We have known for some time that
DR.. Logan Carr was an adept at jig
saw puzzle making, but until recently
we did not know what he did with the
dozens he has made during the past
year or so. We finally found out
Some years ago, when the craze
first started, DR.. Carr, for diver
sion, made a number of puzzles with a
foot-driven saw and gave them to his
friends. Then, when the interest in
jig-saw puzzles was revived, he con-
ceived the idea they would be just the
thing with which convalescents in hos
pitfalls and in homes could while away
many a lonesome hour. He secured a
motor-driven apparatus and began
work in earnest, since which time he
has made approximately $50 intricate
and beautiful puzzles, cut from pic
lures pasted on 3-ply board, which
will not warp, and has distributed
them among his friends, shut-ins in
their homes and among Johns Hop
kins and other hospital patients. In
deed, some have gone to far-off China
and a consignment is now in the hands
of a Chinese girl student-nurse and
will be taken home by her this fall on
her return. Of course DR.. Carr re-
ceives nothing in return-eXcept the
satisfaction of bringing happiness to
others.
The memory of poets, authors, he
roes and statesmen have been perpet-
uated in stone, marble and bronze in
all ages. We doubt, however, if the
memory of any is more worthy OF
perpetuation than that of DR.. AleXan
der L. Wade, Of Morgantown, West
Virginia, who founded the first
graded school system, thus bringing
order out of chaos. On this subject
an illustrated article appeared in last
weeks Republican.
1t might be a fitting tribute if a
monument could be erected on or near
the site of his achievement, to be paid
for, not out of public money, but from
funds raised by "penny subscrip-
ton" among the pupils of the public
schools.
