VOL, LXXII. Note Sent To All School Principals Recommendations Made In Order To Stabilize Tutoring Of Pupils During Summer Months Assistant superintendent of the Monroe county schools, Leland S. March, has sent a notice to all elementary school principals regarding elementary summer tutoring. The recommendations made in order to stabilize the tutoring of pupils during summer month9 contain the following suggest- ions: 1. Tutoring should be done, when possible, by teachers com- pletely certified in the subjects being taught. This is a State re- quirement for high school credit, so why accept lower standards for the elementary school level? 2. Elementary students are not encouraged to study new subjects to accelerate their pro- gram, but should concentrate .én getting a good foundation first. 3. Elementary students should be tutored in any subjects which they -have failed for as) many hours as needed; but it is ‘desir- able that they should not re-study the subjects under the’ same teacher with whom they failed the preceding year. 4. Fees for tutoring are ‘sug- gested in order to ibe fair to No. 141 both teachers and. parents. Rec- are $2 commended prices the hour for one pupil; pupils; $1.25 for three and four pupils, and one dollar the: hour for five or six pupils. | 5. In fairness to both teachers | and students, ‘it is. not recom-| mended thatsa tutor attempt to teach two subjects during the same hour of tutoring. 6, Pupils may raise a failing mark in any major academic subject if they have studied un- der a fully certified teacher and have passed the standard test selected in that subject for their grade level. ’ This. test willbe ven between August 15 and Aga’ so it will be wise for sti futorin to plan study time so that can conclude the study close to those dates.

Johnson outlined the history of hurricane hunting, beginning with the cross loop method developed | by an Englishman. The U. of} Florida was put under contract to construct a device after send- ing representatives to Great Bri-! tain for study. Shortly after the ginning of World War II, Johnson said, it} was decided that it would be of advantage to know weather con ditions in detail.
