The object of this year’s program is to attempt to solve in some measure the vital problems which confront the public schools in their effort to prepare the children of North Carolina to meet the demands of the new or- der. A large representative group of people actively engag- ed in school work and others in- terested in the educational prob- lems of the state will gather to discuss these problems. At the two general _ sessions, Mr. M. K. Fort, director of Train- ing Schools here, will preside. Other faculty members who will appear on the program are Miss Elizabeth Hyman and Mr. M. V. Mulholland. President Wright will give an address on the night of April 13th. An excellent program has been prepared. Including the two general sessions and two round table discussion groups, each under able leaders. One group will be composed of those most vitally interested in administra- tive problems, county and city superintendents. Supt. E. L. Best, of Franklin County, will preside over the first of these meetings, and Supt. Clyde A. Er- win, of Rutherford County, will lead the discussion on the con- ference theme. Supt R. M.

It is quite gratifying to learn that two of the March Graduates have already se- eured positions. Never in the past was it so impossible to be an atheist as it is today.—John Haynes Holmes. e athletics should not be the ma- educational institutions.— Harry Woodburn Chase. Colleg jor objective of Dr. You might say that the United States has passed from scarcity of economy to an economy of plenty-Dr. Harvey N. Davis. Students who use tennis courts are ask- ed to use them correctly. They were built for the benefit of the students, and the least they can do is to abide by rules that are set r them to play by. The hope of ages to come lies in the education of the child, who, having been taught how to think instead of what to think, will become impervious to subtle suggestions from the destructive forces that beset us.—Dr. John Huston Finley. wide It is no mark of disrespect to George Washington that we should attempt to im- prove our machine of government as we have improved the machinery of industry. Government, like industry, must keep pace with the times.—Senator George W. Norris. TO MAKE CHANGE IN CALENDAR Plans are on foot to make a change in the Calendar for the year 1934-35. Propo- sals have been made to the effect of giving a three day holiday between the winter and spring term, with the Easter holiday re- maining the same. A longer time will prob- ably be given for Thanksgiving and Christ- mas. Dr. L. R. Meadows, head of the English department and who is on the catalogue staff thinks that the changes are advisable. SUPPORT FIELD DAY Field Day will be a great day if every- one will give his cooperation. Even if you are not an athlete or are not a mem- ber of the athletic association, there are a number of events that require no experience whatever. 1-2 point will be given just for entering an athletic contest. Although you do not win, you will be helping your class just by entering. Everything possible is being done by the W. A. A. with the help of the College Athletic Committee to run the day in an efficient manner. Events must be on sche- duled time, and students are asked to give their cooperation to make the day a success. In all probability it will be made an an- nual event, if it is successful. WORKING HARD ON PROGRAM The Commencement Committee has been working hard to produce the program that will bring the college year to a close. An elaborate pageant will be given to cele- brate the twenty-fifth year of the founda- tion of the college. Practically the whole faculty and administrative force are work- ing on some phase of the presentation. The steering committee cooperates with the oth- er various committees in helping to plan and work out in an efficient way the unfolding of the history of the institution during _ its twenty-five years of existence. This pre- sentation will be one of the biggest under- takings that the college has ever attempted on this line, the faculty have given their time and put forth much effort to make this pageant a success. Students should show their appreciation by responding willingly when they are called on to help. COOPERATION AND LEADERSHIP Youth is continually experimenting with the new. A high school graduate is experimenting with the new when he enters college; he continues to do so when he meets new situations, and new people. Crisis that occur in his life are met by experimentation and he hopes that it will turn out for the best. To make a law by which experiments must be followed is a dangerous business. New