REMARKS. The teacher will learn from the agent the exact number of scholars having their legal residence in the district, whether living at home at the time or not. The teacher will find it necessary to note the attendance and absence of pupils in half days, in a memorandum from which he will fill up his Register at the close of his school, reducing the whole weeks and tenths. To find the average attendance, add the column of "days present," and divide the sum by the whole number of days in the session. CHARACTER, P.D.I. - PUNCTUALITY, DEPORTMENT, IMPROVEMENT. It is only recommended, not required, that teachers keep a careful account of the punctuality, deportment, and improvement of each pupil, for the information of the Committee, using such descriptive terms or numbers as they may please, or the Committee direct, to indicate the character of the pupils in the several respects named. Male teachers reckon their wages by the month, female teachers by the week. It is recommended that Teachers, at the close of each term, make a written Report to the Supervisor or Committee, of the condition and progress of their schools.
