Sickness caused these absences. The general attendance in t.lio in¬ termediate and primary depart¬ ments was exceptionally good un¬ til the last month. A number of names would have appeared in this report had they not. stopped the laet month, and several had they not stopped the last week. Let parents remember that the winner in any race must press on until the goal is reached. Scool is the proper business of child¬ hood and youth, and your child’s success in school will largely de¬ termine his succest in after life. The names of those pupils who are most in attendance are almost invariably the names of those who stand highest in their classes. A child should never leave a term unlinishsd without a Providen¬ tial cause. We hope that every patron and every pupil will help the teachers and School Board to make the new year upon which we are en¬ tering the most successful school year in the history of Ashbiirn.
