The pennant for best attendance
for the first month for New Castle
county has been awarded by the
superintendent to Mt. Pleasant High
School. The principal has reported
an attendance OF % per cent. Tor the
first twenty days. The principal Of
Naamans School reported 90 per cent
attendance for her room, but since
the report covered only a week at
tendance, owing to lateness of begin
ming we believed the prize should go
to the other school. 1t is possible
that some other schools have had as
good or better attendance, but there
will be no way to determine this only
as the school makes a report. For
the other two counties no report has
been made.
