Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Teachers' Manual for the Elementary Schools of the State of Washington
Pupils should not be promoted until the Minimum Course has been completed. Too often pupils are allowed to slide along through some of their work without a real'understanding of the subject matter. Later these pupils begin to fail and drop out of school. Many of the failures of eighth-grade pupils to pass the state examination are due to the fact that the pupils are not really eighth-grade, boys and girls. They have been regularly promoted from year to year rather upon the basis of attendance than of scholarship. It is ordinarily better to require some work to be taken a second time earlier in the course than? To allow a pupil to reach the eighth grade without the capacity or training required to complete the work of the grade.
