SMYRNA HIGH SCHOOL PROMOTIONS
Only Few Out OF the Whole School Required
to Take Examination, so Effective Has Be-
come the Shearer Method of Teaching

on Friday and entered upon their
summer vacation, The closing days
of the school were marked with more
or less anxiety on the part of the chill
dren as to their standing for the school
year. 1t can be said to their credit
that greater percentage passed than
for any year since the Shearer system
of grading was introduced. The term
average was S5 percent and so eager
were the pupils to escape taking an ex-
animation that but AZ out of total of
212 were required to go through the
ordeal. With the exception of about
dozen the entire AZ required to take
the examination passed. The Shearer
system of grading is working satisfac-
torily, although Principal Burdette
has what he thinks better plan which
he will bring before the Board of
School Directors at an early meeting.
