ST. 900 IS LOST BY
PUPILS ABSENCES

A loss to the community of nearly
a thousand dollars is the conclusion
drawn by School Superintendent T. A.
Mott. in reviewing the list of absences
for the first month of school during
the year l911-19,2. When considered
together with the records of other cit
les the same size as Richmond, the
students in this city have established
an enviable mark. and have had but
few unavoidable absences. An unusual
feature of the report is that 2,143 pu-
pills we're neither tardy or absent dur
ing the month, end almost $500 were
not absent.
In figuring the financial loss to the
city as result of the absences. SUI
rerintendent believes that 121ac an
hour is conservative cost for educat-
ing each child. On this basis. the $50
days that were lost on account of sick
ness cost Richmond in the neighbor-
hood of $1,000 This big loss is unfor-
tunate, as probably 60 per cent OF it
was due to preventable disease.
