When Tom Osborne, bartender of the

place. he discovered that $3.50. part Of
the previous days receipts which had

METHOD TO INCREASE
APTITUDE FOR STUDY
Work of Pupils at Home to
Be Credited ON School Re-
port Cards.

move which il is believed will in
crease school children S aptitude for
their studies has been started in many
Utah schools, and before long it is prob
able that the schools of the entire
state will have taken it up. The plan,
which is still young, is to encourage, III
addition to the regular school duties,
work done al home which will be cred.
tied on the monthly report cards as APP
plication and department.
The work will include house cleaning,
splitting wood, carrying coal, milking
COWS. sweeping sidewalks. kitchen work,
washing, ironing, cooking and sewing,
Credit will be given for the excellence
and thoroughness of the work.
The parents of the pupils will keep IN
touch with the teachers and inform
them of the progress Of the children.
work will not be figured together with
the home work. Thus the actual stand
ing of the pupil in the regular work
will be determined the SAME as in the
past and the feature will be that one
work Will supplement- the other. The
pupils will be brought into a closer as
sociation with work for which they Will
get credit and they will learn to take
more of an interest in the regular school
work.
The move was first started in the
schools Of Los Angeles short time ago,
and since that time it has worked with
great success. When the experiment
developed in Los Angeles the schools of
Brigham City decided to try it. 1t has
worked well there and the interest the
pupils have shown in both branches of
the work has been evident.
A meeting will soon be held by the
state board of education at which the
matter will be given thorough discus
sion and plans for the extension Of the
work throughout the state will be de-
cided upon. With regard to the mat
ter, State Superintendent Of School a..
c. Nelson said yesterday that the school
officials would encourage any move
which tended to bring the children in
closer touch with the pursuit Of their
regular studies.
