A great deal Of the success Of the pub
lie school and the progress Of its pupils
rests on the prompt enrolment of the
children on the first day Of the term.
If any considerable number 81 pupils
fail to attend school on the opening day
or the first few days OF the term, the
work Of the term is seriously handi-
capped because Of the necessity for the
teacher to halt her work when they do

ton; while the rate on the finished stock
from Barre to Burlington is $500 ton.
