The good effect of an accurate register of deportment and scholarship in promoting a healthy spirit of emulation is acknowledged. Yet such a register is rarely kept. Teachers have no time to record each recitation as it occurs. Other duties crowd, so that the record must be neglected for the time, and afterward made from memory. Perfect accuracy being impossible, confidence in the record is weakened and its moral force lost. The AIDS secure the good results of accurate records and reports, with less expense of time, and naturally awaken active parental interest. The AIDS may be used in various ways. This is convenient: In the morning give each pupil a CARD (tive merits), representing a perfect day, to be forfeited for misdemeanor, or failure in recitation. SINGLE MERITS and HALF MERITS are for pupils who fail to retain their CARDS and yet are worthy of some credit. Five Cards held by any pupil are exchanged for a CHECK (25 Merits), representing a perfect School Week. Four Checks are exchanged for a CERTIFICATE OF MERIT, representing 100 merits, or a perfect Month. These certificates bear the pupil's name, and are signed by the teacher. The number held shows the pupil's standing. If prizes are awarded at close of session, there can be no mistake in determining to whom they belong: the decision being made by each pupil exhibiting his Cards and Certificates, no suspicion of favoritism can arise. They are neat in design, beautifully printed in BEST Colors. The Certificates are prizes which pupils will cherish. Single Merits and Half-Merits are printed on card-board; Cards and Checks on heavy paper, and may be used many times. This makes the system CHEAP. The AIDS are put up in sets of 500, there being 80 CERTIFICATES, 120 CHECKS, 200 CARDS, and 100 SINGLE MERITS and HALF MERITS. Price per set, $1.25. By mail, prepaid, $1.35.
