gan Monday of this week and with It
the introduction Of the semi-annual pro-
motion system whereby scholars are pro-
NOTED or retarded twice during the schoo1
year instead of every June as was the
custom heretofore. There are several
distinct advantages to this system.
among them being noted the fact that
scholars who are obliged to remain out
of school because of illness or who. for
on reason or another. are unable to WORK
along with their grade, are obliged to
drop back but one-half year instead OF
repeating the whole period. Again.
scholars who are able to progress rapidly
can bridge the half-year space with bet
ter success than by skipping" whole
year Each grade or division will auto
matically become smaller unit for the
teacher to handle and opportunity for
more individual help for the scholars
