little hope of their ever making up
their work. The time for parents to
take an interest in the home study of
their children in high school is the
day they enter high school and not
month or day after they have begun
failing.
Home is a pretty good place for
high school boy or girl between s
o'clock p. m. and o'clock a. M,
especially on Monday, Tuesday, We'd
nesday and Thursday. when school is
in session. If more of our boys and
girls we're in their homes at these
times and had regular hours for
study, we would have fewer failures
in school, larger graduating classes,
fewer parents with heartaches over
the wrongdoings of their children, and
a better community in which to live.
The work in the high school is very
diffrent from that in the grades The
fact that a child has gone through the
grades and has had standings of 90
per cent or over without studying at
home is no evidence that he can do
high school work without home study,
nor is it evidence that he can do good
high school work by studying at home.
A grade child studies arithmetic from
five to eight years. A high school stu
dent is expected to master as much in
quantity of algebra, all of which is
new, in from thirty-six to thirty
eight weeks. If the high school stu
dent is to do high school work sue
cessfully, it is absolutely necessary
that he change his manner of living
and devote more time to study. Since
there are not hours enough in the
school day to do all of the studying
necessary, the high school student
must study at home and study every
day regularly and persstently or he
must fail There is no other way for
the average student. Parents may be
reasonably certain that il their chill
Gren are not studying regularly from
two to three hours day at home, at
least five days of the week, that they
are not keeping up all of their high
school work and that sooner or later
the parents will find IL out.

FREIGHT IS MOVING
OVER B. & o.;
TEST THE NEW LAW
TRAiNMEN ARE RUSHING THEIR
TRAINS WITH USUAL REGu~
LARITY AND SPEED
ANNOUNCED EMBARGOES HAD
HELD UP TRAFFIC DURING
RAILWAYS DISPUTE
SEEMS SETTLED THAT THE RAIL
ROADS WILL TEST NEW LAW
IN THE COURTS

The only development in the eight
hour law for the railroad trainmen
is the freedom with which all
freight is moving as a result Of the
lifting of the embargoes by the roads
1t is true that many Of these ember-
goes never actually went into effect,
but nevertheless, it is said, the fact
that they had been issued caused
some shippers to hold back the pack
ing OF their goods and consequence
delay in sending them to the terminals
of the roads from which they were to
be transported.
1t seems settled that the roads will
contest the law in the courts, and
the report is that concerted action
may soon be taken by all the roads to
this end.
However, as the law does not be-
come effective until January 1, it is
quite possible that no steps will be
taken until then. certainly no injunc-
ton proceedings would stand until
the roads attempted to pay out the
Increased wages provided for in the
law.
In the meantime, further compiled
tions may arise, through the provi-
sion of the new law which calls for
a commission to study its workings
for from six to nine months after
January /, and to submit report of
it's findings. Should the commission
report the so called "eight-hour' rule
impracticable and the demand for
time and half overtime pay excess
sive, its report might lead to further
legislation by congress. which would
reopen the whole matter.
Officials OF the four brotherhoods
are fully alive TO the possibility of
such a development. but they decline
to say what would be their next move
in such an event. They have given
their pledge TO suspend all further de
mands until the commissions report
is submitted. and provided the SUI
preme court does not declare the new
law unconstitutional, quiet is assured
in the railroad world until November
4, 1917, according to an official OF
the brotherhoOda.
