 Hot Election I'm Waterbury
 Waterbury: This will be the hot- test election in the state. Both Defn- ocratic and Republican parties are split, and Socialists probably VII get many of the disgruntled votes. All available information indicates Vincent Scully, Democrat. VII pc elected Mayor by Q slim margin. Republicans muffed an opporttln- ity by refusing to nominate PatrlcK Perriello, acting Mayor and preei- dent of the Board of Aldermen. They passed him over, and named |his executive secretary, Charles F0st- CT. thus alternating the Perriello ! faction. State Sen. George T.. Cul- hane, defeated in the Democratic primary and leader of g strong fac- ton, has not yet indicated his sup- port of the Scully ticket. ~ John w. Ring, Socialist who ale most was elected to Congress last fall, will receive a heavy vote, and, if the other party factions are as angry as they sound, even has 3 chance to slip in.

Some
Reason for
Cheating
Child Must Learn
That His Effort
Counts Most
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Wherever a school child is found
cheating I am inclined to blame
some one other than him. I want
to know what it was that made him
feel that failing in his subject WAS a
worse crime than cheating to sue
ceed. There is always such a per-
son, and it is he who should be pun
ished, not the child.
One morning during a regents
examination, the teacher saw one Of
the girls reach into her sleeve for a
paper. The teacher caught the child S
eye, shook her head. and the hand
was withdrawn. The tears began
slipping down the child's face and
the teacher, troubled about it all,
went to her and said, Just dry your
tears and 60 on bravely. You can
take this test without cheating. You
know this work well. Don't be
afraid. Just 60 ahead"
After few minutes the child
gathered herself together and did
her work, passing without a high
rating, but creditably. When she
got her returns she broke down
again and when the teacher asked
her what was wrong she said, "All
my marks are good except this one.
They are all over 30, but this one is
81. My father will be so angry.
am afraid to 60 home"
Fathers stupid insistence on high
marks, which he never got by the
way. was threatening to destroy his
chlld'S success. even her character.
Once teacher was i'll for some
months and had to be replaced by a
substitute. The teacher was known
as strict, one who got the work out
OF the children or knew why. The
first test the substitute gave the
class showed great similarity in the
papers. A mistake was a common
mistake, all had it; correct answer
was about identical with all others.
The teacher talked to a few of the
children and they told her that they
helped each other out. IF we didn't
she would kill us for getting bad
marks. She bawls us out something
awful and makes us stay in every
day for months if we make a mis-
take"
The only meaning mark has is
in the actual power the knowledge
gained has stored in the child's
mind. If nothing was gained, If no
personal accomplishment was made,
the mark has no meaning what
ever. Cheating. snatching marks,
is about the most useless gesture q
pupil can make. and when older peo-
pie, who ought to know better,
drive children to such futile, harm
full actions, they ought to be asham-
ed OF themselves for harming help
less youngsters.
1t Is not possible to do away with
marks. The work a child does Is
measured by the worlds opinion.
Judgment will be passed on it in any
case. Recognition of good work is a
stimulant to better work, and the
pointing out of error is necessary
before any improvement can be
made. But the marks ought to be
taken realistically. They should
stand for an actual condition. False
marks gained by cheating or given
as rewards or punishments instead
Of measuring standards, fail miser-
ably to benefit anybody.
Teach q child that effort counts
most. Good marks follow work well
done, and it Is the work accom-
plished that gives power to the
worker, not the mark.
