Good writing and figuring on

ing to Mrs. Harold Ickes. wife Of
the Secretary Of the Interior, just
back from a two-week tour Of the
rural schools Of Mexico.
Mrs. Ickes isn't writing a book
on the Mexican rural schools, but
she says:
II always thought persons
who Just blow in and out Of .
country write the best books.
They get the highlights and
aren't lost in a maze of details"
Mrs. Ickes, an authority on the
Navajo and Pueblo Indians, Wis
tied Mexico to study the six-year
school program inaugurated by
the revolutionary government.
Praises School Plan
She is enthusiastic over what
she saw. The spirit of "every.
thing for Mexico" has sent hun.
dreds Of bright young men and
women into desolate rural areas
gladly giving their lives to the
cause of education.
Equipment is poor. Mrs. 1ckes
spoke Of one school where the
chalk was odds and ends donated
by more wealthy communities.
But the writing and figuring on
the blackboard" were good and the
spirit of both teacher and pupils
was an inspiration.
The Washington times., 1934-07-23
MRS. HAROLD ICKEs

She said:
Everything was the simplest
possible. The children had
practically no clothes, just sOme-
thing tied around them. But
they were scrubbed clean, looked
well fed and glowing with .
spirit Of joy that was beautiful
to See."
Mexico, says Mrs. 1ckeS, Is the
land Of youth. The older leaders
have either died or faded out OF
the picture.
IlIiteracy Vanishing
Mexican youth, fired with the
revolutionary promise Of Liberty,
Land and Education" is making
good on these promises. nliteracy,
once general among the Mexican
poems, is gradually vanishing. But
more important than that:
at is not only . question
of education In the generally
accepted sense. Mexican boys
and girls are being educated to
the national idea through these
hundreds Of little rural
schools"
Everywhere in Mexico Mrs
Ickes was received with friend
ship and enthusiasm. She laugh
ingly admits that she became SC
accustomed posing for pictures
at way stations that she hoped
off every time the train stopped
and struck an attitude. A pho
tographer was. always there.

Uncle Ray
A Little Saturday Talk.

A STORY of a meteor which passed
close overhead is told in a letter
from reader:
Dear Uncle Ray:
"I am a normal school student and
expect to teach school some day. ]
enjoy the Corner-it seems like O
surprise box
Because you enjoy hearing of the
adventures of people, I should like
to tell you one of mine. 1t happened
when I was about 10 years old and
was living in village a few miles
east of the Mississippi River. was
walking along near my home one eve
ming when suddenly deafening noise
startled me, and everything was bright
as day.
Il looked upward, and to my amaze
ment found that the sky was a mass
of red sparks and fire. I thought
that perhaps the world was coming
to an end!
Many of my neighbors were ex-
claiming about this unusual spectacle.
The sky remained red for a long time
The noise I heard was like that Of a
giant rocket or like an immense
amount of steam being released.
THE next day we read about this
meteor in the newspapers. 1t had
fallen in a farmers field, on the
other side of the Mississippi, about
20 miles from my home, and had
buried itself deep in the ground
When pieces we're dug up they were
found to be of rocky substance and
looked like big cinders.
Il think I shall never forget that
night, and I am glad that saw the
meteor even if it did frighten me
almost to death.
Wishing you every success with
the Corner. am,
Sincerely yours,
FRANCES BRYAN"
am glad the meteor landed in q
Geld, and not in Miss Bryans village
II is not common thing for people
to see a meteor at such close range,
though there are other cases on rec
ord. Sometimes meteors Of this kind
are called fire balls"
A famous meteor, or fire ball. shot
across Europe in 1888 and was seen
at height of about so miles. 1t
had an estimated speed of 30 miles
per second, meaning that it must
have gone quickly out of sight. ex-
cept for the fiery trail"
Notice that l said trail and not
tail" Comets have tails, but me-
teors do not. Some meteors are COM
posed of rocky substance on the order
of what comes out of volcanoes. Most
of them contain iron, and other
metals, such as copper. nickel and
tin, are likely to be mixed with the
iron. UNCLE RAY.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRoWLs.
Home Complex.


