To close out our entire stock OF

of proper display space to show to

profit on any of tho numbers. and in
many instances have marked them
away below cost. 1t is impossible to

A Special School Success.

the carly autumn of 1899 by

association, and has been maintained

Then others of the same kind. in diff

The school receives children who
'annot keep UP with the average pu-
,ilS in their classes-as shown by the
laily record of success or failure in
school. 1t does not take those who
ire so defective in any way as to be

Individual training, made possible by
small classes, no teacher in this school
being given the care of more than

Philadelphia is not the American
pioneer in this sensible. practical edu-
cational departure. Providence, r. l.,
led in it, and was followed by Bos-
ton. In some European countries such
schools have been maintained for many
years.
Glasses limited to ten or fifteen are
smaller than would be needed at all
for the ordinarily bright children: but
the principle of making them small
enough to allow individual care and
notice from the teacher is one import
ant for the best success of all pri-
mary and grammar grade instruction.
1t is to be noted too, that the sound
practice of selection by the daily rec
'rd of work and progress is as advis-
able for promotion, as it is for giving
bis special school instruction.
For the rest when the nation grows
wiser, we shall have such schools us
the one described in every city and
town. They will be of as much ad-
vantage to the normally endowed
child, now often held back, as to the
backward Ones.
