may be advisable. 1t will be noted

Halliday Sessions.
For a number of years halliday ses-
sious in the first grade have been held,
with rare exceptions, n all schools. In
halliday sessions two teachers have
charge. and thus each child, whether
in recitation or at his seat, has the
constant guidance and help of one
teacher. Experience shows that first
grade children in halliday sessions un.
der two teachers make advancement at
least equal TO that of children in the
first grade who attend full day under
one teacher.
