Supt. w. G. Brooks has introduced
the mid-year promoters into his school
system, TO take effect The first of the
second semester, which will begin on
January ~. In defending his plan.
Supt. Brooks speaks of the following
advantages Of the system: 10 7lg -
All large school systems adopt this
method. It provides that the pupil
who fails may have to remain in his
grade only six months instead of a
whole year as according to the pre-
sent plan. Each grade Has an A and
B class, each of which may be looked
after as carefully as the work of a
grade. A. The system also admits of
starting receiving class in the prim-
ary department. in the middle Of the
year. Supte Brooks says the hard
ship in introducing the system comes
in working some children too hard at
first but that things will again be
around after the Organization is COM
plete for the work Of the second SEM
ester. No pupil will be allowed to
skip any work and no child will be
compelled to 60 over work which has
once been studied, after he has learned
it sufficiently to take up the half step
higher in the advanced work. The
Supt. asks that the parents be patient
until the new system is in working
order. M. KIN, t,t,
