G. M & M. G0MPANY
ENTERPRISE, OREGON.
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.

ANNOUNCEMENT
In announcing to the public that we
are about to engage in the real estate
business," we desire to state that we
have perfected arrangements, both in
the East and in the var'ous center? on
the Coast, by which we feel justified
in assuring our clients that we will
control a liberal shara of the immi
gration which the remarkably low
!r rates offered by the different Trans
Continental railroads will bring to our
. state. -We
will make a specialty of farm sales
and would be glad if every man in
; the county who desires to sell his
farm, no matter in what part of the
county he may be, would talk with us
on the subject.
