AUTHORITIES DRIVE
REFUGEES FROM hESSlNA
Dead Are Being Buried IN Trenches
Between Layers of QuiCklime
Ambassador CriSComb
Leaves Rome Ships
Pass Port Said.

Messina, Italy, Jan. For four
days and nights Major Lands, Amer
lCan military attache at Rome. and
a party of men, have been working
Il uncover the bodies of A. 5. Cheney
and wife from the ruins of the Amer
lean consulate. Several times bits of
clothing were encountered by the
workmen, causing hopes that the
Iodies had at last been found, Sbut
each time further digging only re-
lealed loose articles belonging to the
dead consul or his wife. 1t is now
believed that the bodies will be found
On the first floor. Things in that part
OF the building were covered by
Nreckage many feet deep.
The authorities yesterday determ-
| ined that to isolate Messina would be
the only way of preventing wide
spread and serious illness.
The work of the soldiers in Mes
sna today is principally that of gath
,ring up the dead and burying them
in trenches between layers of quick
| lime. This work is well under way
here but the smaller towns in the
| interior are being neglected. The
| authorities have now adopted, as q
policy of clearing out Messina. a sys-
/
| tenn of relief by which no one re
ceives supplies unless they agree to
| embark for some other place. This
| is done to keep the peasants from
| coming down from the mountains to
| take advantage of the free food.
| Professional beggars have already
made their appearance on the scene
and persons known to be well and
able to provide for themselves, are
appealing to the relief agents for as
| sistance.
There have been further earth
auakes here and the indications are
that they will continue for some time
the scientists say until the earth set
ties back to its normal condition. Last
night the quakes occurred on an aV-
erage of ten an hour.
Fire broke out again last night
completing the destruction of the city
hall. All the city records were de-
stroyed.

HELEN HAMILTON. Teacher.

Irregularity In attendance and tardi-

This evil Is most likely to occur In the
case Of those pupiis who are least In
terested In their studies, or who have
never been aroused to. feel any relish
for study. reading or any other Intel
Iectual effort, such being the duIIest
and most backward, needs every day
and hour to keep up with their cIasses.
There is James O., . boy uninteresteti
In literary pursuits, and for want Of
interest OIL part of his parents has been
permitted or required to attend school
but little or very irregular.
In his classes James excites his
teachers attention and sympathy and
he gives him special aud earnest efforts
In all kindness, and patience, bestowes
upon him every day till he begins to
feel somewhat encouraged In his be-
half. But, Alas; just "a he Is beginning
to notice that James is becoming some
what diligent, aud that he Ia being
aroused to take some pleasure Ia men
tai effort, he Is absent FROM school.
Why Is James out OF school day i?
why, father was going hunting, to
town, or TO the country, and said
might go along II I wanted to-" Thus
the teachers labor must all be done
over again and II is often more difficult
to interest James the second time than
II was the first. But, he tries again
aud partially succeeds, and about this
time James Is missing again: and 10 on;
So the tardy irregular attendant drags
along hindering the progress Of the
school I'll father thinks he has larnin
enough and allows hin, to drift out of
school at the early age of fifteen to
eighteen into an environment that
corrupts his life forever. This kind
of school work Is the most trying to
the conscientious teacher, trying his
patience, energy, and charity to Its ut
most limit.
To be willing to work for such pu-
pill against his own desire and the In
reference Of his parents and to try to
make him something Of merit In spite
Of such difficulties is real charity, aud
the calling Of every true teacher.
Parents, when your child's report
card comes home he naturally looks fpr
praise or censure. Examine 1t care
fully. Notice grades. Show them
your interested. If your child's name
isn't OH the above list, Why, Not?
Can you help him to take greater pride
