e Whitby SPECIAL OLASSES ARRANGED FOR SLOW SCHOLAR EDUCATION Backward Children to be Given Special 'Attention by Teachers ~~ (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, May '17, = The sugges- tion that the last half-hour of each school day be devoted to special instruction for backward pupils is made in a report on local public schools made by Inspector R. A. Hutchinson B.A., persented recent- 1y to the Board of Education. Inspector Hutchison would have the school hours the same as us- ual from 9 am. to 4 p.m, but would allow the more able pupus to be dismissed from school at 3.30 p.m., while the remaining half hour might be devoted to the m- struction of those who had not done their work sufficienu, well during the day, either through neglect or inability. He is of the opinion that if such a system were introduced it would simplify was cipline, encourage industry and generally tend to improve the standard of the schools, also that it would be a real daily encourage- ment and a reward for good work, Commenting upon the present system whereby scholars who take at least 65 per cent. on the year's work are being promoted without having to write a final examina- tion, the inspector points out that these children are being dismissed from school about one week be- fore the end of the term. The privilege of not having to try the exams and being classed in the favored list proves an incentive to good term work, the inspector EAT CREAM of ¥ BARLEY IY And Be Bure of Good Health COUNTY GROUNDS IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, May 17~The grounds sur- rounding. the court house, registry office, and county jail may be in- cluded among the beauty spots of the town at the present time.
