tardiness. The high school at Spen-
Ger village with an enrolment of 20
has not a single tardy mark and more
remarkable still every one of the

thus furnishing daily attendance Of
100 per cent. The boys were not far
behind as their daily attendance was
SO per cent, the average for the whole
school being SO per cent.
