ABOLISHED EXAMS
|. IN BURLINGTON
High School Officials In Neighborins
City Have Decided to Do Away
With These End Of Term
Affairs.
NEW SYSTEM ADOPTED
They Will Use Keokuk Idea of Reports
Every Six Weeks Which viii
Furnish Estimate of Years
Work.

No more examinations in the Bur-
lington schools at the end Of the
school term. This is the decision of
the faculty there, in the adoption of
new set Of markings and grade
standards. The Burlington school is
going to adopt the same system Keo-
kuk high uses, that Of six weeks re-
port to the parents. 1t is planned
further, however, to do away entirely
with examinations at the end Of the
semesters.
The following from the Hawk-Eye
will be Of interest to every pupil and
teacher in Keokuk high school:
The examination, that terror OF
teachers and pupils, has been abol-
ished so far as the Burlington schools
are concerned. In future the pupils
in the grade schools will get their
report cards every six weeks show
ing their standing, and these results
will be used by the teachers at the
end of the year to determine the
students fitness for graduation. The
plan OF marking cards is as follows:
If they are marked "S," that means
OF those at best.
uS ueAL W tu6 lllSlcSl AAA6k hlA6 10
&C." which stands for good, and in
good classes the majority will get
that letter.
Medium or average will be marked
M" and naturally there will be one
Of the larger groups.
Poor pupils will be marked "P,"
and there will be quite a number Of
this kind, no matter how careful and
faithful the teacher may be.
''R" in any subject indicates that
the course should be repeated.
Conditioned" marked &C." indi
Gates that the pupil must fulfill Ger
tain requirements before receiving a
final mark.
In the high school each teacher
will mark the students for the studies
which they take under his supervi-
sion. And the other teachers will not
see the markings. The theory is that
the teacher is a better judge of the
fitness of pupil to advance into
another grade than can be demon
strated by any examination.
1t is fact known to teachers the
country over, that the result OF the
annual examination proves very lit
tie. Some with good memory cram
Cor facts for week or two and come
out with flying colors, while good
students who really know something
are frightened and made sick by the
examination, and consequently get a
poor rating.
By doing away with these examina-
tons, the teachers are saved lot
of work, and the school saves the
last week of each semester, which is
quite an item.
The new system will be hailed with
delight by all who have taken the
trouble to look into the matter.

If thin AND
NERVOUS, TRY
PHOSPHATE

A French scientist has discovered
an organic phosphate which should
be very effective remedy for weak
nerves, sleeplessness, thinness and
lack of strength, energy and vigor
It's substance is described by spe-
cialists as identical in composition
with certain vital elements naturally
found in brain and nerve cells and
one which when taken into the hui
man system is quickly converted into
healthy living tissue.
Ihls phosphate is already widely
known among druggists in this coun-
Try as Bitro-Phosphate, and some
physicians claim that through its use
strength, energy, vigor and nerve
force are frequently increased in two
weeks time.
Dr. Frederick Kolle, editor of New
iork physicians Who's Who" says
II should be prescribed by every doc
,or and used in every hospital in the
United States AS there are q great
variety of socalled phosphates, those
VINO wish to test this substance
should be sure to get the genuine
Bitro-Phosphate.

TO DEVELOP
IOWA QUARRY
keosauqua Stone Field Better Than
Famous Bedford, Ohio, Rock,
to Judge From Tombstones
in Cemetery There.

A company has been formed for
the development Of a great stone in
dustry near Keosauqua. The quality
lis said to surpass the famous Bed
ford stone of Indiana. a visitor in
being shown the interesting places
about Keosauqua is always taken to
the cemetery where numerous
samples of the stone at the head of
graves may be seen. Elijah Purdom,
who was born in 1777, is buried in
the Purdom cemetery at Keosauqua.
Only the oldest residents of the town
know anything of the Purdom fam
lily, nine of whom are buried in the
cemetery. Elijah Purdom died in
1916 and his daughter Elizabeth died
in 1897 Both graves are marked by
slabs Of Chequest quarry stone.
After eighty-three years exposure to
sun and rain the stone that was
erected in 1887 is still m perfect con-
dition. The letters are as legible as
they were the day they were
wrought, the edges of the slab are as
sharp and there is not the slightest
indication that time has had any
effect on the stones.

CHILDREN TO
HELP FIREMEN
Instead Of Starting Blazes to See De-
patment in Action They viii
Be inspectors of Pos
sibe Risks.

| Every child in Iowa will be enlisted
lin the folIow-up campaign by which
State Fire Marshal J. A. Tracy is
planning to keep up the worS started
with national fire prevention day.
| The fact that not half as manN
fires have been started by children
| in the past year as is usually the,
case, can be directly traced to fire
prevention education, Mr.. Ttacy be
llieves
"Time was when misch!eyously
inclined boy would start FIRE evelv
day or so just to see the department
run. Now boys are taught fire pre-
iyention every day in their school"
The follow-up campaign aims 10
make every school student deputy
INSPECTOR for the fire marshal.
Inspection blanks, which were
nassed out at all the schools on file
prevention day, are proving a great
success.
The scheme for the prevention of
fires is this:
Every child is given an inspection
blank. which he fills out for his own
house. This blank lists all possible
fire hazards in the construction OF
the building from cellar to garnet.
The blanks are turned over to the
district fire station. where the fire.
men are sent to give the hazard a
professional inspection. Z
In this way each fire station is
made into an organization Of fire pre-
yenters as well as fire fighters.
Blanks have been placed in every
school in the state and it is expected
that every schoolboy or girl in every
county will have an opportunity to
do his bit in the campaign.
