The pupils whose names appear in
the above list have made not less
than 95 on each Of their studies, not
less than 90 on department, and 100
on attendance Many schools have
lower standard than this for the
honor roll, but we believe that it
d)es not pay to lower the standard
II order that g few more pupils may
ret on the honor ro:I and thereby
cause pupils to become satisfied with
low standards.
Again, some schools put pupils en-
the honor roll who have made a
GOOD grade on one subject, but this
has been found to be detrimental to
he pupils in that it causes them to
neglect their other studies in order
that they may get on the honor roll
on some particular study.