stimuli demand new responses. But cooperation under leadership is necessary, and not obedience to an_ inflexible law. Strong leaders who guide the mental trend of youth are people who have, themselves performed many experiments; probably a goodly number of them have not been suc- cessful, but through experience they have met a situation that enables them to better guide other people. There is no one clear path in guiding one’s future welfare. There must be ex- perimentation and human cooperation under leadership. BEAUTIFYING CAMPUS The College is putting forth much ef- fort and money to beautify our campus. Those students who were here three years ago, can see what a tremendous improve- ment has been made since then. With the addition of Wright's Circle, the oval in front of the Austin Building, the many shrubs, flowers and trees that have been planted have been steps towards more beautiful col- lege grounds. *The new curbings, driveway, and granite gateways recently added are all a part of the new beauty. With the coming of Spring, the most delightful season of the year, college stu- dents should check up on the appearance of the campus. The blooming flowers and trees that are fastly becoming green will show up the unslightly paper and other waste in a detracting contrast. The gala commencement this spring will attract many visitors to our campus. Alum- nae that have not visited their Alma Mater for many years will come back for the oc- casion. Let them see the grounds at their best advantage. Students can in many ways cooperate. WOMEN IN BUSINESS The growth of the feminist movement in recent years in America has brought about many changes. There was a time when a woman attempting to enter business was only laughed at, now she follows any pro- fession that she chooses, and is honored for it. Quoting an editorial in Campus Com- ments, “The President’s wife is a notable example of the successful woman. Mrs. Roosevelt as hostess, teacher, mother, grand- mother, authoress, lecturer, business woman, sociologist, radio speaker, adviser and friend, exemplifies the modern woman who is successfully developing her potentialities to the utmost degree.” There are scores of other women who are making use of their different talents. Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Madame Curie, and Maude Adams are well known exam- ples. These women are among ‘ose who have made definite contributions to their careers. They have proven that the business woman with her clear-mindedness, execu- tive ability, personality and charm is an as- set to civilization. Girls of to-day are the women of to- THE TECO ECHO Don’t Quote Me The other night I was walking through Cotten Hall and stop- ped by Janie Hester’s room. She seemed to be studying diligent- ly. “Shine” Redfearn walked in and said, “Janie can you crawl on your hands and knees?” Ja- nie looked disgusted and said “Sure, I can”. “Shine” walked closer to the door and grinned, “Well, don’t. It’s babyish.” Janie pitched a book at her retreating form, just missing her, but don’t quote me. John Kapelec seems to have had a misconceived idea. I heard a girl ask him if anyone ever told him how wonderful he was. John smiled fondly and said, “No I don’t believe they ever have.” I moved up closer, just sure that I was going to hear something very romantic, but can you ima- gine my surprise when she said, “Then where'd you ever get the idea?” I don’t know what John did or said, I didn’t wait to see. I'm afraid it wasn’t complimen- tary, but don’t quote me. Helen Boomer says she guess- es that the hole in the doughnut was invented by some fresh air fiend, but don’t quote me. Say, have you noticed the black circles under the eyes of certain girls since Easter. Looks like they would catch up on their sleep sometime, but don’t quote me. By the looks of the coffin late- ly, looks as if somebody would make money if they put up a cigarette factory on the campus. Some girls are quite adept at ducking cigarettes when a Coun- cil member comes near—long practice maybe. But they can’t clear up the fog of smoke all in a minute—maybe they want a smoke screen, but don’t quote me. I heard one new council mem- ber, say the first night she “went up” that she was as scared as if she was going to be restricted. Whatta woman! And did you hear about the Freshman that was asked’ on, exam to quote some piece of poetry, and give the name of the poem, the author and his nationality? Well, she couldn’t think of all required items so she composed a verse and created an author to it. She passed the course, but she doesn’t know whether the dear Teacher caught on or