Meetings Of The Teachers

papers on How to Study, and Teaching
How to Study" followed by discussion
of each paper and Round-table dis
cussion on Examinations. their use and
abuse, and other tests for promotion. !"
Interesting and thoughtful papers
we're read by Mrs. Edna Station Whaley
and Miss Mary Parsons, both Of the
Snow Hill High School. Several teach
ers took part in the discussion that fol-
lowed. The Importance of proper study
and proper aims Of study was emphasized
and the best way of securing the best
study was carefully considered.
Mr.. A. c. Humphreys, Principal Of
Snow Hill High School. lead in the
Round-table discussion on examinations.
He said. in part, that just now there is
a movement to exempt pupils from the
half-yearly examinations in those sub
jects in which they have made salts
factory recitation average for the pre-
ceding half-year. If, for instance, the
pupil has made an average of 80 for the
half-year in arithmetic. the mark being
based upon the recitation average and
monthly test combined. he would by the
proposed plan be excused from taking
an examination on that subject. In
such subjects as he failed to make a
satisfactory recitation mark, he would
have to take the examination. Mr..
Humphreys thinks this plan might prove
an incentive for better study in order
to escape examinations.
1t was brought out in the discussion.
however, that the pupil would after all
escape examination on only his best sub
jects. while he would still have to under
go the examination in the studies most
difficult to him, thus relieving him very
little of the worry attaching to the most
dreaded subjects. 1t was also shown
that the teacher may mark the recita-
tions so carefully as to leave but small
margin of difference between the reci-
tation average and the examination
mark, and that difference as likely in
favor of the examination mark as against
it. Where the recitation marks are thus
carefully given there is small dread of
examinations, as they are as likely to in
crease the term average as to decrease
it, and the pupils have confidence in
themselves. which, after all, is the great
object to be gained.
Examinations in school have long been
a mooted question, and, while they are
not well-liked, there seems to be nc
satisfactory substitute for them. Al
present the school law requires semi.
annual examinations, and it is desired
by some to secure change in that law.
