Of inducing greater punctuality in the mprnin^ attendance. {Now as a inatter of fact,||e attendance is less punctual than when the school opened half *n hour earli^.' I think the alteration rery undesirable. It makes the afternoon session^tK) long for sonje of the ' smaller children, tiitree o'clock being quite late^nough fojf t|em to be kept a't their lessons. MoreoTer it makes it very late before the pupif teachers get away from their worlds they haycij to stay a long time after $he school dotes.
