A CHlLD'S PRAYERS

If the mother would teach her child Co pray. she must first know how to pray herself. Then if she kneels by her childs bed, and in simple words commits her household to the keeping of him who slumbers not nor sleeps. her child will catch something of his mothers spirit and trustfulness. and in time, learning to join with the mother in the words as he has already joined with her in the spirit of reverence and repose, will learn to pray. The mother who has no such experience cannot in spire it in her child, but must leave it to be given by someone better equipped than herself-Lyman Abbott in the Outlook

July 1, For Poughkeepsie Races.
 Ithaca, N Y, Dec. 2O.-When the board or stewards of the intercolle- g1ate rowing association meet to de- eide upon the date of the annual re- gatta at Poughkeepsie, Cornell's rep resentative, Charles E. Treman, will cast his ballot for June r instead of July l. Cornell, in spite of reports that the earlier date would conflict with examinations and was, there fore, not acceptable to the Ithacans favors June 17. It is true that the carsmen will have to go to Pough- keepsie earlier than usual, at a time when final examinations for the sec- ond term are in progress, but faculty members of the committee on student affairs and of the athletic council be- lieve that this problem can be solved by sending a member of the faculty to Highland to conduct the examinations in the training quarters.
 Before deciding to support the earlier date the Cornell authorities consulted Coach Charles E. Courtney who gave his consent. He said that it would mean harder training for the oarsmen, but the date would mean fairer tidal conditions, for which he has always contended.

 MT. O'Rourke said, "The situation is exactly as I have always main tained. The Eastern association has the grip on the situation, and until January IT no other league can touch the situation here. The National as- soc1ation has upheld this stand and the clubs in the Eastern association will organize immediately. As far as I personally am concerned I will do nothing. l have nothing to do with any club, but the circuit committee of the existing Eastern clubs have been formed. These committees will organize clubs. I am confident that the Eastern association will organize before January IT, but if they do not league baseball will be played in Bridgeport and in New England in any circumstances.
