When election time comes neat winter no doubt you ratepayers will listen attentively to those candidates who talk economy and promise you the greatest value for the fewest dollars. Education is a considerable item in your public expenses both locally and provincially. In most municipalities education accounts for a hill third or. more of the tax bill. Yet though people dislike taxes they are often woefully indifferent whit it comes to getting full value for those dollars that are spent. The taxes you pay are calculated to provide accommodation and teach- ing for the full number of pupil's for the full number of teaching days each year. Every day a pupil is absent is a waste of money. Each pupil` should be entitled to all the training that the school can pro- vide in the school year. Bat all that possible training can be, given and re- ceived only if the pupil ` is present every day and in good health. The loss in actual time in the Col- legiate this year has been in the neighborhood of seven per cent„ which on a basis of class time :alone represents a wastage of some $1,400.00 in Seaforth. To the individual pupils who are ab- sent the loss may be proportionately much greater. In all cases it mean's falling behind in studies. In some cases it means repeating a year, which means for the family both the cost of clothes and board, and also that the time when the pupil becomes an earner is delayed that much. In sfill other cases the result of lost time is such loss of interest in school work that the attempt to secure an educa- tion is given up, the pupil is sentenced to a life of common labor when but for absences from school a profes- sional career might have been pos- sible. Of these absences, about 5% p.c. have been due to sickness. Time was when sickness was considered the myterious work of evil spirits for which people were in no way respon- sible. Today we know that while. there are occasional illnesses due to hereditary or other uncontrollable conditions, the greater part of the time lost through sickness is lost through ignorance or indifference to the sim- ple rules of healthful living. The per- centage of absences on the part of your teachers the :past year has been less than one third of one per cent., as compared with 5% p.c. on the part of the pupils. In such a community as this the help of pupils is often needed et hone, and this is given as the reason of the loss of 134 p.c, of the school time of the pupils, representing a direct pro- portional loss of $300.00. Unfortunately the loss from ab- sences is not limited to those who are absent. When they return they result in delay to the whole class. Lessons taught during their absence have to be explained over again for their benefit. Too often it is impossible to fully catch up with the work missed, and when this is the case, the pupil loses interest, 'becomes restless, and so.disturbs the progress of the rest of the class. All teachers will agree that a class with an attendance of one hun- dred per cent. will make very much more rapid progress than one with even a few pupils absent, while each absence delays the progress of the whole class. The loss of the occasional half day when another has a headache seems to many parents a small thing, but it needs to be repeated only a few times to throw the best of pupils behind the class, makifi"• the work a drag instead of a pleasure, and making the pupil a hindrance instead of a help to the others.
