L that their action is quite clear, gtfi-yhundtodoutbom r and get rid of any foreign inâ€" fluence as fast as possible. ‘Gerâ€" many whose trade with China is a real item, senses this and her supâ€" port of Japan is not as outspoken as it was. "In their fighting they are slowly pushing on toward Nanking. When the order comes for final evacuaâ€" tion in a period of three days there were about 90,000 civilians left in Nanking.. At the end of the time, there were only 20,000, the 70,000 having gotten out in some way. ‘Transportation was absolutely inâ€" adequate, and people say the river was crowded with junks and boats Of ~every description going west, Winter also increases the hardships of such mass migrations, and one to indiviual families. Nanking is now stripped for action with 200,000 regular good troops in it and supâ€" ported by about 30 speedy Russian planes in addition to the Chinese. The Japanese say they will have it by January 1, the Chinese say they ean hold out a long time. "After that they threaten to com‘ on up the river laying cities low as they can. I mentioned that they bombed the lovely little city of Sooâ€" chow almost into ruins and last night the nurses and doctors from hospitals there and near by towns arrived in town. There were aboat 40 in that party and I understand another group of eight studentâ€" nurses from the Central hospital of Nanking, who have been in Hankow several days while it was being deâ€" cided what to do with them. With Soochow group were two foreign nurses, and beds .were found for them at Frank Hutchins house. There was great scrambling to find even floor space for the others, and I understand they were put on the floor of the lecture room in the anâ€" atomy building, nurses. home and fourth floor of the hospital. ‘The tentative plan seems to be for these hospitalless staffs to conduct a milâ€" itary hospital, letting the student nurses get the practice in pediatrics, obsterics not obtained in such a hospital, here. One makes plans from day to day, and the motto of Heaven seems tn,bo,"‘lat Not Monâ€" day Know What ‘Tuesday Will Bring Forth‘. "Sunday night, in about the worst night imaginable, a column of about 10,000 Yunnan troops marched into town. Do look on a map. Yunnan, Qwangsi, Keichow and Hunan proâ€" vinces crossed on foot. The way has many mountains and through there is a bus road, the conveyances are far too few to accommodate any group like that. "Milling around on the road in front of the hospital and near the home of one of the doctors, Dr. Chi, were about 40 of these men and their captain.

They were orderly and well behaved and so grateful for the shelâ€" ter. ~In the morning word went around and Dr. Louis Lee had her servant cook a huge piece of meat with bamboo shoots for them. . Her own two servants contributed two large fish prepared with pepper. I wish you could hear Louise tell about taking the things over in her own vivid Chinese. Although comâ€" ing from the extreme southeastern wpart of the country Yunnan speaks a northern Mandarian almost like fi.toflom;shominnomn.()u man said, n‘t eat any we can‘t pay for it‘ Another m to know the cost and a third the room and dining room to spend the cover and exclaimed, ‘O, this is too expensive‘. Then Louise asked for their captain and he came and acâ€" cepted the food after protest, sayâ€" ing that so far they had done nothâ€" ing for their country. s § "The last straw was when Mrs. Thu brought over stockings and gloves for each man. She and her friends and servants had been sewing them for some time. ‘The gloves are of cloth with the thumb and first finger free, while the socks are the old style, also cloth with reâ€" inforced soles that will stand long miles of tramping. Yesterday and today.they..are.xanishing .in.the diâ€" of them, headed for experiences they cannot possibly comprehend, but determined to serve their counâ€" try, and willing to walk two months to do it. Is China a country worth saving? . "Perhaps I should not go on this way and write so much about the war, but it touches us more and more intimately every day and conâ€" stantly in our minds is ‘Why?‘ The paper quotes Rueter‘s news from London as of December 2. In the course of an address last night beâ€" fore a banquet given by the Roual Scottich corporation, Sir Ian Hamilâ€" ton expressed the opinion that Japan was on the way to Singapore. ‘Jaâ€" panese Emperor‘s road,, he continâ€" ues ‘is clearly marked. Hankow, Hongkong, Singapore, Burma, Anâ€" nam, Bengal. Nothing less than Europe can definitely hold up his army. How monstrous it will seem to posterity. Throughout 1937 the European nations have been quarâ€" reling like dogs over a bone about Spain, which has not the slightest intention of herself to be gnawed by any observer when we ought to have been in conversations with the generalâ€"staff, not only of Britain and ‘ F‘rggee, but of all Europe‘. "Just a few more words and this must go to be ready for temorrow‘s air mail. There has been almost no foreign mail through for two weeks. A few papers struggled in, and Edna had one letter from Virginia Blake. Are you writing, and the létters not getting through, or just not writing. Do ask about service which includes ordinary boat passâ€" age to Hongkong and air from there to Changsha, Someone said it was not too expensive and it would make arrival almost 100 per cent sure, and two or three weeks quicker. They are bombing the southern part of the railway heavily now, and what is on the trains »trying to get through, may be lost. "Schools in Changsha are being asked to take in refugees of various types and have their students double up. Yali has one dormitory near the back gate that will probably be used for graduate nurses who have come in from Nanking, Changchow and Soochow. The aim is to get the most desirable tennants and soldiers do not rate as that, at least those who are headed back and unâ€" der poor discipline. Plan Conferences for Students at Local High Schools Continuing the plan this year for conferences between authorized repâ€" resentatives of schools of advanced educational training and members of the respective senior elasses the Lake Forest and Highland Park high schools have sent letters to ninety different colleges and schools inviting them to send representatives on one of the following dates: Wedâ€" nesday, February 9; Wednesday, March 2; Wednesday, April 6. or Wednesday, May 4. â€" Because so â€" many high school T niithene on en ons are ing their registrations before the 5: office has already put through some tmonty or thirty appllentions lo-n“d t:: ..llq.b..â€"f';“'m'“ .'flh 0 w Smith, ‘ Swatthmore, os-:..

