A new plan OF making up failures has
been settled upon. 1t has been decided
that the old plan is not entirely satisfac-
tory. for many pupils who get their les
sons day by day and do not fail are pre-
vented from getting help because the
teacher is kept constantly busy making
up failures. 1t has been now decided that
when pupil fails be is to write on a slip
OF paper the amount o. time be has spent
on the study he failed in. his name and
the date; he hands this In before going to
class and the teacher looks over the slip
and uses her judgment as to whether
this ia acceptable or not. II it is not ac-
ceptabe the pupil is forbidden to enter
class.

future date. A rumor floats in the high
school that quartet OF senior boys is to

of this musical feast enjoy il very much. /
