Effect of School Attendance
On Promotion Shown By Figures
With School Year Nearing End It Is Shown That
Irregular Attendance Cuts Down Chances
to Advance

At this time of the year our atten-
tion is called to school attendance in
its relation to promotion of pupils at
the close of the school year.
A few schools in Kent and Sussex
counties have already closed. These
were in session 100 days only. New
Castle County schools will be in ses-
sion 18O days or more. The schools
having nine months term will close
May 81. Much of the success of a
school depends upon the attendance
during the last months of the school
year. The school standard tests and
final examinations are given near the
close of school. If children miss these
tests, promotion is not assured.
Children who attend school less than
12O days have poor chances for pro-
motion. The most common causes
listed by teachers for failure of boys
and girls to pass to the next higher
grade are: Q) Irregular attendance,
(2) Bad home conditions, (3) Stopped
School, (4) Mental deficiency (dulD,
(5) Lack of use of English speech, (6)
Mental backwardness, (timidity) (7)
Lack of application (indifference), (8)
School not suited to pupils needs,
(9) Malnutrition, physical defects, ill
ness, (10) Lack of previous educa-
tional opportunities.
The greatest harvest that could
possibly come to the State of Della
ware would be the harvest reaped by
advancing the forty thousand boys
and girls to the next higher grade at
the close of this school year. Just
what will the school harvests be this
year? We know of the tares that
were harvested in the colored schools
at the close of last school year. A
summary statement of the number of
colored pupils, boys and girls, out
side of Wilmington, who were report
ed as not promoted last year for vari-
Gus reasons given by the teachers, ap-
pears below:
First column shows causes; second,
