NEW GRADING PLAN IN CONWAY SCHOOL
ADOPT RANKING SYSTEM
Supt. J. P. Womack Explains New Method of Grading Pupils in the
 Conway Schools.
By Supt. J. P. Womack.

Beginning with this month we shall use an entirely new system of grading pupils. The old way was to estimate pupils standing in per cents and then change the reading to letters, E, c, P, etc.
 But the old way was decidedly un- satisfactory. It did not give the de- sired information. What parents really want to know is whether their children are as well up in their work as other children of their age, or whether they are above or below them. And the children themselves like to know the same thing. They want to know where they're "at"
 This new method tells them that It shows at a glance whether a pu- pil is at the head or foot or near the middle of his class. It shows also whether he is moving up or sliding down.
 Here is the new plan. We line the class up like an old-fashioned spell ing class. When a pupil misses he IS turned down" by the one below who can answer correctly. If he loses time he goes down. If he mis- behaves in class he goes down. Every day or two numbers are talk en and recorded. At the end of the month these numbers are totaled and the rank of each pupil is made out.
 The next step is to form the class into groups. This is done precisely as the judges at county fair grade samples of corn sent in. There is a first best, second best, third best, and so on, and there may be some samples so inferior that they are thrown out. We divide the class in,

He thought she would never love him. She thought the same of him. So they pretended they hated each other, and quarreled every day. Fin ally each learned the truth about the other, after very exciting adventure. Read the story in today's Saturday Evening Post. Phone 12 for copy.

to four equal groups, first best, sec ond best, third best and fourth best.
 Next we pick out the very best pupils from the first best section and grade him A. He is the a'blue rib bon" specimen. The rest of the first best group-usually three or four in number-we grade B. Then we grade the third best section c. the fourth best D. Finally we cull out the absolute failures from the fourth best section and grade them F.
 So, if your pupil brings home a grade of A, you will know he has stood highest in his class for a month. If he brings home a grade of B, you are to understand that he IS in the first best quarter of the class just below the "blue ribbon pupil of the class. If his grade is (, you are to understand that he is high medium, or little above the average of the class. If his grade IS D, you will understand that he is just barely passing on his work that he is in the lowest quarter of his class right next to the failure bunch. If his grade is F, you will understand that he has failed ts pass on the work of the period covered by the report.
 Cut this out and save it for future reference. It will have the teachers the necessity of explaining this to you later.
 Don't ask us what Der cent vour child has made; we have dropped that term.
