first 6weeks period Instead of send
ing out the report cards as has been
the practice in the past, blue warning

clusively to lack of preparation" as
the principal factor contributing to

on the failing" list. BY application
to study the list should be materially
cut down before the first appearance
of the cards on November 1st.
