poor financial investment. We are
beginning to see that we must cease
eliminating and retarding so many of
our pupils, and that we must bend our
efforts toward the elimination of the
causes of their poor work and dis
enlargement.
Some of the causes of elimination
and retardation are illness, various
physical defects, dizziness, indiffer-
ence and need of pupils aid in sup
porting the family"
