AVERAGE ATTENDANCE"
STATE OF LOUISIANA
DEPT. OF EDUCATION
Baton Rouge, La.

September IS, 1915.
Dear superintendent
| am inclined to think that notwith-
standing the specific instructions to the
contrary many teachers arrive at the
Average Attendance" of children by
dividing the aggregate number Of days
attended by the number of days in the
month actually taught instead of twenty:
Please instruct your teachers to be guild
ed by the directions printed on the
monthly report pads. The law recog-
nizes no school holidays, and few should
he allowed; when the schools are allowed
holidays, the attendance suffers and the
records should so show. The divisor
should be twenty in finding the average
attendance except in cases where the
schools have been closed to permit the
teachers and children to attend a school
rally or other school exercise in which
the children participate and from which
they derive direct benefit.
Some schools, in order to keep the en-
rollment and average attendance as near
together as possible, drop from the rolls
the names of all children who "quit
school,. Teachers should be instructed
to follow the directions on this subject.
Yours sincerely,
T. H. HARRIS,
State Superintendent.

Though the severe wind of We'd

ness among our people and did some
damage to trees, fences and growing
crops, at times approaching cyclonic
fury, the rain was welcome, as we
were facing a water famine. Almost
every tank in town was empty and
the drought was rapidly becoming
alarming as well as a menace to the

of goods of the several merchants
here were gradually being injured
by the dust and the rain was as
welcome as it was refreshing.
