CHARGE THAT CLERKS
REFUSE TO PAY DEBTS
President Wilson Advised of
Alleged Abuse of Credit
in Departments.

President Wilson and his cabinet are to
be asked TO assist in the elimination of
the existing abuses of credit by govern
ment employees. as the result of a de-
cision reached last night by the Retail
Merchants Association.
Within the next day or SO letter is to
be sent to President Wilson calling his
attention to the fact that a large num-
Der of government employees are indebt
ed to the merchants of Washington and
that while many are in a position to meet
their obligations. they refuse to do SO.
The President will be asked to instruct
the secretaries OF the various departments
to provide means by which merchants
having bills against government CLERKS
may have an opportunity to present their
claims.

it was not because he was afraid of COM

Pitching was a strong poin; OF the new

put into effect in a number of city schools
this year. In 81. Louis printed slips were
sent home to the parents giving the list
of work done in the home for which
credits would be allowed In the school If
certified to by the parents. This move
ment is especially helpful in making do
nestle science work practical to the girls.
The girl who knows that she is credited
for fifteen minutes of work upon her
school averages each time she washes
the breakfast dishes is much more willing
To help her mother in this way. The
practice she receives is quite as helpful
to her as if she did this work in the
domestic science classroom. Preparing a
meal may entitle her TO thirty minutes
or even TO an hours credit.
In one city the girls are excused from
attending the domestic science class for
a month during which time they attend
to some specific work in their own homes.
The mothers cooperate with the teacher
in assigning definite tasks, such as keeping
the bathroom hygienically clean. taking
care of a certain room or attending to
a certain part OF the food preparation. A

system of school credits for home work
