REVIEW OF SCHOOL
AFFAIRS FOR WEEK
RESULTS OF EXAMINATIONS =
SECOND SEMESTER BEGINS
-BASKE KETBALL NEWS

Examination week has passed an,
most of the results are known. A lit
tie rechecking in the case of failure
has to be done in order to be sure tina
no mistakes have been made. Mos
of the time of last week was spent il
preparing the schedules for this Sc
mester. The grade promotions were
made the last of the week. A rechecl
will be taken of these promotions tt
see that all children are where they
belong.
We shall be glad to discuss failures
with parents. We want to do that
which is best for the child. Some
children entered late and failed; 9th
ers failed because of i'll health, and
still others failed because they did as
little work as possible while at school
and none in the evenings. The re-
port cards should be carefully studied
by the parents in the early months of
the semester. Parents should demand
explanations from the teacher and
pupil when marks are low.
A Source of Expense
The repeater in school is heavy
drain on school finances. Sometimes
a child repeats because of a physical
defect. 1t is estimated that the de-
fective eyesight of pupils in the pub
lie schools of this country costs the
taxpayers at least $130,000,000 every
wear. Thousands of students are
compelled to take two or more years
for a single grade because faulty vi
sion has made them backward in their
work.
The first grade in charge of Miss
Nelson gave an excellent assembly
program:
citation-Mamma' Precious Dirl,
Song-A Little Boys Dream.
Folk dance by four boys and four
girls.
Doll drill-Little Mothers.
Dramatization-- Billy Goat Gruff.
Several of the above numbers will
be used in our general school program
which will be given in February or
early March.
Elsie Toavs, Jessie Toavs, Robert
Toavs, Rose Toavs, and Susie Toavs
attended every day during the school
month ending Jan. d6.
