 Some of the members of the class would do the work assigned If they could, but because of perma- nent or temporary mental or physi- cal unfitness or both, they must fail of accomplishment and are marked as failures for that days work at least. Other members of the class because of failure in earlier lessons or because of previous absence from class are unable to fully understand the new work assigned and come to the next days recitation period in- adequately prepared. They general ly hope to escape. being called upon, but if they do not escape they are certain to be marked as partial if not total failures, so far as that days work is concerned. Still other mem bers of the class are of the slow moving mental type, which needs and takes considerably more than the average amount of time to ab- sorb new material and new ideas. They cannot keep the average pace and so are marked as failures. There are others, too, who are lazy, indif- terent, and uninterested. They are to be found in all classes. How long they should be tolerated in any high school Is a question of serious im- portance. And then there are those who can and will do the work as- signed in a way fairly satisfactory.

and of study by the pupils still need to be modified and improved.
 "The solution of the difficulty, if there be any possible. Is probably to be found (1) in abandoning the practice of daily assignment of les- sons. and substituting therefor as- signnents of larger and more com plete topics or units of work, in written form, covering several weeks so that the pupil may know and see the end from the beginning of his effort, accompanying each assign ment with carefully drawn notes and written directions and references to guide the pupil In the prosecution of his study, and CD in partially aban- doning the regular daily recitation and substituting therefore a labora- tory plan or research plan of work or study, thus giving each pupil an opportunity to complete the assigned work at his own pace and in his own way, but under the supervision and guidance of the teacher of the particular subject, provision being made for periodical reviews, quizzes and class consultations. and t3) re- auiring each pupil to complete the assignment already given before a new assignment is undertaken, and (D giving full credit to each pupil for all work when and as soon as 1t is completed.

They are the joy of the teacher and the hope of the school, for 1t is they who help to keep up the average class rank and the reputation of the school for good work.
 This statement of conditions is fairly accurate for any class in any high school which is following the traditional modes of assignment and study. The fundamental defect in this way of-doing things lies in the fact that the individual differences in abilities. interests and conditions are not taken into account and no provision made for them. The re- suit Is percentage of failures which Is too large and a standard of &C., complishment much too low, and teachers and school administrators are more keenly aware of these re- suits than anyone else.

 Attempts at solution of the diff ficulty have been made in some schools by arranging the pupils in separate groups according to their apparent native abilities, with sep arate classes for the bright or able, and other classes for those who are slower and less able, but the solution cannot be found in this way. for the modes of assignment by the teacher

REACHES HUGE TOTAL
Statistics Show 1874 Pounds Per

Mr. Average Citizen last year con-
sumed 1874 pounds of coffee. accord
ing to figures made public today by
the Department Of Commerce. The
United States, the figures showed, Is
the greatest coffee consumer in the
world, consumers in the United States
using 1,4o7, $685. pounds of the bev-
erage during 1923.
Consumption Of coffee has in
creased Notwithstanding the increas--
ing price of green coffee imported
into the United States. The price OF
green coffee has risen from so to 30
per cent in the last six months. most
Of which has been absorbed by the
roasters.
Torrential rains in Brazil have
washed away stocks in the process
of drying and caused serious damage
to stocks in storage. With no relief
in sight. predictions are made that
the roasters cannot long continue to
absorb any part of the increased
price and the consuming public may
shortly expect to pay higher price
for its coffee.
