SEES GRAVE PERIL
IN SUMMER SCHOOL
Supt. Christensen Warns Par
entS That Pupils Require
Time to Learn.

That parents often try to overtax
their children in getting them through
school by means of summer school
courses, and that this is many times
a source OF keen disappointment TO
the child is contcnded by Superinten-
dent d. II. Christensen of the city
schools. The summer schools are an
excellent means of helping the child
who falls behind in his classes or who
wants 10 do some extra work on spe-
ciaI subjects, but Superintendent CHRIS
Jensen says that ii is a mistake for
parents to send their children to the
Tor from eight to twelve weeks, and
Expect them to do as much work as
they would in a whole semester in
the grade schools.
This has been a general custom in
the past. and Superintendent Chris
Jensen sends out a warning to the par
ents of Salt Lake at this time. As an
aid to the pupils, IT is an excellent
thing, he says, but the parent should
not think that a child can be promoted
on the work done at the summer school
alone. In the last annual report OF
the schools, now being printed, Super
tntendent Christensen says:
For several years the Y NJ C A
has maintained an efficiently organized
summer school for children, of elemen-
tary. grade, who for special reasons
Were anxious either to qualify them
selves for a class in advance or the
one to which they belonged at the
close OF school In June or who desired
to equip themselves better for the
work in certain subjects wherein they
were somewhat below the class rank
For the second group the school
has served a cOmmendable purpose,
and TO those in the first group much
help has been rendered where the en-
deavor has not been to cover the work
of an entire semester during the va
cation period. In the latter case the
effect must be depressing rather than
uplifting. The fact must not be over
look ed that time for assimilation is
required, and il is not sufficient for
the pupil merely to pass over the pre-
scribed work without regard to the
time element.
Experience shows that the work
prescribed for a semester requires the
OF the mental and physical develop
satisfactory assimilation. For various
reasons a small number OF children
fall a little below the standard fixed
for promotion. and they are conse-
quently retained.
Such children may, health permit
ting. enter a vacation school of ten
or twelve weeks duration and very
creditably meet requirements for pro-
motion. For them. and for the ones
needing help in one or two subjects
in the class TO which they belong, the
vacation school renders substantial
aid. / believe, however, that few, il
any, pupils below the grammar de-
partment should be encOura ged to at
-~-d school during the summer vaca-
ton"

TIME TO TRY POSLAM.
New Healing Agent Promptly Dispose'
of Every Skin Affection.

The time to try poslam for eczema or
any skin trouble is before experiment
ing with anything else Then, too, II is
the least expensive way because pos
lam will do the work, making treat
ment by other means unnecessary. But
no matter how many different things
have failed, poslam should yet be used,
for its healing properties are assured
even in the most aggravated cases. All
doubt as to it's action is removed in the
promptness with which il begins Its
work, stopping the itching with very
first application. EcZeme, acne, letter,
salt rheum, psoriasis, BARRIERS and
every form Of itch yield to II readily
and are permanently eradicated.
In less serious skin affections, such
as pimples, rash. herpes, blackheads, in
famed skin, etc, results show over
night, only a small quantity being re-
Quired. For minor troubles a special
5O-cent package is prepared, and this
as well as the regular 81 jar, may be
obtained at Schramm- Johnson, Drugs
