New System Of
 Teaching Being Advocated l93S

ALBANY, Nov. 26, Stream lining has hit New York state schools. But not with a bang, for educators don't work that way
 But, as Dr. J. Cayce Morrison assistant state commissioner for elementary education explains, the social order has been chang ing rapidly. And that has creat- ed the need for development of social studies program"
 For a year and half, under Dr. Morrison's direction, 200 schools have been doing some eX- perimenting to see what the new program should be like By next spring, he predicts, 10000 teach CTS with 100000 pupils from pri- mary to sixth grade will be en- gagged in the experiment.
 Would Blend Subjects
 No complete change in the cur riculum should be made until eX periments have gone on three or four years, Dr. Morrison feels. But here's what he's aiming at:
 Abandoning history, geography, sociology and economics as stereo- typed subjects and blending them so they will fit the child's needs.
 "Why should a child in the 4th grade, for example, learn about the geography of the Mohawk Val ley one year and the history of the same sections the next year? Why not learn them both togeth- er?" Dr. Morrison asks.
 'The acquisition of information must be subordinated to enable each individual to lead a more enjoyable existence and to choose a life of usefulness"
 The new curriculum, in which the two S's, social studies, may outweigh the three R's must be constructed so that the child en- tering tn class room "sees no heed for leaving his natural ex- pefience and curiosity behinds" says Morrison.
 "The new problems that have developed-social, geographic and economic-are troubling our pu- pills. They think about them and

and gave Piggy" the evil eye. As Ma
haffey reached for the money which
was a collection of pennies, nickels
and dimes, Ward dropped the coins
on the ground and walked away.
Mahaffey roared in anger. The crowd
roared with glee. Ward was applauded
for his comedy
Mahaffey picked up the coins, not
bothering to count the numerous pieces
of money. His face was red.
"Mahaffey is mad and I am glad, and
l know how to tease him." sang out
Ward.

Get out!" beloved Mahaffey. "And
I mean all the way out of the park
and stay out" ordered the irate UNI
pire.
And that mandate was music to
Wards ears. Piggy" did a quick
change from uniform to civies, then
hiked over to the ace track. Co-opera-
ton by jockeys and a horse or two
would recover his 10 bucks-and maybe
a few extra simoleons.
Wards comedy coin act was reported
by Mahaffey to the league prexy. Ap-
parently the head man got a kick out
Of the incident as no further fine was
levied on Ward. The prexy decreed that
in the future, pennies, nickels and
dimes would not be considered legal
tender in payment of fines.

RECRUITER
TELLS FISH YARN
.eWHERE IGNORANCE is BLISS,
IT'S FOLLY TO BE
WISE"

few days ago, Frank Fusick, Helena
navy recruiter, dejectedly pOndered
the cruel tricks of fate, and on
WINGED himself Of the truth! In the
saying, when ignorance Is bliss,
it's folly to be WISE"
The reason for the morose thought
About three years ago, Frank became
addicted to fishing. The first time he
invaded the waters of Prickly Pear
creek he hooked a huge Rainbow trout
in the valley.
AS his experience widened and he
graduated from the rank with a cap
ital RI Of amateur, he finally came
to thinking nothing of taking home
four or five fish each time he went
Tries New Outfit
During the last three years he has
haunted the pool in which the large
trout lived. on several occasions max
ing 10 or 12-foot casts and hooking the
monster. But he never was able to
get tie beauty to land:
Starting out the present season with
a shiny, new outfit, the undaunted COB
vowed he'd bring the big fish home
before fall, dreamed each night of the
day he would tell of the struggle the
giant had put up.
MI. fuSlCk HdU dSSureQ Himself ClaC
only the best fisherman in the country
would ever be good enough to get the
fish in a basket. In his mind, he pic
tured the master of the creek mounted
and hung above the fireplace in his
den.
The cruel blow fell on his last trip
to the favorite spot.
Has Competition
Crawling toward the hole where the
wise old fish lived, Frank spied another
fisherman wading downstream to the
spot. A hasty glance, and Mr.: Fusick
was sure the mar would never threaten
the prize finny.
The man was using q huge hook,
much more inefficient than the at
tractive handmade flies in the navy
mans book. The stranger was using q
leader as large as a clothes line, while
Franks 10 foot long, was thin as thread.
Frank even permitted a leering grin
to split his face as the stranger made
an awkward cast while standing within
three feet of the big fish's favorite
I'll hook old grandpap," thought the
sailor.
But not so; as the strangers large
fly splashed up a bucketfull of water,
the surface of the pool was shattered
and the big fish rainbowed in the air.
Before he could get back into the water
to fight. the fish vas flung to land
as the amateur gave a mighty jerk on
his pole.
With moistened eyes and leaden
heart, Mr.. Fusick watched the stranger
methodically start in fishing again.
The bright, summary day had lost its
zip as Mi Fusick drove the melancholy
road to home.

