meet new difficulties. or there is
weakness in the school itself. A half
day may not be much when compared
with the whole number of days in a
child's school life, but even such a
slight absence indicates a weakening
Of the whole.
If you represent the school time of
each child with a circle and let each
absence and hardness be denoted by a
break in the same the broken, worth
less line will often be true picture
OF the irregular child's foundation,
both in knowledge and in power to
cope with the problems that meet him
in later life. l am not saying that
every irregularity is unjustifable.
So long as such forces as extreme
poverty and contagious disease are
among US. there must ever be legiti
mate reason for occasional irregulari-
ties in school attendance. But there
is vast difference between legiti-
mate reason and the worn excuses that
are SO often rendered us as sufficient
cause for these irregularities.
Suppose we were to eliminate all
cases where the child is really sick,
what a medley of excuses would still
greet us. There would be left such
characteristic types as the didn't feel
we'll, the oversIeeper. the truant, the
visitor and the foul weather. But
why continue?
| am again reminded of remark I
heard at the Delavan convention.
Prof. O'Shea in his lecture on ''The
Trend Of the Teens" said something
like this: 81 notice that If person
really wants to do a thing he does it
and then later finds very good rea-
son for his doing it. - Is not this
tendency of permitting child to re-
main at home OH the slightest pretext,
unfair TO that child, in that it de-
prives him of the advantages his class
mates enjoy2 And too often the
parents Of such pupil expect him to
keep up with the others in his studies.
Is it not unfair to the faithful chill
dren to hold them back because OF the
laggards. who must ever be a drag
upon them Is it not unfair to the
teacher who, if she have her school
interest at heart, must be alive to the
progress of the school as a unit? We
might easily extend the range Of this
influence beyond the school to the tax
payer who must suffer loss when a
teacher is prevented from doing her
best by all because of the negligence
Of the few
Perhaps, after all, the thing that
must ever appeal most 70 the parent
is the need of his child, and so ]
would like to emphasize the import
ance of the school habit" for each
and all alike. Is it not proof enough
that there is a direct relation between
non attendance at school and failure
when such large percentage of
failure is among children of irregular
habits
Finally, [ would call to mind the
influence Of such habits upon character
formation. In this present day. much
value is put upon the virtues of
regularity and punctuality and these
virtues cannot be assumed at a
moments notice. but are a result
rather, Of gradual growth. If the
child has missed his chance to form
right habits under the wise and firm
direction of teacher and parent, can
we hope that he, in his time of need.

The cYcLoPEAN EYE.
It Exists Today In Rudimentary Form
In Mans Brain.

The Greeks were unwittingly very
near an anatomical truth when they
ascribed to certain monsters called
cyclops only one eye apiece, which was
placed in the center of their foreheads.
The cyclopean eye exists today
in the brains of men in a rudimentary
form, for in the pineal gland we find
the last vestages of that which was
once third eye and which looked out
into the world, if not from the center
of the forehead. at least from very
near that point. There is alive today
a little creature which would put to
shame the one eyed arrogance and
pride of Polyphemus and Ages and
Brontes and Steropes and all the rest
of the single eyed gentry who, in-the
days of myths and myth makers, in
habited the fair Sicilian ISLE
The animal in question is small
lizard called Calotis. Its we'll develop
ed third eye is situated on the top of
its head and can be easily seen
through the modified and transparent
scale which serves it as a cornea
Many other laceratilians have this
third eye, though it is not so highly
organized as it is in the species just
mentioned.
A tree lizard which is to be found in
the mountains of east Tennessee and
Kentucky has it's third eye we'll de-
veloped. This little animal is called
the singing scorpin" by the noun
taineers. On dissection the third eye
will be found lying beneath the skin.
