Public School Notes &
To the Parents:
1t is the opinion of the teachers that
some parents do not fully realize the
Importance Of regular attendance at
school,
Every spring we have to combat a
tendency on9the part of certain students
to absent themselves for few hours,
half day, full day or. longer. This
may seem trifling matter but it is
not. The hours from nine until four
on school days belong to the school and
nothing but matters of real Importance
should be allowed Ito interfere with
those hours being spent in school.
] Students often remark that one days
absence puts them behind in their work.
This is especially true Of mathematics
and sciences, where. a thorough under
standing Of each days work is essential
to the progress in the subject.
A strong student can make up lost
work without great difficulty altho this
entails extra work for the teachers
who have enough in the ordinary rou-
tine Of clasSes.a {5iS{
Unfortunately, the students who have
the habit of staying out Of school, are
as rule, not strong students and in
these cases, frequent absence is posi-
tive menace to their completion OF the
years work. q. ( ~ ~ ~ aEsAsA
We receive such excuses as II kept
her home to work.; IT wanted the yard
raked." If at any time. parent really
needs child's help at home we are
glad to make the best arrangements we
can for the work to be made up at
school, but we like to be notified in ad-
vance If possible, the home work
should be done after four o'clock when
school work cannot be done.
TO remain out of school in the spring
is temptation, but it is a perilous
time. Glasses are now reviewing the
years work in preparation for the
state examinations. Much ground is
covered every sday and regular at
tendance is most desirable.
~ We urge the parents to cooperate
with us in this matter and keep your
children in school every day. No habit
is more aggravating to the teachers, or
more dangerous to the students than
frequent absence.-( The Teachers)

The nice breeze that circled through
the south part of the assembly room
Thursday afternoon, carried away
number of our. bright and diligent
Freshmen. Although they found a.
passing excuse for their: being absent,
some still have guilty feeling. This
bunch, as it seems, is up to most
yerything, so anything can be expected
from them It's bad policy, Fresh
men, and you had better try to redeem
yourselves. - ...-...f y;sE 80. r.. -
