Interests Of Students Goged By Absences
That absenteeism is becoming a practiced
habit is proved by the fact that there -were
893 absences in Bailey school last month.
As a result of all the absences, a teacher
may fee lost next year. Although farm labor is
scaroe and necessary home chores need doing,
if earnestly sought, a way and sufficient time
can be found outside of school hours to per
form these obligations. After a student
enters high school most parents are sacrific
ing enough to send to school their children
who show interest.
Students guilty of so may absences—never
thinking that their occasional day off will
matter much--should remember that small
numbers add up to large sums,
HeveThe Blessings Been Counted?
In the midst of grumblings heard against
the many inconveniences necessitated by war.
Thanksgiving offers an opportunity to count
the blessings too.
The advantages of a nine months school,
the freedom from fear of falling bombs, a suf
ficient amount of food, and the protection
offered by the armed forces of America more
than balance the shortages of gas, meat, tires,
and other rationed articles, not to mention
the four freedoms, speech, religion, and free
dom from want and fear, so prevalent here but
so very absent in most other countries.
Certainly thanks alone will not keep these
blessings, but gratitude will show the Creator
that they are at least recognized.
Disdippe'SringPencilsCeesesToBeFun
Lately, every time , pencils are laid down
and backs turned the pencils seem to dis
appear. One minute they are there and the
next they are gone.
Now, because of this, about five minutes
of the student’s class time is wasted. WHY?
Because they are trying to borrow or locate
penc?Is.
It may be a lot of fun ,to the one who gets
ther, bat jt’s a pain-in-the-neck,so to speak,
for the losers. They are the ones reprimand
ed r..r'd crf],led upon for explanation.
