sUPERINTENDENTss STATEMENT
New System in Practical Operation
Which Provides for Semi-An-
nual Examinations.

The semi-annual promotions In all OF
the public schools of the District will De
made tomorrow. Pupils that passed in the
work of the half year completed Friday
will be advanced to the next half grade.
Thus pupils will advance from class A OF
a certain grade to class Of the same
grade, or from class B of one grade to
class of the next higher grade.
Superintendent Stuart stated to Star
reporter, in connection with these promo
tons, that in some cases it was found
necessary to transfer children from one
building to another or from one room to
another Whenever possible, however. it
is explained. pupils are continued in the
same rooms and under the same teachers
during the second half of the year. The
transfer from one building to another. 1t
was stated, is necessary because not all
the buildings are equipped with double
set of classes of each grade. Therefore.
or example. to promote a pupil from
class B of the sixth grade to class A of
the seventh grade it has been found that
the building had not room or equipment
for the class A of the seventh grade, and,
therefore, transfer to a building where
such class was conducted was necessary.

the eighth grade to the high schools as q
result of the semi-annual promotion this
