School teachers would appreciate it if
narents would take a firm stand at the
■beginning of this school year that their!
children must get to school on time. While
attendance is no doubt reasonably pun-]
ctual now, yet there is usually a chance
for improvement. There are some young-!
sters who are natural dawdlers anil it is
a hard thing for them to get there on the
minute.
It is a fine thing for a school when all
pupils who are not kept at home by sick­
ness or other adequate reason, can be in
their regular seats at the moment of be-i
ginning. Such a good start gives a teacher!
a fresh impulse of courage. Also, it gives
a kind of impression of military’ precision,!
and children ought to work better under
i such conditions.
It would seem as if a condition of fre-i
quent tardiness must affect the morale of
a school unfavc rably and perhaps lead the
children to be slack in their lessons.
