HOW TO DEAL WITH IRREGULAR
PUPILS AS REGARD TO CLASS
STANDING AND SCHOLAR
~ 81 SIZE. : -.
BY Mrs Mamie P.l Porter.


This is the day OF the child and
the school, 80 The whole world is
thinking about the child. In these days
n can hardly glance over a daily
paper without seeing some reference
in.the general topics as to what the
school is doing for the child, what
the school has done for the child and
what the school is going to do for
the child. We have now come to
realize that irregular attendance
binders advancement in the child.
There are many preyentable causes
that make pupils attend school irreg.
ular. AN ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure" So let us
first consired the ounce OF. prevention,
Throughout the rural districts OF
Middle Tennessee we find a lamen.
table indifference on the part of par.
ents in sending their children to
school.
Father, mother, teacher all must
do their part to keep children from
being irregular; all must work in har
mony for future success. Many
times a mother failing to see the
detriment of absence, will keep a
child at home for a small task that
could easily be performed after school,
hours.
So our first effort should be made
on the mother, for we know that
mothers love will find a way if we
can but convince her of the value fC
each days lesson. 1t has been truly
said. that, THE hand that rocks the
cradle rules the world" And so VIZ
cannot measure the love of a mother
She will make any sacrifice if SHE
really understands that by keeping
the child out of schol she hinder.

might give a little judicious praise
such as saying, 'Your child woulC
excel if he came to school ~regularl,
and it would lessen absence, in min,
times out of ten, for pride would urg,
the mother on to see that he did at
tend school each day. In the lon,
ago it was said, "a little child shall
lead them"
Is it not true to-day that the Low.
of a child rules in the home?
One thing that binders us in pre-
venting absences is, that too oftel
the teacher shows little interest il
the home life of the pupil.
The cooperation between home an.
school Is n of the pressing prof.

Many children could be kept in schoc

TIPS ON COOKING CEREALS

found for sale nowadays. Yet many
housekeepers prefer It. and when they

BILE required to prepare It. To cook
1t use a scant quart Of water to every
heaping cupfuf of the cereal. Salt It
and boil 1t two hours the day before
serving Then turn 1t into double
boiler and let 1t cook slowly all night
In the morning bring 1t forward ana

Serve Immediately while hot. Some
palates prefer a thicker cruel. in
which case only three cupfpls OF water

should be seen more often on the Ia
bles Of today. Like old-fashioned oat-
meal 1t requires long cooking. It 10
very nice for Sunday suppers or as q
starchy vegetable in place Of rice or
potatoes for dinner. Soak In water
two cupfuls of samp all night In the
morning wash thoroughly Cover with

Grease a very hot frying pan and

NEGROES SCARED By BABY
cies End Of World In Novem.
Der, Then Dies.

Thomasville.. Ga.-According to re-
ports received here the negroes
around Pelham. over 1t Mitchell coun-
ty, are much stirred up over an infant
phenomenon which. 1t is said. spoke
when only few hours old. and
among other things predicted the end
OF the world.
Several negroes here have received
letters from friends in Pelham telling
OF this child. which, they affirm. turn
ed and spoke to its mother when 1t
had ben born only eight hours. The
child. so the story goes, told its moth
er that 1t would die in two hours and
she would die in four hours and the
world would come to an end in six
months. Mother and child are both
said to have departed this life on
schedule time. and now the colored
population have no doubt whatever
that the remainder of the prophecy
will be fulfilled.
Another portion of the prophecy
which the child Is alleged to have ut
tered and which showed that it pos.
sessed voice Of wisdom was that It
would rain "on and on" until the end
of the world. AS the showers in this
section have undoubtedly been of that
character Of late and are liable to
continue so. there is no difficulty in
rectifying the truth Of the utterance,
which Is OF course held up az q con-
drmation Of the whole matter.
