Principal Leslie Merriam of the
Junior High school makes the follow
ing announcement which is of especial
interest to students and parents.
During the balance of the school
year it is particularly necessary that
pupils attend school regularly. 1t is
unlikely that all of tibet inc lost on
account of influenza can be rcgained,
and to cover reasonable amount of
work during the year each pupil must
do his best. This is possible only
when he is in perfect attendance. In
many classes one days work is direct
ly dependent upon that of the pre-
cccding and to miss Il recitation
may cause more confsion of subject
matter than can be adjusted within
IA week. Hardness is also very injur-
ious for it lessons the school morale
OF the pupil and frequently grows
into absences. The habit of being
tartiy or absent once formed, is hard
to break, and is apt to be retained in
later life. Sickness should be the
only reason for hardness or absence.
Parents arc urged to cooperate in
securing as nearly perfect attendance
as is possible"
