The records for the past month show that there has been an increased number of tardiness, due, apparently, to the fact that the pupils work until too near the beginning of the school day.

If parents realized that all cases of tardiness are recorded and become a part of the school record, we feel that they would co-operate with us by insisting that their children be on time.
