The people of this nation, it is

not only opposed to war, but are
willing to go to very great length
to avoid it. Our slowness in enter

If the above causes of failure are
typical, it is evident that though the
school has done all in its power, it
will still be absolutely impossible
for all our children to advance at
the same rate, and under the pres
ent grade organization nothing is
left to 10 but to retain those who
have not mastered enough funda-
mentals to enable them to pursue
with profit the work of the next
grade.
At the general assembly Monday
morning, the principal made it clear
that the school was not sponsoring

breads TO see his or her child fai
to be promoted. Well should the par
ents take this matter seriously, ant
do all in their power throughout thI
4 year to make it possible for theil
child to. progress, at least, at the ex-
pected rate. If for some reason
however, the child is unable tc
make this average progress, little
is gained by showing it into a more
| difficult grade. In other words, after
both the teacher and the parents
have done all in their power to
make it possible for the child to
master the required fundamentals
of a given grade and the child has
failed to accomplish this, in most
cases ii will certainly be detrimen-
tai for the child if it be promoted to
a more difficult grade. If the child
cannot carry the lighter load that
it is now striving to carry, why give
it a still heavier load and expect it
to succeed? OF course, it is easy for
the teacher to pass her undesirables
on to the next teacher. In fact, she
will find this the popular thing to
do from the standpoint of many par
ents. But the true teacher will con-
slider nothing but the welfare of the
individual child, and will conscien-
tiOusly to what she consider best for
1t even though she lose her position
by so doing.
Statistics collected in hundreds of
cities in the United States show that
between a third and a half of the
school children fail to progress |
through the grades at the expected
Iate; that from ten to fifteen per
cent are retarded two years or more
and that five to eight per cent are
retarded at least three years.
