It will be noted that the average
attendance of this year is little less
than last year. This Is because dur
ing the last three weeks there have
been unusual absence on account of
of tie haste with which the crops are
being rushed to market.
A remarkable change is evidenced
in the matter of hardness and truancy
After the first month of school in
1909 the present plan of treating tar
diness was adopted and the efficiency
of this method is very evident! I'm
der the present plan the work Of pre-
ventation Of hardness is really in the
pupils hands and they are showing
their responsibility by reducing the
hardness to very low figure,
Nearly every case of the IS of this
