ATTENDANCEAT
HIGH SCHOOL is
BELOW AVERAGE

Only ssh per cent of the pupils
OF the Rock Island high school had
perfect attendance records In the
term just closed, as compared to 98
per cent which is considered as the
minimum. it was announced by Eu-
gene Youngert, principal, this
morning. He also stated that the
1z7 instances of hardness during
the term is far above the ordinary.
Mr.. Youngert made the following
comment: Pupils should never be
absent from classes in the high
school, or in any school. except il,
cases of illness or of actual emer-
gency. Although it is true in a
sense that work can be made up,
much is said and done in the class
room that is not to be found in the
text books.
1.-THE number Of absences in the
high school during the month just
| closed was much greater than il
should have been. Parents are
urged to send their children Il
school regularly. and to have them
do errands and extra work after
school hours. That parent is wis
est who realizes that the short
time spent In school is far too val
liable to be wasted, and who sees
to 1t that HIS child is In attendance
every minute Of the day."
