TRAINING the Nervous Child.

This bit of good advice on taking
care Of nervous children is found In
the last number of the Healthy Home:
Inhexible regulations are essential in
the training of the nervous child, be-
cause 1t is only by them that habit
can be gradually formed which shall
serve as barrier to shelter the child
from its inheritance. Iron rules should
prevail as to regularity of meals and
bedtime. Displays Of temper or Of
oversensitiveness or of morbid emo
tionality should be met with firmness
in the one case ard kindly Indifference
in the other. They do not call for
nagging or admiration or panic on the
part of the elders.
There may be good deal of COM
mon sense in the idea that strict rules
are kinder than lax ones when nerv-
Gus, high strung children are to be
dealt with. When once the fact is
learned that regulation must be ad-
hered to a child accepts it as mat
ter Of course. and innumerable little
struggles, as wearying to the child as
to the parent, are avoided.

DR.. Braga, Portugal's provisional

cally powerful, has the reputation OF
being thoroughly upright and honest
and Is said to be the best man in the

about fifty-fve years of age and when
a young man took up the study or
medicine. He holds professorshlp In

academic bodies in various countries
Of Europe. He is also accounted d
poet Of originality and power. His
work both In poetry and scholarship
has won the commendatory notice OK
Anatole France, who presided at
fete In his honor few years ago.
About three years ago DR.. Braga be-
came president of the committee OF
seven, a position which gave him enor-
nous political power and prominence
In his organization. For many years
he has been intimately associated with

A Sand piIa.

A sand pile Is good thing for the
active child. A dollars worth of build
ing sand placed in a corner of the yard
and confined by few boards will keep
the children from digging up the flow
er beds. That they must dig is q fact
demonstrated by more ages of human
life than any Of us can look back over.
This sand pile In some back yards can
be protected from the sun and rain by
O square OF canvas stretched over 1t In
the shape OF a tent, or the pile can be
put on the shady side Of the house.

sehoolbooks a Heavy Load.

Don't let the children carry heavy
books to and from school," is the ad-
vice Of q physician who has had much
experience in chlldren's hospitals. A
mother testi6es that she believes the
heavy bag of books which her daugh-
ter carried to school every day had
much to do with her nervous break
down, says the Chicago News. The
habit tends to make one shoulder high
er than the other, to lengthen the arm
or enlarge the hand disproportionately.
When ''home work" cannot be avoid
ed let the child have one book at
school and another copy at home. 1t
will pay. Or, If that is not possible,
at least do not let him carry his books
always on the same arm or slung over
the same shoulder.

Birthday of Its Founder
and Manager

The Amphion Glee Club held a
soiree at McCain's Cafe, on I4th
street, Wednesday evening to cele-
brate the twenty-6rst (?) birthday
of Mr.. ]. Henry Lewis, the founder,
manager and musical director Of the
Amphion Glee Club. Covers were
laid for IS, and the occasion was
highly enjoyable. The club rem
dered a number of choice selections
before, during and after the
Spread" and the toasts were excel
lent examples of the art forensic
The following program was rem
dered:
"Our Director" J. Fl. Washington
"Our Club c. B. Jefferson
"Our Aim" J. D. Barbour
"The Ladies'" Charles A. Champ
"A Journey Through North Caro-
lina," R. w. Thompson

Interesting remarks were made by
Messrs. Walker, Hardy, Beals, Mel

Some of the principal selections
rendered were Medley from the
South" march Onward" "Over
the Hills at the Break of Day."
"The Copper Moon" "The Sand
Man Am a Coming" and annie
Laurie" besides special quartettes
and solos by members of the club.
The Amphion Glee Club is 10
years old, and its long and useful eX-
istence is due in the largest measure
to the patience, fidelity and indefati-
gable energy of Prof. J. Henry
Lewis, whose anniversary thus was
fittingly observed.

E'oirl It's
For
Mother S

Marcel Braunschwig, who has writ
ten ON "Art and the Child" makes a
special plea for the artistic decoration
of the nursery. He wages war against
ugly toys, such as the pouywog, the
jack-in-the-box and other grotesque
playthings. He wants everything with
which the child plays to be highly
beautiful and artistic. He wants the
Illustrations on the nursery walls for
that reason to be artistic. He points
out that the child's mind is impress
sionable and that everything which it
sees, touches or comes into contact
with leaves its impress. Such decora-
tions, he points out, are necessary in
teaching the child cleanliness and mo-
rality. He says: "The objects in
home have, besides their market value,
more secret and quite as important
value--they are discreet witnesses Of
our existence, intimate confdants of
our thoughts. They gradually assume
an expressive value because of the
recollections and associations connect
ed with them. Our hands by touch
ing them leave ON them little Of our
physical being, and our eyes, so often
resting on them, transfer to them
some of our inner being. Again, those
objects pass through various periods,
They have their youth and old age
and thus acquire an element Of poesy.
1t is our duty to extract that poetic
charm from the objects among which
we live and to make our children ap.
preciate that charm, Since it is chiefly
for the sake Of the aesthetic educa-
ton of children that we advise par
ents to enhance their home, it is evil
dent that they must take peculiar
care in adorning the nursery"

