the possibility of having mobile

methods in the field of reading,
emphasized that outstanding
teaching would eliminate or pre-

the prisoners were being deliber-
ately starved.
AS the Yank troops advanced
through the Philippines rescue for
the desperate prisoners at Santa
Tomas came none too soon.
Through the Filipino guerrillos,
General Macarthur learned that,
rather than allow the prisoners to
be rescued, the Japs We're making
plans to liquidate them. Just be-
fore dawn broke on the morning of
February %, 1945, guerillos sur
rounded the prison camp awaiting
the arrival of American para
troops. 1t was a ticklish situation
because if the attack failed to
come off in rapid fire order, there
could be no hope held out for the
survival of the prisoners. 1t was
indeed, case of $50 near and yet
SO far. The signal for the armed
guerillo attack was given when
the first paratroops began to de-
scend a short distance away. The
Filipinos invaded the camp and
methodically killed or wounded all
but ten or fifteen of the Jap guards
and when the Yanks arrived the
prisoners were quickly herded into
amphibious tanks to be taken back
to the American lines. Mr.. Osbon
says that seeing these American
soldiers after so long a time was
the most beautiful sight he ever
saw and his first impulse was to
embrace the first CT that he could
reach. 1t was later learned that
the Japanese had planned to ma
chine-gun their prisoners that very

The need for early diagnosis and
discovery of reading difficulties
was stressed by Mrs. Ruth r. Tyn-

cation, in a Remedial Reading
Conference of teachers and admin
istrators of the schools of the
State held in. the Legislative Hall
at Dover. DR.. George R. Miller,
Jr., State Superintendent of Public
Instruction, in summarizing the
conference said that many reading
problems begin when the child is
presented with formal reading in

iologically or psychologically
ready. Readiness is a basic con-
sideration in all of our teaching,

Since coming to Smyrna as head
of the music department in Smyr-

the size of the school band from
about thirty members to over
eighty and last year organized

was also in charge of music educa-
tion at an Episcopal school which
catered only to American children
Having spent a lifetime of study
in the field of music in schools
stretching from the midwest to
New York University he was well
qualified for his position in the
Philippine Islands.
When the Japs took Manila
early in 1912, Mr.. Osbon, alons
with other American nationals
just sat and waited to see what
would happen. He soon found out
for fifteen minutes after the city
was occupied by enemy troops a
Jap officer, two soldiers and in in
terpreter came to his apartment
and told him he was being taken
into custory. This was on Janu-
ary z, 1912. When Mr.. Osbon ask
ed how long he would be held, the
Jap officer replied three days
which proved to be three years and
three months. When Bert Paul
Osbon stepped out of his comfort
able Manila apartment that day
with the Japanese officer he was
never to see it again. Running
true to form, the Japs soon looted
and burned his home and Mr.. Os-
bon lost everything he had in the
world.
He was taken to Santa Tomas
prison camp along with many
other Americans and during his in
ternment he was in the prison hos
pital exactly eight times suffering
from malnutrition. Mr.. Osbon says
the prison camp was pretty
rough and the food and treatment
were extremely bad and many died
from malnutrition and diseases re-
sulting from it." But all was not
quite as bad as it could have been.
MIR. Osbon says, 1--WE did manage
to have some good times-not
through any effort of the Japs i
but through our own. I had charge
of music for religious services--the
Japs did allow us this privilege
and I held class for $50 adults in
''music appreciation"
During the entire three years in

