The fighting up to that time. had
been intense, and the Jap group

without giving or asking quarter.

ingly ip the slope to the mouth
OF the cave In atademically correct

they would be well treated II they

There was pause, and whisper

Landing Is Described.
There wasn't very much to laugh
about the first time the former st.
Charles High School youth landed
on Tulagi Island with the rest of
Col. Merritt A. Edson's Devil Dog"
raiders. 1t was early in the morn
ing. and Sergt. Childs said the sea
looked smooth as glass as the men
prepared to get into the embarking
boats. Our guns had given the
clearing opposite terrific beating,
and we were ready to take care of
any possible opposition" said Sergt.
Childs.
Il felt kind of uncertain: all of
us felt a little scared though we
would rather die than admit it. We
landed on the beach quickly enough
and cautiously moved toward the
open space The place was abso-
lutely empty.
Il moved onto the ground. and
what do you think it was? A ceme-
try. Our guns had really smashed

denly something in the center
caught my eye, and I went toward
it with several fellows. There, in
the center of all this havoc and on
the concrete slab of one Of the
graves, was small glass jar with
statuette of the Virgin Mary in
side. 1t was absolutely unharmed
We just looked at it quietly, turned,
and almost tiptoed away"
Surprises His Wife.
Sergt. Childs was reluctant to
talk about himself, but he was more
than willing to tell how he broke
the news to his wife that he was
back in the United States. Il made
bee-line for the phone as soon as
we docked. When Alice answered
I sort of casually mentioned I was
on my way home. You can bet that
the rest of the conversation wasn't
SO casual"
The former marine had many
! anecdotes to tell about his friends.
One of them, Gunnery Sergt. Lou
Diamond, was great favorite of all
the men and his exploits were COM
pany history. An occurrence that
especially appealed to Sergt. Childs
had a humorous touch to it.
He was the 'Methuselah' of the

could swear the same way. One day

High Schools Shape
Courses 10 Fit War
Needs in Maryland
Emphasis to Be Placed
On Technical Subjects
And Health Program
BY the Associated Press.


BALTIMORE, Sept. 6.--Maryland
high school students returning to
the classroom this month will find
streamlined, up-to-date courses de-
signed to fit them for wartime con-
ditions.
Three officials of the State De-
partment Of Education declare that
increased emphasis will be placed
this year on subjects that will fit
students for service in the armed
forces, in war industry and allied
fields.
Innovations and increased empha-
sis fall generally into these three
divisions:
l. Greater stress on technical sub
jects which both boys and girls will
find helpful in the armed services or
in defense industry.
2. Emphasis on a physical educa-
ton and military training program
which will fit high school graduates
for induction into the armed forces.
8. A guidance program which will
enable both girls and boys to find
their rightful places in the Nations
war effort.
Changes Are Outlined.
Changes in the high school cur
ricula were outlined by DIR. Earle T.
Hawkins, supervisor of high schools; !;
DR.. r. Floyd Cromwell, supervisor
OF educational and vocational guild
ance, and Donald l. Minnegan, act
ing supervisor of physical education
and recreation.
Such specialized courses as pre-
flight aeronautics were added to the
curricula in 80 high schools-24
white and 6 colored schools-last
year, and this program will be In
tensified this term, Or, Cromwell
said. Since the courses were started
ne added, 759 boys Throughout the
State took this training.
Virtually every school in the State,
Dr.. Hawkins declared, has been
handicapped in the inaugurating of
new courses by the shortage of
teachers.
Mathematics to Be Stressed.
He said the armed forces were
particularly anxious that high school
graduates have working knowledge
of fundamental mathematics, and
that maintenance of skill" courses
had been inaugurated in many high
schools.
= They have also started an inten-
sive campaign to aid in the recruit
ment of the $1,000 nurses which
military authorities estimate the
country will need. he said, adding
that approximately one of every
eight high school girls will have to
go into nursing schools if this quota
is to be met.
