tors. II the parents find that their
children are failing in their work.
the Superintendent and faculty will
be pleased to cooperate with them
in ascertaining the reason for the
failure.
The parents should visit the school
If the students are doing well, they
will he glad to have you come. If
the students are not doing their best

learn the reason for the failure

moved
Very Respectfully.
NJ. NJ. McIntire. Supt.
In connection with the above no.
tice of the Superintendent, too much
stress cannot be laid upon the re-
quest for the parents to visit the
schools. 1t is their duty to see that
everything is of the best that they
may be had for their child. Moth
ing is too good for the boy and girl
of today in the educational line. 1t
is the duty of the entire public to
see that everything is the best. The
real home of the young folks for
nine months of the year and for
twelve years of their life is the
school room. The great precepts
and examples set before them are
their instructors and fully eighty
percent of that education is from
NJ lrrNn hot
the instruction in the Audubon
schools is the best to be had? Per-
haps the public leaves il to the sup
erintendent to look entirely after
those matters. But even superin-
tendent may be mistaken. Failures
have been made by all classes OF men
in all walks of life. Perhaps mis-
take is being made in the life of
your child and that no one but the
parents would recognize it before it
is too late to rectify Many times
the parents would not know of the
mistake unless they visited the home
of the child and talked with his in
structor. 1t is the request of the
entire faculty that the public take
more interest in the school work and
see that the best of health cordi-
lions and opportunities for the edu-
cation of the children are at all times
the most satisfactory possible. The
interest of the parents in the school,
stimulates an added interest in the
pupil to do better work. Prove to
your children that you are interested
in their lives by seeing that they
have the best opportunities possible.
and visit their school rooms several
times each semester. 1t will do you
as much good as the children TO
know that influences thrown about
your child is of the best and if not
of the best, to know that you have
a right to demand that they be made
the best.