not. That’s true, so I'll add “don’t quote me” merely to keep in practice. Somebody said that his idea of a miracle was a woman who wouldn’t talk, but don’t quote me. After all that pretty weather Easter it’s started to rain all over again, it seems many are the broken hearted ‘cause they can’t wear new Easter finery, but don’t quote me. And I hear quite a number of things happened on the Wash- ington trip—that little Freshman, Louise Taylor, seems to have en- joyed the trip very much. But there’s a few things she can’t figure out. She was heard to remark, “I do wish I knew who the Unknown Soldier was,” and “what river is the Potomac?” It’s a shame that she can’t satisfy her curiosity, (but don’t quote me). If any student can help her, I’m sure she’ll appreciate it. Wonder if she’s asked Jimmy Davenport? Mr. Cummings seems to be playing the part of the absent- minded professor lately. He rushed home one day last week to get his car, and all the time it was sitting out in front of the Austin Building. Mrs. Cum- mings just laughed and laughed ‘cause she knew all the time where it was, (my apologies to little Aubrey for infringing on his rights.) And speaking of little Aubrey, did you know that a namesake of his, now lives in Cotten Hall. Mary Delle Harris has the honor. At the University of Oregon, the penalty of snitching from the library is the deprivation of their shoe laces, which are then used to tie the pencil to the desk. That might work effectively here if some of the students would try it, but don’t quote me. Well, the after Easter parade has started and so much white is being seen that I'm about to believe I’m in heaven instead of morrow. It is for them to carry on, and con- {at E. C. T. C. Whatta compari- tinue to prove that life is more interesting and beneficial to the woman who makes the most of her opportunities. son, but don’t quote me. Why some of them are even strutting diamonds. The Easter bunny surely was kind to them. IT’S NONE OF BY BUSINESS BUT— —Don’t you think the silliest question that can be asked is “Did you have a big time?” Af- ter a holiday. —Some girls seem to be proud of the reputation they are ac- quiring. —I hear that science class has proved that a kiss is very un- sanitary—but heavens, a lot of people seem to want to die early. —There seems to be some objec- tions, on the part of some stu- dents, to putting flood lights around the lake. —Some people seem to be migh- ty dumb on April Fool’s Day. —I wonder who the girl was that couldn’t get her check cash- ed, and didn’t know the name of a certain river near Washington, D.C. —Some girls seem to be trying to create an impression by com- ing back after a holiday and not wearing any make-up and painting circles under the eyes just to make us_ think they’ve been dissipating—dumb? —The Easter Parade was delay- ed a week at E. C. T. C., on ac- count of the Easter bunny being away. —Someone heard that someone else at a certain college had ten whole bucks. —I just can’t understand these gals that get orchids for Easter. —Some of these freshmen can't realize yet that they are in col- lege—and they’re not all fresh- men either. —I wonder who the council member is that is going to kill a big one when the new council is installed? --Speaking of council members, I wonder if any of the new mem- bers will have a guilty cience. cons- —Speaking of the faculty, they are working on some more plays —it couldn’t be any bigger suc- cess than the ones they gave last} year, but I’m sure it will be as good. THINGS WE’D LIKE TO KNOW Why does Ridenhour want to hasten home from every ball game, just to walk the campus by himself? Why has Mr. M. L. Wright had so much trouble planning _ trips for his Sociology classes to go to the State Hospital—he never has been able to get them there? Why has one co-ed who used to be very fond of a certain brunette now showing affection for a red-head? What girl embarrassed herself by calling Mr. Cummings “Jim- mie B” on the Washington trip? And on the same trip who were the three girls who walked down the Washington Mounment to be with three young men from New York? How did the talkative Fresh- man who likes vegetable soup so well, enjoy sitting on the escu- lator? Why were the three certain girls so anxious to ride with Mrs. Proctor, back from Washington? The United States has entered upon one of those critical per- iods in which historic values have gone into the melting pot. —Harold J. Laski. We cannot hope to sell more abroad unless we revive the good old Yankee custom of swapping. —Cleveland Rogers, editor, of Brooklyn Eagle. They (Jefferson and Hamilton) never contemplated a “mobo- cracy” such as our government has become.