1t is manifestly the duty of every
parent who has a child in school to
interest himself in the progress that
child is making in school. Too many
children fail to do their best work be-
cause of the fact that they are not
helped at home. 1t is not always
possible for a child to get all of his
lessons on time in the school room anc
all would be greatly improved by ap-
plying themselves to their studies some

spade bid. The idea OF the two spade

IN clubs had the same invitation in it
and meant great strength.
According to the new school one in
spades is enough to show strength in IT,,
and the only thing to do with an all round
worthless hand IL not to name any suit
because there is no suit that has a sure
trick in it. As the dealer must make a bid
OF some kind the only thing left for him
10 to bid no suit; that is, no-truInps.
This may seem like madness to some
but it can be supported by some very
ingenious arguments. A no-trumper can
not lose any more than a spade, as the
penalty is only fifty points in either
declaration. The no-trump call has the
great advantage that even il the ad-
Versaries know IL means wea kness, II
they want to play their cards they will
have to bid two tricks in anything they
name. Another and a special advantage
is that il never deceives the third hand.
who has none of the old difficulty OF guess
ing whether the one spade meant weak
ness or only waiting The no-trump bid
ehectually shuts him up and tells him that
IL is not necessary to pull the dealer out ,
and that il he bids he will have 20 do
the work on his own cards.
One OF the effects OF evolution is seen
In the dregs left in the average bridge
players mind of his respect for no
trumpers. To bid no-trumps on nothing
strikes him as absurd and q(pjures up
visions Of fearful losses, but'these are
largely imaginary. Take the example

This seems to be as far as they have got,
neither school having been able to con-
vince the other as yet, Those who believe
in the original no trump as the safest bid
for showing the partner that they do not

argument on their side that il is the only
bid that says just that and that il the
third hand has nothing il is more than
probable that the other side has something

The fundamental difficulty in auction
bridge was soon discovered to be the
initial bid by the dealer. SO forcibly
was this brought home to many good
players that IL was suggested TO abolish
the rule compelling him to make a bid
Of some kind; but that would spoil one OF
the fine points OF the game and make
many deals void. The trouble 10 not
that the dealer cannot declare on his
own cards but that IL is so necessary for
his partner to be able 20 distinguish be-
tween bids that are merely waiting bids
and those that are invitation bids. In
the first class the dealer wants to come
in again and show his true colors after
he has heard what others have to say;
In the second class he wants to induce
his partner to make the real declaration.
especially no trlmps.
The first theory Of the game was for the
dealer TO declare one spade when he was
not strong enough to call a red suit or
no trumps. bid of one trick in any
other suit meant winning cards in that
suit. not length, and one in clubs usually
meant at least three sure tricks in il. but
not enough outside to 20 no trumps.
The penalty being then unlimited, the
second hand always passed . spade bid
and II the dealers partner did not say
something the fourth hand would pass
also unless he had q sure game hand, ana
they would let the dealer struggle with
his spade make. No matter how good
the hands held by the adversaries their
strength was infinitely better employed
In defsating spades at 80 points a trick
than In winning upon any declaration
Of their own. because the spade maker
was always Giving them odds OF rs to
and GOULD not possibly 60 game himself.
To remedy this the committee on laws
decided to limit the losses on an original
bid OF one spade. whether doubled or not,
TO 100 points. This completely knocked
the bottom out OF the tactics Of the
.maurers,' who sat tight and said moth
ing when one SPADE was bid. The oppor-
tunitics for picking up penalties Of 400
or 500 points at time suddenly and per-
manently disappeared. When the
