a Day

Two men. who were going on a
camping trip, decided to combine
their funds and buy an automobile
and ranplete camping outfit. The
first man said to the second: Give
me two-thirds OF your money, and
win buy the automobile for $500.
Then you will have enough left to
buy the camping outfit"
The second man replied; mo. Let
me have three-fourthst OF your
money; then 1 will have enough to
buy the automobile, and you will
just have enough left to purchase
the camping outfit"
What was the price Of the camp

Serious Minded Youth of 1896 Gives Way Lighter Age

Into Background in Mind
Of Students.

Then there's this matter of re
specting their teachers. Back in the
nineties, 1t just wasn't done" for a
student to make impertinent re-
marks to a teacher
1.-THE whole class would have been
shocked for week at the way some
pupils talk every day to their teach
ers now" Miss Schaefer said. 1--WE
had, 1 believe, more reverence for
both home and school, parents and
teachers.
''The teacher, in turn, had more
close contact with her students, be-
cause there were not so many Of
them. She knew more about their
home life than the teacher of to-
day can know"
She was, in fact, Miss Schaefer
said, more nearly a mother" to her
boys and girls, who took their
troubles and triumplis to her more
easily than they do now.
Pennies Counted

children intimately. She knew they
didn't have many pennies to waste.
Even IL there had been many
things on which to spend our allow

so much to spend as do the boys
and girls Of today" Miss Schaefer
pointed out. "Some of them seem
to have lost all sense Of the value

Schaefer remembered. II suppose

For that matter, the situation
among the young folks Of today Is
far from hopeless, Miss Schaefer
thinks.

Manual High Sewing Teach
or Recalls Time Of Own
School Days When Three
1 Rs Still Held Place at Top
of List,
BY RUBY WE'LL

Back In the days when readin'
and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic were still
the basis Of civilization, when girls
wore pompadours and movie censor
ship was unnecessary because there
we're no movies, thirty serious
minded young men and women put
their high school diplomas away for
safe-keeping or framing and started
out to make the world a better
place.
Oh yes, they were serious-minded,
those graduates of the class of Jan
uary, 1895, at the Industrial Train
ing School, now Manual Training
High School. Their minds were on
their readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithme-
tic. In fact. there wasn't great
deal else for them to be on, in those
days.
I'VE didn't learn as many things
as the children Of today learn" Miss
Anna Schaefer said today. But
what we did learn we learned more
thoroughly.
Teaching Now
I'VE didn't have so many outside
activities to take our minds from our
studies, and we thought less of
frivolity."
Miss Schaefer was member of
the June, 80 class at the Industrial
Training School. In 1903 she re-
turned to the school as a teacher and
has been there ever since, teaching
sewing.
AS she sat in her classroom,
watching her pupils labor over the
intricacies of French seams and
tucks, she went back to her school
days in her mind.
AS readin' and ritin and 'rithme-
tic formed the center of education.
SO the home, church and school were
linked in the minds of the younger
generation as closely as the movie,
automobile and dance hall are
linked, according to the more pessi-
MYSTIC of the observers, in the minds
Of today's youth
Few Shows
School filled the day, and school
work filled much Of the night-but
not so much that needed sleep was
lost
The church took care of social
activities. Physical welfare was

also contributed somewhat to the
social life. The home was the firm
foundation.
AS for the rest
There were no movies, no auto
mobiles. few dances, and few shows"
Miss Schaefer recalled.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1925-03-19

THE COUNTRY IS SAFE
(kanSas City Starr

(Kansas City Starr
An investigation conducted by
this fireside companion among the
hills Of Kansas City during the re-
cent period Of snow has revealed Il
comforting fact. The youth of the
land is living up to the great ira
ditions of its elders 1t is still
sliding down hill belly-buster.
You recall. Of course, when you
got out on the top of Putnam's hill
at night with the thermometer
hanging around zero and the moon
light sparkling on the landscape
just like the pictures on the frost
ed Christmas cards? You wore
your boots with red tops and brass
toes, your tippet and your mittens,
and you hauled behind you the sled
that was the pride Of your life with
the name Reindeer, painted on
its green back. If you were ex-
tremely bold you asked one of the
girls with pigtails sticking out
from her snug fitting turban to
slide. She sat in front with her
knees all bumped up, and you half

ing out as ar ruddcr. A shove and
away you went down the slippery
Slope for quarter or maybe half
a mile.
But in general girls were a nuis-
ance. Nobody wanted to sit sled
girl fashion. Belly-buster was the
thing. All, there was a thrill. If
the sled were light enough you
picked it up, ran few steps. flung
yourself down. and shot away
down the long slide. If the sled
were heavy you ran pushing it in
front of you and then when it got
we'll under way you gave a jump
and were off.
1t was a great sensation, the
speed, and those red top boots fill
ing with snow as they scraped Oh
the ground as you steered., In
time the snow would melt and the
boots would shrink and it would
take the combined efforts of the
family when you got home to pull
them off. But it was all great, and
you can still get the thrill looking
back across the years.
AS we have said, the country IL
safe. The boys of today still stick
to bellybuster.

Millionaires." The decaying hulk
seems to stand there as a symbol Of
shattered romance, the dead echo Of
the call of the deep.
Around this old ship is spun
legend of two seafarers, Norwegian
brothers who built the boat at the
beginning of this century, put it up-'
der sail and set forth for their
homeland. Once in Norway, they in
tended to fit it out with engine and
boiler.
And so they set out with brave
heart but became stranded on a sand
bar when only few miles from
shore. Towed back to the beach.
they refitted their craft and set sail
again. That time they met up with
storm off Cape May and were all
but lost when rescued by govern
ment cruiser and hauled back to
Staten Island.
Discouraged, the boys sold their
boat to some Young fellows who or
ganized yacht club in 1904 and
used the boat for a club house. With
an ironic sense of humor they paint
ed "Disgusted Millionaires" on the
boat.
And the years passed. as the
movies put it, and the boys one by
one married and left the club. Irony
was added to irony and the old boat
now has been converted into a store
house.
