 Honor systsm in Schools.
 Supervisor Barber is a familiar fig- ure In town. A recent innovation in the local schools is the introduction of the honor system in school govern ment. By this system, at the close of each day, each pupil makes out a list of his misdcmeanors for the entire day and decides upon his own punishment, which the teacher is expected to &C., cept. This appeals to each child's honor and goes far to develop the sense of integrity and character. In one school two young girls recently re- ported having whispered fivo times one day and decided that they should lose their recesses for a month as punish ment. The teacher finally modified this to losing ten minutes of each recess.
