NEED THERE BE FAILURES?
christian Science Monitor)

tOiAi AoLldh oClClICC u1OlllIOl
One thing a person should learl
in school is confidence in hi
ability to do something wortl
while. Yet it is estimated tina
over one million boys and girls il
the schools of the United State!
+ failed" every year. This
would not be so serious were i
not for the fact that the majority
of these young folks are left to
believe that they are hopelessly
stupid. One thing that children
should not learn in school is in
feriority-or failure and the fear
Of inherent inability.
This condition is so contrary to
the best and latest concepts of
education that the editor of the
Journal of the National Education
association declares in the Janu-
airy issue that failures will not be
allowed in the school of tomorrow.
For children are now failed in the
very institutions which are estab-
lished to teach them success, and
''this is the crime eternal against
childhood" The school of tomor-
row will not consider its task
complete until all children of
school age fitted successfully into
the activities of citizenship and
vocation"
Standards of attainment as pre-
scribed in the average school are
undeniably arbitrary, and some
times almost inhuman, with re-
spect to the individual pupil. But
the time should not be far distant
when the schools will undertake
to teach success for each pupil
according to his talent. The child
of the future will not be branded
by a mark of failure. On the con-
trary, the thought of all concerned
will be centered upon helping him
to succeed up to the highest pos
sible standard of which he him
self is capable. The teacher will
seek to discover what talents the
individual pupil possesses and to
guide each in developing his cap
acity.
A superintendent in Minnesota
calls upon teachers to have
enough faith in the child to allow
him to unfold in his own way and
at his w rate, and then there
a be no failure. In one large
city sixty-two parent-teacher asso-
Citations united in a thoroughly
worked-out plan to reduce school
failures. Home and school condi-
tions alike were altered and i'm
proved, and rather surprising
results were obtained. Vocational
and trade schols are concerned
with saving young people from
what would otherwise be said fail
lre. Certain progressive schools
have taken the position that no
need leave the place a ,
The intelligent teacher in ,
he wisely conducted public school s.,
low knows that there are ex- :
remedy few children who cannot :
o something we'll, and that it is :
DIT the teacher to find and develop
hat something so that the youth
lay leave the school not with
Failure" but with well done" n
nging in his ears. a

back, to note that a women, resid
ing in Lansing, Mich, had beel
sentenced to life Imprisonment il
the Detroit House of Correction
for repeated violation of the pro
hibition law.
Many newspapers published only
part of the story-paragraphE
commented bitterly on the fact
that, for selling a pint of liquor
more liquor was found on hel
premises) this woman would have
to end her days in jail. Senti
mentalists were aroused, especi.
ally when it was learned that the
offender was the mother of ten
children.
There were some who blamed
the Eighteenth Amendment for her
plight. Others were, no doubt,
amazed at the drastic action of
the jury composed of eight men
and four women), which deliberat-
cd but thirteen minutes on the af-
ternoon of December 81 and found
the defendant guilty of being a
''habitual criminal" Thus, under
the new criminal code of the state
of Michigan, a life sentence was
found mandatory and Judge Chas.
B. Collingwood Immediately pro-
nounced it.
Let us look further into this
case. Mrs. Eta Mae Miller, who
had brought ten children into the
world, but four of whom are liv-
ing, was charged with breaking
the prohibition law on three oc-
casions previous to her final con-
viction. Her husband is serving a
two-year term in prison at the
present writing. According to her
record, Mrs. Miller served time in
1923, 1925 and 1927. For her pre-
yious offenses she was accorded
enient judicial treatment - and
his fact might have prompted
to continue a career of law
essness. 1t seems that she did
lot profit by her former Illegal
experiences nor was she apparent
Y cogniZant of her moral duty
either to her children as a mother
" to the state as a citizen. 1t
vas, therefore, the sense of the
curt that this woman should be
onfined for the rest of her natur-
! life as she was considered a
to society. {
Drastic measures are oftentimes {
.ecessary to convey to the people
f this country the fact that the
lws appearing on government I
nd state statute books must be |
beyed. These laws were framed '
nd enacted after careful deliber-
ton, and are held to be for the
Ommon good of countrymen. b
90 often have magistrates i'm
osed insignificant fines upon b
.rdened law -violators-in some Y
lstances the courts prove so t
.nient that the offenders are en- h
ouraged to repeat their nefarious t
ractices. t
The state of Michigan is APP r
arently determined to place a
w thorns in the path of the
abitual law-breaker and it's new C
'iminal code, which is similar to Il
e Baumes Act of New York, i. e., il
nprisonment for life after the n
'urth conviction, will, if properly Il
place behind prison bars

BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.
The Boston Women's Symphony
Orchestra, conducted by the celebrated
Ethel Leginska, was heard in Consti-
tuition Hall Saturday night in an ex-
ccptional program, under the sponsor
ship of Mrs Wilson-G Greene.
In program made up of Wagner,
Schubert and LisZt, the works of the
two latter composers were given the
most impressive performance. The
Wagner number, which opened the pro-
gram, the overture to ''Mastersingers of
Nuremburg," was played so it conveyed
the buoyancy of Wagner's one light
opera.
It sketches the pompous life of the
upper classes, next the spirit of the
class which evolved the folk songs, then
the spirit of the lovers of all classes
The description is strong in its SIM
plicity.
Schubert's Unfinished Symphony"
was especially delightful as interpreted
by the excellent musicians under the
direction of Miss Leginska.

was played as well as conducted by Miss
Lcginska. Essentially written for piano,
this work allowed the talented con-
ductor to express herself fully through
this medium. 1t is q song. or a series

music. It becomes at times a dance

righteousness. Miss Leginska won
much applause.

The audience demanded a repetition.
The concert program ended with rendi-
tion OF Liszts symphonic poem, Les
