THERE are many washingtonians
today who recall with pride
South Washington. or the old
4 Island" as their birthplace
And why should they not? I'M
portant people have lived and died in
the Sunny Southwest"
Southwest Washington today has
many attractions. There are beautiful
places to lock upon and muse of the
past, and some nice, quiet shady streets
bordered by comfortable and attractive
homes.
Gov Alexander R Shepherd was born
in South Washington, and Robert Brent,
WaShington'S first mayor, serving from
1902 to 1911, for years lived at the
Mansion House, which was on G street
between Ninth and Tenth streets, and
died in 1919 at the home which he
built at the southeast corner of Twelfth
and Maryland avenue. In this neigh
borhood the celebrated novelist Mrs.
E. D. E. N. Southworth, taught school
in her early life.
Nor would it be difficult to add to
those already mentioned long list of
distinguished persons, no longer with
us. who were born and reared in that
part of Washington south of the Mall
who obtained their education there and
who always freely gave credit to its
schools and its teachers for whatever
success they may have attained in after
life.
It is not infrequently that We hear
some present or former resident of
South Washington speak in endearing
terms of some old teacher like John E.
Thompson, and of School Square, upon
a part of which now stands the Jeffer-
son School Building, dedicated in 1872,
though plans are being made to carry
on its activities in the near future
elsewhere.
How very interesting must this old
block be to many an old timer, and
even the youngster for that matter, for
the jefferson Building, together with a
number of portables located between d
and School streets and Four-and-a-half
and Sixtil streets is still being used for
public school purposes.

THE first school built in this block
was erected in I845. It was of
brick, two stories high, 81 feet inches
in width by At feet 10 inches in length
and had 12-foot ceilings, and evidently

Sawdust Demand.
THERE is a growing danger that sool

THERE is growing danger that soon
the tail will be wagging the dog
out In Seattle. It all came about be-
cause lumber manufacturing companies
in the great Northwest had a white
elephant on their hands in the form Of
the huge piles of sawdust which had
accumulated and which represented a
terrific job of disposal.
, Last year, however, some one worked
out a scheme for burning the sawdust in
furnaces by means of special blower
attachment. So successful was the in
stallation that many other people fol-
lowed suit, ana soon the huge piles
of sawdust were nothing but a mem
Dry. The demand grew apace and now
the refuse is brought into Seattle from
as far as 200 miles away by scow.
Because of this demand, which is in
creasing rather than decreasing, and be-
cause there is an abundance of waste
material that could be converted into
sawdust If there were anything to con-
vert 1t with, it is possible that special
equipment will be supplied to produce
this fuel.
Now, instead Of the companies being
dissatisfied because they could not dis
pose of the refuse, the buyers are dis
satisfied because they can't buy as for
merly and the companies because they
haven't any to sell.

position Of magistrate with much credit
His son, John E. Thompson, entered
upon his career as a teacher in 1847,
shortly after this city was divided into
four school divisions, and when the pub
lie schools were in their infancy. He
commenced as the assistant to DR.. To-
bias watkins of the second district
school, then located in what is now
known as Judiciary Square. Mr..
Thompson showed great aptitude as a
teacher from the start, and the follow
ing year he was appointed teacher for
the fourth district, which position he
held for over 20 years, when he was
promoted to the newly created Office of
supervising principal of the fourth di-
vision, a position he held until his
resignation last October.
During this long period of nearly 40
years that he was in the service of the
public schools, he held the very first
rank as practical educator who could
make his pupils understand thoroughly,
the principles of their studies aside from
mere parrot-like recitations. The re-
suit has been that large number of

A LOOK-IN at an old pay roll dis
closes quite a difference in the sal
aries paid the public school teachers
years ago and what they receive now.
OF course. all salaries were much lower
at that date than we find them today,
due naturally to the fact that every
thing was cheaper in proportion to pres
ent-day prevailing prices. In 1857 the
teacher of the male grammar school
of the fourth district received an an
nual salary of $1,000, and his assistant
$675. The teacher of the male inter-
mediate school received $625 and the
female teacher was allowed the same.
as was not always the case. The teacher
of the secondary school received for her
years work $500 and the primary school
teacher received only $3.50, while the
sub-assistants had to worry along on
$3.50.
Though a strict disciplinarian, like
nearly all the old-time school masters,

faculty is the most important feature.
In some Of the exclusive resorts the
instructors outnumber the guests.
Several Summers ago Mr.. Oddleigh
went to Blundermere Lodge for little
intensive relaxation. Before he quite
realized what he was getting in for, he
had signed up for swimming lessons

he was supposed to receive instruction
IN canoeing, fencing, tennis and musical

But after the grind started he was
compelled to drop canoeing and must

enough hours In the day for them. His
major subjects-golf swimming and

because of his riding blisters Che had
no swimming blisters), he managed to
master the principles of auction bridge
by lowering about the card tables and
studying Lenz and Foster in his spare
time by way of home work.
Within a few weeks he was the star
pupil at Blundermere Lodge. There
was no rule of golf, fencing, swimming,
bridge or craftsmanship that he did not
know.
But suddenly one morning Mr.. Odd
leigh began to behave in most unac-
countable manner. He appeared on the
golf course attired in striped bathing
trunks and riding boots with spurs.
Eth, Mr.. Oddleigh," cried McTosh,
whats the idea of the fancy dreSs?"
''It's my longest and strongest suit"
explained Mr.. Oddleigh calmly, turning
to the caddy. lone club, partner" He
took braSsie from the bag, poised it
like fencing foil and made series of
darting lunges at McTosh.
"Hey!" protested the bevildered in
structor, attempting to ward off the
attack. "Cut it out, mon! Are We
daft?"
keep your head down." replied Mr..
Oddleigh. Watch your stance-don't
preserving from the shoulder!
With final flourish of the brassie he
gave McTosh jab which knocked him
off his feet, and then galloped down
the fairway. his spurred heels shower
ing divots at every step. The next time
McTosh saw him he was executing the
Australian crawl in a water hazard and
shouting "Giddap, Beatrice!"
Mr.. Oddleigh'S antics completely de-
moralized the sporting element at
Blundermere Lodge. and classes were
dismissed for the day. Physicians di-
agnosed his case as a nervous break
down, caused by overstudy. He was
sent home the following morning with
letter to his family advising them to
put him in nice, quiet Office and keep
him hard at work.
But at Blundermere Lodge Mr.. Odd
leigh will always be remembered as the
man who put the wreck in recreation.

holders mind. it is interesting. even
though matter of envy, to note that
at least one group Of families managed
to get out of the fuel problem with coal
bought at less than 81 a ton.
These fortunate people live in the
territory contiguous to York. Harris
burg and Sunbury, Pa, along the Sus-
quehanna and the Schuylkill Rivers.
For almost century these rivers and
their tributaries have been washing
away quantities of anthracite from the
hard coal fields of the keystone State.
Dredges on the river are engaged now
in recovering this coal Mostly it Is Of
sizes equivalent to buckwheat No. 3
and boiler.
Prices for this coal have gradually
declined since 1920, until now they are
reckoned in cents rather than dollars.
