Many a failure could l>e averted by the parents if they would show as much interest during the early months of the school year as they do just after the ninth month closes, and in the following year when pupils are refused admission to the next grades. Kome parents seem to be astounded when pupils are held back after failing on a years work and use every method of getting them into the next grade when it is too late. Now is the time to see after your child. We would advise that you see that J your children give necessary time to I their studies, that they refrain from loafing the streets at nighf.s and going | to parties and picture shows except on week-end nights.
