About one-fifth Of the students in the
elementary school have trouble with their
studies and quite few of these fail TO pass
at the end of the term or semester. These
failures are expensive to the pupil for whose
benefit the schools are run, to the parent, and
TO the supporting community at large, The
student who fails usually has To repeat the
grade Eventually this throws him late fin
ishing school, late entering his life work
and deprives him finally Of certain peak Of
years of income During his school career
failure Immediately increases the age Of the
failing student in comparison with those in
his class, making him conspicuous for his
retardation. II the school is departmental
ed il complexities the schedule. In any case,
il increases the number of classes and teach
ers necessary to carry on the work of the
school because it increases beyond normal
the number of pupils in a grade,
This means that more and unnecessary
salaries must be paid. Money that might be

nto the hiring of more teachers who Will be
willing to work for inferior salaries, which
means, of course that the quality OF TIE
teacher must inevitably decline, You can't
keep a 30O-dollar man permanently at loO-

pertinent in another way, 1t quite frequently
causes the student to quit school. ANY sehooi
system which has a large amount OF repeti-

The two go hand in hand. No member OF he
public can escape the expense Of this expert
nent. IF he is a taxpayer, his tax bill Is
arper. II he is renter, he pays more rent
Moreover, out of the ranks of retarded, elm
mated, and consequently displaced, dissatls-

Complicated
ReportCords
By Angelo Potri

Some school report cards to-
day are SO complicated with de-
tail that they are likely to lead
to misunderstanding between
teachers and parents. For ex-
ample, when a teacher must
mark her idea of pupils $50
cial consciousness" or some other
category that measures a childs
status-the mark, good or bad.
does not mean much; it is &C
tually likely to confuse parents
and cause clash between them
and the teacher.
Henry's card bore a few red
marks and comments. Beside
Social Consciousness" was the
word Poor"
What does this mean"
father asked.
Il don't know, Dad. Teacher
didn't tell me"
Why. didn't you ask her? Do
you mean to tell me that you
didn't care about a red mark on
your card?"
Henry was unhappy, but he
could give no explanation. He
thought he had done nothing
wrong in school. He got 81 in
arithmetic and 86 in spelling.
There was certainly nothing bad
about that.
Father turned TO mother and
said she would do well to go TO
the school to find out why Henry
was marked Poor" In Social
Consciousness. To Henry he
said: Looks like a mighty good
report, son. You keep it up and
We'll be happy. But We'll have
to find out what the red COM
ment is all about"
Subsequently. the teacher ex-
planned to Henry's mother that
the deprecatory comment was
caused by Henry's pushing boy
who was in line. The boy
skinned his knee when he fell.
The teacher added that Henry
must be more considerate of
others.
Henry's mother asked if her
son was in the habit of showing
his classmates. The teacher re-
piled: mo. he isn't, but he did it
that time. Hence. / thought I
had better make a note of it, lest
he do it again"
That evening, when father
heard the reason for the red
mark, he asked Henry to tell
him about it.
That kid" replied Henry, lis
always trying to push into an
other pupils place. He deserved
to be showed. You see, if a pupil
doesn't get into his proper place
in line, the teacher gives him a
bad mark. Sure, I showed him."
Father smiled.
