High-Full List of Teach
ers For County
ATTENDANCE is
STRONGLY URGED

The White Public schools of this
county will open on Monday next,
September 4th. In the High school
Of this city, three new teachers will
be seen in the faculty: Professor II.
o. Kinhart, Mrs. H. A. Kinhart, and
Miss Ida Bromley, Professors II. X.
Eutsler, w. L. Bennett, Mrs. M. c.
Mccall having resigned. In the ele-
mentary school, Miss Anna Smack
will take the place Of Miss Zella
Crockett, resigned.
AS far as can be learned, Prof.
Kinhart will take the Mathematics
of the High school; Miss Veasey, the
Science; Mr.. Klein, the History; Mrs.
Kinhart, the French; Miss McGee, the
English; Miss NAPLES, Latin; Mis-
ses Dix and Bromley, the Home Eco
Monies; Miss Stevenson, the CONNER
cial department; and Miss Graham
the Manual training.
This makes a strong faculty, and
Pocomoke is fortunate in securing
such able teachers TO take the place
Of those who have resigned, and
whose ability had been proven.
II would be well If both parent and
children could become fully impressed
with the value Of constant attendance,
since time lost is with difficulty made
up. The work of school day is large
ly dependent upon that of the pre-
vious day, and the irregularly attend
ing student is always carrying
heavy load. His advancement is re-
tarded, and frequently the cause is
laid at the teachers door. Every day
present is the motto all should adopt
and live up to.
OF the matter Of attendance, Miss
Lucy Stagg, attendance officer has
the following to say:
"Ninety-nine pupils were neither
absent nor tardy in the elementary
schools of Worcester county during
the year 1925-26. This was decided
Improvement over 1924-25 when only
fifty-four children received certifi-
Gates for being neither absent nor
tardy during the entire year.
The formation Of the habit Of
punctual and regular attendance Is
a valuable part Of the training Of
young people. Irregular attendance
interferes greatly with the pupils
progress. In order to encourage
regular and prompt attendance the
Board of Education will continue to
award to all pupils who are neither
absent nor tardy. for >the entire. year
Certificates of Perfect Attendance.
Attendance buttons will be present
ed to all children who are neither alb
sent nor tardy for period OF one
month. Pupils will be permitted to
war these buttons until they are
either absent or tardy Buttons must
be returned to the teacher the first
day the pupils fail to comply with
these regulations. Pupils expecting
to win button for September must
register the first day of school.
At the end of each semester, Janu-
ary is and June 1, all pupils who have
record Of perfect attendance for the
half year will be given special but
ton.
The year 1925-26 was banner year
in attendance in Worcester county.
More children in the county attended
school last year than in any previous
year, and it is hoped that with the de-
vices referred to above and others
that may be suggested by the tachers,
the attendance in Worcester county
Z schools may continue to grow"
The roster of teachers for Worces-
ter suty is as follows:
