The Lazy Failures
A questionaire sent out by certain
school authorities to 2,500 students
who failed in one or moiv subjects
during the first school term revealed
(he fact that 77 per cent of the fail
ures were due to laziness on the part
of the student or to lack of interest
in a particular subject.
Ten per cent of the students ques
tioned failed because of illness or ab
sence. Only 2 pr cent claimed un
fairness on the part of the teaches.
Of the remaining number some failed
to answer, and others laid their fail
ures to outside interests which crowd
ed the periods of home study and dis
tracted the mind in school.
It is a comment, on the cause of
failures which should be interesting'
to parents and teachers equally.