—Dr. Gilbert J. Bay- nor. a I’ve heard that in the Spring a young man’s fancy turns to love. Our co-ed’s didn’t wait for spring. For instamce Theo and W. O. seem to be able to make time in all kinds of weath- er, but don’t quote me. I’ve heard that Senior “Y” cabinet lost their dignity this week-end at State. I heard that five of them rented a room at the Sir Walter and two of them rode up in the elevator while the other three walked up the stairs, but don’t quote me. Some system and not bad at that. President Wright asked the boys to eat their cigarette butts if they couldn’t get rid of them any other way. Well, I knew they had swell appetites but I must say I didn’t know they had reached that stage. Student Opinion Dear Editor: At some theatres they some times run, before the picture a statement to this effect “Silence is golden, you are asked to re- frain from talking to your neigh- bor during the picture—it is an- noying to other people.” Maybe if we had a statement like that to run before our pictures on Saturday night that it would serve as a reminder to some stu- dents to keep quiet. Even if they are not enjoying the pic- ture, they might remember that all tastes are not alike and that someone else might like it. But they surely can’t enjoy it if there is a constant buzz and chatter somewhere near. Last Saturday night, I was sitting un- der the balcony and there was so much noise that it was almost impossible to hear anything that the players were saying. When students come to the college for the first time they are given a series of courtesy talks by student officers. Among the things that are asked of them is that they be quiet dur- ing the entertainments given here. The. regular Saturday night picture show is a form of entertainment and if they show courtesy to those sitting near them, they will ‘refrain from talking during the pictures. If you don't like the picture, my advice is to go to sleep! Dear Editor: It seems to me that it is a good thing that some definite steps have been taken to stop the con- tinuous lateness at meals. The same students are late over and over again. This is a bad prac- jtice that should be stopped. The dining room girls have enough to do without waiting on girls who could get to meals on time if they would only make a little effort. Every dormitory stu- dent on the campus knows what time meals are served and it is his duty to be there on time. Maybe now, since they have been asked not to come in at all if they can’t get there on timie, that those tardy students will stop their constant lateness. If the motto of our school is “On Time” we should practice it. Everything that is efficient is run on a schedule, and we as prospective school teachers must be efficient or else lose our jobs. Perhaps being on time to meals may seem to be a trivial thing to some students, but we have compulsory meals here, with the exception of breakfast and we ought to be there on time. Dear Editor: I thought that there was a rule on the campus that prohibited dating in the lobby of the Cam- pus Building. Yet, nearly every night there are couples _ sitting around in the lobby. I see this, for I go over there nearly every night. Why don’t the students have more respect for the rules of the college. They elected the student council officers, who un- der the school council made the rules, and yet these same stu- dents go ahead and break them. Would they be-called disloyal or just lawless? If some steps were taken to abolish this then in all probability it would disap- pear. It seems to me that some- thing should be done to stop it. PRESIDENT WRIGHT TO SPEAK TO W. A. A. President Wright will deliver an address on Intercollegiate Atheltics for women to the Wo- man’s Athletic Association in the Austin auditorium on Wednes- day evening at 6:30 o'clock. At a meeting of the W. A. A. last year President Wright stated that there was a chance of hav- ing intercollegiate sports in the college this year. Last fall he gave his permission for the girls to play six games this year with the possibility of making inter- collegiate athletics of women a permanent part of the sport life of the institution. The six games played were all won. Besides the address by Presi- dent Wright a very interesting Program has been planned for the meeting. Mary Ella Bunn will give a reading, May Hearne and Rebecca Pittman a and Will Higdon, President of the Association, will present plans for the Field Day that is to be LITTLE AUBREY Even though little Aubry obituaries were printed last issue he is not dead because he went to Wa D.