THOSE psychologists who hold that
= "the child is father Of the man
are able to support their contentious
with q host of facts. In the nrst
place, normal human beings are
enormously sentimental in their psy-
Geological makeup. There's no place
like home"-the early but lasting en-
vironment for the majority OF men
and women. Lose the home attach
ment and you gradually become
a social. Most criminals are recruited
from the ranks Of the street urchlns,
who have no lasting home sentiments
among their early memories. Among
the female criminals you rarely, II
ever, find a biography that includes a
record for good housekeeping.
The average man or woman Is un-
consciously motivated by his or ner
-mother-sister-brot complex.
This is the most lasting Of the home
mental configurations, the most ao-
sorbing of all sentiments.
This sentiment carries over into the
protective concepts of the church,
where the priest is the father and the
ccmmunicant is the child. Then we
have the Red Cross, which Is the
greatest mother of all" Every
science has its father" as does every
country. Every lodge is brother
hood" as is every labor organization.
Every municipality has its city
fathers" The native land is the
mother country"

A First Party
BY EMILY POST.
"DEAR MRS. POST: Soon we {

"DEAR MRS. POST: Soon we are
~ to move into our new house,
and even now our friends are look
ing forward to our housewarming. I
didn't know that the owners them
selves could give such party any
more than they could give a shower
for their own benefit. Just what
is a housewarming and who could
give it?"
Answer-A typical housewarming is
usually given by the owners and. as
the name implies, is merely the flrst
party that takes place in a new house.
Usually 1t is an evening at home, or,
If the house looks its best by day
light, an afternoon tea, or it can be
any sort of party they choose. The
only difference between housewarm-
ing and any other party Is that 1t
is first of all a display of the house
and, since nearly all people love to
20 over newly finished houses, this
means that the guests invariably in
sist on going everywhere-literally
speaking-from front door to back
door and from garret to cellar. and
even into every closet that has been
left unlocked. Apart from showing
the house, no preparations are neces-
sary further than either punch or
tea, or both, with a few sandwiches
and cakes, set on the table In the
dining room or on a table in the
living room, and people help them
selves.
A surprise houSewarming, on the
other hand, is arranged by one or
two friends, who telephone others.
and each is told to bring an item
of food exactly as is done for q
picnic. Sometimes, but not as a rule,
people take presents, too. but, If they
do, these gifts are trihing. In fact,
often limited to 10 cents or per-
hapS rs.
1t is very important that those
who are to be surprised shall be
prepared for company without being
aware OF this preparation-meaning
that it is necessary to be sure that
they will not have gone to bed or
else be found alone in lounging
clothes. Obviously, the practical thing
is for one of the conspirators to
invite them to dinner. Meanwhile
the party is started and going full
blast by the time the NewhouSes re-
turn home. Or else an evening Is
chosen when the Newhouses are them
selves giving dinner. The surprise
party meets elsewhere and arrives In
body at about the time the meal
should be over.

Who Are You?
The Romance of Your Name
BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS.

whence comes the name Of the twe
great continents of the Western World
This name appears to have under
gone several changes. Beginning with
the name Of Emeric, 1t changed IL
Emery. and there are families still
using this spelling: Amery Ia another
form. Ammory and Amory are the
latest and the most usual Spellings en-
countered today.
In the ancient Domesday Book the
name was spelled HaimericuS. L 10
believed that the Amory family m
England was established by one
D'Amery. who came from Tours,
France, to England as . follower Of
William the Conqueror.
Some Americans Of this name trace
their ancestry to Hugh Amory. who
was living in England in the sixteenth
century.
One Of the earliest settlers bearing
this name in this country was JON
athan Amory, who established the
family in Massachusetts, before 1885.
