Heroine of Surgery

Mrs. Jane Todd Craeford, pioneer
heroine of surgery, in 1909 rode so
miles on horseback from her home
near Greensburg, KY, to submit to
a surgical operation by DR.. Ephra-
i'm Mcdowell of Danville, KY.
There was no anesthesia at the time
and she was fully conscious
throughout the 25-minute ordeal.
She recovered and lived for over 80
years. On May 30, 1885, she was

Mud SHIPPERS Rare Fish
That Often Leave Water

Fish out of water are on view in
the Aquarium's Tropical hall in Lon
don. They are known as mud skip
perS. They have been accommodate
ed in a large case furnished with
half-submerged branches, miniature
gravel beaches, etc.-the better to
display the creatures unique hab-
it's.
These brackish-water fish have to
remarkable degree succeeded in
conquering the land. The eyes be-
ing virtually raised upon stalks, the
fish can enjoy clear view Of In
sects living above water line, and
often leave the water in pursuit Of
such insects, pursuing them along
tree branches, besides stalking them
on land much as might a lizard.
BY means Of its wide-spreading
breast fins and plant tail the mud
skipper can scuffie and even leap
with such rapidly as to render its
capture as difficult as that Of a
grasshopper. While out of water
the gill-chambers of the fish are
kept filed with air.
Prolonged exposure to sun and air
would quickly tell upon the eyes Of
a normal fish. The mud skipper,
however, safeguards its organs Of
sight against drying up by frequent
ly lubricating them, Withdrawing
them into their sockets and rolling
them about, an operation ludicrous-
" suggestive Of winking.

Meaning of Sub Rosa,

From earliest times the rose has
been the symbol of silence and Sc
crecy, and anything heard Sub
rosa," or under the rose, was sup
posed to be held in confidence, says
Golfers Weekly. The Athenians
wore the flower in their hair when
telling secrets and, during the Mid
die ages, countless banquet halls
and dining rooms had roses painted
on the ceilings as a reminder to
guests. In the Sixteenth century,
roses were even hung over many
confessionals.

An Old English Custom

Several centuries ago, the &C.
clesiastical courts of England pro-
hibited marriage not only between
distantly related relatives by blood
but also between relatives by aff1n-
ity. Thus, sisters-in-law and broth
ers-in-law were as incapable of
contracting marriage as natural
brothers and sisters, notes a writer
in Golfers Weekly. as were the
children of husbands and wives by
former maria peS.

per cont of the enroneeg have not
completed the elementary grades, By
special arrangement with the Schol-
arship Division of the Ohio State
Department Of Education many en-
rollees have qualified for grade and
high school diplomas while studying
in CCC camps.
Work performed daily in camp o.
in the field is the recognized basis
for training CCC enrollees for en-
ployability. Green men are taught
the safe and correct method of hand
ling tools. E'oremen fiud themselves
teachers when they prepare simple
outlines to instruct enrollees how to
do specific piece of work the right
way. Demonstrations and group dis
cussions hold an enrollee's interest
far better than formal lectures: but
each camp has its weekly safety
meeting which is attended by the en-
ire company Fire drills are held
frequently SO that every man will
know what to do in an emergency.
As result Of systematic job
training, many enrollees have at
tanned gratifying proficiency in cook
ing, table-waiting, truck driving,
stone cutting, carpentry and other
| specialized duties which have led to
permanent employment after they
were honorably discharged from the
Civilian Conservation Corps. 1t is a

vocational training. Nearly every
thing that is done in camp contrib
utes to the self development of en-
rollces. Indifference is changed to a
desire for self Improvement.
The dangers Of veneral disease are
emphasized. Camp physicians not
only instruct leaders in Red Cross
irst aid principles but preach the
gospel Of sanitation and personal
cleanliness TO each new group Of en-
rollees. Speakers come from near
by communities. In turn musical
groups from camp often entertain
civic organizations.
Wherever possible CCC enrollees
have been registered with the Ohio
State Employment Service and the
National Unemployment service. y.
VA. authorities also have cooperated
to help honorably discharged CCC
enrollees secure employment. The
problem In every CCC camp IS to ell
courage self expression, in uncover
hobbies that may be transformed
into practical skills, and to impress
on these young victims Of depression
years that a brighter future lies
ahead for those willing to prepare
themselves for life's problem.