C. T. C. will probably soon be able to participate again in their favor- ite sport. With the completion of the new courts, all students will have a chance to play ten- nis—unless some individuals try to monopolize this privilege. In past years, many students and members of the faculty have enjoyed tennis, although they played on courts that were not in the best condition. This year the courts are being rebuilt and conditioned, and it is expected that a larger number of students will become interested in play- ing tennis. Tennis courts properly taken care of help to beautify a col- lege campus perhaps as much as any other one thing. However, ill-kept tennis courts detract much from campus beauty, and indicate an institution that is not as careful and progressive as is proper. With this in mind, all students or faculty members playing on the courts should ob- serve the rules made by the E. Cc. T. C. Athletic Board. If the college is financially un- able to care for the tennis courts after they are completed, the Athletic Association or Tennis Club should assume this respon- sibility; otherwise the condition of the courts may not reflect cre- dit upon those organizations created for the purpose of for- warding athletics at E. C. T. C. STANDARDIZATION OF RINGS BEEN ATTAINED After much discussion a stand- ardization of rings has been at- tained. The present Junior Class at the beginning of the year planned to buy rings according to its own choice but was un- able to reach a_ satisfactory agreement with the companies with which it conferred. It was finally decided to select a stand- ard ring for the college. This was done by a number of com- mittees which represented all the classes. A joint decision was reached by these committees and a permanent selection was made. In the future all “D” Class rings will be like those of the class of this year, 1934. All Senior rings will be like those of the Senior class of 1930. The only differ- ence between the two rings is that the “D” class ring does not bear the college seal as does the Senior ring, and there is a slight difference in the cutting of the stones. Juniors have lately been ordering their rings through the Stationery Store where all orders will be made in the fu- ture. The Star Engraving Com- pany, of Houston, Texas, has the contract for furnishing the rings. eee INTERESTS ON THE SIDE- LINE AT A BALL GAME A big fight. Mr. Deal promenades. A ball in the lake.

C. T. C. Nine 7-4 “Lefty” Dunn Does Tossing For Pirates. The East Carolina Teachers College baseball team opened its campaign here February 27th, and was handed a 17-4 defeat by Guilford College. The Quakers gained an early four-run lead with the aid of E. Cc. T. C. errors, and bunched blows for three more tallies in the seventh inning. The scoring by the Teachers came in the ninth, after two were out. Charles Cobb, pinch-hitting tripled to send in two runs and to start a ninth inning rally. An- other three bagger by Kapelec, and two doubles featured in the retalliation. “Lefty” Dunn, E. C. T. C. hurler, gave seven hits and fan- ned seven. He walked only three men during the game. The Guil- ford pitcher, Weston, allowed nine hits and fanned five. He was rather generous with free passes to first, passing seven. Jimmie Johnston hit two sin- gles and a double to lead the Teachers at the bat. Kapelec hit a triple and a single for E. C. TC. Although the Teachers have been practicing but a_ short while, they showed in the contest that their playing needs only the polishing which comes from steady drilling. Football Will Be Altered To Aid Aerial Attacks The Short Axis Circumfer- ence To Be Decreased Next Season. A change in the specifications of the football for 1934, decreas- ing the circumference and mak- ing it easier to handle and pass, was announced last week by the National Rules Committee through Secretary William S. Langwood. The short axis circumference has been reduced from 22-22 1-2 inches to 21 1-4-21 1-2. No change was made in the other specifications as to air pressure, weight, general shape, or long axis circumference. Last fall various schools or- dered balls of smaller circumfer- ence than the specifications pro- vided. A nation-wide canvas of coaches was made and the com- mittee found a popular desire for a change in the ball. The new specifications seemed to meet the approval of the major- ity of coaches. “This is the first change,” Langwood said, “since 1931, when a slight alteration was made in both long and short axis cir- cumferences.” The change in the ball will undoubtedly aid the forward passes, and more teams may build their offence around a “passing attack” next fall. Few changes have been made in the ball, Langford said, since the early days of football when it was specified to be a “yolate spheroid” of leather with a rub- ber bladder. The standardiza- tion of equipment evolved the present specifications. ae ee In bringing the country out of the depression, Congress must deal not only with the thieves of Wall Street but also with the subsidized press whose slogan seems to be “Stop Roosevelt!”— Congressman William T.

