TEACHERS FOR THE
BACKWARD PUPILS

Davenport, May 16.-Special teach,
ers. in all the grammar schools to help
children who are backward in their
studies because Of sickness or any
other reason were decided on at the
monthly meeting of the board Of edu-
cation yesterday afternoon. There
have been few of these teachers this
year and the results from this work
We're so beneficial that it was decided
to extend the scope Of the work.
In many cases the progress Of an
entire class has been retarded by
backward and deficient pupils. In
such an instance the special or
booster teacher would take charge Of
the child in question, give it special
attention for few days, thoroughly
explain any part of the class work that
puzzled the pupil and put it in posi-
ton to keep up with the rest of the
class. - =
