Classification.

l. a
To accom- lish these ends it is evident that
those only whe know the needs, capacities
and requirements of the pupils should make
the Classification. The result of single
examination, or of any number Of examina-
tons, alone should not determine the class
into which pupils should 60 The age,
health, habits, and purposes Of the pupil
should be considered in determining his
place the only question being, "Where can
the pupil do the most for himself?"
A close classification might make oil the
pupils of a schcol recite in the same classes
in all studies. There arc certainly advsn.
tages in this pau; but it is a question
whether it may not be well see s:imes to
allow pupils to recite in higher or lower
class, in one or two studies. For example,
a boy 10 by nature or by stuiy farther ad-
vanced in arithmetic than in reading and
geography. If he has but limited time to
attend school, it would seem right to have
him rtcite with one class in reading and
geography and with another 10 arithmetic.
Again, there are occasionally pupils who,
by reason of weakness or ill health, cannot
take all the studies taught in the school,
Such pupils should be allowed to omit one
or more of the regular studies, and even be
excused from school attendance, except when
their classes are rec;ting.
There is, Of course, danger in such irreg-
u'aity of classification, and the number of
cases must be limited but there are instances
when 1t is not only justifab'e, but necessary
for the best interest Of the pupils.
