SCHOOL STUDY
S0C|ALIZED,
WINS PRAISE

mo educator wants to plant
in the child's mind the idea that
supervised study means elimina-
ton of formal home work."
John Paul Collins, principal Of
Anacostia Senior-Junior High, said
this today in discussing the new
program for supervised study insti-
tuted last year by DR.. Chester H.
Holmes.
A tour Of the class room in the
schools new building, two wings
of which are still under conStruc-
ton, and talks with the children
themselves, showed that super
vised study. far from being an ex-
pertinent. is accepted as part of
the regular curriculum by students
and teachers.
Pupils Like 1t
Bent over her desk in Class BIT.
Auroy Karrer, IA, shyly admitted
she preferred supervised study in
the classroom to work at home,
because it gives me more time
to play and 1 can get my lessons
easier with my teacher around to
help me if 1 need it."
John Courtney, also IA, said it
generally took him two hours
every night to do his home work,
whereas in supervised study he
could accomplish the same amount
of work, have more time to play,
and not have to worry about get
ting his lessons done on time.
Marion BorgStron, aged 10, a Sc
rious child, with glasses, said she
preferred the other way better.
She said she didn't have time to
complete her lessons in school nor
could she seem to grasp the fact
that there was no rule prohibiting
her from taking her books home.
Mr.. Collins remarked:
"She is one Of the pupils who
will have to be convinced"
In another classroom a teacher
passed from one pupil to another,
correcting here, suggesting there.
Mr.. Collins said:
"If teacher finds four or five
students making the same mis-
take she calls the class to atten-
ton and explains the problem.
We save a lot of time and trOu-
BILE this way"
SOCIALIZED STUDY
He continued:
1--WE call this our 'SOcialiZed
study class Until we installed
the supervised study program we
found most of our students going
in for commercial types of study,
such as metal and sheet iron
work, carpentry and printing,
because it was easier. The So
cialized subjects, history, Eng
lish, geography, were dropped.
Now with the teacher on hand
to help, the pupils are returning
to the academic side of school
which is of course, what we
want"

In another moment before Smythe realized what
had happened Warwick was standing over him.
He turned with a beast-like snarl. Then fear
froze him to the deck. There was no sign of
recognition in his eyes, He watched Warwick
take pistol from waterproof belt about his
waist and saw it leveled at his head. Their eyes
met. Neither spoke, but at that moment recog-
milton came to Smythe. A frenzied scream died
in his throat six bullets from Warwick's pis-
tol poured into his body He fell forward on the
deck in a welter of blood.
Pushing the body roughly aside Warwick
knelt beside the safe. Quickly he ran through
the perfectly preserved contents. The pearls!
Where were they? There was thick bundle of
letters from Sweden addressed to Knut Swensen

Four times he came up for air. He seemed

feet of water-at least twenty-five The fifth
time he came up he dropped the hatchet onto
the deck, and with a supreme effort pulled him

lay exhausted on the deck Warwick waited with
ill-concealed impatience.

he had remembered little else Smythe had en-
gagged in some dealings with a Swedish trader
named Knut Swensen. The old Swede was re-
puted to have fortune in pearls, collected over
a long period of years, which he had never sold.
He not only employed his own divers, but he
bought pearls from the natives and others with
whom he could strike one-sided bargain. Sven
sen was not particular where and how the pearls
had been obtained, and it was said that his
fabulous collection was mostly stolen pearls
which he had picked up for song. Smythe sold
him several small but fairly perfect stones, and
pressing his acquaintance with the tight-lipped
old Swede became convinced that the loot was
concealed somewhere in the house where Sven
sen lived.
Unable to locate the hiding place after several
secret visits to the house during Swensen's alb
sence, he had prevailed upon the trader to take
him on one of his solitary trips in search of new
shell. The Swede came upon him in the cabin
of the pearling lugger, searching through the
drawers of his desk. They quarreled, and, in the
desperate struggle that followed, Smythe struck
