Not one was ommitted from spe-

that is part Of the plan of the school
to use the psychology of personal
encouragement"
ut is the greatest thing in the
world for them" said Miss Mason.
Our teachers cooperate in carrying
out the policy. Also the academic
course is purposely arranged to give
more than the ordinary amount OF
individual attention"
The opportunity school, opened in
the fall, was originally intended Tor
the type of under privileged, but
normal boys, Miss Mason explained
It does not accept pupils who arc
behavior or incorrigible" cases. The
boys must be normal or super-nor-
NAL.
"Often the boys in the classes are
the highest types, but who need to
be given some driving interest in
school work." she said. For some
reason they are untitled for their
own grades and are not doing what
they are capable OF"
