public schools for the first month is
658. Of this enrolment 384 belong
to the grades and 274 to the high
school. Four years ago the enroll
ment was 1853 in the high school,
The percentage of attendance for
the first month of school is 97.8, the
highest record for any month during
the past four years. Mr.. Putnam
says this excellent record was made
possible by the fact that there has
been comparatively little sickness and
that students and parents realize now
as never before that the only way to
make satisfactory progress in school
is by regular and punctual atten-
dance. A total of 459 pupils were
neither absent nor tardy during the
first month of school.

to the Colvile people not only to

chased a new type of lamp for the

gives a much brighter light for the
thick and darkened films.