Graded School Athletic League

Last Tuesday evening number
of teachers of the colored schools
met in the assembly hall of the M
street high school and formed an
athletic league to include the STU
dents of both the high and graded
schools. The principal object Of the
league, however, is to interest the
pupils of the graded schools, as the
high schools already take an active
interest in athletics, whereas in the
grades there has heretofore been
but slight interest shown.
In all cases the object of the
league will be to develop all the boys
of the schools in healthy way and
not to overdevelop a picked few, as
is often the case where interschool
contests receive most attention.
Each school will have a league of its
own, contributing, however, to the
division to which it belongs players
to take part in games of the division
league. In turn, this league will
have teams which will form another
league, representing the entire col
ored student body of the District.
Interschool games will be held to
create active interest. Games in
which all the boys can participate
will be introduced.
The league was originated by E.
B. Henderson, teacher of physical
training in the schools, who received
permission from the board of educa-
ton to organize it, and, indeed, the
league undoubtedly will receive the
support of that body, as nearly all
of its members believe i'll interschooI
athletics.
Athletic leagues have been formed
in the schools of Baltimore, Buffalo,
Cincinnati, Cleveland, New Orleans,
New York and many other of the
larger American cities. European
cities have had similar organizations
for many years. The following Off
GERS were elected: President, ]. E.
Walker; vice-president, G. c. Will
kinson; secretary, E. B. Henderson
treasurer, Miss A. E. Thomas, prin-
cipal of the Slater School.

expected a snap. Manassas was out
weighed, and was scored against by
a blocked kick which Burwell of
Armstrong recovered and further
scores resulted from two safeties by
Manassas. During the last five
minutes of play Manassas put in
some forward passes that netted
huge gains and threatened the
Washington teams goal line. The
game was one of the cleanest that |

of either side, and the spirit of fair

WASHINGTON. NOVEMBER II, 1910
The st. Luke Mass Meeting


A mass-meeting in the interest Of
the st. Luke Hall Association was
held at Vermont Avenue Baptist
Church on the night of November 4,
and in spite of the very inclement
weather a good and very apprecia-
tive audience was present.
The meeting was presided over by
Mrs. Bessie B. Anderson, the district
deputy, who opened with very ap-
propriate remarks concerning the
objects of the meeting and the pur-
pose for which the St. Luke Hall
Association was organized. The
Association is corporation which
was organized last May by members
of the |. @. of St. Luke in the Dis
trict of Columbia for the purpose of
acquiring site and erecting thereon
hall for the use and benefit of that
order and its individual members,
and to that end it has already pur-
chased and now occupies a beauti-
fully located residence at No. 1924
18th street N. w., which has been
named "The St. Luke Home"
When all indebtedness on the home
has been cleared away the associa-
ton expects to reach out for greater
things.
Mrs. Anderson stated that the off
cial staff of the Hall Association was
greatly encouraged by the support,
both moral and financial, which the
St Lukes of the District were giving
to the enterprise, and expressed the
belief that the first business venture
of the St. Lukes in the District of
Columbia would be crowned with
even greater success than its origi-
nators at first anticipated.
The purpose of the nass-meeting,
as set forth in the printed announce
ments, and also stated by Mrs. An
derson, was to acquaint the public
generally and members of the I. 0. of
St. Luke particularly with the object
of the organization, its methods of
transacting business, the success
which has so far attended the efforts
of its promoters, and to give an op-
portunity to those desiring to do so
to subscribe for or make payments
on subscriptions to the capital stock.
Quite an interesting feature of the
meeting was the calling of the roll
of councils in the Washington dis
trict by Mrs. Sarah A. Barton, the
secretary Of the Hall Association,
showing the amount actually paid in
on subscriptions by each council as
such, together with that of its indi-
vidual members. This roll call
showed that the interest in the move
nent is widespread throughout the
order as each one of the 40 councils
in the District is well represented on
the stock books of the association.
The leading council in this respect
was shown to be Plymouth Council
No. 400, of which the efficient Asso-
ciate District Deputy and Grand
Worthy Prelate, Rev. A. c. Garner,
is degree chief. This council ex-
ceeded all others in amount of money
actually paid in on subscription to
capital stock.
One of the principal speakers for
the occasion was Miss Matte r.
Bowen, who delivered most enter
tanning and instructive address,
Miss Bowen sustained her reputa-
tion as both witty and eloquent
speaker, and while entertaining and
