be thirty hours of work completed on
each subject, on which the student is
conditioned. Second, this work must
be dtne under a teacher who is certi-1
ficated to do work in that field. The
student, in any case, high or elemen
tary, should get a written statement
from his teacher or principal that
summer school work will be accepted
next fall.
Several pupils have made inquiry
about the work and we have instruct
ed them as follows: Mrs. Kellet is
qualified to do the work for any of
the punils who are deficient in Math
or Latin. Mrs. Jones, in English or
Math I. Miss Boyd in French or Eng.
I. Where as many as three subjects
are to be made up the individual, by
no means, should attempt to do the
work in the summer but will be re
quired to take the work over in class.
As was stated to a parent this week
it would be obsurd to think a pupil
could get off that much work in thirty,
one-hour recitations, when said stu
dent had failed to make a passing
grade v a period of eight months.
The father thought likewise.
Pupils in the elementary school
whose promotion depends on the re
moval of one condition, may remove
same by taking the work under an
elementary teacher who is qualified to
teach in that field of work. If the
parents will please consult the princi
pal of the school in which said child
is enrolled he will advise relative to
the child's particular needs and what
teachers will be accepted to do coach
ing work. For example: We would
not recommend that a first grade
teacher coach the work of the seventh
grade student. Neither would a gram
mar grade teacher's coaching be ac
ceptable for the high school pupil, un
less that teacher holds" a -high school
certificate and has had training in
high school subjects.
