Special attention urged for backward pupils in Lincoln county schools
Professors Waggoner, Burnside, and Westhoff blame the current curriculum for failing to motivate backward pupils. They urge extra focus and advancement in some branches, even if it requires reciting in two or more grades. The community owes these students more respect and time, while advanced students could assist behindhand peers to improve progress and value school life. School boards and patrons should consider this issue seriously.
