VICIOUS BROOD SOW
ATTACKS SMALL BOY

Attacked by brood sow as he was
crossing the Frank Tarbutton farm
between Barclay and Templeville,
John Clough, Z year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. John Foster Clough of Bar
clay had part of his right ear bitten
off and suffered serious abdominal in
juries on Tuesday afternoon of last
week. The boys life was undoubtedly
saved by the heroic Intervention of
his IL year old brother, Robert, who
ran to his assistance and drove off the
Infatuated animal with kicks and
yells.
According to reports the two lads
were passing through field where
hogs were feeding when the smaller
boy, John, stopped to play with some
recently narrowed pigs. The old sow,
mistaking his intentions, rushed at
the lad and knocked him down. The
animal siashed at the boy before. Rob-
ert could close in to help him.

CHICAGO EDUCATOR SUR
VEYS SHORE 90. SCHOOLS

DR.. w. C. Reavis, Professor of Edu-
cation, University of Chicago has been
in Talbot County making a survey of
the school conditions. He visited ev-
cry elementary and high school class
in the county. He was accompanied
by J. w. Davis and William R. Phipps
This distinguished educator held
conferences with teachers and gave
some very practical suggestions.
Tuesday afternoon a conference was
held at the Easton High School for
high school teachers. This conference
lasted two hours, and the subject OF
the professors discourse was "Scien-
tific Study of Learning Problems"
In this conference Professor Reavis
stressed one of the duties Of the
teacher is to gather and use all types
of data relative to the child that
could be secured.
He also stressed the value of every
reaction of the pupil whether spoken,
written, or type of conduct. These
should give the teacher evidences of
what the pupil needs.
On Tuesday evening a two and
half hour conference was held in the
school board office with all teachers
of social studies, both high school
and elementary school teachers of
these studies. In this conference the
professor gave some very practical
suggestions for the revision of the
social students curriculum.
The following two and half days
were spent in Denton and on Satur-
DAY Professor Reavis will return for
joint meeting of all Caroline and
Talbot teachers. At the conference
two fifty-minute talks will be given
on "The More Effective Use of the
Class Period"
DR.. Reavis has had a most varied
career. Beginning as principal of a
fifteen-pupil high school, he took up
elementary work, and has since ad-
vanced until he is now Professor of
Education in the University of Chi
cago.
Talbot is indeed fortunate in hav-
ing such a distinguished educator
make a survey of it's schools and in
having him give the teachers the
fence.

STORM TAKES HEAVY
TOLL ON GAME BIRDS

State Game Warden E. Lee Lee
Compile said Tuesday that last weeks
storm killed 925 young quail at the
Wicomico State Game Farm and that
it had done "heavy" damage to birds
at the Gwinnbrook farm near Balti-
more.
All the quail killed, LeCompte said,
were under month old. In addition,
the current which operates the incu-
bators was off for three hours. Lee
Compile said the damage this would
cause to the eggs being Matched could
not be determined until Monday when
the chicks emerge from the shells.

ROTARY CLUB DISCUSSES
SAFETY ON THE ROAD

Safety on the roads and streets of
the community is the keynote of an
address and program presented be-
fore the Centreville Rotary Club at
their regular weekly meeting at the
Blue Lantern Inn.
Through a novel electrical device
called a filmtalker, an electrically
recorded and illustrated talk by James
o. Spearing, automobile editor of the
New York Times, was given on the
subject of "The Open Road"
The presentation covered the high
lights of transportation in America
from the days of the covered wagon
to the modern motor vehicle, and the
development of highways to provide
safety as we'll as service.

"broken down near Texas" He is
said to have obtained $3.50 in the
manner in Towson.
Several weeks ago Samuel Gold
stein, proprietor of the Pikesville
Hardware Company, reported to po-
ice that he had been swindled. He
said he had received call, purport-
edly from Baltimore wholesaler of
his acquaintance. The message ask
ed that he give a driver, whose truck
had broken down, enough money to
get a needed part. A short time at
terward, Goldstein said, man en-
tered his store, with grease on one
hand and rag in the other, and ask
ed if Goldstein had received a mes
sage from the city firm. Goldstein
had, and would be glad to help, he
said. The man said the part he need
cd cost $3.50; he took the money and
departed.
Goldstein thereupon called the city
firm, only to learn that they have no
truck in Pikesville.
On Monday similar call reached
the Alt Hardware Company, also in
Pikesville, and soon afterward man
dressed as a mechanic appeared, with
grease on one hand and a rag in the
other. He went through the same
routine until Alt hesitated. The man
then asked where he could get a cup
Ct coffee, and walked out. Alt call

French was identified by Goldstein
as the mechanic" who fleeced him,
and French is said to have admitted
the fraud.
