"It will readlily be seen that the I amount of money each school cor- | poration will receive depends en- ! tlrely upon average daily attendance. It is very necessary, therefore that our average daily attendance, both in grades and high school, be kept as nearly perfect as possible. You can do your part by seing that your boys and girls are in school ‘ very day. If the average daily attendance is high the local property tax rate will be correspondingly lower. “Let us, therefor, all work together.
