Ieased by high scfl autnorrties.> Every class, except the freshmen, the survey shows, established new records for high iscbolarship; during tbe past year. At the same' time,- the failures, which, in. the school year 1932-'33 stood at 9 per cent, of -ail the grades given, had dropped. to 3 per cent. Educators,' it -was explainied, somne- times speak of a "grade C.urve," andý assert that, the amouint. of failure grades given sbould' rougbly equal the amùount of "ýA's." Almost, One-Fifth That New Trier authorities 'do not agree that it is n'ecessary to* balanice every honor student with a. failing one is demonstrated in the fact that, owbere normally. about 7 per cent of the. grades given would. be "A's," aill the New Trier classes are far above that, ranging from the 8 per -cent ofý "A's" received by the freshman boys all the way up to the 18' per cent of "A's," or nearly one-fifth of ail their grades, which went to the senior girls. In, a similar way,, there were many more grades of "B" than would- nor- mnally have been expected. Ordin- arily, it might be expected that 24 per cent of ail grades. given would be "B." At New Trier it worked out that 37 per cent of the grades given to girls and 30 per cent of the grades giveni to boys were "B." Below Curve Ratos Whlere the "C," or average grades' run truc to form, the "D" grades, which indicate poor work, and the F'or failure grades, were below the "curve" ratios. While grading " on the curve". "F," like "A" sbould ýbe given'in 7 per cent of the cases.: In only one case, that of the Junior boys, was the "F" proportion up to this, while in the fireshman anid senior girl groups, it dropped t .o only one per cent.
