and the conduct OF their children.
and the best way in which they can
help them.
The superintendent then suggest
ed a plan that commended itself to
all the teachers as being practical.
Every teacher is to make formal
analysis OF the personality conduct,
ability application, etc, o1 each
pupil. This means that each pupil
will be subjected to four or five IN
dependent ratings. These independ-
ent ratings later will be compiled In
the supcrintendent's Office and will
be entered upon permanent record
blanks. These ratings together with
the results OF intelligence tests and
monthly and yearly scholarship
marks will form the basis OF COM
munication from the superintendent
TO the parents. II is believed that
n parents will be governed by the
recommendation made to 1them
their children will be helped tnate-
rally. e
insufficient preparation Is held TO
be an obstacle to better results All
pupils should spend not less than
three hours outside school in daily
preparation. the superintendent
said. OF course the quality OF
preparation is more important than
the amount. but the above is the
minimum time allowance for grep-
aration OF good quality. Parents
shoufd furnish the proper environ
ment in which pupils can devote
from three TO five hours daily In
purposeful and constructive mental
effort.
Those pupils who tell their pa
rents that they have enough time in
school TO make an necessary prepa-
ration are not telling the truth. the
superintendent said No pupil has
enough time within school hours
Most OF the preparation should be
made outside, he thought.
The matter OF giving several pub
lie entertainments was held over. In
the meantime. the teachers will cam
vass the situation. At least one
play IA to be given. Preparation for
the May Day Exercises will be be-
gun soon.
