 Just an old Texan family and not bad American stock My fath- CT was part Cherokee Indian and so was my mother. Course their folks back of that didn't come over on the Mayflower-they was | just standing there when it docked. AS matter of fact the biggest mistake my ancestors ever made was lettin' them land"

New York-Going to school is as much fun as going to a circus. That is, if you are having such a good time that you don't know that you are being educated.
 The Children's Museum, at Brooklyn, founded 29 years ago, has proved this theory. It set out to make education irresistible. To- day children are drawn to the two old mansions that house the mu- scum just as eagerly as they ever were to a big white tent where a clown band plays.
 During the month of July 56,- 080 children came to the museum. One day 5000 fiocked in just as though a Pied Piper played a magic tuGe. Nobody told them to come. They wanted to do it.
 The Children's Museum, which is under the curatorship of Miss Anna Billings Gallup, noted nat ural scientist, makes a game out of everything the children do. There are 25 regular staff mem- bers, assisted recently by 15 others who conduct the playwork.
