Graded School's Third Month
Superintendent's Report of
the Progress and of the
Work of the Teachers.
v The total enrollment in the
graded pchools up to the end of
the third month ( November ?7 t
is 512 as compared to 449 at the
name time last year. 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.

A number of th^ cnidrei. h v
recently been reduced to l-wr

enily misunderstand it. i'ne

ihat lite child can not iiope 10
be promoted at the end oi the
year, and to leave them in i he
grade under shell circumdauces
in unjust to the grade, to the
teacher and to the children them
elves.
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. There are moiiic ? xceptions
to this, and these few exceptions
rriak? all the trouble
there it>, and it is die smiled
puipose to force these in behave
themselves or to get 0U', as it is
inju:tice to lour hundred wellbthavtd

In conclusion the Superintend SOI1
ent desires to say just a lew iir<
words about, the teachers. No |luv
one expects or requires more of Yo
teachers than he does, and he rr.il
I*1
has had enough experience to
know whether or not the tea?h- l',r\
ers are doing their duty. A1
the twelve teachers have reason ?uH
