Getting = Child to study.

There are some children who need
no incentive to study and who. 81
something in their natures will try To-
do their best at schooland study their
lessons with the same keen zest that
they exhibit at play. These. however.
are comparatively rare. while almost
every parent and certainly every teach
er is familiar with the children who
are always finding an excuse ! to 70
main away from school Or who when
compelled to attend DO not get nigh
marks In their studies. 53s no I
However, In these latter cases It ID
well for parents to devise some plan
besides forcing child to work. One
mother, the parent Of three children,
found this carelessness toward school
work rapidly overcoming her children
and thought out this plan. which 81 her
case has certainly worked wonders:
There were two girls and one boy In
the family, and the mother was most
anxious for them to succeed IN their
school work, for she well knew that IL
10 In the schoolroom that the founda-
lions Of q successful future are laid,
Accordingly she announced that who
ever could show the highest marks at
the end Of the month would receive a
prize. There was no second prize; the
winner in this case took everything,
and so II IA child wanted to ret any
thing at all out Of its months work
tt had to beat both the others But
here was the secret Of her success.
she made the monthly prizes well
worth having. It was no cheap AFFAIR
to be purchased for few pennies, but
It was always something the children
wanted very much, and it always cost;
several dollars. And these children
worked hard. It was partly the value
Of the prize itself and partly the spirit
Of competition that urged them on.

FOREIGNER CAUSES ACTION
All Absent Members Will Be "Docked''
for Every Day They Are Away
Except in the Case of III

The vote ON the resolution was 213

The fact that the war is spreading
and the danger that the United States

back of the insistence OF the leaders
that full attendance be maintained
Mr.. Underwood said that before con-
gress adjournsSit would be necessary
to pass a bill to provide addltlonal
revenue to meet the loss caused Dy
the falling off in imports.
1--WE will probably lose $100,Ooo'ooo
of revenue because the customs reVe-
nues are cut off from Europe" he SAID.
"The country is at stake. For any

The situation is particularly bad at

they have been taken under the pro-
