Many parents judge of the proficieney of their children in different studies they: pursue, by the class they.
are in, judging that if a boy or girl
is placed among older or_further advanced pupils, they must certainly

Knowing this weakness on the part
of parents, ‘teachers frequently promote pupils when they ought not to,
ani when the promotion is an absolute injury to the ‘child. Many parents think their children the only
smart and intellectual ones that attend the school, butt is a mistake;
there are always others who are their
