Parents, Fleate Bead This, There is something radically wrong with referei re to school pant tuality. Compared to other eehools our school can not bo approached for tardiness. Just think of it, 107 cases registered during th-i month ending with Jan. 31. Now compare that to Enterprise, Joseph, Wallowa, or any othor Bchool in Oregon, or purluips the United States, It seems to be suoh nn nlarm'ng statu of things that it needs but to be known to be corrected. ' Can it bo possible that parents wi.l allow their children to be 80 often tardy? I do iitt believe you know that your children are It itering along the way. Vein certainly would not allow it.- Lei us co-operate in eradicating this evil Did yoo notice the Enterprise schoo' report T If you did vou saw that thev had but 17 o tses of tardiness nmnnc th. ir over 20M enrollment. Compare that to our 107 cases, with only 1IS0 enrolled. It certainly look bad. One can't renlizo how much it inter rupN tclux l work to have pupils come strindnir n every few minutes unless he hint lied teaching under theiso con ditions. Then ngitiii it interrupts all thofo iu the room who are trying to study. Also, the tardy ouea nro being educated in wrong ideas. One needs to be trained in punctuality fully ns much as iu anything else. An education Is the one thing of which one can't be robbed. The rtate is nt great expense to place a good ed ucation within the reach of nil. The whon we lay nside the burdt n there will be com- i petent hands and iniuds to take it up. . Therefore let us see to it that punctu-! ality lie iusUtod upon, and instead of our echocl being u reproach to us, let t it become a model of punctt. ality. Alsoi let absences be reduced to a luiuiinani.
