How to Grade Sunday
School Pupils
GOOD ADVICE ON THIS Diff.
CULT PROBLEM, AS WELL
AS ON THE MATTER OF
THE HOME DEPART
MENT.

Question.
We are in trouble in our Sunday
school. Have tried to arrange pu-
pills in graded classes but many do
not wish to leave old classes. What
would you do?
Answer.
The difficulty which you have met
is by far the greatest problem in
grading a school. 1t is very hard
for a stranger not acquainted with
conditions to help you. We can,
perhaps, make few suggestions
along general lines.
In the first place get the hearty
cooperation of every teacher in
your school. Talk to them of the
plan and point out the many ad-
vantages. If they are really inter-
ested in their work, they will see
that they can do much more with
graded classes. 1t is only natural
that teachers prefer certain pupils
especially those whom they have
taught for a long time but this is
the Masters work. We are all work
ing for one great end and must be
willing to sacrifice.
When the teachers are interested
they should be able to bring pupils
to want the change. OF course it
is not so easy to reason with pupils
as with teachers but by going care
fully they should be brought to see
the advantages of the plan
1t is usually pupils who are near
ly old enough to enter the higher
grade who object to being left in
the old class. Take for instance a
girl now eight who will be nine
before promotion day, explain to her
that it will be only short time un-
til she will be old enough to join
her old class.
In case you are not able to get
the help of teachers or pupils do
not give up. Get the cooperation
of the Primary teachers. 1t is not
usually hard to get the smaller pu-
pills to go in classes as you want
them. If you begin with the first
grades and see to it that all new
pupils who enter are assigned to
their proper classes, you will in a
few years have graded school.
We hope that you will not give
up. Remember you are in the
right. Educational processes are
slow and all we can do sometimes
is to smile, keep sweet, and pray on.
You have the prayers of all the
workers for the success of your
work.

IMPORTANT DECISION.

The interstate commerce commls'
sion yesterday made one of the most
important decisions Of recent years
when it ruled against the proposed
advances in freight rates in both
"eastern" and western" railroad cas-
es. The advances included in the
official classification territory aggre'
gated among all roads about $27,'
100000 annually. In making the de-
cision the commission stated that al
though it was clear that additional
revenues were needed in the cases OF
some of the railroads they could not
see a way clear to advance the freigh'
schedules, which would throw the ad
ditional burden on the people. The
so-called eastern case" was further
embarrassed by the fact that 1t was
shown that some of the railroads IN
that territory were paying good divi
dends while others barely made ends
meet. This latter fact is significant
It makes it clear that part OF the
problem is one of management by the
railroads themselves and that the rev
enue question may be solved by the
roads without adding to the sufficient
" heavy burdens already imposed or
those who pay the freight.

REINFORCEMENT.

If the present legislative appor'
tionment bill is enacted into law the
problems arising out of the situation
will have been nicely solved. Nat
urally any attempt to change the leg
islative districts of state involves
the possibility of }egislating someone
out of office and this question arose
in a number of instances in the de-
alterations of the committee charged
with reporting on the reapportion'
ment question. And yet so we'll has
tho committee performed it's labors
that in the report which is due to be
considered today there is almost per
feet freedom from objection on this
score. After 1914 there will be as
senators and 105 representatives and
up to that time AZ senators and 106
representatives. On Jan. !, 1914, the
Forty.seventh district made up OF a
portion of Cavalier county will merge
into the Eighteenth district. making
Cavalier county one district and the
arrangement reached will permit Sen
ators Plain and Mclean, elected last
fall for term of four years, to serve
out their respective terms. The
problem in Pembina county solves it.
self by reason of the fact that Hon.
Judson LaMoure has announced his
intention of retiring from North Da'
kota politics Ganssle of st. Thomas
50 will represent the First and Second
districts merged into new Second
district under the bill. In Grand
Forks county Duis is eliminated at
the end of his present term and the
new district composed of the city and
Falconer and Grand Forks townships
will be represented by Senator Turn
err who was elected last fall. In
Barnes county Senator Thoreson
elected last fall, will be retained and
Senator Whitcher finds himself with
out a district at the end of the pres
ent term. Hookway has his district
enlarged and Welo loses out at the
end of his term.
1t might have been better had the
senate membership been reduced still
more. nerhaps to forty and the house
membership fixed at such figure as
would equalize representation on that
basis but on the whole the work of
the committee is very satisfactory
and should be enacted into law.
