Mesh Public Schools BabsonTheme ROGER BABSON WELLESLKY, Dec. 11 Tl)0 othor night I attmHlftd Club of a On program WIIK Kinging by the High School Glee Club of 50 It was wonderful music, After the meeting, I suggested to one of the teachers that It would be more interesting to the businessmen present--most of whom were employers--to put on demon- Ktratlonft In spelling and in mental arithmetic. The teacher replied: "I'm sorry but it would be a failure." Now there in no objection to high ffohoota having glee, clubs, bands, hookey tfAtnK, why not also give exhibitions in spelling, arithmetic and some of the other things In which we businessmen are also interested. We especially would like to see the school teachers themselves such an exhibition! I am very in making this suggestion. Yet, if you-as a reader pass these thoughts along to your high principal he will pass them off with a laugh.

He does not recognize that you and others are paying his salary. Voting of more money for schools will accomplish little. It even may hasten the breakdown of our entire economy through overtaxation. Most all communities appear to be In this unbalanced predicament. Do not think that WelJes- ley is any different from other places.

Most teachers all employ the same nonuseful systems which are taught at the normal schools. Too many businessmen have employees who are high school graduates and who can neither read nor write correctly. The manager of a large sized grocery chain had occasion to use high school help Friday afternoons and Saturdays. This help was hired at headquarters and sent out to him, About one in ten of those who were sent' to him had to. return to the school because they either could not read his writing, or he could not read theirs.

As for simple addition, imbtractlon and multiplication, they were impossible, I suggest that readers contact old grade teachers and see what they will say. Many believe the present day system of emphasizing nonesaentials will not stand the tost of time. Don't blame the They must tea-ch as their order. When you finally down why your graduates are Inefficient you will find that 4he fault with the school committees. They are looking for votea and hence make courses to the chtlldreh and avoid courses in which the children of their voters might fail.

Another serious defect in our school system is that school committeemen rate teachers by the percentages of failures in any one class; If Uiiff is above a certain fixed basis, the teacher is penalised lor inefficiency. In other words, the committee blames the teacher rather than the student and the parents. This causes each, turn, to pass pupils from one grade to the next, rather than be downgraded on her own records. Recently a brilliant school teacher contacted my friend Walrner in an attempt to get some sort of a petition signed. He kidded her about working with any group that would turn out; graduates who could neither read nor write correctly.

When she sought to deny such is possible, she was given definite names of graduates. The teacher replied: "Very well they may not be able to read or write now, but they could when they graduated. They probably have forgotten how!" I learn that many school committees permit SOCIAL PROMOTIONS. You Just cannot put a quart of milk into a half-pint bottle. And school commlttecmen state It is just as obvious that you just cannot keep 17 year old child in the third grade Indefinitely.

It certainly is so if the child has to go to school until he IK eighteen, Most teachers are allowed 10 to 15 per cent "social promotions" by many school committees, As an old teacher tells me students are promoted from class to el and finally "graduated," without the ability to read or write correctly or to do simple mental arithmetic correctly. They are vomited out on an unsuspecting public "graduates," with fourth grade educations. This must be corrected if our public school system' is to command respect.
