4 WHERE IS YOUR PLACE? If the students in high school would compare themselves with the following rules they would so undoubtedly be quite shocked. This does not apply so much to the poorer students, who struggle along, working hard a nd smill getting low marks, but to the so called bright pupils who spend ten minutes or less in preparing for a lesson end say, Well, I'll get the rest in class , or Oh, veil, I'll get by all right , This is a very poor attitude to take. Consider, for example, one of these students who does practically no studying outside of class, but gets 3's O s for a rep rt, s this a true estimate of this person's ability? Absolutely not£ This person could be getting A's as well as C's if he would only wake up and try. If you would get wise to yourself in £ hurry, read the following statements taken for the Vermont School Journal. . and compare yourself with the standards. 1. A student of C ability should show attention, in- telligent preporation, and accuracy. He should have all work reasonable neat, hand in required work on time, and make up absences to the satisfaction of the teacher. 2. A student of B ability should fulfill all the re- quirements for a C pupil, show marked initiative in rttack- ing neu work, and recite well with little aid from the tea- cher. 3. A student of A ability should fulfill all the re- ments for a B pupil, show marked interest, attention, and application, me should show originality in attacking new work, make excellent recitations with no aid from the te; ch- er, and show ability to use his knowledge. where is your p.ace?
