KKOlMTMXti OF CITY SCHOOLS.
The city public schools reopened on
Monday morning "l 1:41, Before the
Christmas holidays, efforts were made
to try to*have just as good an attend- '
ance as possible on the opening day of
SChOOl. The results were exceedingly
gratifying. The attendance fell off a
little in the first grades of the primary
school, but above the tlrst grades the '
attendance was excellent. In a large
division of boys of the third grade
there was a perfect attendance. In M
the Hampton school building, of eight I1
rooms, there wore only thirteen j
absences recorded for that day. One
section of the ilfth und one of the sixth 1
had perfect records. In the Girls' *
High school there were only eight ab?
sentees, and there was a perfect at?
tendance in the seventh, two divisions
of the eighth, two divisions of the
ninth, one division of the tenth and 1
the elevcth grade. 1
In the Hoys' High School building,
there were absent only two boys from '
one of the divisions of the seventh j
grade, one from one division of the j
mnth, and two from the tenth grade.
Al] the fitudents were present in the 1
other division of the seventh gi-ade, in
both divisions of the eighth grade, in 1
one division of the .ninth grade and
the eleventh grade. From this build?
ing there were only tlvo absentees. 1
This seems to be a very unusual |
record of attendance for the first day
tfto? the Christmas holidays, and it ?
is hoped that tiiis is but a promise of I*
what the attendance will be for the1'
reot of the year.
With the exception of a little
whooping cough in the first ;rradcs,
the health of the school is unusually ,
rtne. There could be no better evl- P
legCO of this fact than the record of j'
itttn.lance given above. This record, i'j
It is hoped, will be maintained until M
the 10th of June. M
