Watch Your Record "The survival of the fittest" has become an practice as well as a theory ai S. T. C. Between seventy-five and eighty students here last year weren't able to return because of low grades. Some where—BOmehow, these girls sidetracked on their way to their goal> a goal whose worth is uncomparable in its importance. As our work is attacked this year the suggestions offered by those who know, should be as light to us on a dark night. It is only a minimum requirement when we hear that "a student who fails on 50 per cent or more of her work the first quarter shall be put on probation the second quarter, and must make an average of "D" on all her work the first year in order to be permitted to return to college for the second year. Because this requirement is BO very lenient it is not necessary for any girl to question her lack of ability to be a school teacher if she isn't able to reach the above standard. Since S. T. C. is a professional school, a girl who isn't willing to prepare herself in the best possible way to become an instructor and example for children should realize Farmville isn't the place for her. If •he wan!.' college work, a classical school is open for her even If she doesn't wish to become a teacher. Each girl must watch lior own record! She alone is the one to change it. This can be easily done because failure and warning notes arc sen! out every two weeks. The purpose of the notes is to warn the student that her work isn't satisfactory and that she must work harder to pa.->s. When this girl's report goes home, it shouldn't be a surprise to the girl to see low grades since she doesn't work. If such work keeps up, the student's family will be warned by her term report thai she will not be eligible to return the next year. People arc beginning to feel that it is a sort of crime to inflict a teacher on pupils when she could not make a grade of D" on her work in college. Much of this inability found among indents in college1 is due to a poor teacher in the past years of their training. There has to be a check some place. Here and now is the time for that check.
Sine we are working for higher standard in education, elimination Is necessary for those who are not willing to be i Isiors" in our profession. We are not willing to be drones!
