To the Public School Patrons

In any public school the first os-
sential TO satisfaction aud successful
work is regular aud punotual attend
ance. The pupil who is frequent
ly absent or habit rally late cannot
possibly do the work the school de-
mands of him.
Our school and your children are
no exceptions to the rule. The
teachers have done all in their
power to encourage regular aud
punotual attendance but so far we
have been unable to accomplish
what We had hoped for m this par
ticular. There are entirely too
many absentees and too many cases
of tardiness. This is not only true
of the present session of school but
1t was true Of past sessions. With
an enrolment OF 400 last year the
records show an average daily at
tendance of only 295-an average
of more than l50 absentees each day.
No school can do satisfaction or
creditable work under such coudi
tions.
The home and the school cannot
work independently of each other,
but there should be the closest CO.
operation. We expect TO start "A
campaign tor better attendance and
we urge every parent who is inter
ested in the welfare Of our boys and
girls to JOIN in an effort to Improve
the work Of the school.
We are quite sure that there have
been some unnecessary tardies and
possibly some children swao have
been absent without the permission
OF their parents. There is just one
way to keep straight on this and
that is for the parents TO furnish
written excuses when their children
are absent or late. If the parents
will furnish such excuses they will
confer a great favor upon the school
and we trust you will be willing
and glad to help us in this way.
Friday afternoon at 800 O'Clock
we will hold meeting at the school
building for the purpose of discuss
ing school improvement work.
Every patron and friend Of the
school is invited to attend this
meeting. Respectfully,
+. Il. HULEN, Prin-
