Educators are more and more coming 10
look upon the repeater who drags on two
or three years in one grade as a trust
worthy ba rometer Of school efficiency.
In the current number OF the Physcho-
logical Clinic, Leonard p. Ayres. who is in
charge OF the investigation conducted by
the Russell Sage foundation of New York
city into school conditions in American
cities, computes the direct financial loss
endured annually by fifty-five American
cities as the result Of the repeater In
the schools Of these cities there are nearly
100000 children. OF whom over 10000 are
spending their second, third or fourth year
in the same grade. Mr.. Ayres estimates
that these w~asteful rehearsals devour an
nually nearly Si4,OOo,OOO.
Among ali Of the cities studied, Somer-
vile. Mass. makes the best record, with
only a little more than 8 per cent Of its
pupils in the repeating class, The first ten
cities are all in New England, and eight
Of them are In Massachusetts. In Boston
and Springfield 10 per cent Of the children
are reporters, and 10 per cent Of the school
funds are annually expended on the waste

The city of Omaha occupies the twenty
StNpliu hAoNC diioAb NN ~ " NNAN~

per cent. or 2.4S1 children. are repeaters.
This means that our ''repeaters annually
consume S97. 369 Of our school funds.
This huge sum represents almost pure
waste. analogous to that cause in a fac

The results OF the Russell Sage educa-
tional inquiry will furnish to educators all

schools which they cannot afford to ignore.
The announcements which are now being
made and which will soon be put in their
entirety at the disposal Of school author
titles, tell for a large number of American
cities such facts as the number and cost
of repeaters, the number of backward or
retarded children, the rate at which the
pupils progress through the grades, the
proportion OF beginners who continue until
they eradicate from the elementary course,
and many other similar significant meas
urcs of school efficiency. These figures
will give American school men for the first
time standards by which they can judge

other cities. and discover how nearly they

slightly brown earth with~here and there
small patches of turf, is now a level field
