Death of Carl PrOuty
at Age of Is Years

Carl Francis Prouty, 15-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. George Prouty,
died early Tuesday morning at Mt.
Carmel hospital from peritonitis. He
had been operated for appendicitis a
week previously, DR.. ]. w. Hender-
son finding that his patient was suf-
fering from paralysis of the intes-
tines resulting from the appendix
which had apparently been ruptured
for several days. Every aid possible
to human ingenuity was given, but
without avail There was little suf-
fering, and he was conscious to with
in a few moments of his death.
Funeral services were held at the
McCord parors Wednesday after
noon, attended by manv of the school
mates, and neighbors and friends of
the family. The services were ir
charge of Rev. F. L. Cook of the M.
E. church. Vocal music was render
ed by Mrs. Glen Crewse. Pallbearers
were John Offutt, Herbert Daggy,
Theodore Loew, Jack Conover, Paul
Taylor, Kenneth Milliren. Burial was
at Highland. The many beautiful
floral offerings were mute testi-
mony to the general affection in
which deceased was held.
Carl was born in Colville July 3,
1907 He was of- an indenendent and
courageous nature, a real gentleman,
and was known by almost everybody
in Colville by reason of having for
some years been a Bulletin carrier,
and for the last year in charge of
the carriers. He was an apprentice
in the Examiner office, where he was
appreciated as much by his associates
as he was in school by teachers and
pupils. He represented the Examin-
er in the Yep-Kanum parade by ap-
pearing on a decorated bicycle, her
aiding the newspaper, the character
being of his own creation.
Among the floral pieces was the
funeral emblem of his craft, the
figures "30" on a bed of flowers,
signifying that he had received his
last assignment and was free from
duty.
Besides the parents there are four
sisters and four brothers to mourn
his loss.

Take Maturity Tests
at the COlville High

Each year a maturity test is given
in the Colville schools. School child
rem of a given age or grade differ
greatly in intellectual ability. In a
single grade a difference of four or
five years in mental age is frequent.
In an average well-graded school the
work fits only about fifty or sixty
per cent of the pupils. For the
others the assigned work is either
too hard or too easy. For this rea-
son the maturity tests are given and
the pupils are then classed in three
groups, the bright, the average and
the slow. This plan has been carried
out in the grammar school of ColvlSsc
and seems effective. The pupils can
be given the special instruction which
they need.
Below is a score of the pupils of
the Colvile high school, compared
with the average taken from 10000
pupils. The first figure is the c. H.
S. result, and the second figure is
the standard:
Median freshman score.....112 105
Median sophomore score........118 122
Median junior score................137 134
Median senior score....:...........143 148
The use of the tests will clear up
many Misunderstanding regarding
the individual children. A given pupil
who is doing fair school work may be
shown by the test either to have only
a fair ability or to be exceptionally
superior Another who is failing may
have anything from very inferior to
superior intelligence. In no case is
appropriate action possible without
knowledge of the facts.