4 HOMERS, 1 TRIPLE IN 1 GAME

Playing for a Butte team in 1912
against Hamilton, at the latter city,
Shills had the HamiltonianS pop-eyed
with his mace welding. In his first
trip to bat, Bert sent the apple on a
ride to the farthermost corner of left
field. When the ball was relayed in,
Bert rested at third base. Next time
up, Shills dropped over the CEN
terrified fence. His third hit was another
homer via the centerfield fence. The
fourth time up another home run was
his hit, over the same center fence.
When Bert stepped to the plate for
his fifth and final time in that ball
game, before a ball was pitched, Eddie
Hammond, home team manager, called
time. Hammond ordered his center
fielder to climb the fence and stay
there until Shills was either out or
through running. The crowd enjoyed
the by-play as the home team was
many runs behind.
Shills gave the climbing outfielder
a high sign. It wa returned by the
fielder. Time in," was sung by the
umpire. The pitcher wound up and
let one go. Shills' bat connected with
the ball-and away it sailed, high and
far beyond the reach of the fence
mounted outfielder. Shills' four home
runs and a triple were productive of
enough runs to give Butte an easy
victory.
Bert Shills was the Babe Ruth of
Montana semi-pro baseball for more
than a decade.

Anaconda. The mighty Beville was to
pitch for Butte.
Shills' first appearance at bat gave
the home fans something to cheer
about. The ball sailed over the right
field fence. When Bert reached home
yer. He thought he was being kidded,
SO didn't do any picking up exercise.
A few weeks before he was given the
razzberry on his every trip to the
plate. His mates picked up the silver
and delivered it to Bert.
Mates Shared in Spells
Shills hit another home run over
the right field wall on his second plate
visit. The ball broke a window on a
passenger coach that was parked on
a sidetrack with many other coaches
that brought the crowd from Butte.
Again there was a shower. Bert picked
up the money this time. So did his
mates.
time he rifled the ball far over the train
home u act was costing the fans
money but they liked it. Not all of
the money that was tossed was given
to ShillS. There was enough for all of
the Anaconda players. Bert didn't COM

ShillS was the home run king of the
league, a league that had powerful
hitters such as Home Run Joe Marshall,
Dave Zearfoss, Joe Tinker, Jack Flan-

Yes, McCloskey wanted Shills for
his club. He planted the seed of dis
content, and his plan almost jelled.
As smooth as McCloskey was, his
shenanigan didn't fool "Firecracker

Bert Shills was missing pitched balls
by a foot.
Shills was a natural hitter. He had
only one weakness-planted by Nc
Closkey. Shrewd Bill Webb discovered,
then analysed the weakness. A friend
ly talk, a new outfit, and a raise in
pay caused Shills' shillaly to be heard
consistently around the circuit.

SEQUEL TO ''PLOW"
READY FOR PUBLIC
New Lorentz Film, Poetic
Story of River Wrath, in
Debut This Week.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
The Governments newest effort at
motion picture production makes its
first appearance in the Nations
tneaters this week.
The film. entitled "The River" will
be released by the Farm Security Ad-
ministration. It Is an attempt to
convey in simple terms the story of
the wastage of national land resources
through erosion.
In picture, poetic narration and
music, the new film takes up at a
point where The Plow That Broke the
Plains" left off in describing the raw
ishment of great sections Of a con-
tinent during the hasty rush to build
for bigness.
Another Lorentz Product.
In technique the film follows the
pattern of '"The Plow," and it was
shaped by the same hands. Pare
Lorentz, motion picture critic, is au-
thor and director of both ''The Plow'
and "The River" He wrote the mar
ratives. His American ancestry is
Revolution.
Virgil Thompson, concert pianist
and composer, drafted the musical
scores for both, and a veteran actor,
Thomas Chalmers, who recently ap-
peared with Tallulah Bankhead in
Anthony and Cleopatra" narrates
the story of THE River" as he did
in THE Plow."
Just as "The Plow" appeared at a
time when the Government was en-
phasizing the need of widespread soil
conservation and relief for share
croppers, so THE River" is released
at time when the Government is on
q new quest. Pending before Congress
is the Norris bill proposing to create
seven national authorities to build
dams, abate floods, recreate farming
improve navigation-and generate
power. The President advocated en-
actment of the legislation by the
special session.
River Locale Wider.
The film cost $4,000 to produce and
1t takes half hour of show time.
1.-THE Plow" cost $4,000 and runs of
in about the same time. The differ
ence IN cost lies in the fact that while
"The Plow" was filmed only in four
States caught within the dust BOWL
the new picture was photographed
over 13 States by three parties of
cameramen operating under far more
difficult conditions.
The Plow," in its two years of ex-
tstence, has been shown to 10000. 900
persons in 5000 commercial theaters
and is enjoying revival now in con-
nection with the projected appearance
of THE River" THE River" is al
ready booked ahead for more than
500 theaters and the Farm Security
Administration, which succeeded the
Resettlement Administration, expects
it to rival or exceed the run of THE
P1ow"
The picture is distributed free to
SHOW houses, which pay only trans
portation charges.
The photography is startling. The
narrative, written by Mr.. Lorenz is
already scheduled for publication sep-
arately as a sort of poetic epic of the
river. And numerous Sunday school
and prayer meeting hymns are studded
into the musical score.
