munity; this pride is due to the solid
growth, the rapidity OF growth. the
excellent management and the con-

There has been a total enrolment
OF 531 In the schools this year. or
these 1O4 have been in the high school

In attendance on last report day, Nov

remarkably good, but there has been

OF every member of the faculty that
parents will take more notice of the
matter of punctuality. In this the
children are learning lessons of life
that will be lasting. No business will
tolerate absence In the morning. Par
ents should be punctual themselves If
for no other reason than to show their
boys and girls 1t Is necessary to be
on time.
