S———————
Another decrease in the number
of student failures for the past
scholastiqryear in the Athens pub
lic school system has been an
nounced by Superintendent B. M.
Grier. The steady decrease in the
number of failures both in class
room totals and among individual
student totals has been mani
fested for the four-year period on
which estimates were made.
The general decrease has
amounted to 10 percent in the
high school and a proportionate
figure in the elementary and de
partmental schools. For 1929 the
number of individual failures was
%7 percent of the total number of
students enrolled in the High
‘school, and for 1933 had been
brought down to 7 percent. The
result has been due, said Superin
tendent Grier, to a number of
causes, but probably more than
anything else to the system of
homeogenous grouping which was
instituted ' four years ago. Other
contributing factors have been the
book rental plan, the emphasis on
health education, and kindergar
ten work.
Under the homogeneous group
ing system as many as seven
classes in the same course are
taught in the Athens schools, with
each student placed in the class
for which he shows himself most
fitted. The plan used is a modi
fied one, not based on psychologi
,cal tests as is the case in many
schools, but on a student's men-

22nd State in Line
ST. LOUIS.—(AP)—A mounting
wave of wet votes from rural sec

added Missouri to the 21 states
clustered under the banner of pro

As unofficial and incomplete re

of the precincts in the state, the

cast a vote of more than 3 to 1
in favor of the xzfififfos LA

Returns from 1,810 of the 4,126

The sweeping strength of the
repeal vote was evident when in

Babies Were Sold For
From s7l to SIOO and
State Has No Law Cov

REPORTS MEDICAL,
SOCIETY HELPLESS
‘Children ‘‘Sold” Were In
fants of Young Unwed
' Mothers, Reported
TULSA, OKILA _.(AP) Evidence
that babies bornp out of wedlock
have been sold here for adoption
was revealed Saturday by Mrs.
Mabel Basset, state commissioner
of charities and corrections.
Mrs. Bassett asserted she had
obtained statements signed by
three physicians after the “baby
market” was uncovered accident
ally by Miss Helen Schaeffer, di
rector of the local children’s ser
vice bureau.
At least four babies have been
“sold” recently, Mrs. Bassett said,
for sums ranging from S7O to SIOO,
the physician allegedly taking the
money as ‘‘costs of hospitaliza
tien.”
Deploring the fact that Oklaho
ma has no law under which such
cases can be prosecuted, Mrs.
Bassett declared she had redrafted
a measure which she has sought
ineffectually. for several years to
have passed by the state legisla
ture. She said she will reintro
duce it at next session.
. No regular session of the- as
sembly is scheduled until 1935.
“Are Helpless”
Dr. C. H. Haralson, president
of the Tusla County Medical so
ciety, said Mrs. Bassett had told
him of her findings but that she
had not yet given him the evi
dence in her possession.
“We are helpless to do any
thing untl we have all the infor
mation available,” Dr. Haralson
said.
Mrs. Schaeffer told Mrs. Bas
sett her suspicious were aroused
when two women called and asked
about the parentage of a baby of
fered them for adoption for SIOO.
l An investigation was begun that
]showed four children, all born ot
|girl 'mothers, had been disposed of
iln this fashion over a period of
a few weeks.
Each instance, Mrs, Bassett
said, the doctor in the case ad
visel the young mother he would
relieve her of the respons bili
ity of caring for the child.
1 “The girls agreed because they
{had been betrayed and were at a
{low ebb, both physicially and
| mentally, and because they were
}so desperately costs and care for
{pay hospital costs and care for
