the past month include the following: To the School Committee:
 The enrolment in the public schools for May was S6S, of whom 466 were boys and 402 were girls, an increase of 26 over the figures for April. The average membership for the month was SIS. a decrease of 3S from the fig ures for April. The average daily at tendance was 542, decrease of 55- 1-2 from the figures for April. The total number of days absent" for the month of May was 1922 1-2 as compared with 660 for the month of April.
 The great increase in the numbers of days absent is accounted for by the drop in attendance at the Israel Putnam school during the three weeks of the diphtheria scare. The attend ance figures at that school for the the month beginning show nearly nor nal and will be normal, probably, be- fore the close of the term, on the 18th.
 With no new cases in three weeks directly traceable to school infection, it seems reasonable to believe that the disease has been checked
 The matter of recommending for adoption a basal reading system has received attention during the month and l am prepared to recommend that the board adopt for use in the Putnam schools a series of readers as a basal system.
 The rural schools have received more attention in supervision this month than previously on account of the irregular attendance in the town sSaools. The work of the rural schools is, with few exceptions excellent.
 May here venture to hope that the newly formed Parent Teachers asso- citation will work out a more effec- tive spirit of cooperation between the parent and the home and the school and the school officials. Parents should be satisfied with nothing but the best; school officials can accomplish much more when the constructive acts re- ceive the loyal support of the people who are to be benefited by them. Co., operation is the order of the day; let's work heartily together for the common good.
