The Habit of Respecting Prcpeiiy Rights.
By ZAHRAH E. PREBLE.
Alter 10 ytfirs or more of working
with .children from kindergarten to
nigh School ages. In the school room,
on .play grounds, and ai sunmior
camps, the most prominent problem
w.th which 1 had to deal wa.-, that of
I'ROBERTY RrtSHTS.
.Not one child in 2.'> has a ugii
ha lanced attitu 1 * ct nun I .» ,aru th<
property of others. Most children
will dig lit to pr.itoct their o \ e. prop
erty, 'but are Absolutely innii'rcrenl,
if not criminally careless, with the
property of others. And the occa
sion;!] child will bo wantonly destruc
tive. But it Is usually an intense
carelessness (Hie to lack of training
which is to blame for this condition.
Public property—libraries, school
buildings, play grounds and fences,
and materials used in public class
work-are deliberately c carelessly
or thoughtlessly destroy; I, defaced,
or 'mutilated every day, all over the
land, by every class of children.
Children will scrawl words and
drawings with chalk upon .public
walks and walls, and also upon pri
vate houses, and go unreproved.
\Vbat is at the bottom of this uni
versal Indifference to the use anl
abuse of property not distinctly
' Aline?” Is it entirely the fault of
the children? After a rather ; areful
study of sources, 1 would say, ‘ Put
ft up 1o the parents.”
Do parents instill Into young minds
under their charge that the personal
property of each one in the family is
sacred and not to be used without
express permission, unless it is com
munity family property?
How often, for example, does Moth
er forget that bah.v Katherine lias
her property rights in the bits of
scrawled paper which Mother con
signs to the waste basket without
consulting Katherine first? How
often does Pat her kick, down the
carefully constructed pile of blocks,

HOUSINGSPAGE
IS AT PREMIUM
TUillUNr, April 28—Housitm c >
ditwtis are so difficult in Uorlln that
comparatively few families are able
ro retain an entire house, or even an
enitiiro apartment for themselves.
Every section of the city has its
housing committee, which makes con
stant inspections and checks up the
space in all ibuiluthgs.
Consequently persons having
houses larger than tip' size of their
family justifies under the housing
regulations are always seeking lodg
ors. in case the -householder does
not find ills own lodgers, persons will
bo senit by the housing committees.
Under the present .financial strin
gency in Germany tenants wilt) -will
ptry well, especially if they will pay
in foreign currency, are not unwel
come in many palatial homes.
Bo* the aibilit of foreigners to ac
quire accomtnodat ions of a superior
class has can- > l much criticism
/ among Germans, and members of the
housing committees are constantly
under fire. While some persona ap

And how Violotil Father would be

Tiie real trouble is that from the
start parents do not respect the pre
cions little belongings of childhood
and sot a mighty bad example ol
ignoring .property rights In the hear!
of the household. It is not the. vain?
of the tilings destroyed or mutilated

Grant Bill Passes
iAs isoon ns it, had disposed of the
Price bill, the House took up con
sideration of the Grant (bill, which is
a more ambitious 'measure than the
former. it establishes an Alaska
Fish Commission, provides for a com
plete organization, empowers it to
regulate the fisheries, eliminates ail
Chips in small bays ami estuaries,
■jand for removal of ‘both fixed and
. | movable appliances operating else

, er.v. Both bills were sent to the
. Senate yesterday.
Kill Political Bill
, Senator Hunt's bill to make party
, nominees cx-officio national commit
r teemen and to elect divisional com
t mittoemen was handled without
gloves by the House, and after he
ir J ing amended to eliminate the first
' i provision, was killed. Price and
I Daly led the original a ttack on the
_j measure. Tho former pointed out
I j that it did not 'take iuto consideration
,; the tact, that tho Democratic party is
,! allowed two national committeemen
from Alaska; that naming by the
people of mmnliens to the national
■ committees is no more than an
amendment, as these committees ap
. point their own memibers. He de
li dared for many reasons the bill was
. I unworkable.
,1 Mr. Daly, commenting on the propo
sition to make the nominees for dele
gate national committeemen, declared
it was the most absurd proposal lie
| liad ever read, and wan neither work
' able nor proper. He said ho favored
; the election of divisional comniittee
"imon. Mr. Pouter declared that the
1 Delegate to Congress was more than
*11110 leader of the Republican party.
1 lie was the representative) of all Al
" a skins regardless of party and that
' to attempt to chiango his status was
to .make a. hotbed of politics out of a
public office. He declared that such
a change would be unwelcome to the
1 present Delegate, quoting the latter
1 a.) saying two years ago that he w '
not concerned about political patron
ago which was up to the National
1 Committeeman.
Daly Amendment Passes
■- Mr. Daly offered an amendment
; Striking the first provision. This
was carried by a vote of 8 (o 7, Mr.
. j Hoss being absent. With Mr. Price
| in tile chair. Speaker Cole look the
; floor and led a fight to further dis
figure the measure, which he declared
had been robbed of all Its virtue
when the Daly amendment was adopt
ed. Ho offered an amendment to
strike ithe enacting clause, which was
overwhelmingly defeated. Mr. Foster
then moved (for indefinite postpone
ment, which carried 9 to 7.

IN NAMING ENGLISH BISHOPS
LONDON, April 28. — Tlie ap
pointment of bishops in the Church
of England, which is the preroga
tive of the Prime Minister, 1ms
again been attacked by members of
tho Church.
The question was brought before
a committee of the recent National i
Assembly of the Church but no ac-l
tlon was taken, all hough a large |
section of tho “low” Chupeli mem
bers urged that tho matter be|
brought before the main body of
tho assembly. •
The matter was again before the
public at the recent convocation ol'
the lxnver House of York, when a
motion was made that the Churchi
should havo direct voice in the ap
