Practical acknowledgement How Ever must be Given to or. Padwick to continue his valuable work. There Are none so Blind As those who re fuse to see but the children Are forcing us to see the Beauty and value of this Branch of education.

Padwick in his great work must realize that the cultural develop ment of Canada through her Chil Dren is of More importance than Petty jealousies. Jessie Maclennan school trustee Ward 2, april 22. Explains stand on Pupil grading to the members of the Manitoba educational association appreciate the efforts of your paper often under difficulties to adequately report the proceedings of the various sections at our annual convention. I must however ask a slight correction of a quotation attributed to me in connection with the report of the committee on character build ing. Toward the Middle of the report the following passage appears in your columns express ing an opinion apart from the re port. Or. Bartlett declared i would make it a capital offence to retard a Pupil. I would pro Mote them every year having them classified according to chronological order. Students should be in a position to catch a smattering of mathematics whenever and wherever they i shall neither evade nor explain away the mild joke about capital offence but i do repudiate the word smattering. As i have not publicly explained my views on this Point before i wish them presented correctly. My state lieutenant governor greeted Hon. W. J. Tuple was greeted by mrs. J. S Gannon past president of the ladies auxiliary of the Canadian legion b.e.s.l., on the Occa Sion of a visit to club Headquarters at Harrison Hall Friday afternoon. Mrs. Gannon is seen being introduced to the lieutenant governor by e. Manby who acted As chairman in the absence of r. Harding president of the Branch. Ment in reply to a question by the superintendent of education was without any connection with the report i May say personally that i am a heretic in this matter of grading. I would have the pupils graded by chronological age As much As possible promoting them every year. But i would classify them by subjects providing enriched courses of Reading and extra assignments for the rapid learners and accepting a Bare minimum in subjects where a Pupil is slow in learning. If necessary i would organize Drill groups or Opportunity classes to enable pupils to catch on to any special phases of such a subject As mathematics which they May have found my opposition to the demoralizing practice of retardation so prolific in producing problem children is equally Only by my distaste for anything like educational smattering. Do much or Little but make a Job of it. G. W. Bartlett. Winnipeg april 22.
