The Advantages of Student
Control.

Student control is a method of
governing the student body, that
is being instituted in the majority
of the schools of the nation. 1t is,
as yet, in the experimental stage,
but it is becoming so effective
that it will soon be installed in all
the modern schools. Instead of
the faculty controlling the stu
dents, the students control them
selves with the aid of one teacher
who acts merely as faculty ad-
visor. The student council is
elected by the entire school and it
is through this body that school is
controlled. This council acts as
the governing body. 1t regulates
the laws of the school, retains or
der in the halls by means of mon
itors, and controls the social
events Of the school. This council
is also means Of approaching the
faculty on a problem. The stu
dents consult the members of the
council, and they, in turn, place
the matter before the faculty. This
not only creates schol spiorit, but
also it places feeling of respon-
sibility on the pupil, and causes
him to realize that he, not the
teacher, must further the schools
progress.

to the first trick. 1t is an actual
fact that the most important trick,
by far, is the first.
The opening lead often decides
the fate of many hands. Whether
to finesse or not on the first trick
determines the final result on many
others.
NIOkIHS opening lead against a
IN six spade contract was the
four of diamonds. Should the de-
clarer allow the trick to ride around
to his queen?
Why not reason the lead in this
manner? Very few good players will
lead from a king, especially against
a slam contract. Therefore, South is
practically marked with the king of
diamonds. To play a low diamond
from dummy spells certain defeat
to the contract.
South will cash his king of dia-
monds and then the ace Of clubs.
You should say to yourself, III look
around for some other possible way
to make the contract.
There is a chance, if the hearts
are divided three three. That will
establish two good hearts on which
the two clubs can be discarded, and
so only one diamond trick would be
lost"
AS this is the only possible
chance you have to make the con-
tract, you must not take the
fnesse, but go right up with the ace
of diamonds. The hearts. of course,
are divided three-three.
Therefore, after the two trumps
are picked up from each opponent,
and the two clubs are discarded on
the two good hearts, you can con-
cede a diamond trick.
This is the trick you would have
lost anyway, had you taken the
hneSSe on the first trick, but losing
it now is TO your advantage instead
of TO your opponents.

MAN STILL SOUGHT |

Father of Quartet Found

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, March 19.-John Nc
Hale, object of an intensive man
hunt after the Staying OF his four
small daughters, was still at large
today as police broadcast his de-
scription to five States.
The four children - their heads
crushed by a hammer-were found
by their mother when she returned
to their Bronx home after being
away Is minutes to buy milk.
Between hysterical sobs, she told
police her husband had left their
home in anger after a quarrel Sat-
urday night. A neighbor said he
saw McHale run hatless from the
house a short time before the mother
returned.
She found one child, Helen, 4
years old, dead, but until late yes
terday believed the other three, Anna,
6; Margaret, 5, and Agnes, ID months
old, were still alive in the hospital
where they were taken. When she
was told they were all dead. she
collapsed and was unable to go to
the morgue to identify them as re-
quired by law.
McHale, a 31-year-old c. W. A.
worker, was sought in all parts of
the Bronx. Hospitals, morgue and
the waterfront we're watched on the
theory he might commit suicide.
Police learned McHale was deeply
religious and kept close eye on
churches in the vicinity. His de-
scription was broadcast by teletype
to New York and four nearby States.
Deputy Chief Inspector Henry
Bruckman, in charge of Bronx de-
tectives, called the Staying the "act
of a demented man" He said Nc
Hale had been under observation in