ceived only one Red Cross food

of such packages that the Japan

seven months old; but the alley in
which he lived had one distinction.
At a certain season, women young
and old conducted in the back yards
which faced it a carnival and bazaar
for sweet charity. For this years
carnival, Mrs. Warder and Miss
Pristeen presided owe an animal
fair, and toy birds and beasts were
there.
The alley cat made friends with
Mrs. Warder, and she suggested to
Miss Pristeen that he be put up as
first prize in a lottery. WED make
some money; and it would get him
a decent home, too" she argued.
Miss Pristeen said gambling in all
forms was wrong, but decided at last
that charity condoned such venial
sins.
The little girl-whose name was
Alice, who was 10 years old, who
lived in a third-floor tenement down
behind Beacon Hill-came to the
fair. She walked all the way. Alice
had two dimes saved up out of her
salary of a penny a week for mind
ing baby brother while her mother
went out by the day. She brought
n of them, in cas- she wanted to
buy something.
WHEN she saw the cat, he was in
w a parrots cage of which the
former tenant was defunct, and he
was unhappy about being there.
Alice approached the cage and
pushed her finger between the wires.
The cat eyed this somewhat grubby
finger suspiciously, smelled it, licked
it in an experimental way, and
found the flavor-it may have been
just buttered toast-delicious.
Miss Pristeen said severely, "Now
little girl, you mustn't tease Pussy!
Do you wish to take a chance in the
lottery?"
A moment later, the nature of a
lottery having been explained to
her, Alice's dime had been ex-
changed for a bit of cardboard num-
bered "21." Miss Pristeen turned to
another customer; but Mrs. Warder
smiled at Alice, and Alice asked,
whats its name, please'm?"
Mrs. Warder liked even scrubby,
thin, pale little girls. Suppose we
call him Peter?" she suggested.
do O think I'll win him?"
WELL" Mrs. Warder said, remem-
bering Miss Pristeen's pep talk on
how to push sales, "of course, if you
had two tickets, you'd have a much
better chance!"
But Alice had left her other dime
at home, and home was far away
She sat near Peter for a while, jus
watching him; but Peter rubbed
against the wires on the side near
est her and purred and was wonder
full, so at last Alice went home. /
was a long walk back over the Hill
and down to the tenement where sh
lived. When she came back she sal,
to Mrs. Warder:
"Please'm, I'd like to buy anothe
ticket on Peter. I had two dime
saved up, but l only brought on
this morning, because 1 didn't war
to spend all my money, but l wer
home and got the other one, becaus
I'd rather have Peter than any
thing"
MRS. WARDER gulped and sal,

doesn't win Peter, 1t VIII be a trag-
edyi We must fix it so she does"
Miss Pristeen said severely, We'll
do nothing of the kind. We can't
deliberately cheat all these other
people. They trusted us, you know"
mot one of them wants it as
much as she does"
Don't be sentimental!" Miss
Pristeen stalked away.
Alice stayed all day by Peters
cage, watching him, watching the
people who bought tickets in the
lottery; a quiet little girl with very
big, anxious eyes.
Miss Pristeen came to Mrs. Warder
about 4 o'clock. 81 can't find the
duplicate numbers for the lottery
ON that cat," she confessed. 'sWill
you take care of things for a few
minutes while I write out a fresh
set?"
Mrs. Warder nodded, and Miss
Pristeen sent for a pad of paper,
tore sheets into squares about two
inches on a side, wrote a number
on each, and folded each one twice.
She put them in her handbag for
safe keeping.
About half-past four Mrs. Warder
asked her, did you make a fresh
set of numbers?" Miss Pristeen
nodded. "How will we work the
d~rawing?" Mrs. Warder inquired.
"Tl put the numbers in a hat"
Miss Pristeen explained, land you
draw one, and read it."
Cant you put that child's num-
Der or top, OF something's"
MISS PRISTEEN looked at her
IVA coldly and turned away. Mrs.
Warder began to hate her as gentle
souls may hate firm ones. Her mouth
set in a determined line, and she
found an opportunity presently to
tear a sheet of paper off that pad
without being seen.
When the time for the drawing
came, a laughing crowd gathered to
watch; but Alice stayed near Peter.
Miss Pristeen borrowed a hat,
dumped the folded slips into it,
stirred them vigorously, and held
the hat high. Mrs. Warder drew a
slip, turned her back on Miss Pris-
teen, unfolded the paper, and said
very loudly, 'The winner of this
wonderful cati Number 59l"
Alice cried in shrill, breaking
tones, "Oh, is he mine? Is he mine?
See, / have number 59!"
Mrs. Warder said, defiantly, her
back still toward Miss Pristeen,
"Yes, of course he is yours"
Alice put her arms around the
cage. She said, "Oh, Peter, you're
mine!" Mrs. Warder and IL other
women blew their noses, and 9 men
coughed very loud, and everyone
laughed to see Alice take Peter ten
derby out of his cage into her arms
where he seemed glad to be, ano

Everyone but Miss Pristeen. She
caught Mrs. Warder's arm, twitchec
her around, said in a furious whis
