Went to Pieces
**I suffered a long time, before
I tried Cardui," says Mrs. Liilie
* Pruitt, 130 "K" St., Anderson, S. C.
? "I was badly run-down in
< health. My nerves 'went to
? pieces', and I had to go to bed.
? "I got so bad off, 1 could not
/ bear to have anybody walk
X across the floor of my room,
j The least little thing upset me.
i Sometimes I became hysterical.
J I had bad pains in my back and
j sides, and my head and limbs
\ would take spells of aching,
' which almost set me wild.
"One day I saw where a wo
man, who had a trouble like my
own, had been relieved by Cardui.
I decided at once to try it. It be
gan to help me from the very
first. I took Cardui regularly, for
several months, and my improve
ment was no remarkable my fami
ly and friends were delighted."
Try Cardui for your troubles.

PUPIL FAILURES
IN OUR SCHOOLS
Year after \c.tr \eiled tragedie?
no 011 in our schools. I lies?* ate
''c failure- cf children t? nvikc
'heir erade. When we ? nc?- rrali/e
?he moral HV?-t the child of fail
ure to pass to a higher grant*, we ran
understand it- seriousness.
\Y.? know failure in the business
world can cripple the fighting spir
it of a business man and Might his
future. Th?* plight of the discourag
ed student i?i les* obvious. I hat it
is just as real and just as potent ed
ucators are well aware, though par
ents mav not he.
I lie Federal Bureau of Kduealion
figures indicate that ? *nt o| 1000
children who enter first grade onlv
? >I I enter the eighth. Fift\-one '-^1 *
??r approximated one-sixth of those
1 drop out before entering high
-chool. Out of tin* 260 entering
high school onlv 107 irraducte. \ i?
oroximatelv half of tliese enter col
lege and onlv a third finish.
It will he seen that educational
1 mortalitv is strikinglx high. Flimi
; dating the economic factor, it is un
I questionably true that one of the
1 chief causes i- inahility t<? make the
grade.
Parents and laymen arc prone to
lav the Maine for this on the learher
??r on the educational system. Fhey
do not perhaps realize that educa
tion is two-fold in the home as
well as in the school. The facts
heretofore mentioned are familiar
to educators and the schools go to
Treat lengths t ? > >upply the remedy.
Hut without the cooperation of the
parent the school i< handicapped.
We are now approaching the sea
son of greatest fatality in school
life. Parents who are concerned
over their children's failure are apt
to think of it in terms of an extra
period of schooling, the monotony
of the repetition of work, or as in
jurious to famil\ pride. They rare
ly reckon the effect on the morale
? ?f the child or the expense of "re
peaters" to the community.
Regardless ol the cause of fail
ure, the fact remains that it is one of
I the greatest calamaties that can en
I ter a child's life. The pupil is dnh
hed a failure at an impressionable
I age. The result may Ik* an infer
| iority complex, hard to throw off.
I It failure is hard on an adult, it is
1 correspondingly hard on the child.
If failure in l?usine? results in loss
to other members of a community,
likewise failure of pupils means
loss to the taxpayers.
Several factors operate to prevent
school failures or to reduce them
to a medium. One is the coopera
tion of parents and school authori
ties. Report cards, whether expres
sed in grades. letters, progress charts
or any other form that these reports
may lake, are indicative of the child
tendencies. When these reports
show close proximity to the danger
line, frequent conferences between
parent and teacher may save the dav
for the child as well as the taxpaver.
The schools have alwayis pleaded
lor this cooperation.
It may not he generally appre
ciated by the public but school sys
tems have adopted various devices
to remedy this condition. These in
volve such agencies as pitortuak
rooms. educational niii.K- ??? . . jn^j
dual instruction, motivated teackin?
special provision l"'?r the Un^
nourished, and health ~ \h ,
rhen. loo. the provision !... sp^y
subjects, such a- \rt. Music. Mani>
al and Household \rts. has 5as>1j
many a child. These subjects afford
an opportunity for self-expressi^
and frequently form tin* interest,
contact.
Parents must he alert t>. their re
>ponsihilit\ with regard to the child
and the taxpa\er so that thev rnav
<?n the one hand, safeguard the self,
respect and self-confidence ?> the
child. and. on the oilier hand, that
they may reduce to a minimum
uam-ial loss to taxpayers due to p?.
; il failures.
