STAN
dard was found in the Academy en-
trance tests of fifty years ago taken
by the request Of Principal Tirrell,
without previous knowledge or drill,
by twenty-five members Of the senior
class. The class average was in arith-
metic 90, grammar 74.12. history s152
geograp ply so; average S1.4.
During the summer vacation a new
fire alarm system was installed and
drills have been held during the year
at no definite times. The best time
was AZ seconds, and the average time
of clearing the building Of some 300
children was less than minute.
This years graduating class numbers
26. the largest number to be graduated
during the incumbency of the present
principal. Thirteen have signified their
intention of entering the Academy, six
entering business college. and seven of
going to work or remaining at home.
