The percentage who have made normal advancement or better is thus seen to be 73-1%, a slight gain over last year.
Though our children are generally started right, at the age of six they lose out heavily in the early grades, many of them suffering a loss of a full grade in their first three years. Our 12 year old chil- dren are normally in grade seven. Where we actually find them is shown below.

The seventh grade studies are planned for boys and girls of this age. This age, the opening year of adolescence, is a period of many promptings and point out the coming man or woman, our future na- tion makers. To be at this time a year or two behind and grouped with, to the adolescence youth, children; is a deep disgrace. Though a year or two before it seemed little, yet the youth over twelve feels this situation deeply and generally drops out of school at the earliest chance, to maintain his self respect.

ANNUAL TOWN REPORT
CAUSES OF RETARDATION
The boys have more failures than the girls and are farther behind in the grades. Non-attendance is generally the first reason given for loss of grade, so I have looked up attendance records as follows. The school year ending June 1921 shows that of the 150 days schools were in session, attendance was as follows:

Of the number who attended less than 100 days, 17 came but one term and then moved out of town or transferred to some other school. Six entered in the spring term and nine lost a great amount of time through contagious sickness.
Of those above 100 days who attended one school for the year out of a total of about 7,000 days of possible attendance 1,000 or more were lost. In an attempt to find the causes of absences a system of excuse blanks were started September 1 and results for the fall term show absences to be as follows:
Excuses giving sickness as cause .49
work as cause .24
weather as cause 16
fairs, etc, as cause 12

ANNUAL TOWN REPORT
From these facts we note that a small increase of pupils attending school and a slight increase of attendance has been made. There has been quite an addition to the number of children in high school, there being 19 in school at the end of the year in June, which is about 30 per cent. of those between the high school age, 15 to 21.
This winter while making my usual visits, I made a spelling and writing survey, using the Russell-Sage test lists with the object of finding the number of children in town who could spell as well as they should for their grade. The results follow:
