.REPEATERS' TO
BE STUDIED
Health Board Will Sponsor
Research on School
Problem
Sir Walter Hotel


RALEIGH, July 14.-Thc state
board Of health will soon under
take a careful and thorough
study Of school "repeaters" in a
number of representative coun,
ties in the state, DR.. James NJ.
Parrot, secretary of the board
said yesterday. From this study
it is hoped to learn not only the
basic causes of "repeaters" but
how much these "repeaters" cost
the state each year. For more
than two years the board of
health has been trying to get
something like reliable statistics
dealing with the repeater" prob
lem, but has been unable to get
figures it considered reliable be-
cause of the variations in the
different conceptions of repeat
ers," DR.. Parrot said.
The term "repeaters" as meant
by the board of health, arc all
childen who spend more than one
year in the same grade, DR.. Par
rott said. Yet some of the school
people included under this term
children who are unusually bright
and who have skipped several
grades. But DR.. Parrot is not
interested in these.
Within the next week or so DR..
Parrot and DR.. G. NJ. Cooper,
head of the educational division
of the board of health, are 60
ing to work out a program to be
put into effect this fall for an
intensive and exhaustive survey
of the repeater" problem in the
Present plans call for
the selection of eight or 10 rep
resentative counties in the state,
in which the school population
will be carefully sifted for these
"repeaters" and an attempt made
to find the causes as we'll as the
cost of the schools.
These "repeaters" can be classl-

fled generally into three groups,
DR.. Parrot said, as follows:
First, Those that are mentally
deficient.
Second, Those that are retard-
cd from physical ailments.
Third, Those that are deficient
because of improper environment
at home or in school.
"Thero is nothing that the
medical profession can do for the
first class, since so far we have
not yet been able to cure mental
deficiency, so these should be
sent home and not permitted to
continue in school," DR.. Parrot
said. at is not only impossible
for them to get any benefit from
the schools, but they hinder and
retard the normal children in the
same grade with them.
"But the board of health and
the medical profession can be of
great assistance to the children
in the second class of repeat
crs," since We can to very large
extent either remove OF correct
the physical defects that serve to
retard many children and make
'repeaters' Of them. We can re-
move tonsils, adenoids and teeth,
correct eye defects and find other
troubles that detracts from a
child's ability to do normal school
work. 1t is these children with
phsyical defects that We want to
find and help. That is why we
are going to make this new sur
vey." -,
The "repcaters" in the third
class, resulting from improper or
unfavorable environment, are
problems either for the welfare
department of the churches and
schools, and cannot be helped by
the board of health or the doc.
tors, DR.. Parrot said. Many of
these cases are the result of mall
lad adjustment and improper
home training and surroundings.
Much of this could be corrected
by more careful handling on the
part of the schools he believes.
"There is no doubt that the
'repeaters' in the schools of the
state have been costing the tax
payers hundreds of thousands of
dollars a year, to say nothing OF
the detrimental influence they
have on the other school chill
dren," DR.. Parrot said. eve be-
lieve. however, that a very large
part of this cost can be eliminat-

"Yes, | did Bessie admitted.
She had not been as convinced By
that scene as Jim had. There had
been tension and a baked hun.
ger back of Barrett's swift kiss.
Sometimes the astute Bessie sus-
pected that affairs weren't quite
what they seemed for Barrett and
Elinor.
VET the girl was happy: e9-
l. tremely and patiently happy.
She talked of their games of
chess. of plays she saw with Bar
rett, Of playing the piano for him.
She hurried home toward the
close Of each afternoon In order
to be in for tea. There was a
new brightness in her eyes, a new
sweetness in her face. She was
gentler than ever and she had al
ways been gentle. .,
But" Bessie thought. some
thing about 1t is-not quite
right"
Elinor had had no difficulty in
settling a fortune upon her own
parents. Her father was too
weary, too frail to consider the
right and wrong OF anything. Her
mother held out eager hands as
her eyes frightened.