Every wise parent and educator uses this drive ‘as constructively as possible. Desire New Experience ° The second basic «irge is desire for new experience. The infant learns about the world through the power of this drive. The adolescent boy or girl who is thwartedâ€"in this desire is likely to run away from home. Parents and teachers who understand this will not allow home life or school routine to fall into a dead level of monotony, but will alâ€" ways be planning new exploratory ventures for their young people. A third desire is for achievement and mastery. Every child must feel this sense of power and accomplishâ€" ment to be happy. School reqnireâ€" ments and home duties should be so â€"peâ€"tturthacmodentM"wonifies that he can achieve and be sincerely praised for his success. Praise is a much better stimulus than reward or punishment. By satisfactory acâ€" complishment, â€" the selfâ€"respect â€" of the individual is built up, and selfâ€" confidence leads to further progress. Every child has a desire for afâ€" fection which must be satisfied if he‘ts to be happy. His family must like him and not be afraid to show it. His teachers can do far more with him through winning his conâ€" fidence and affection than by any other means. If he cannot find afâ€" fection in approved places, he will seek it out wherever he can find it, Need Sense of Security Children need also a sense of seâ€" curity, both social and economic. If they feel the sustaining power of a happy wellâ€"organized home, can hold their own in their group, and understand and know how to meet their economic problems without humiliation, they have no sense of fear and frustration of this imâ€" portant instinet. In discussing the second approach to the development of the child‘s personality, Dr. Rosencrantz emphaâ€" sized particularly the fact that as children go through the adolescent period the parents become less imâ€" E‘l;unt and their friends more so. group, in fact, becomes so powâ€" erful in its influence on the child that he can be completely made over by transplanting him from a group with one set of ideals to one diameâ€" trically opposed to the first group. Parents and teachers should recogâ€" nize the fact that this group influâ€" ence is so powerful, and that they can accomplish more by working with the whole group to raise its level than by singling out individâ€" uals for their efforts. Ideals such as honesty are more of the group than of the individual, at least durâ€" ing this adolescent period. Every happy child should have his place in a group and recognition there. The shy child who has no friends is a (Continued from Page 2) ns vell Â¥ Hete A t We are pleased to announce that the following wjell-known and distinguished citizens of Highland Park have been elected on our Official Board, viz: Announcement The First National Bank THE PRES838 JOSEPH B.

B; Garnett Dry Goods Company real problem child, and one for whom parents and teachers should do their utmost. « Conflicts To Be Avoided | In dealing with the third apâ€" proach, that of the situation, Dr, Rosencrants dwelt on the importance of avoiding conflicts between authâ€" orities â€" between home and school, group and parents, parent and parâ€" ent, ~generation and generation. Parents, he said, are inevitably parâ€" tial. They cannot conceive of any child being so clever, so winning, so attractive, as their child. Freâ€" quently, therefore, they expect more of the child than he is capable of doing. If he‘s not a child who will benefit by taking Latin or going to eollege it is a mistake to make him do so. It is likewise a mistake to hope he won‘t have to work as hard as you did. Perhaps that hard work would be the making of him. It is wrong to compare childrenâ€"let each ebild live his own life. After all, what every parent wants for his child is that he may have a good lifeâ€"be able to do useâ€" ful work, earn & good living, and be normal and happy. Any line of action which leads toward such an end is justifiable, sensible, and GRADES OF H. P. GRADUATES AT U. OF I.
