superintendent H. B. Field saws:
Several of these children achieved
standard of work that was average or
better and were promoted while 9TH
ers who failed will be REQUIRED to
repeat the years work. The children
who failed have practically lost a
year since they gained little at school
and have lost one year of play, so
essential to the health and general
development Of the child. Experience
indicates that in. majority of cases
children under six years of age are
better off at home than in school un-
less kindergarten is available"
At the special session the board
elected Miss Pearl F. Reeve of Wind
