To Parents M. H. S. Pupils
Home Industry Report.
As a result of scrupulous ob
servation, I have reached the
conclusion that children who are
thoughtful and industrious at
home are, in almost every in
stance, inclined to be so disposed
at school. Pupils who work at
home generally work at school,
obtainjgood averages, _and make
their grades. Home work should
be correlated with school work,
and the children should be en
couraged in both and receive
credit for same.
On the first day of school, all
children who wish credit at
school for any- work they do at
home to lessen their parents or
gpardians’ work will be given
Home Industry Report card,
which are to be kept by their
parents or guardians only. The
purpose of this scheme is to en
courage children in home indus
try, to teach them to do things
according to time, and to be
other than parasites in the home
life; and I believe it will lead
_ i_ i_i:_*:—
IflcIH LU ct tvccnci icau^ouwu wx
the sacrifices being made for
them by the homefolk.
One hours work is wrorth 1C
credits. 500 credits are worth
one Certificate of Award, and
the pupil making this record
will be given per cent on his
general average for the year.
Five Certificates of Award art
worth one Certificate of Granc
Award, also 2lA per cent on tht
General Average. Any worl
that will please father and moth
er, or guardians, by„ relieving
them of work at home is to re
ceive credit. Such work as tht
following may be credited:
Filling stovewood box, making
fires, drawing or pumping water
cooking, washing dinner dishes,
sweeping, sewing, feeding stock
running errands on time, wash
ing, ironing, etc. All such worl
is to be done on schooldays.
