Kl l l While our attendance has been ".mut ually tcood, Ha may b wen from these BtntiHticH, yet there are many children In the pchnol dlHtrlct who oui;ht to be in school that are not In itttendanuo during the (freator part of the year. An honetit effort ha beon made to carry out the proviHiona of tlx; compulsory achool law, but parenta who denlre to do so can UHtially flud a way of avoiding the spirit of tho law. The neglect la generally found in ttxwe who aland in tho greatest need tf education. Tho greater part of the responsibility of attendance lies with parents and to them we look for support and eo-o)era-tlon In matters pertaining thereto. Parent almost invariably act with the school authorities la securing good at tendance, and yet we are frequently asked by them to atciibo pupils from school before the hours of closing. This is a great hindrance, not only to the pupil being so excused, but also to the general work of the school. So many requests of this kind are some times sent to the principal that In order to carry on the school work and maintain interest in the same It becomes neces sary to refuse to grant some of them. In cases where the causes given seem unavoidable and necessary we grant these excuses cheerfully. It seems however, that sometimes parents ne gleet to take into account the effect that these excuses have upon the gen eral work of the school. This condition is not peculiar to our school district, hut seems to prevail in most large towns and cities. I desire in this connection to quote from a recent rejort of a city superintendent of this state upon the same subject. He says: "I huve Intended for some time to call the attention of the Board to the large number of pupils who are daily excused from school by their teachers at the request of their parents. Several weeks ago 1 took charge of an intermediate school during the enforced absence of the principal and between J and 4 o clock I was called on to excuse eleven pupils who naa fcroucnt notes Irorn tbolr par ents asking that they be excused. Dur ing a visit to a recitation room in one of our grammar schools lutoly I saw the teacher excuse in tho course of the recitation eight pupils who had brought excuses from their puronts.' These urn not exceptional cases: tne same condl tlon of ulTuiin exists In nearly every Dunning in tho city. Teachers are re quired daily to excuse pupils for dancing lusHons, music lessons, lessons in the gymmiHlum, etc., to the grout disturb ance of the school and the hindrance of the progress of the classes. I uiu afraid that the practice of presenting these excuses Is on the Increase, and unless something is done It is bound to Inter fere seriously with the work of the BCllOOl," tkachkhb' mketings. Teachers' meetings have been held regularly during the year on Monday evening of euch school week. The teachers have been prompt and regular In their attendance upon these meat' ings, and have exhibited a gcalous 1 j.i amii - mi 1 11 1y A'. ' ' ' ''" 'rt -l. ; ' A ',:'t".'

Th" attention of llio Hoard has Iven called to the fact that, not enough time is allowed by tho present length of solio 1! term to complete in 11 satisfac tory manner tho eoinmon brunches in eleht years of eight months each. It Is ivroieiiiended that another year's work be ndded to thu cours of study In tho common brunches, thus requiring pupils to spend nine yours In the common branches before entering tho high school, instead of eight as at present. It Is also recommended that Kngllsh (Jranunar, Arithmetic and U. S. His tory bo completed before entering tho high school, and the numberof dally reci tations for each class in thu high pchool bo reduced from six to live. This would permit of longer study ami recitation Ihji'UhIs, and result in still more thor ough work. This latter change cannot well lie mudu at the present tlmo, but ought to become a result of the former change. MU8IO. The general culture of the community and thu pmgressivonessnf the ago have brought us to that (Kiint at which thore Is an almost imperative demand for the teaching of music as a distinct branch of study in the public schools. Educa tion in any art so general In use and so conducive to the public good as is music can well afford to be arrled on at the public expense. Nearly all the larger towns provide for this by engaging a special teacher of music. Sometimes two small towns ia -close proximity on gage a special teacher of music butwoen them, each pay lag for a part of the teacher's time. Pupils ought atleust to be taught the fundamentals of vocal music. iiich R:Hoor,. The work In the high school during the past year has been thoroughly and satisfactorily performed. Nothing need be said in defense of tho high school plan. The good effects of high schools in communities where they are located are very apparent and fully justify tho cost of maintaining them. The course of study for our high school should be lengthened another year as soon as practicable. This, of course, will add more branches and recitations and will require the services of another teacher, There have been nineteen graduates during the past three year as follows 18i7, 5; 18118. 7; 1899, 7. The High School Alumni Association bag at pre sent an active membership of 37. The registration for the high school for 'he ensuing year is aa follows: senior class, 11; junior class, 10; sub-junior class, 24. UliHARY. The school library contains at present 65H volumes. These together with about 250 reference books loaned by tho principal gives the pupils of the upper grades access to good reading matter The library has been Increased about 175 volumes during the past year through thu kindness of the stockholders of the Iteynoldsvllle circulating library, who donated their books to the schools, The pupils of the upper grades aro per, mltted to borrow these books out and tuke them to their homes to read. A book muy be kept out for a period of two weeks. Over .'!00 pupils read books from the library during tho past year There aro a number of duplicate copies In the library that could well be ex changed for other books. Somo money can well be Invested each yeur In sup' plying new books. I.AHOHATOHY. The laboratory material purehusod by the Hoard a your ago bus been of great value to tho classes pursuing scluutlllo studies. It places our work in these brunches upon a now and Interesting basis. Tho learner now seeks and un durstunds with pleasure what before to him was drudgery. There is yet mitoh that can ho ilono ulong this lino. I'rom yiartoyeiir tho lab'irntoiy should be better equipped and its usefulness thus xlonded. I.UTfUK (OrtiSK.

The money received from tho lecture fund has enabled us to supply the schools with many things needful. Further than this (and what Is moro to the purpose) tho course of lectures and entertainments has left In the com munity many beneliclal Inllucnces and results which are felt In tho homo and In the school. Students nnd patrons of tho course are brought In touch with men who shape public thought uud sentiment, and acquire 11 tuste for tho best of entertainment and literature. BAVINdS HANK. I desire to closo this report with a recommendation for tho establishment of a school savings bunk. Pupils may he taught some practical business meth ods and honest frugality (a virtue much needed In tho average American youth) besides laying aside savinus which may be ol untold value In future years. The plan Is successfully carried out by many schools and reports show results that are surprising. In tho city of Wil llomsport during the year 18U7-IW the total depositors In the school savings bank were 874. and tho total deposits for the sunlit year amounted to 21MI.H4. The report of the superintendent of that city shows that 18 per cent of the pupils are depositors and that tho bal ance in the bunk 110,270.82. If a move in this direction be inaugurated It should be authorized by the Hoard of Directors and such methods adopted as would be practical, btislness-lilco and safe. Huspectfuliy submitted, (i. W.
