The principal will send the par ents each month a report card containing information of number of times child is tardy, number of times absent, general grade on each subject, and - deportment. This monthly report is intended j to keep the parents in touch with the school and the progress of the children, and is to be carefully examined, signed and returned the next day after it is received. - Promptness, or ,having a time ior-dojng things and doing them on timej is "one of the vital ele ments of an education, or in any successful business. The school tries to develop this laudable quality in its students, therefore, if children are tardy without written consent from parents one point is deducted from their de portment for each off ense- Fathers and mothers, please see to it that your children at tend school every day possible; and that they be on time. En courage them to prepare their lessons at home and then if they do not make the proper advance ment the school wijl be at fault.
