IF YOUR L3MMMEIMM= THE COT J NGIAN Grades Aren't All, Advises Ed Prof • Marks are not "the important thing" in determining a student's 'accomplishments either in public school or in college, parents were advised today by, Miss Mabel Kirk, associate professor of edu cation at the College, - "The true critera for judging a child's academic success," she said, "is 'not' the grades. he earns but what he does in the home and outside the school with what he has learned in the classroom." Some students, : she explained, can - "cram" to make a high test mark and still not know anything. Others, she explained, will read perfectly under teacher• supervis ion but never voluntarily read a book at home. The education . professor warned strongly against placing too much emphasis on grades. The award of money or other gifts for high grades she discouraged as giving "the- student a false sense of val ues and frequently encouraging cheating." Such emphasis, she added, often is simply a matter of parental pride which can cause children to be, unhappy, dislike school, and result in an inferiority complex. It. has been known, she warned, to prevent development of some special ability such as singing, writing, or drawing. College Appoints New Civil Engineering Prof Alphonse A.
