PRAISE OF ACTIVITIES
FOR CHILD WELFARE
Supt. Thurston of Public Schools
Addresses Association at Con-
gress Heights.

Z. l. Thurston. superintendent of
schools. delivered an address last night
before the members of the Child Wei
fare Association of Congress Heights,
in the assembly hall of the school in
that suburb. His address contained
many suggestions to both the parents
and the teachers and enlightened them
on many subjects of which heretofore
they had known but little. He spoke
OF the value of the child welfare asso-
Citations throughout the District; the
necessity of regular attendance on the
part of the pupils at every session OF
school; the value of home study. call
ing special attention to the methods
adopted by some families, which he
considered the best, whereby certain
time was set aside each day for the
study of the lessons at home, and also
dwelt upon the harm done in the vari-
Gus classes by the teacher being inter
rupted during the school hours. He
strongly advocated the visiting of the
schools BY the parents. but said that
when so doing they should not inter
fere with the lesson periods. Differ
ences he said. should be settled after
school hours, when the teacher could
give her whole time to the conference.
and should be settled when the pupil
concerned was not present.
He said that it only did harm TO the
pupil to have it present when a con-
ference was being held to settle a dis
pute.

TO BE CONTINUED NEXT ISSUE.
Beef in Panama.

The beef consumed in the Panama Canal Zone is to be from cattle slaugh tered there, instead of dressed beef from the United States. It has been ascertained that saving of from 10 to 20 per cent can thus be made.
 The Canal supply department has already begun killing local cattle, in order to test the quality of meat ob- tainable, and it has further arranged to purchase cattle in other parts of Central America, and even South America, and bring them to the isthmus for final fattening and slaughter.
 A cattle buyer, assigned to visit the neighboring countries. will have his purchases brought to the Canal and inspected by veterinary sur geon to prevent the introduction Of diseased cattle. The latter official is already on his way to the isthmus.
