SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.

The following schools had a school
attendance for the past month that was
almost perfect. did not figure up the
per cent of attendance but can safely
say from a casual glance at the reports
that all average over 95% and some as
high as 9S&. A number of other schools
would come in this list were it not
that the pupils had to attend private
school for one or two days a week:
Cato, it. 3 upper Department.; Cen
terville, No. it. 3, No. 4, No. S, No. g.;
Two Rivers, No. 2; Schleswig, No. it.
s; Newton, No. and 8; Rockland, No.
g; Franklin, No. 1T. 3 and it. Ia; Kos
suth, No. it. i; Liberty, No. 2 and g.;
Manitowoc, No. it. 3: Manitowoc Rap
ids, No. it. 10 Doth departments);
Meeme, No. Jt. 3 and 5; Mishicot Grad
ed School (all departments); Mishicot,
No. 3.
While it may not be wise to state
which schools have the poorest attend
ance, it might be well to state that two
schools, one in Franklin and one in
Gibson stand at the bottom of the list.
In the subsequent monthly reports
the teachers should write the per cent
of attendance. somewhere on the re.
port. To get this add the total attend.
ance for the month and divide this by
the total number Of days your pupils
you have enrolled should attend. Pu.
pills who have enrolled but have not at
tented during the month should not be
counted in securing the per cent of at
| attendance.

Teachers do your pupils mark up
