The grade 7 and 8s have started a new motivational system in Miss Knetch's class. This system is to. encourage good behaviour, better work habits and better French oral comprehension. The new system. involves each student receiving $1,000 in French francs and earning or los- ing money based on an agreement made with the teacher. Every so often, they hold an auction sale in French so that students may earn or spend money. This "trial" system will run for the winter term.
