FAILS IN
SENIOR CLASS
Mission Report Shows
Good Record For
Semester
Especial 20 The HeraId)

AGUcCAdl 10 4ue AlEEAA1I
MISSION, Feb. 5.-But n fall
ure in one subject in the senior class
is shown in the semester report Of
Mission schools filed by Sid Hardin,
superintendent, with the board Of
education, and otherwise reveals an
excellent condition in the schools.
The junior class had IL failures
in one or more curses and the
sophomore class had 10 to fail in
one or more courses. The senior
class had $500 per cent on the hon
or roll. the junior class had i5-9
per cent on the honor roll, and the
sophomore class had GIL per cent
on the honor roll.
The elementary school had from Is
to so per cent Of the home rooms to
make the honor roll. Only . total
failures were reported in the stu
dent body of the senior high school.
Only Oh per cent were total fail
ures in the Wilson school, 4.56 per
cent in the Roosevelt school, is per
cent in junior high school and Is
per cent in the senior high school.
Seven per cent il considered not too
many failures, according to leading
educational authorities.
The report further showed that
there were 81 per cent more or
the homer roll this semester than
there wereone year ago, with 19.l
less students making grades below
passing than were made one year
ago.
The report showed a total enroll
ment of LIP with an average at
tendance for January OF 9T.57 per
cent for the entire school system.
The distribution Of grades in the
various schools were as follows:
Roosevelt school, 1852 per cen,
made = grade OF "A; 1885 per cent
made b; 37.66 per cent made q; 9.36
per cent made ID, and ass per cent
made r. Wilson school: 1889 per
cent made n grade Of al; 44.4S Der
cent made B; 1916 per cent made
c; 4.6f per cent made ID, and O.3 per
cent made +. Junior high school:
1871 per cent made a grade OF IA:
3s.2 per cent made B; ST. per cent

l.6 per cent made F. Senior high
school: 1877 per cent made al: 300
per cent made b; All per cent made
G; s per cent made d, and Is per
cent made F.
The report states that this state
ment OF fact lean one or two
things: Either that the standards
are high and the record of scholar
ship unusual due TO effective teach
ing methods or IL means that the
teachers grade too high. When we
consider that M graduates continue
records Of high scholarship In the
colleges and universities and that
50 Tar ms we know no teacher has
ever been accused Of being too lib
eral, then we must conclude that
the scholarship IL very high, due 70
effective teaching"
