The teachers made an earnest ap-
al that all pupils should attend
hool regularly. The weather may
warm for a week or two, but
hOol goes on just the same, and \
ne lost at the beginning makes it Oh,
ubly hard for any pupil to keep up Mr..
tn its class. One of the most out wee
nding causes of failures during Y
, school year is irregular attend sne
ce. Irregular attendance and lack Mrs
in class work go hand-in- M
nd. If a pupil attends regularly wee
! loses interest in school work Wal
re is a reason and parents should "
ave no stone unturned" until they last
e found why the child is not pro- son
ssing. You can pay no greater to b
,ute to your child and the school kill
n by making frequent inquiry at plet
Ool about your childs welfare. Mr..
children entering school this CT
