III; Admission and Withdrawal.
If any child has been absent from school during the whole week inquiry should be made of the parents; and if they express their intention to discontinue the child's attendance, the child should be considered as withdrawn.
No name, under any circumstances, of a child who has not been in actual attendance during a period of three months, is to be retained on the register.
After such an interval of three months, or after a formal withdrawal, a child must be entered afresh if he should return to the school.
