is presented, and can study it with
out prejudice. He expresses his
ideas so that they arc accurate and
interesting in a detailed and varied
way.
The c student, IS to 90. The G.
student is not in danger of failing,
but he is limited in his fund of gen.
eral information, and is not a wide
reader. He does not know a great
deal about finding material, as assim-
Hating the information. He gener-
ally gets the assignment, but not
much more. He does not neglect his
work. He sees all good points in the
subject, but cannot organize material
so as to present a unified discussion,
even when he knows the facts. He
relies on the teacher or class discus
sion to draw out the details. His
various habits of speech need correc.
ton; clearness of thought and variety
of expression are lacking.
The d student, so to IS. The d
student has only a general idea of
his work. He is too good to fail, yet
he is a unsatisfactory student. He
is slow, and very often u~nprepared.
He is too indolent to do any more
than he must. He expects the teach
er to remove all difficulties, and to
accept his excuse instead of satisfac-
tory work. He is generally behind
with his work, and does not make
much effort to think for himself. He
gets only a general idea of what he
reads, and cares little for a detail
His expressions are inaccurate, and
lack assurance. The teacher must con-
stantly urge and help.
The E student rs to SO. The. E
student feels that the subject is un-
sufficient, but does not care to take IL
into his life. He is limited in infor-
nation biased On general views, and
quite unable to overcome his prepu-
dices. He lacks in power of express
sion and has difficulty in thinking
along unaccustomed lines. He accepts
the situation when it overpowers him
in defeat. He complains of hard luck,
and blames others. He feels that
circumstances are always against
him; that the teacher has it in for
him: or that he was blamed for some
body else.
The F student, 20 to rs. The f
student works with great difficulty,
and cannot do advanced work with
his class. He does not try to work
as a general rule, but does try TO
evade all he can. His work is sloven-
ly and f~ragmentary when it is done.
He does not like to read, and has a
poor general fund Of information. He
gets only fragmentary ideas, and sell.
dom grasps the large idea of the sub
ject. His thinking is disconnected
and hazy. His failure to comprehend
the real significance Of the work dis,
courages him and puts him out of
sympathy with school life. He ad-
vances but little.

Were we living in Chicago, st. Louis

enough as it is. Again if it is neces-

why not have it for the grades? In

their "air washed" why should the
High school, when the smaller chill

great success of the Tournament in
Minnesota is attributed by that Asso-
citation to the expansion Of Public Health
activities in Minnesota embracing the
organization Of County Public Health
Associations and extensive use of ssThe
Health Stories,'' prepared by the Mime
sofa Public Health Association, as the
basis for health instruction and health
talks in the schools.
In order to obtain the 100 per cent,
for their school, every pupil in the class
or school was required to do at least
rs per cent Of the health chore . of
the Modern Health Crusade each week
during the tournament. The chores
are the rules Of health which every
crusader must obey for the developer ent
of his own health and that of his school
mates.
The Modern Health Crusade is a
National movement organized with a
view to improving the lives of future
American citizens. Tuberculosis is
known to be the greatest preventable
disease in the United States killing a
larger number Of people every year
than war. One person dies from tuber-
culosis every three minutes in the Uni
ted States. The fight against it must
begin at the earliest age.
Every dollar spent for Red Cross
Christmas seals is enlisted in the cause
to educate all, and particularly the
children in the importance Of the battle
against Tuberculosis, and in effecting
a decrease in the amount Of the disease.
The School District Z, New Ulm,
Brown County, won one Of the pennants
which made Mime ota the champion
