Break Child
Of Habit of
Cheating
Bringing Fault Out
Into Open Is Best
Control Method
Br Letfice Lee Street,

The fourth grade classroom was
very quiet as 30 small heads bent
in serious concentration and 80 pen
cils struggled with the sums In an
arithmetic test. One little girl, mid
way of the room, glanced surrep-
titiously down to her lap from time
to time. She was obviously Ill at
ease and very tense. She held a
crumpled piece of paper in her hot
and nervous little hand. hidden I'M
der the folds of her pinafore. The
paper,w was a leaf torn from school
book. and on it was printed the
"seven-timeS" table.
Well, you know by now, this little
lass was cheating.
Cheating. That is hard word: 1t
seems especially harsh when speak
ing of a child. Yet many children
are guilty of this practice, and no
other word can be used, for that IS
exactly what 1t is. This harmful act
NAV easily become fixed habit that
can endanger a child all Of his life.
Its control is question OF diligence,
observation and of immediate action
on the part Of parents and teachers
who discover it.
AS much as We wish to believe
it, children do not seem to be nat
urally honest in such matters die
tated by civilization. They may be
kind-hearted and show a natural
bigness of character in other ways,
but honesty, where stealing, lying
cheating are concerned. must be
| taught.
There are many forms OF cheat
ing and deceit. A child might cheat
in school work and not in play, or
the other way around. Nor is this
faulty practice true only OF little
ones. It seems to become worse as
| children grow older.
A child of school age knows per-
tectly we'll that he should not cheat
He may do it for the fun and ex-
element of putting it over on" his
i mother or teacher. or because he
feels driven to equal the marks OF
/ the other students or finds his school
work too difficult or his ability to
excel at games inferior to his play
! mates.
| Teachers who lay undue stress
upon marks, who scold when marks
are not up to the standard Of the
school, and who are forever giving
their pupils examinations, are en-
| couragaing their students to cheat
The wise teacher is the one who
emphasizes the child's effort more
than his marks.
Parents and teachers NAV mark
edly discourage this dishonesty in
children If they will not allow the
child to believe he is hiding his de-
ceit. His misdeed should be brought
into the open at once.
When child is discovered cheat
ing. it is Of little avail to scold him
harshly and to punish him. A more
effective way to deal with the sit
uation is to make him see without
any doubt that you know all about
his cheating, and that you will not
tolerate it. Mother, father or teacher
may discuss with the child how he
can do good work and excel In
games without cheating.
The pleasure in cheating is in no,
being caught. When a child knows
that his act will be discovered he
Is not apt to try 1t again, particu-
larly If he realizes that he gains
nothing by his attempt.

 The hotel phone was in a little writing room off the lobby and when I hung up after talking to Oficer John Antler in as coherent 8 way as I could, with my teeth chattering and my knees going wobbly, Chris Gordon was stand ing in the doorway. I suppose the two of us must have had fear written across our white faces, be- cause he looked and then spoke.
 Anything can do for you-2"
 Jeanie started to cry and I said, "Yes, get us some hot coffee. We're about at the end of our strength. Liza Holmes is up there at the house-dead--"
 He opened his mouth like a fish, and took out his handker- chief to mop his head. He didn't ask any questions, but turned and went away. The coffee came be- fore Officer Antler arrived, but he made good time. Dr. Orway was with him.

 "She thought a lot of Miss Mil- lie," he said. That's probably what preyed on her mind. Well, we'll go on over. You girls won't mind waiting downstairs, will you? You won't have to come up with us"
 Jeanie said she was all right now, ad so we got in their car and went back to the house. We sat there in the kitchen and Jeanie got some milk for big yellow cat that came meowing at the door.

There was a window open so that

 lt still had a faint suggestion oi camphor, and mothballs, and dried herbs. ! could see strings of herbs hanging from rafter and as my eyes got used to the darkness could see funny old trunks sitting around and furniture that made my mouth water with envy.
 stood batting an old spool day. bed that was piled high with com Eorters, and back under the caves was 6 walnut chest with darling drawer pulls. I was still feastinG my eyes and roaming around, for ! knew this was @ real treasure house. A little footstool was lying on It's side 6 few feet farther back and ! moved over toward 1t when ! amed out a white object back sn the gloom.
 Well, why go into details2 It was horrible enough. That white object was poor Liza Holmes, hanging from one of the rafters. She still wore her high-necked, long-sleeved house dress and her white apron, and her poor head hung slightly to one side above the cord.
 I think I moaned, but Jeanie, who was sitting on a trunk in the center of the attic, probably thought I was just going into more ecstacies because she said some thing about being glad I had found something I could enjoy up there.
 Sacked up slowly, nearly fall ing ever the footstool. What she saw in my face froze her. She started to get up. but slumped down again with terror of the unknown dawning in her own
 "Just come out of here," in- sisted. "Right away, and don't look."
 We got downstairs and into her room.
 "0et dressed, Jeanie, and I'll tell you about 1t after we get out of here"
 NFy one desire was to get as far away from that house as could. She was too terrified to argue, becaue by then she had begun to suspect I had found something horrible. It wasn't until we were walking down the road to the Inn that I managed to describe 1t, and the way she wilted I won- dered if we'd ever make our des- tination.
 But suicide" she kept repeat mg. "Why should she hang her. self, Mary? Why? Was 1t be. cause she missed Aunt Millie 50 much? Still, Liza wouldn't forget me. She couldn't just leave me alone"
 Maybe your aunt's death did something to her mind" sug- Rested. They'd been together for . long time. They were both women who never made many friends easily; never talked much. Their lives were pretty cut and dried"
 T can't understand it., Aunt Asillie left her money, you know. And Liza-well, she never talked much, but she did mention some things she was going to do with her money. She was going to have 6 new black dress made. And a new hat. And she asked me to subscribe to garden magazine and 6 little missionary paper she used to read.
 "She told me that by the next time went to town she'd have a list of things made out for me tO buy: things she was going to send to her niece's little girl. She liked to sew for her and she was going to make some school dresses, She wasn't thinking Of dying, Mary. I know she wasn'tl"
 What we both were thinking, but mt saying, was that this might be murder and not suicide. A third murder that was too much to put into words.