glad Barrett saw 1t that way!"
Ida made innumerable new

that had seemed attractive and
that she discarded after one wear

She was feverish in her search
for diversion-and no diversion
helped her to forget that Vance
Carter had been locked up as In
sane in order to escape q less
comfortable place OF imprison-
ment. ~.
Vance wrote Ida now and
again, his letters smuggled out OF
the asylum to a post box BY q
bribed guard. The letters were
bitter arraignment Of her, OF bis
folly in having believed in her.
He told her in tho bluntest
phrases what she was. Ida tried
to burn the letters when they
came, without reading them. but
that gesture takes strength and

lay In telling lies. &v

admitted publicly that he had
annoyed" her for some time. She
| implied that her nature was q
housekeeping one. Seeing her
mothers name in newspaper
headlines made Elinor shrink. 1t
was all so sordid. She thought
of Vance Carter with hot pity.
She knew what her mother bad
done to add weakness to weak
ness. ... ... -.
Don't think OF It," Barrett
urged often. He was learning By
her changing expressions to know
the emotions they mirrored. He
was learning too. that he could
not bear to have her anything but
happy. =.
He supposed as the weeks
passed that he was being a TOOL
again but he could not help 1t.
He tried to steel himself against
her, to ignore her natural appeal
and he failed. To-, -

meant what she had said? How
could he when he knew her for
exactly what she was?
Elinor Weakened with a chill
start to think. "Philip!" She had
not put his name down-Philip
Sexton who sneered over coins
tossed to him in public yet took
anything that was given him
where no one could see his &C.
ceptance. She had-in the ex-
acknowledgement Philip! She
would tell Barrett that she must
have 100000 which she could
not explain. .... .....
Barrett heard this and thought
YEARLY, mo, you could hardly
explain-after the role you as
sumed last night" He was con-
WINGED that Elinor was not going
to cheat herself in doing out the
Sexton millions.
For Elinor the weeks that fol-
lowed passed swiftly. She sat for
hours each day with her father.
Bentwell Stafford seemed to be
recovering but his strength came
slowly. Elinor went to see Mar
cha and the tiny SOB who had at
last arrived. She shared Bessie
and Jim's tremulous excitement
over their new house on Long
Island. ......
With Bessie putting happily on
long shopping jaunts, Elinor con-
sidercd chintzes, rugs, schools for
the boys and the tones Of radios.
ELINOR had had a hard battle
IL with her aunt and uncle be-
fore persuading them to say they
would take share Of the for
tune. Before 1t was settled she
admitted a truth she had never
voiced even to her aunt who was
so close to her.
Aunt Bessie" she said on a
day in mid-January when she was
almost worn out by her futile
argument with proud obstinacy,
II have never said this before
| wouldn't say it now but / must.
| know, Aunt Bessie, that you and
Uncle Jim were remembered sub
stantially in Aunt Elias will a
year ago. My mother found out
about it and she so cleyerly
planted suggestions about your
inability to handle money that
she persuaded Aunt Ella to
change her plans. The sum
want you and Uncle Jim and the
boys to have is yours. It's ex,
actly what was left you until my
mother robbed you OF 1t. Are
you going to burden me all my
life with the consciousness of hav'
ing stolen your money? Barrett
and l both know this money Is
yours and that more might have
been yours If you had been will
ing to do what my mother did
There has been plenty Of gossip
about mother that you could have
told Aunt Ella"
81 never did tell Aunt Ella
anything about your mother
Bessie admitted. "Once thought
Of it never did. though-and
| was so glad even right after
Aunt Elias death that l didn't"
Jim Thrope heard all this and
considered it. Barrett put In his
voice and at last they were per,
suaded. After that came the
ecstatic hunt for house with
mice grounds and space around
it." .. "..
There's not a dark room In
i'll" Bessie would pant, shopping
with Elinor. And Elinor would
press her aunt's lrm closer to
her side, saying. Barrett thinks
it is a marvellous bargain!"
Bessie told Jim Senior that all
Elinor's opinions were second
