Of ilii number 42 have dropped "U' after being in school on y a few weeks, leaving a net enrollment of 470 c t the beginning et tlie fourth month. Ot this number 330 ete in the central school ami 134 in the mill school While the number of thoie who h ive dropped out is no latger 'ban usual, yet it is much too large, and nearly every one ot the 42 should have remained in school. The number of tardies foj ihc 3rd month 19 93 ag compared with 45 in the second and 2(> 111 the first. Nearly all the tardier are in the central school a>>d among the smaller children, and there is no good excuse for any of them. The absences number 224 in the cen'ral school and 185 in the mill school. .This gives an average at'cndance ot 97 per cent in the centrd school winch is excellent: hut in the mill school where there are rarely anv ;ardms, the per cent is only 93 which is much too low.

The general order and work ot the school is good and is constantly improving. With the school as a whole there is no trouble whatever about discipline, as the children aie generally well behaved and show by their behavior in school >li *t they haV" had the proper h one training.
