piled by the teacher. The parent, by
careful reading of the report card, may
know in just what traits his or her
child excels or needs training to adjust
It is sometimes and not infrequently
the experience of a teacher to have an
interested parent call to know why Jack
was marked diScourteous, lacking in
self-reliance or unfair in his play. It is
plan that has met with favor among
both parents and teachers, school ON
Gals believe.
Does such a method take much time?
The actual time allotted for character
building has been worked into a sched-
ule by school authorities, showing the
amount in a week: First grade, $40 min
utes; second grade. 185 minutes; third
grade. 125 minutes; fourth grade, I25
minutes; fifth grade, 80 minutes; sixth
grade, IS minutes; seventh grade, IS
minutes; eighth grade, rs minutes.
The program was introduced In the
Washington schools in 1926. when d..
Ballou appointed a committee to revise
report cards. After a careful study, new
cards were submitted, introducing new
subjects especially along this line. Since
then Washington school teachers have
had much experience in this new char
acter-building process, until today 1t has
become an. outstanding feature of the
educational system. The committee that
worked out this program consisted OF
Miss Janet McWilliam, supervising
principal of the second. fourth and
eighth divisions. as chairman: J. G.
Bruce. H. F. Lowe, Miss M. Z. Gibbs
and Miss J. A. Kupper.

But he diSliked the sad grandeur of the
place. So he spent most 'of his time at
the Castle of Malmaison. However, true
to his nature, Napoleon wanted to
enlarge the grounds, and tried to buy
the adjoining estate of BoiS- Preau, a
small castle and 48 acres. He was baked
for years by Stubborn maiden lady who
owned it. Only after her death did
Napoleon acquire the property, and
he was not long to enjoy its possession.

ing the castle have once more been re-
arranged exactly as in Napoleon's time.
Josephine was noted as lover of roses.
She had $50 species, which was remark
able in that day. A modern expert has
succeeded in reassembling 1877 of these
ancient varieties.
