School Attendance

Summary of attendance in the Dick
inson schools for the month ending
November %, 1917: Boys enrolled,
alt; girls enrolled, 1888; total enroll
ment, 8O5; aggregate attendance,
15484.5; aggregate absence ard non
membership, 815.5; average daily At-
tendance, 759; per cent Of attendance,
97.3; pupils perfect in attendance,
466. The total enrolment for the
corresponding month last year was
752. In the mater of hardness Miss
Sommers' second grade, Miss Nep-

grade lead the school with no cases.
The highest per cent Of attendance
99.5, was secured by the first grade
taught by Miss Mason. The 9th
grade taught by Miss Bagemiel and
the second grade taught by Miss
Danielson, come next, each with 9S.3
per cent.
1t will be noticed from the summary
that 815k days were lost through
absence and non-membership. There
always will be some absences. The
number, however, should not be so
large, According to the school law
the only excuses for absence from
school on the part of those who are
attending school are sickness and need
at home for the support Of the family.
It is hoped that all excuses may come
under one or the other of these
classes. The teachers ask for the
hearty cooperation Of the+parents in
increasing the attendance and in re-
ducing the absence.
New pupils who enteredescho re-
Gently are: Dorothy Peterson, third
grade; :Bennie- Grossman~ and .Velva
Barnett, eighth grade; Raymond Bar

CITY TAX LEVY is
LOWERED TWO MILLS

AS a result of increased valuation,
caused largely by the erection Of new
buildings and improvements, the city
tax levy has been reduced from 1914
mills to 27.4. Despite this reduction
$4,000 will be collected for city pur-
poses, in place of only $30,316 under
the old levy.
The taxpayers in Dickinson have
but little cause to complain Of excess
sive taxation. Almost every other
city in the state, of equal size, makes
a much heavier levy-and at that
their city improvements r not any
better.
