School records should not be confined to the marks given by the teachers to show the advancement of the pupils in their study of subjects, but should also include both objective and subjective reports on those physical, mental, moral and social characteristics which affect both school and adult life, and which can be influenced by the school and the home.

Стр. 120 - V. Greater Attention to All That Affects the Child's Physical Development One of the first considerations of progressive education is the health of the pupils.
