INSURANCE AGAINST FAILURE

novelty in the way of insurance has appeared in
the law school of Kansas University. Students are
said to be taking out failure policies students pays
small monthly premium throughout his course, and
then if he fails to get his degree he draws compensa
ton to the extent of $3.50. There is similar compensa
tion for failure to pass the state bar examination.
This sounds if it thought up by some
student with clever business head Is that insurance
company a purely undergraduate institution? If it
is it looks like promising young institution with
opportunity for growth.
Suppose the idea were extended to cover education
generally Surely little Johnny and Susie would be
satisfied to pay penny premiums out of their small al
lowances for similar insurance against flunking at
the end Of the year the school course. And why
confne it to schools? Why not insure business men
against failure in ventures?

DRY LAW FOR FOREIGN SHIPS

The United States Treasury Department. acting
through the Internal Revenue Commissioner, has for
bidden all foreign vessels bring liquor for beverage
purposes within the three-nile limit. This order ap-
plies even to the ships of foreign countries whose law
requires them to carry and issue regular allowances of
wine for their crews.
The order will naturally make more trouble with
foreign governments, which resent such action
unwarranted interference with their rights. There
may be unpleasant retaliations on American shipping
in foreign ports. The Treasury Department. how
ever does not how it do otherwise, in view of
the recent ruling of the United States Supreme Court.
The new regulation appears to be an nterpreta-
ton of the Vostead enforcement act rather than of the
basic prohibition amendment. If So it is subject to
change at any time by congress. 1t is technical
rather than reasonable requirement, regards ships
carrying such liquor in good faith for their use,
without any intent to smuggle otherwise interfere
with domestic prohibition in this country. Congress
might well the difficulty at its earliest oppor-
tunity.

THE CHILD'S SIX AGES

According to DR.. Bird T. Baldwin, specialist in
child psychology, child has six ages at the time.
They his age in years his physical age,
ed by his growth; his mental age his school age
ing his grade his social age indicated by his qualities
for leadership and cooperation; and his moral age,
evidenced in his conduct. normal child, thus
measured is in whom the last five of these ages
nicely balanced and are developing to the maximum
This classification is probably not yet perfect but
it represents advance in considering the childs full
development instead of working with only or two
phases of it. Considered from the standpoint of the
six ages there probably fewer genuinely precocous
children, and also fewer downright backward ones
than people have supposed A child ahead in one or
two Of these ages is frequently behind in Others and
vice versa.
The useful thing about the classification is that
it observes that fact and should make is possible
give the child of unbalanced ages the of apd
education he needs 1t WILL in time eliminate the
folly of pushing the bright child ahead to the detr
ment of his physical and social well-being and of
demning as utterly stupid the child backward in
line but capable and we'll developed in others.

10 per cent, wheras the standard is
Is per cent, Mr.. Hagrigan advises.
While it is not expected that all

The prospects for an early season arc

who anticipate top notch prices for
delivery in the early markets.
Mr.. Harrigan estimates that the
grape crop this year will amount
to 2J0 or 800 carloads.
