The classification of pupils i'll the
public schools in grades and sections
is one of the most serious problems
facing the teachers, and the success
of a plan adopted at the beginning OF
the present school year in Pensacola
is not without interest.
Under the old custom it was the
rule to classify pupils of each grade
in two, three, or four divisions. &C
cording to the capacity of the pupil
for advancement or progress. Thus,
it was, that pupils who were quick to
learn were pushed forward so rapidly
that oftimes those who might not
have been able to keep pace win
others, became discouraged; on the
other hand, those who were held back
in company with those whose capac-
fty for progress was the less, lost in
terest.
The new system was suggested as
remedy to these defects in the old
scheme of classification, and is based
upon the varying mental capacity OF
the pupils of each grade 1t was put
to test in the grouping of the pupils
in the fifth grade of the Pensacola
High School. About 100 pupils were
enrolled at the beginning of the year
in this grade. Forty of these pupils
were nut under d single teacher,
their reports having showed lower
average of mental development than
the balance. This class was named
Section D. In another class were
placed forty pupils whose reports
showed them to be above the average
mental capacity, which were named
Section A. The intervening sections,
B and c. were composed of about
forty pupils each Of average mental
development
Having thus arranged the sections
of the grade. the work which is
planned for that grade to accomplish
in the eight school months was as
signed to these classes as follows:
Section D was required to finish only
four fifths of the work of the Fifth
Grade; B and c, to do only the work
assigned to the grade, and Section A.
to complete the fifth grade course and
one third of the work OF the sixth
Grade.
The enrolment in January by Sec
tions of Grade Five was:

filled. When Barrett was on the stand
he stated that he gave the money to
Cook with the idea of buying whisky

Cook was whisky. Mrs. Holbrook was
bound over to the November term of
