a continuous cascade of merriment from
the rise Of the curtain to its fall, It Is
promised.

SEEKS HELP or PARENTS

Home Study.

Editor OF the Banner: viii you al.
low ME to address the parents of my
pupils through your columns? We
have recently given out our quarterly
reports and 1t appears that a good
many pupils are not doing good
average grade OF work. So many, in
fact, are below normal that the CON
dition is serious. The Investigations
that have made have led me to be-
lieye that in almost every case the
cause Is insufficient home study. Now
y am convinced that, il the parents
knew this, they would certainly coop
crate with the school in securing the
study without which the success of
their children Is impossible.
The normal amount Of work for
each pupil is four prepared subjects.
and no pupil Is allowed TO take more
work than this unless his work in the
past shows that he is capable. No
pupil who Is taking the least possible
number OF subjects (tour) can hope
for real success unless he Is studying
at least Two hours at home five days
in the week A failure to do this in
almost every instance will mean poor
work or actual failure. A pupil doing
the normal amount of work has one
hundred and twenty minutes in school
each day to study. This is just about
about sufficient to get properly two
lessons. The other two must DE stud.
led out OF school or not at all Since
il takes two hours to properly prepare
two lessons in sc,lool, it is also es-
sential to study two hours at home
to prepare the other two. Let me re
peat then with the strongest EN-.
phasis; this amount of home study in
addition to all that can possibly be
done at school is absolutely indis-
pensable il pupils are not to fail.
