ANYWHERE SOUGHT IT. BUT MAINLY.

The suggestion that the Olympic competition be held in Rome in 1920 eliminates fur. her talk of the meet coming to .ris country. Athletic authorities in the United States have been nego otiah0g for the important carnival since the clouds of war first disappeared h their efforts to bring the Olympic meet here. however, American officials have been baked oy depressing financial conditions ex- tsung i1 Europe. From the start of the American negotiations this draw back has been encountered, militat- inE against q removal of the games to this country for the reason that European countries were not in a position to assume the expense of sending representative to such an important meet.
 Baron de Coubertin's specific men tion of Antwerp is accounted for by the fact that Belgium has been among the applicants for the classic, Immediately after the last meet held in Stockholm in 1912, officials e z Bel Gi-n put in a. bid for the meet in 1920. inasmuCh as the Olyrnpiad scheduled for 1916 had been award ,d Io Berlin. The war halted the plans for Berlin and caused an abandonment of the great meet. Bel sium's application. however, remain d as originally made. There never was any definite indication that the classic would go to Antwerp, all though the application was never of hcially dismissed. It is thought that Antwerp is In no condition to as sure the responsibilities of such an important attraction at this time.
 The Baron is now in Lucerne, Switzerland, where ne has lived the zreater part of tn, time during the var. The French noblenan is in close communication with athletic conditions througnout the world. It is accepted therefore. that in making his decision to award the meet 10 Italy the International Olympiad q Committee leader Gt1 do with the knowledge of conditions there.

Cambridge, Mass. March 6- The Harvard Student Council. representing the undergraduate body at Harvard University, adopted resolutions last night favoring a revival of peace-time football and expressing opposition to any code of rules between Harvard, Yale and Princeton which might bring criticism from other colleges. The resolutions state that:
 Whereas. any code of rules between Harvard, Yale and Princeton would tend to give an erroneous impression of the ex- 1EteEce of an exclusive trtumvir- ate and is contrary to uadergrad- uate opinion. ic is believed ex- treneIy unwise to cnte. into any additional NmitluE agreemeut. except such eligibility rules as may from time to time appear necessary"

KINDERGARTEN HELPS
FOR THE PARENTS

This is No. l of the third series Of
articles issued by the National Kinder
garten Association, 8 w. 10th st.,
New York City. They are appearing
weekly in these columns.
BY Bertha Johnston
"The greater man, the greater cour
tesy."
In every home opportunities should
be made for the little children to prac-
tice consideration and care for some
thing weaker than themselves. The
cherishing instinct, both in the ind;-
invidual and the family, needs cult
walton and direction. It is nantes
ted in the love Of little girls for their
dolls and in the devotion Of boys to
their pets. If this quality of nur-
ture, is not exercised or properly d.
rected, it withers; for affections must
be exercised if they are to develop.
We often see spoiled children in Am
erican families, where all their desir-
es are gratified without effort on their
W part and they are given no op-
portunity to serve. Many a mother
virtually makes a slave of herself
for her children, humoring every
whim, and relieving them of all care,
trouble and responsibility, only to
find when they r grown that they
are utterly selfish and inconsiderate.
Unfortunate, too, is the only child
or the youngest member of the fam.
lily, who is overindulged, with no more
dependent member of the household
to call forth his tender feelings. Here
in lies M great value Of the kinder.

garten, where children are given OPP
portunities to help those younger than
themselves.
For the child without companions
in the home, the parent should pro-
vide occasions that require service or
sacrifice for others. Arrange to have
his friends come frequently to play
with your little one, and share his
toys, suggesting that the little guests
must have the best.
Adaptibility is gained through com
partnership with ones equals. From
association with boys, little girls learn
something Of fair play, and become
acquainted with the sturdier virtues;
while, from girls, the boys learn to
have a chivalrous attitude toward wo-
mankind.
The instinct of nurture is developed
through the carr Of a garden or pets.
for a child must exercise thought and
put it into practice, in order to OBJ
tain results. Then, too, generosity
and respect are stimulated by shar-
ing the fruits of his care, a little
bouquet for mother, a head of lettuce
for a neighbor, an extra kitten for a
playmate.
If pets have young, the child's mo-
Their should call attention to the care
Of the mother and for her little ones,
and her courage and self-sac1ifice
whenever the young are endangered.
A child should be taught to take en-
tire charge Of his pets, to weed and
care for his garden, if he is to re-
ceive the full benefit in characterize
velopment and achieve the self-res.

as are good morals, and parents
should be examples Of both to their
children. How often virtuous people
make us unhappy by their lack Of
tact! Courtesy and gr~aciousness
smooth out the rough places Of life.
A tiny boy Of 8 q raise his hat and
one Of s can rise at table and push
mothers chair into place. When old
er people enter . room, children
should rise; in fact, they should be
taught to practice all the little daily
civilities. But courteous manners are
taught slowly "for precept must be
upon precept, precept upon precept;
line upon line, line upon line; here q
little aud there a little" Many a man
Of good character has greatly limited
his usefulness by his lack of polish
because his mother, either from stu
pidity or over-indulgence, neglected
his social training!
At this momentous time, it is es.
pecially important that all NEAR pos.
sible be employed to foster the in.
stinct Of caring for the weak and de.
pendent.
It would be well If more children
were made to feel responsible 70,
some child of less favored circum.
stances. It is astonishing how boys
and girls will rise to the occasion
when responsibility is placed upor
them. In 1918 my 11-year-old niece
who lived in London, had a "godchild'
