The additions to all the ward build

here are entirely too many cases of
ardiness in our schools. We realize

al and teachers in their efforts to
yercome tardiness in the school. |
'ould like also to urge the parents
the city to give your
earliest cooperation to all the teach,
rs throughout the schools.
The work IN all the schools has
cen very satisfactory. Teachers are
lrnest conscientious. and devoted 10
leir work They are enthusiastically
ding all they can TO make this year
ne OF the greatest service to the chill
rem of Ardmore in the history of her -
'hool system. | believe every parent
lily appreciates this ana will give
lc fullest cooperation to them in
very respect.
