a rubber mat at the edge of the tank
and demonstrate the various strokes.
They looked easy enough-on the rub
Der mat-but when Mr.. Oddleigh was
in the pool he forgot all scientific
principles in the desperate struggle to
keep his head above water The only
bright spot in his swimming course was
the day Miss Schoeseldunk slipped off
the tanks edge. She. too. forgot all
scientific principles and shouted wildly
for help until Mr.. Oddleigh dragged
her to safety.
X X X X
IT was fortunate that Mr.. Oddleigh's
daily riding lesson came i'm
mediately after the swimming lesson,
Tt involved another change of costume,
but Mr.. Oddleigh was so glad to get
into dry clothes that even his riding
habit looked good to him.
He was the only person 1t looked
good to, however
AS a beginner he was given a large
white mare named Beatrice. She had
formerly travelled with a circus and
was accustomed to jogging around the
ring at a steady, iambic-pentamete
gait while acrobats turned SomersaultS
on her broad back.
Looking at Beatrice from left to right
1t seemed incredible that any one de-
scending through the air could miss her
back. Yet Mr.. Oddleigh did several
times and he wasn't turning Somer-
saults either-at least not Intentionally.
And when Beatrice cantered the biz
lowing motion always gave Mr.. Odd
leigh a peculiar gone" feeling at the
pit of his stomach This, the riding
master informed him, was merely
touch of NAL de mare.
The evenings were devoted to bridge
and fencing lessons. Although Mr.. Odd
leigh was unable to shuttle the cards

| "You lift yer shoulders and yer head.
Keep yer head down. Watch yer stance.
Don't cr-r-rcuch like that. Yer not get
tin ready to jump on the ball; yer get
tim ready to hit it. Keep yer legs
straight
once MIR. oddleigh gathered courage
to protest. II am keeping my legs
straight" he said meekly. ITS these
boomers that make me look that way"
But arguing with McTosh. at 81 an
hour, was a luxury In which Mr.. Odd
leigh did not often indulge. Most OF
the time he kept his head down and
his mouth shut.
AS soon as his daily golf lesson was
finished he would return to the hotel,
change his clothes and trot down to the
bathhouse for swimming lesson.
Miss Schoeseldunk, the swimming in
structor, was Sun-bronzed Amazon
from Milwaukee. With her ample
shoulders and her leathery complexion
she resembled a hotel lobby chair.
Her methods of instruction were
Spartan in their simplicity; they con-
sisted in pushing Mr.. Oddleigh off the
deep end of the pool and then deliver
ing an inspirational lecture on self
reliance while he chung to the edge OF
the tank and shivered.
"All you lack Is confidence" she ex-
planned "You don't trust yourself
Stop feeling for the bottom of the tank.
Just imagine that there isn't any bot
tom. Imagine that you are in the
middle of big lake mile from shore
that you have to strike out and swim
or drown"
"Or b-both," added Mr. Oddleigh,
who had just swallowed part of the
pool.

time. Each subject required a change
of costume.
The golf lesson came first. Mr.. Odd
leigh came down to breakfast every
morning attired in one of those fuzzy
plaid costumes worn by golfers in the
clothing store advertisements.

IMMEDIATELY after breakfast he
IL would go over to the clubhouse for
several hours of public hunailiation I'M
der the supervision of Angus McTosh,
the imported professional. McTosh was
not a theorizer; he believed in active
practice. Though Mr.. Oddleigh would
have preferred to receive his instruc-
ton in the locker room, or at least
behind. the clubhouse, McTosh always
took him out in the open. His favorite
spot for teaching, was directly in front
of the club verandah, which formed a
spectators gallery, from which the sea-
soned golfers could study the patient in
his clinic. There McTosh would stand
him up and roll 'r's" at him until Mr..
Oddleigh felt like the far end of a
bowling alley.
:, Don't pr-r-ress!" he would rumble.

yet John E. Thompson was greatly be-
loved by the thousands of girls and
boys grown to maturity at the time of
his death, and the grief at his taking
away was genuine and sincere. Com

DEATH OF A VETERAN EDUCATOR.
THE life and services Of John E.
Thompson.
"Mr. John E! Thompson, whose dan
gerous illness has been noted in The
Star, died yesterday at 1870 pm. OF
disease of the liver and nervous pros
tration. Mr.. Thompson was born near
Romney. w. Va, in 1928, and came to
this city with his parents when he was
years old. His father. the late Will
liam Thompson. and his mother are
both remembered by old citizens as sue
cessful teachers of private schools.
Later his father was employed upon the
National Intelligencer, and afterwards
published a weekly paper styled the
Saturday News. For many years, and
up to the time of his death, he held the