VANDALIA CCC
COMMENDED
- Il
Marcus Anderson
Educational Advisor

Capt. f. Il. Bryan, commander;
r. E. Shoemaker, project superin-
tendent; and Marcus Anderson, edu-
cational advisor of Co. 588, C.C.C.,
Vandalia, O., are commended for
their efforts To advance the educa--
tional program in the eight colored
CCC companies OF Ohio in a report
just issued by Parker Lowell, edu-
cational advisor, Ohio District, CCC,
Fort Hayes, Columbus. O.
Anderson recently was appointed
educational advisor Of Co. 5S8 to
succeed Robert f. Black who ac-
ceptcd the secretaryship Of the Ur-
ban League at Little Rock, Ark.
Before entering actively on his
duties, new camp educational adj
wiser spends at least week in camp
with an experienced adviser who ex-
plains the routine of preparing cum
ulative records on each individual
enrollee for reference in counseiling
and guidance, outlining of class pro-
grams, and aiding members Of the
technical staff in analyzing each job
to be performed in the field and
taught by forcmcn to enrollees in
leisure time.
Camp educational advisers meet
each month with the company COM
mander and project superintendent
to plan the next months educational
activities which In turn fit into a
three months plan based on the
needs Of Individual enrollees and is
related to the type Of work done in
the Ohio CCC camps which represent
Drainage, Soil Conservation, State
Park, state Forest and Federal For
est services.
CCC regulations designate the
company commander as being re
sponsiblc for the promotion Of the
educational program, but upon the
ingenuity and cooperation of the
camp educational adviser rests the
actual success OF the program. Par
ticipation In educational activities IS
not compulsory, but each camp edu-
ational committee sets up its stand
ards. Preference on rccreational
trips to town are given to enrollees
who have been faithful in class att
tendance. Officers, foremen and
WPA emergency teachers aid the
adviser in giving instruction.
Special emphasis is placed on the
elimination Of illiteracy and aiding
enrollees to overcome common school
deficiencies. Tests to determine ed
ucational level show that illiterates
are few but that approximately 35

Today.

One of the greatest problems facing America today is creating a society capable of directing social changes instead of being overwhelmed by them. The task of solving it brings into the fore- ground more i1npressively than ever the essential requirements of the qualified, sympathetic teacher. The accompanying article is the third and concluding in a series arranged by the Waterbury Teachers association. It follows:
 Stanwood Cobb in h:S interest ing book, "The New Leven", writes: Tt takes a very devoted and skillful teacher to turn the energies of children = naturally egotistic, selfish, and at times cruel = into channels of sympa- thy, helpfulness, and social mindedness''
 Great Problem
 The great problem which con- fronts us today is that of "creat- ing a society capable of directing social changes instead of being overwhelmed by them" What are our local schools doing to prepare children to face courageously the difficulties which lie ahead Of them: to look intelligently, fear lessly, and constructively at pov- ertv and disease: to ask, What can I do to help?" rather than "Who will help me?" This is the most serious of all the many tasks which clamor for the doing. Perhaps we are not accomplish ing all that is possible in this particular direction, but, here and there, a beginning has ben made. Since the curriculum is already overcrowded, practically all of this type of work must be done outside of school hours. It means that teachers must devote time taken from their lunch hours or after the close of the regular ses- sions to do these additional, self imposed activities in order to train children to Do unto others as you would that they do unto you"

 "In 1915 the hospital was moved to the region south of the Thames. It stood on Lambeth Road. Peo- pie were admitted, for a time to the hospital to view the patients, as today they go to the Zoo.
 "Right near to Lambeth Road is 8 street called Lambeth Walk, where the milder insane patients were occasionally taken for strolls by the keepers. They may have walked grotesquely.
