BOARD
. ACTS ON RATING.
Compromise Plan on Prob.
lem Regarding Teachers
Is Accepted.

A compromise for the troublesome
problem of teacher ratings was pro-
posed yesterday by Supt. Frank w.
Ballou and accepted by the Board OF
Education at its meeting in the
Franklin School.
The Superintendent'S suggestion pro-
vided for the continuance OF the
present system for the current year,
but stipulated that rating officers were
to make additional rankings on the
basis of the new rating principles set
up by the Committee on Teacher Rat
ing as a trial
Due to the many and varied objec-
tions to the new system as revealed
by questionnaire to the six groups
of rating officers, DR.. Ballou felt it
would be extremely unwise to force
on them a system which they did
not understand and with which they
were not in sympathy.
Members Approve System.
Although the board approved the
plan, members were insistent this
temporary continuance of the old
system should not be regarded as
killing the plan suggested by the
Committee on Teacher Ratings last
April.
"A lot of time and effort has been
put into this thing and it is not to
be put aside because a few officers
don't like it." declared Henry Gilligan.
@F tho ,ir
is not a slipshod thing. Anyway, the
complaints against the old set-up
came from the teachers, and 1t is
they, not especially the officers, that
We are trying to satisfy"
The members emphasized the i'm
portance of the trial use of the new
rating sheets by the officers in con-
junction with the old system, and
that complete data from this trial be
presented to the superintendent and
to the board.
Objections Are Cited.
The old system, against which the
teachers protested, contained too many
classifications. and there was large
OppOl utility 1OL
due to the different standards used
by the various rating officers, Mrs.
Henry Grattan Doyle, president of
the board, explained.
The new plans recommended by
the committee last April included a
rating sheet, a four-group rating
classification and a new supervisory
form to be used by the rating officer.
This form was, according to DR.. Bal
lou, the most opposition-provokin
element in the proposal, and he rec
commended postponement of its use
until each group of rating officers had
studied it and reached conclusions as
to its disability for each school level.
If there were reasonable unanimity
Of opinion among the rating officers
in favor of the use of the new plan
at the end of the school year, the
board could readily approve it at once.
In the absence of such unanimity of
opinion and mindful of the impor-
tance of the efficiency ratings of
teachers in their professional advance
ment, it appears desirable and neces-
sary TO find some compromise be-
tween the two. conflicting points of
view" he said.
The board also approved continu-
ance of Selden NJ. Ely, former super
vising principal of the fifth district.

TODAY, an amazing, new reducing
method which offers at last, a way to
take of ugly fat without suffering a
hungry moment-and without taking
strenuous exercises or drugs. A method
which increases physical and mental
energy as excess weight disappears.
Under the direction of the eminent Dr..
Damrau of New York, a number of
people who were gaining at the rate of IA
pounds month, followed this remarkable
method. And the average loss registered
Consider that carefully.
This Is All You Do
This sensational reducing method simply
calls for this: Mix g CT glass of Welch's
Grape Juice, with u CT glass OF water,
and drink before each medl-dnd at bedtime.
Then eatsensibly, and this is what happens.
First, Welch's Grape Juice satisfies your
craving for rich, sweet foods. You have
less desire to over-eat fattening foods
yet you do feel comfortably satisfied.
Second, the grape sugar in Welch's is
quickly burned up-producing vital en-
ergy. And, most important, helps nature
to consume excess fat.
Third, the juice has an alkalizing effect
on the system which any doctor will tell
you is highly beneficial.
This is why weight is not only lost natur-
silly and safely-often at the rate of z
pounds month, or more-but why you
feel 50 much better and stronger as your
ugly fat disappears.
Only One Thing to Watch
In following this proved, SAFE way to
lose ugly fat-eat sensibly-and be sure
to use Welch's pure, aged, unadulterated
full-strength grape juice. Made from the
finest grapes grown. No water added; no
artificial coloring. Good Housekeeping
approved. Insist upon the genuine Welch's
Grape Juice for the results you want.
