Washington, Aug. 30-So far as the
State department is concerned, for
NAL presentations Of the Arabic case
to Germany awaits receipt from Am
basador Gerard Of the German admi

said that the report might be delayed

operating South Of Ireland.
Count Bernstroff, the German am.
basador, will leave Washington TO
morrow for New York to await the in
structions from his government which
he believes. will bring a satisfactory
and speedy conclusion to the entire
controversy over submarine warfare.
Unless the situation in Berlin Who'll

with Secretary Lansing to the. end tina;
a note may be framed by German,
entirely satisfactory to the United

Until the admiralty statement is re.

cussion of a broader question of sub
marine warfare will be reopened.
In German circles it is firmly be

encourage AN informal exchange OF
views between Count Bernstorff and

1t was stated positively today that

So far as can be gathered from the

in the war areas. 1t appears, however,
that Germany is weakening somewhat.

U. s. LEADS WORLD;IN VALUE OF
TRADE
For First Time in History Exports Ex-
eeed Great Britain's BY Hall
Billion

Washington, August 2.-The bll-
liondollar trade balance in favor OF the
United States was not the enly remark
able thing about foreign commerce OF
this nation In the last year. Fer the
first time in history, the export trade OF
Great Britain was surpassed In volume
and value, and the United States be-
came the greatest commercial country
In the world. American exports ex-
ceed those Of Great Britain in value by
over half a billion dollars. The ex-
ports of manufacturers from this coun-
try amounted to s1,166,OOO,OOo. Food
stuffs added to the grand total which
was $1,76S, 100000. In manufactures
Great Britain still led the value OF
American fcodstuffs getting the credit
of making our total exports greater
than those of Great Britain.
One cause of the advance OF this
country over Great Britain is tie
falling off Of English commerce due
to the war. The total exports OF the
United States in the fiscial year ending
June 80, 1915, according to the compu-
Itation Of the Bureau Of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce were $2,716, 100000
as against, s., 10, 1000 for the United
Kingdom. This was an increase OF II
per cent. for the United States and
decrease Of 80 per cent. for the Uni
ted kingdom, as compared with the pre-
vious year. American exports in the
fiscal year 1915 included domestic pro-
ducts to the value of $2,716, 200, 600.

clear and definite, and the amount of
work given should not be so great as
to tax the child's power to perform it
in the given time.
Her watchful eye must see that each
child puts forth his best effort, and no
effort of his should be allowed to 90
unexamined by the teacher. His work
should be compared from time to time
with his own previous work, not with
that of another child. The child may
make booklets in which to keep his
best work. This keeping of work will
prove an incentice to him to do work
worth keeping. Parents, too, can
then see what is really being done by
their children.
The materials used for seat work, in
the main, need not be expensive. Free
material: Empty spools, tooth picks.
and pegs can be used for counting
Plain and colored wrapping paper
can be ironed out and cut into pieces
of uniform size. Cardboard from the
backs of tablets and from boxes are
useful in making number cards, domi-
no cards, and for mounts for large CO.
lendar figures, or for phonograms.
Shelled corn can be kept in small
bags hung at the side of each pupils
desk for laying words traced on pa
per, or to put around cardboard pat
terms. Spool boxes will hold letters
or number cards. Colored cord, twine.
narrow ribbons from candy boxes and
the like should be cut into different
lengths and used for sorting accord
ing to color, length, or a certain num-
Der placed in each pile. Tooth picks,
pegs, skewers, and corn can be used
for making designs and borders.
Pressed leaves and flowers can be U.S.
ed for drawing or tracing or for MAX
ing booklets. Save large print adj
vertisements from newspapers. Save
pictures for different seasons, for hol-
idays, for nature study, for language.
Mount some on cardboard, and cut
them into puzzle pictures to be put
together by children. Keep the pieces
in large envelopes. In this work do
not cut the pieces small, and do not
use small pictures. Many magazines
have beautiful pictures portraying

The problem of suitable and profit
able occupation for children While not
reciting, is very important in the pri'
mary grades,
With we'll directed and supervised
seat work, the child develops the
power to see and to do, he Is strength
ened in right habits; he gains addi-
tional knowledge; the facts of the les
son become more firmly fixed in his
mind, and the question of discipline is
solved for the teacher.
A childs nature demands that he be
kept busy, and every primary teacher
knows we'll that Satan (usually) finds
some work for him to do" if she has
not had the fore thought to provide
an occupation which tells for the good
of the child and the good of the school.
If left to himself he will keep him.
self busy along lines which are not
helpful, or he will become listless,
uninterested, or stupid.
AS for the teacher, she may expect
her whole day to go wrong, and need
not look for growth nor good results in
either work or Discipline.
She need not wonder that she is
worn and tired after the day is closed
and she may expect very soon to dis
like teaching and children.
Seat work is a test of the knowledge
and skill of the pupil. 1t opens up
new thought. 1t must be enjoyable to
hold interest and attention.
To make it enjoyable, it must be
planned Systematically in regard to its
purpose and results, and it must be
within the child's ability to perform
neither too easy nor beyond his
grasp. 1t must have, to the child,
some definite purpose; it must be
closely associated with other work
and interests of the school; it must be
varied; and it should give room for
freedom of thought and action on the
part of the child.
The successful teacher appreciates
the value of seat occupation, and is
willing to give some time out Of
school hours to collecting and perpar-
ing material for the work. She must
make out and plan as careful sched-
ule for the seat wark as she does for
the recitation. She plans it as a help
to the work of the day. 1t may be a
drill or review of something done, or
it may lead up to something she wish"
es to teach.
The directions she gives must be

the aid of the children.
