SCHOOL NOTES.
One Purpose Of the Monthly State.
ment. A Classmate Gone to Rest.
by Prof. Il. NJ. Brooks.

Statements Of attendance, deport-
ment and scholarship of pupils for 9Th
month will be sent to parents next
week. IL Is hoped that both pupils
and parents will give attention to the
records on these statements. A great
deal of time Is expended by the facul.
~ In preserving the pupils grades and
making out the statements each
month. Every care Is used IN having
the estimates accurate and In making
the grades represent, as far as such
figures can, the real standing and pro.
gress Of the pupil. II is not practical
for all the parents to visit the teach.
ers each month, nor for the teacher
to call on every parent. SO we send
out these grade cards for keeping the
parents Informed as to tie child's re.
lation To the school.
Parents sometimes come to us say.
ing they did not know their child was
not coming to school regularly, that
they had been misbelIaving, or WIS
neglecting its study. The grade card
Is for the purpose Of preventing this
very situation.
Whenever your hoy or girl brings
home department below M per cen,
especially IN the High school, IL Is
time for you To start an invest igatiou
and a reformal ion. Conduct and de.
pertinent are serious and sacred mat.
tiers In the modern school and every
pupil II required tn maintain high
standard. Whenever a pupil brings
home a credit marked ~. 4. u or +,
that II below - per cent, IN u sub.
ject there II something wrong In schol.
arship and the parent should a, once
confer with the teacher In an effort
to lind q remedy. Don't wait for a
crises or 'till the end of the term.
An ounce OF presentation II worth !
