The Three Dunkleys, Wearing their Perfect Attendance Medals
|
In our issue of October 24th 1913, we had pleasure in reporting that three of the children of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Dunkley, of Victoria-road, Rushden, viz., Willie, Winifred Mary and Henry Arthur, each secured a medal for five years’ perfect attendance at school. Prior to this, each of the children had received medals for two, three, and four years’ perfect attendance. At a meeting of the Rushden Education Sub-committee last Tuesday the youngsters were recommended for further medals, each having now completed six years’ perfect attendance. This in itself is a remarkable record, but it is still more remarkable that Henry Arthur, who is now but nine years of age, has never missed a day from school since he started at the early age of three years. These young children are a credit not only to themselves but also to their parents.