Students Are Requested To Observe Rules Made By The Athletic Board. Six double tennis courts, that will accommodate twenty-four players, are rapidly nearing com- pletion under the supervision of the Athletic Board. They are located on the back campus— four between Jarvis Hall and the Infirmary, one behind Wil- son Hall and another behind the dining hall. When completed the courts will be available to all E. C. T. C. students. The students tak- ing advantage of this privilege are requested to take better care of the courts than was evidenced last year. Mr. R. C. Deal, Chairman of the Athletic Board, stated last week that the same rules used last year to govern play on the courts would continue in effect this year. The rules are: 1. That students playing on the courts be bonified members of one of the Athletic Associa- tions, or the Tennis Club. 2. That students playing on the courts wear heelless rubber- soled shoes. 3. That courts not be lined off with sticks, etc. (Lime will be provided for this use.) I SAW THE BALL GAME Just a sketch by a gir] stu- dent of each player as he came up to the bat. Baxter—He looks up to heaven for his inspiration and then knocks “flies” that sometime get caught. Incidentally he’s a big “Catch.” Theo—Too much home brew and too many girls maybe. Theo says he had rather walk in than run—Maybe he can run, who knows? “Runt”—Come on “Runt’— where is your last year’s spirit? Isn’t she around some place? John Hodges—God’s gift to women! Did I hear some one whisper? I think he must be a gift to E. C. T. C. ball club. As a third baseman he’s the “Stuff.” He and Baxter sure used a sen- sational network. Jack Barrett—-No wonder somebody thought he was a “high-hat”, all his hits go up— when he hits. Jimmie—He creates sensations with his big feet, big mouth and big “hits.” John Kapelec—He must love home plate, because he certainly believes in sticking to it. “Lefty’—Baby of the club. Funny thing that boy—left hand pitcher—right hand batter and goes in for “red-heads.” Bill Puckett—Catch that ball, Bill, it isn’t a big bad wolf! Too bad “sonny” we all have bad days. Here’s hoping you'll be more successful in your other ventures. SCIENCE CLUB ELECTS OFFICERS The Science Club held its regular meeting Tuesday night, April 10th, for the purpose of electing officers for the coming year. Those chosen were Presi- dent, Robert Sugg Flemnig; Vice- President, Margaret Martin; Sec- retary, Malene Grant; Treasurer, Elizabeth Keith; Assistant Treas- urer, Frank Jennings, Publicity Manager, Daniel Jordan. The Club decided to go to Beaufort for its industrial trip which will be counted as one of the regular club meetings. The trip will be on either April 25, 26, or 27. Two other meetings will be held this year. One of these will be for initiation which will be followed by a social. The other meeting will be the occa- sion for entertaining a visiting speaker.

These were accounted for by Johnson, Kapelec, Hod- ges and Ridenhour. Johnson's double came in the ninth inning when he drove in two runs for E. C. T. C.

Ridenhour played with form and ability during the entire bas- ketball season, and received praise from many spectators as well as his team-mates. His playing in the first two baseball contests indicates that again he will be a deciding factor in the success of an E. C. T. C. athletic team. At the present he is do- ing good work holding first base. Ridenhour is a Junior here, and is dcing well scholastically. Before coming to E. C. T. C. in the Fall, he attended Ruther- ford College.

(NSFA)—Taking a step unprecedented in the annals of Lafayette campus activities, all of the members of Student Council last week signed a writ- ten pledge not to allow political considerations to influence the elections for officers of that body which are to take place later in the spring. The move is in line with the trend toward a cleanup of cam- pus politics. “It’s prime pur- pose”, says the Lafayette, offi- cial undergraduate publication, “is to eliminate all the deals, trades, combines, and prejudices that have so far usually been a part and parcel of every election on the campus.

