As a usual thing, the children of the latter group can profit from theinstruction given in the regular class. Most of these children have thenormal amount of mentality, but have fallen behind because of late entrance,poor attendance, ill health, etc. All that is needed to place them on theirfeet is a little individual instruction. That these children do profit by theinstruction given to the normal child is shown in Figure 2: %i(^AJ^ JAJTV* &/. t ^AASrU,, If* Jj^yyUll J-p U!.JlJ-CLA,cUcL .2.

At that time all of these children were too old for the gradesin which they were working. By June, of them had caught up withtheir grades. These classes do not differ much from the regular class except in num-bers. Figure 3 shows one of these classes at work. In some cases considerable emphasis is placed on industrial work, espe-cially in order to arouse a childs interest. It is true, however, that somechildren are placed in these classes who cannot profit from the instructiongiven to normal children. They are the borderline cases which become per-manently arrested and must be provided with instruction of a differentnature.
