a report ought, of a surety, to please
all concerned', The printipal in his

for January as three hundred and

six. The epidemic was the cause of
small attendance. -He also stated that
in two lasses in the school half of the
pupils were ready for promotion but
were being kept back by the irregular
attendance of others. In future the'
attendance of pupils will be an import
