a very favorable light if compared with other schools under similar conditions. There are advantages, as well as many disadvantages, in having several grades in the same school. It is harder for teach- ers to do good work, and only first class teachers can secure good results. I am glad to say that the present commendable condition of the schools is due to the continued service of good teachers. I have only words of praise for the conscientious efforts of all the teachers and can only hope that the present teachers may be retained.
The matter of attendance in our schools is not satisfactory and I wish it were possible to so bring this subject to the attention of parents as to bring about an improvement. One of the greatest draw-backs to good work is irregular attendance and lack of punctu- ality in the pupils. Of course some of the cases of tardiness and absence are necessary, but it is safe to assume that quite a large ma- jority of such cases is unnecessary. A scholar who is absent one or two days a week, cannot as a rule keep up with his class. Soon he becomes discouraged and loses all interest in school. Besides the loss to himself, his irregularity in attendance interferes greatly with the regular work of the schools, and he thus becomes responsible for a certain amount of harm done to each scholar. Parents can, and should, aid the school by insisting that their children attend regu- larly and promptly. Absence from school, even occasionally, is highly mischievous, because it inevitably detracts from that deep and abiding interest indispensable to thorough work. Irregular attendance is enough in itself to undo in a great measure the efforts of the most skillful, enthusiastic and painstaking teacher.
Following is a summary of the statistics relating to attendance. Detail statistics for each school is given in an appended table. Average membership,

I wish to thank the teachers for their pleasant and hearty co-op- eration in all that effects the welfare of the schools. I have been unable to meet the committee as often as I would like, but I fully appreciate the confidence shown in allowing me to work freely and unbiased. Respectfully submitted,
U. G. WHEELER, Supt. of Schools.
