the child's eyes. Upon second re-
quest Of Mr.. winn the parent agreed
to have the chiid's eyes examined.
Much to this parents surprise II was
found that the child was almost
blind. After the fitting OF glasses
the child rc-entercd school and is
now doing good work. whereas for
merry he did the poorest class OF
work.
The third speaker was Miss Davis.
She ably discussed thS subject OF
grading. She asked. What are the
boys apd girls working for? A grade
of the acquisition OF knowledge?
What do we hold up tc our classes,
the grade or the knowledge? Do
we standardize our work or the pu-
pile" She ansyered this by saying
that we standardize the pupil. She
believes that teachers grade entirely
too often and that they hold up the
grade to the pupil. telling him that
if he does poor work he will get a
low grade. Mr.. Herndon thinks
high school pupils shouldn't be grad
ed oftener than once in every two
or three months. He feels sure. that
a great per cent of the pupils are
working for grades Miss Davis be-
lieves that If getting grades is the
main thing in school life, pupils Will
be trained to cheat. for they desire
the grade instead of the knowledge.
Mr.. Winn closed the discussion by
stating that teachers must quit Civ
ing grades, but must be sure that
we are putting on the card grade
which represents exactly the kind of
work that the child did.
Mr.. VIM then spoke of his trip
to. Detroit where he attended a meet
ing Of the superintendent section
of the National Educational associa-
ton. During this trip he visited the
school systems of Detroit and Gary,
Ind. He is fully convinced that the
school systems in the north are not
in any wise superior to those of the
south. He believes that the school
system at Gary, ILL.,, is very much
oyer-rated. He said the system
worked we'll enough when a strong

gested that teachers are working
under whip and as n result the chill
dren become careless. In answer TO
this Miss Holland stated that her
pupils have plenty of time to pre-
pare their papers. yet misspell too
many words.
Mr.. Herndon makes out a list OF
misspelled words in geometry test
papers and drills his pupils on these
words He believes that pupils have
a proper regard for good spelling.
but in their tests they are so intent
on the subject matter they pay lit
tie attention to their spelling. He
believes that the various grades
should have a speller that is adapted
TO that particular grade. Mr.. VIM
suggested, that all teachers keep
list of misspelled words and have
spelling lesson once week, In
which the children are drilled on
these misgpelled words.
The next speaker was Miss Sadie
RaIston. who had very excellent
paper on delinquent children. She
said that this question comes under
two heads, physical and mental. She
believes that delinqucnts should be
in a room to themselves and that IL
is "A far greater problem to work
with mental than with physical de-
linquents. She stated that seventy
five per cent of the children of the
United States are delinquents. or
course. many of the defects are mi
nor ones. 1t is her belief that the
government should take care of
these delinquents in the best posi-
BILE manner, otherwise they become
dead weight upon society She
suggested that the high and low
grades is the only way to remedy
the delnquents in the Waxahachie
high school. Mr. VIM believes we
should have a lawAwhich would COM
pei parents to have their children
examined for physical and mental eff
fects. He stated that he had called

whose eyes we're in bad condition.

sires no utilization with the various

the Gary school and gone to such

to enter the same grade as that

that spelling in the sixth grade in

gineer while in Richland Wednesday
stated that the commission had de-
cided to sage brush the newly COM
pleted Kiona- Richland highway at the
other end and would gravel it at this
end. This was made necessary by the
fact that the road as left by the con-
tractors was practically impossible in
number of places and great many
complaints had been registered with
the state highway commission in re-
gard to the work as left.
