MAKE GOOD AT SCHOOL
Head of West Point Reports On
Yale and Port Huron Boys

Charles Bonnet, former all
round athlete on Port Huron high
school teams, and known to a leg
ion of friends as Badly" is max
ing good at West Point Military
Academy.
Bonnet left Port Huron last
July, after graduating from the
high school with the class of 1920,
having secured an appointment to
West Point through Congressman
Louis c. Cramton.
A letter has been received by
H. A. Davis, superintendent of the
Port Huron schools from Mr..
Cramton, who forwards report of
the work on Bonnet made by
General Macarthur, head of the
Military Academy. Gen. Macarthur
has an enviable service record in
PHILIPPINE and European warfare.
The general was called upon to
testify before the subcommittee
on appropriations, and Congress
man Cramton states in his letter
the matter of Michigan boys in
the academy was discussed. Upon
his return to the academy General
Macarthur made a report concern
ing Bennett and also Frank L.
Beadle, a graduate of Yale High
school.
Last year Beadle stood eleventh
in a class of 800, and is holding
his own this year. Bennett is
making an enviable record in ath-
letics and is playing basketball
with an A class West Point team.
His scholastic record is good and
it is expected that during his sec.
ond year at the academy he will
make a strong bid for the varsity
team.

Urge Union of Melvin Churches

Melvin, Feb. "A movement is
on foot to form a union of the
Baptist and Methodist churches
here into a church similar to the

CAUSES OF RETARDATION
IN OUR SCHOOLS


A repeater is one who spends
more than year in u grade. In
last weeks issue Of the Expositor
it was stated that as q result of
the investigation there were 21
per cent Of the grade pupils who
were repeaters. When we seek to
analyZe the causes contributing
to this condition we find it diff
cult, but with the aid Of the teach
ers, we have carefully considered
the contributing factors and find
that irregular attendance at
school is the largest cause of "re-
tardation" in Yale schools.
We find that in general, a low
percentage of attendance is ac-
companied by low percentage
of promotions. A low percentage
of promotions leads to "retarda-
tion" and "retardation" leads to a
pupils leaving school or "elimi-
nation" as it is called.
The retarded pupil finds him
self in the same class with much
younger companions. His age and
size are continual reproach to
him. He begins TO resent the
moternalistic atmosphere of the
lower grammar grades. He be-
comes discouraged through his
lack of success and when he has
passed the compulsory attendance
age, he leaves school.
In few cases a pupil is above
the normal age because he entered
up with the other pupils of his
own age.
"A lesser course of 'retardation"
may be attributed to physical con-
ditions such as diseased tonsils
and adenoids and defective eyes
and teeth. | do not know to what
extent these things are causes
here, but in places where a physi-
cal examination has been made,
it is found that 26 percent of re-
tarded pupils had diseased tonsils
and adenoids. In other cases 3 to
5 per cent were due to eyes and
teeth needing attention. Some eye
troubles are known to be causes
here.
The number Of failures in the
grades during the semester just
closed is 2 per cent. Many schools
average 20 percent. This is very
gratifying to Yale schools as it in
dicates that our teachers maintain
ed a high degree of efficiency in
their teaching. But four-fifths of
the 2 percent OF failures are due
to irregular attendance as the re-
cords show so much absence that
only failure could be expected IN
these cases. Some of the absence
was necessary from illness.
1t is necessary that all possible
causes of retardation should be
removed by teachers and parents
What is the effect of retardation
on the retarded Quite large
percent fail to make normal prog
ress. They fail repeatedly. They
ale thoroughly trained in failure.
The effect of this should be care
fully considered, for the problem
is a grave one. 1t does not make so
much difference what one has to
do if one feels it is possible if
he tries to do it. 1t is hopeless
thing for a child to realize that he
is driving against a thing he can
not do. Success is necessary to
every human being. 1t is not so
much an intellectual matter as a
moral matter.
Will the parents not cooperate
with the teachers in removing
every possible obstacle to the nor
NAL progress of the child in
school.
Next week some remedies for
"retardation" will be suggested.
