Report OF wildwood school

which has another month to run, our
school closed for the year on Tuesday
of this week. School will open in the
fall as follows: High school, Septem-
Der 8, grammar school September 10.
| take occasion here to urge upon par
ents and guardians the Importance of
seeing that the children under their
care are sent to school every day the
school is in session.. This is due 10 the
school board, 1t is due to the teachers
and 1t is of vital interest to the ehild's
progress in school. The present day
courses of study are so full and the
monthly tests and yearly examina-
tons SO difficult to pass hat any pupil
who is not kept regularly in school has
but a bare chance of promotion, if they
pass at all. Since the child has but a
few years in which to prepare for its
life work, nothing should be allowed to
interfere or cause a single day OF lost
time If it can be avoided. A very few
days lost may mean that a whole year
of work will have to be taken over
again. The records of our school show
that all the failures have been made by
the pu pills who have been irregular In
their attendance. On the other hand
the pupil who obtained the highest
average in the eighth grade class to be
passed to the high school has not
missed a day in school for three years.
The only pupil exempt from examina-
ton in every subject in the fifth grade
is a pupil who has not been absent q
single day for three years. The only
pupil exempt in the third grade from
examination in all her studies has
been present every day this year.

for the necessity of every day attend
ance. The yearly examinations re-
