A child plays truant either because
the school has too little interest for
him or else because the parent cannot
properly control him. Probably In
most cases both circumstances affect
his conduct. II the subjects taught
and the teachers themselves were in
all respects what they should be and
If the parents had full control of their
children, there would be little heard OF
truancy or its effects. There are three
causes of truancy, therefore. which de
serve attention-a narrow curriculum
which fails TO meet the needs or in
tercsts OF all the pupils; inefficient
teachers who by reason OF lack OF
skill. tact and sympathy fail to reach
some of the pupils; weak or Indifferent
parents who fail in their duty OF keep
ing their children in school.-"Charl-

Telling Tales.

The teacher was giving them a prac-

and very little girl was expected t.
Tell some incident in her recent ex.
perience. In the class there was one
bashful little girl who finally was
induced TO tell OF an experience she
had when the family were out riding:
I'VE were riding along, having nice
time" she said. when we saw another
horse and buggy coming very fast.
And pretty soon the buggy ran into
something and was upset, and all the
people were thrown out. Then papa
said: Good enough for them. never
liked those people very well anyhow"

DISCOVERY OF COAL.
Mentioned by a Jesuit In 1879 and
Mined First IN 1749.

Mined First IN 1749.
SO far us known the first mention OF
the occurrence OF coal in the United
States is contained In the journal Of
Father Hennepin, IA Jesuit missionary,
who In 1879 recorded "cole mine" Oh
Illinois river near the present city OF
Ottawa, Ill.
Coal was first mined in the Rich
mond basin. Virginia. about seventy
years after Father Hennepin's discov-
cry In Illinois, but the first records OF
production from the Virginia mines
were for the year 1922, when. accord
ing to one authority, $4,000 tons were
mined.
Ohio probably ranks second in prior
ity of production, as coal was discov
cred there in 1855, but the records OF
production date back only TO 1888.
The mining of anthracite in Pennsyl-
vania began about 1890, and 1t Is said
that fifty-five tons were shipped to Co
lumbia, Pa, in 1907. Reports Of the
anthracite coal trade are usually begun
with the year 1920 when 365 tons. one
for each day OF the year, were shipped
10 Philadelphia from the Lehigh re-
gion. Before this, however, in 1914. II
shipment Of twenty-five tons was made
from Carbondale. also TO Philadelphia.
1t is probable that the actual produc-
tion prior to 1870 was between $500
and 5000 tons.-Washington Star.
