He heard the boys and turn

made no complaint, both boys

worker.

instead of pursuing the discus

FLUNK|NG PUPILS
DECLARED COSTLY
st. Louis School Head Says
Taxpayers of City Pay
$5OO,O00 Yearly.

ST. LOUIS (P).-Flunking students
are an expensive luxury to the public
school systems Of the United States,
says Dr. Henry J. Gerling, st. Louis
superintendent of instruction.
Citing this city as an example, he
said failing students are costing st.
LOUIS taxpayers s5oo,o00 annually.
Parents who rush their children
into school at too tender ages, schools
that offer courses too advanced for
the immature mind, and pupils who
enjoy an overabundant social life
share the blame, DR.. Gerling said.
Start School Too Early.
"The guilt of the parents Is that
they allow their children to begin
formal instruction at too early an
age" he explained. "As a general
rule, the child of Is not ready to
learn to read and write and figure.
ut takes all of his attention to hold
a book properly. Most children would
do better, and would not suffer a dis
coura ging false start, If they were not
sent to the first grade until they were
a bit older"
The chief mistake of the schools, he
said, is the presentation Of subject
matter too involved for mastery by
immature minds. Mathematics is an
example, he said, pointing out that Is
per cent of the first-year algebra stu
dents fail A revamped curriculum is
his suggested solution Of the prob
lem.
Too Much Social Activity.
Lack Of consistent effort and too
much social activity are the faults
students contribute to their own fail
ures, Gerling believes. A few ne
elected lessons and the whole CONT
nuity of the course Is irretrievably
lost.
Board Of Education figures show 1t
costs the city $65 annually for every
child who must repeat in the grades,
and about sl65 for high-school stu
dents. In st. Louis about 1000 an
nually must go through the first
grade a second time. 1900 repeat the
second grade and 900 the third.
