To Issue New Folder On Southern Oregon Second Article on Local Schools Tells What Schools Should Expect of Parents By Superintendent Leland Linn Good schools do not just “hap pen." Everyone interested in the schools of Ashland is anxious that we have a system that is excellent in every way for he feels that the children here are entitled to the best. Good schools are the result of the efforts of both parents and staff members for cooperation is fundamental. Since there is a high correlation between attendance and the qual ity of work done in school there should be a felling that nothing short of illness or an emergency should keep a student from his classes. In the last years there' has been a nation wide tendency on the part of parents that are ir responsible to send the children to school only when it is conven ient. Regularity of attendance is a prime requisite for a good school. The first thing that the Ash land teachers have a right to ex pect of the parents is that a real emergency exists before they» ask that their children be excused from any part of the school day. Nothing is more discouraging!
