The Rambler believes that the Small

few years ago the Rambler visited
the grave of Gen. Smallwood on his
plantation on the Potomac and in
Charles County, and wrote an account
Of the trip for you. Gen. Smallwood' s
home was reached by narrow road
from Grinders Wharf on Mattawoman
Creek, and from the house a path led
through a field to the grave. Let me
take few paragraphs from that Ram

SNUB AROUSES
IRE OF STATE
GYM TEACHERS
Physical Education Leaders
at Convention Showed to.
Rear by Athletics.

Indignation Of physical education
leaders over the manner in which
high school athletics is crowding
them back-stage hared up when
~only handful showed up Thursday
for physical education section execuA
tive meeting at Manual Training
high school.
Tackled on the tail-end of the joint
meeting with the Indiana State
High School Athletic Association in
the auditorium, which was attended
by several hundred principals, teach
ers and coaches, the physical educa-
ton session in the gymnasium Of
fered sorry contrast.
Only eight were there and they
were without chairs. All having the
floor, they voiced vigorous protest as
to the way their work and objects
have been subordinated to athletics.
Called Disgrace to State
"It's a disgrace to the State OF
Indiana" declared Miss Carrie
snively, Ft. Wayne teacher, who
with others, was incensed at the
relatively unimportant place given
physical education on the association
program. "It's come to be plain
case of the tail wagging the dog"
she said.
Smarting under the recent order
of the State Board of Education that
credits for graduation shall not be
given for work in physical education
the group agreed something had to
be done" and indicated it would
fight for rightful prominence.
1.-TWO speakers out there in the
auditorium expounded the principles
of physical education and explained
that physical education is the aim Of
athletics, but athletics gets all the
hand clapping," said one teacher.
Given No Section Meeting
The chief grievance was that the
physical education section was not
accorded section meeting of its
own.
l.. Rosasco, physical education
section president, heard the COM
plants. Miss Snively and Miss Ada
B. Crozier, state chairman of the
wonaen's division Of the I. H. S. A.
A., but an enthusiastic exponent OF
physical education, were heard at
length.
So disappointing was the attend
ance that election of officers was
postponed.

Secretary of State Kellogg
Plans Trip to Regain Health

Washington - Secretary of State
Frank B. Kellogg will leave for Santa
Barbara, Calf, where he will spend a
month in an effort to recover his
health. The secretary recently went
to North Carolina in an effort to re-
cuperate but apparently did not profit
greatly by his brief vacation. Mr.. Kel-
logg has met some of the gravest prob
lens, probably more Of them than
have ever confronted any secretary of
state. He has grappled with them un-
til they have worn him down. He does
not want to quit his post, but the re-
quirements of his health make it nee
essary for him to stop even though 1t
Is in the midst of grave international
negotiations. He has the complete
confidence of the President but it is
realized that his health must come
first.

Ford Removed from Hospital

Detroit, Mich.-Back in his own
home at Dearborn, on the outskirts of
Detroit, Henry Ford, injured in an
automobile accident, still was in much
pain but in the formal bulletin issued
by his physician no alarming develop
ments were noted. Ford's own desire
to get away from the hospital environ
ment and have the comforts which his
millions brought him was understood
to have been the reason for the trans
fer of the famous patient.
