CHILD BRILLIANT SCHOLAR, MAKING GOOD RECORDS, BUT HER "INTEREST" GRADE LOW, SO "EXAMS" REQUIRED.
Class work in the public schools of the city is being brought to a close and in nearly all grades examinations are being held. These examinations are the bane of the lives of the students. They say more examinations are being given this year than has been the custom. The merit system is not receiving the recognition it did a few years ago. Pupils of a class in German at one of the schools are complaining. They say that at the early part of the term the teacher told them they could write out their translations and keep them in a note book for use at review time
or the next term in case of failure. But now has come the order that all
the books are to be placed in the teacher's hands for destruction. She has considerately given them the privilege of keeping the blank paper in their own books, but the used pages are to be destroyed. The pupils are wondering to whom those note books
belong.
A Child's Experience. A story is told about a little girl at
the Garfield building. The new system of grading as installed at the high school has been copied at the Garfield building. This system provides for an "interest" grade, which is given as
the reward for attentlveness and studious habits. The interest grade Is added to that made by the class work.
The little girl who figures in the in
cident is brilliant and her class work
was so good her grades would have
exempted her from any examinations.
But she was given an interest grade so low that she will be reaulred to
take all the examinations In order to pass.
