Damaging Effects of Poor school, At

This latest bulletin shows the per-

says that from the figures secured
and the percentages struck. such
partial and irregular attendance has
very damaging effects; indeed it has
almost none but damaging effects.
Further in the first statement Or.
Wagner says:
Child and parents think that such
occasional presence in the school Is

really only rather frequent visit OF

The object of the association has been
10 promote a greater interest in the
Improvement of grain and forage

is more and Better Grain for Della
ware" Through the medium of the
association and the corn show, new
varieties of corn have been introduced,
some of them out-yielding any of the
native corn. In a contest where
samples of corn are exhibited from
all parts of the State il is possible
for those who are interested in get
ting a better strain for seed, often
to find that which is better suited to
their conditions. In this way two or
three local varieties have become
known and are now recognized by
the association as standard varieties.
Every corn grower in the State
should make an exhibit of corn. wheat
or some of the legume seeds.
While the yield of corn for the
State is hardly equal to that Of last
year. yet this should not deter the
grower rom exhibiting as conditions
are much alike in all sections. The
contest is for the best that has beer
