A SCHOOL SECRET. A Wcrd to the Patrons of ML Airy Graded SchooL I wish every patron of th Gradetll School to read carefully the statement below. I want to taJee yon into one of our school secrets aid I want your hearty-co-operation in working out som.'thicg that will greatly bea fit your boys and girls. Last week promised to hi out of svhool half an hour befor . sehcK 1 closes any grade or scctioa cf grade that would go throi -'h the w-k without any pupil'i hiving to be punished for any impn per conduct ir school, or in line? whiln marching in or out of the building. 1 also promised to Jet any gra le or sftion of a gratis out fifteen minutes earlier than, usual if no one in the grade or fceetion should be tardy eluritig the week, or if no one should be absent from the grade j or section durintr the week, and thirty minutes if no one should be tardy or absent Uurii g the week. This, you see, made it possibles for every grade in school to get out an hour earlier than usual on Friday. Three grades or Metiers did get out thirty min utes earlier, one forty-five, and others fifteen minute. I Now, this week I mn giving ! any grade cr section the oppor tunity to get out thirty m'.n i utes e ulier than usual if W per ! cent, ef the grade or section d not Ikw? to be punished during tlu; week, and fifteen minutes if IK) per cent, are on time, anil fifteen minutes if 90 per cent. I are present every day; except that those who do have to be punished, or are tardy, or ab sent will not be, allowed to g till regular time for, school done.' V May I not txpect and may I not have your fnll cooperation in working out this plan. Yon can help me very much by not writing notes a-king that your boy or girl be excused to go home be fere school close s en Friday. If you shouKl forget and write a note asking; that your boy or girl be excused t go horn? before time for school to close en Friday and, your hoy r girl should happen1 to be a inorg the number who have had to be punished during the week er was tardy, plea.1 elo not ba diMplcascd with me for refusing to comply with your request. Fathers, mothers, it can mt make much difference with borne affairs for your sen or daughter to remain in se-hee 1 Fri elay evening till U:40. For me to let him ot her go before that time when our rules have been violate! may have and I think would have a lid effect upon that loy or girl- I fed confident that I shall have your moist hearty co-operation, in my efforts to develop alt the geod in your loys ami girl ii mil to represH ajiythii'g that may be bud in them.