CAN YOU IMAGINE? Some Freshman girl certainly has an ardent lover back home for while sitting behind two girls in chapel I heard one say to the other, “And he says he wrote it for me and that I was the only inspiration!” I looked over their way and in her hand was a paper on which there was a poem. I could only see one verse of it and it went this way: I am surprised that even God, With all his power over this sod, Could take the soil and from it hew, Such unearthly charm as is had | by you. Immediately I thought of a little poem I've heard, “And poems are made by fools like me.” Can you imagine Runt meet- ing Joy Pickard on a Saturday night just before the show, ask- ing her for a date, going into the auditorium with her, finding two vacant seats on the row in front of Mary Belle, who was appar- ently saving the seat next to her happening. I couldn't! It may be love, I don’t know, probably some of you can tell me whether the co-ed who was so interested in looking at and eream and tried to suck it, is really in love with the girl or not! I was riding fast so I didn’t see who the fellow that tried to thumb a ride with me, but I did hear him say “Mt. Olive.” I wonder if it was Cliff. Probably she was going to meet the family. I don’t know, but anyway I saw that little Bar- ker girl walking up Fifth street with Mayhew one afternoon last week. A co-ed went into one of the local dime stores and asked for was a certain record. The clerk found it and asked if he would like to where I can be alone.” While the} clerk was wrapping it I glimpse the words, “In Other Words We Are Through” on one side of the record. I understood.

The Oral Recitations The oral recitation presents some difficulties which make it undesirable for use in measuring achievement in science work. The first. difficulty is that when the teacher asks a question of a pupil in class that question is of no use in another pupil. Secondly, testing if Johnny the question incomplete. suppose that he about one-half of the question, how much is his recitation worth? Well, most teachers, I think will attempt to give him a per- centage mark. Will it be 50 percent? Probably not. What Johnny receives as a mark for answers , let us answers his recitation will largely depend | upon how the teacher feels to- ward Johnny at that time, on how the teacher’s digestive ap- paratus is functioning, and good student or not. So Johnny receives anywhere from 50 per- cent to scmewhere above the passing grade for his recitation. Thirdly, that the teacher then calls on Mary to complete the recitation, which she does in fine style. How much is Mary’s recitation worth? Well, Mary might not have re- membered anything about suppose ferred until Johnny made his recitation, then with the sugges- tions made by the boy she was able to complete the topic. May- be she knew only the half that Johnny did not know. Is her recitation worth 100 per cent? Written Work Papers which are handed in at the beginning of the period are sometimes thrown in the bas- ket as soon as the pupils are out of sight. Or, the teacher takes them home and the pupils never see them again. Or, the teacher takes them home and corrects them, sometime, and a week or so later the pupils get them back —when they have forgotten about them completely. little poem I saw not long ago—- I crept upstairs, shoes in hand, Just as the night took wing, And I saw just four steps ahead, Grandma doing the same darn- ed thing.

I have solved the problem of the oral recitation, so far as I am concerned. I don't attempt to score it. The only recognition which I make of the oral recita- tion is to record some note in the rank-book after the name of the pupil who makes real con- tributions to the discuss- ings. I use these in the final ana- lysis of the grades to be given at the end of the marking period. If, however, I wish to ask questions in class, concerning the topic under discussion, I ask such questions as can be answer- ed briefly and to the point. I usually manage to ask questions the answers to which as the pupils give them are either right or wrong, and can be scored as such. Those answers I ask the pupils to write down on a piece of paper, all at the same time. We then score all the answers at the same. time immediately. The results are that all of the pupils are scored on the same question at the same time under the same conditions. (They score \their own papers.) They know immediately the answer correct- ly stated. The teacher learns class (in hand and can act accerdingly lby reteaching if necessary. I allow the pupils to score them- selves one point for each correct answer item. These points I then enter in my rank book, where they accumulate until the end of the marking period. | 2. My students are always giv- en credit for home work.
