Excerpt from Forty-Sixth Annual Report of the Board of Commissioners of Public Schools, to the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore: For the Year Ending Oct. 31, 1874 There are now under the supervision of the Board 122 Public Schools conducted by 661 teachers, with pupils on roll, and average daily attendance. During the year there were different pupils in the schools, some of whom remained but a short time; and this total number of all the pupils during the year is only important to show that some education was received by that number Of children. These figures Show the irregular attendance of the pupils of our schools. Every possible effort is made by the teachers to instil into their minds the duty of punctuality, and rigid rules are enforced in case of absence, and yet the average attend ance is far below what it Should be. The fault is very often with the parents, who refuse to co-operate with the teachers in their efforts to secure punctual attendance. The most trivial causes are often given for absence, and many parents seem to think that they are entitled to detain their children at home whenever they see proper, without reference to the injury thus inflicted on the schools.
