PUPILS TOUR U. S.

Fifth graders in the South Side
have taken an imaginary tour of
the United States. Each pupil chose
a state or states and visited it via
road maps which he obtained from
the Chamber of Commerce. In
telling the class of their trip pupils
use pictures found in magazines,
snapshots, booklets on national
parks and resources of the states
and personal experience.

Analysis and research have shown
that there is a lack of writing, read
ing and thinking ability among high
school English students as a whole.
What should be done about it?
That is the problem that the adj
ministration Of Glasgow high school
faced, and SO a radical revision has
been made by the adoption of new
English grammar textbooks.
Books emphaze reading, writing
and thinking rather than the dia-
granting sentences.
Grammar forms are still taught,
but as an aid to making sense in
reading, writing, thinking and
speaking.
The new books ordered for fresh
men and sophomores r signifi-

Hobbies and Hobbyists
News of Activities Here and Nearby
By Edmond Henderer.

To conclude the subject started
last week, collecting relics of early
American Indians, we would like to
tell about Ross Y. Stup. Mr.. Stup
has done all of his collecting close
to Washington and presents ample
evidence that this region Is fertile
ground for his hobby.
Mr.. Stup first became interested
in this subject about Is years ago,
but the small collection made at
that time was later lost, and his
present assemblage has been gath
cred in the last five years. He mar
ried in the interval between collec-
tions, and Mrs. Stup is probably as
ardent a collector as her husband.
They have a summer cottage up
the Potomac, at q point not too we'll
populated. This affords them ample
opportunity to make a thorough
search of the region. Several times
they have been so fortunate as to
find spots which must once have
been the sites Of Indian villages.
Such places usually yield all sorts
of interesting objects. Mr.. Stup has,
in addition to stone implements,
fragments of pottery, bones ana
other objects the use OF which can
only be SurmiSed.
The pottery fragments are orna-
mented with typical Indian designs.
Unfortunately they have not so lar
found either complete piece. or
even enough fragments in one place
to reconstruct anything.
Apparently the Indian craftsmen
were orderly people. When one
spoiled a piece of stone. and found
it to be beyond use, he threw 1t on a
pile with others Of its kind. mus
when today's searcher finds an In
dian work space, he is almost GER
tain to find a heap Of broken ana
imperfect arrow heads, and SO on.
In addition to the usual large
number of such broken pieces, the
Stups have some exquisitely perfect
ones. They also have some so small
that it seems incredible that they
could have been Clipped out OF hard
flint by the means at the Indians
command. They are so tiny that
they seem almost jewel-like.
Besides these Indian relics, Mr..
and Mrs. Stup have a number OF
bullets found in the neighborhood
of Balls Bluff and Edwards Ferry.
These. of course. are from the civil
War battles fought in the vicinity.
Some of the Indian objects were
found as deep as 8 feet in the
ground. Some Of these were dug out
bv hard labor, and others were
found sticking out OF the river banks
after storms. Sharp eyes and great
patience are prerequisites to this
hobby.

Dog lovers Of the world were
saddened to read of the death Of
Albert Payson Terhune. Few peo-
pie whose names are associated with
dogs have done as much to raise
the sympathy and understanding OF
the public for dogs in general, and
the collie in particular.
At one time Albert Payson Ter
hume was actively interested in the
dog fancy, with a busy Sunnybank
kennel, regularly attending dog
shows, and as covetously vying for
champions as the rest Of us. but
within the past Is years his atten-
tions have been principally directed
toward his writings, and though ne
has maintained many dogs around
him through these years, he has
not shown them. His books, how
ever, continue to be widely read, and
thousands of people who have busy
kennels today owe at least a part
Of their devotion to the dog to Ter
hune'S touching picturizations OF the
thoughts Of Grey Dawn, Lad. Won
and the other heroes OF his books.
Think, too, about his influence on
the popularity Of the show type
collie of which he principally wrote.
For 80 or 40 years they have held
prominent place in the interest OF
the public, in spite Of the lack OF
ballyhoo which has from time TO
time caused other breeds to sky
rocket into prominence. Few dogs
have had so permanent a place In
the world affection, and while collie
people will heartily agree the collie
well deserves the trust, there could
be no greater tribute to the SYM
pathy and appeal in the writings OF
Albert Payson Terhune.
Somewhere In Pittsburgh there Is
q brown Spitz dog named Nicky,
who enjoys q unique distinction.
He is the proud. though not boast
full. owner of two complete dental
plates. Nicky. like most pups,
started life with a complete set OF
beautiful, shining white teeth.
When in midst doghood. at the
age Of or 6, he accidentally lost
one of his priced molars, veteri-
marian consoled him by wiring in
a false tooth which could hardly
be told from the original. AS time
robbed him of succeeding teeth. he
kept getting requirements, until
now, at the ripe old age of II. he
chews a contemplatiye cud with a
complete set Of store teeth.
