The whole idea at once assumed its natural

Then she gasped.

Atop the pile of wood the new American car

The interpreter was standing behind Lily.

you mean he's going to burn up the carr"
Lily demanded incredulously.

She paused for the interpreter to interpret.

Finally. he stopped, and with immense shy
ness removed a small object from his loin-
cloth and presented it to her.
For me?" Lily exclaimed and automatically
took few steps forward as she weighed in her
mind how to thank him.
Suddenly the boy cried desperately. HAP
ana! Habamar'
Lily raised her eyes, They had emerged
from the woods and stood above large natural
arena hemmed around by low hills. In the
center men were busily engaged in erecting
what looked like funeral pyre.
Abous agitation was intense With obvious
reluctance he put out his hands. turned her

That must be where they're

unused. 'Oh, bother" she said
to the boy, Il didn't see any
thing / shouldn't have. Don't
get so worked up"
But Abou was silent, eyes
downcast, and as soon as they
reached the village he darted
away into the woods.
Lily found the three men in a
huddle inside the hut.
'"LOOK," said Tim. Il got a
chance to peek at that car when
there was nobody around. I'm
practically certain there's moth
ing wrong with it except it's out
of gas. And found this behind
an old hut"
He held up a rusty can Iium-
phanuy.
What is it," asked Lily.
Gas" said Tim.
Lily sat down on a bed heavily.
That funeral pyre had just be-
gun to assume significance in her
mind. In the omnivorous read
ing of accounts of Africa she had
undertaken before her journey.
she had come across many a
strange tale. The King had said
she had come down from the
skies. Maybe they thought she
was a goddess. Maybe the nat
ural destination of a goddess
was ceremonial funeral pye.
Hide that tin. Tim, and hold
on to it," she said darkly. 1T
may save all our lives"
lHE three male members of the
party approached the festivities
with a jovial air. Not so Lily.
Though normally of a practical
turn of mind, the circumstances
we're unusual. The night was i'm
mense and exotic. Strange birds
were screaming in the nearby
trees.
Strange human shouts came
from a'short distance. She and
her companions were helpless in
land they did not know. 1t was
not to be wondered that she
shivered and seemed to hear the
flames licking the funeral pyre.
There was nothing to be done,
however, but 60 to the party.
They could not set off alone on
foot. They would be speedily
overtaken. if such were the in
tentions of the King.
Lily shrugged and put on some
more lipstick. A very comfort
ing thing. the homely. familiar
lipstick in an alien land.
II was not until she was Sc

The Little Red
Schoolhouse Is
Losing Caste
U. s. Finds Many Are Being Given
Up, But Won't Call Trend I'm
mixed Blessing
Ry AssocIated Press


The little red schoolhouse is be-
ing torn down or abandoned at the
rate of several thousand a year, the
United States Office of Education
says. There were 100000 one
teacher schools in 1916 and fewer
than $4,000 today.
Even so, says DR.. Walter H.
Gaumnitz, education Office special
ist in small and rural high schools,
As per cent of all the schools in the
/ United States are still of the one
teacher type.
Generally speaking, says DR..
Gaumnitz, Education Office spe-
oialist, more schools are cOnsOli-
dating to establish larger schools
with more highly trained teachers.
This involves bus transportation to
outlying districts. In 1918 schools
transported 100000 children. Now
more than 100000 children are
being transported annually.
Half Are In DakOtas
In the last thirty years, says DR..
Gaumnitz, the number Of One-teach-
er schools has decreased by 80 per
cent or more in Ohio, Washington,
! Maryland and Indiana. On the other
hand, fewer than one out of every
three such schools has been elimi-
mated in South and North Dakota,
! Nebraska, Illinois and Wisconsin.
I'VE find nearly so per cent of
the classrooms Of the One-rOOm
type in South Dakota and North
Dakota" says DR.. Gaumnitz. "In
Nebraska and Iowa they still con-
stitute more than three classrOOms
out of every ten, and in Kansas,
Vermont, Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Missouri one or more in four"
Almost 100000 children still at
tend the one-teacher schools. Ken
lucky and Illinois have more than
100000 pupils attending such
schools. Iowa has more than 10000,
and Wisconsin, Missouri and Min
nesota each more than $4,000.
Not "Unmixed Blessing"
at would not be fair to say that
/ the dWindling. of the One-teacher
school is entirely an unmixed bless
ing" DR.. Gaumnitz explains. "In
it's day it served the nation very
well, indeed. 1t brought the three
RS to every rural community, how
ever isolated. 1t formed a neigh
bOrhOOd center, it was near to the
(, farmers homes, it was organized
on the basis of family setting.
"The larger schools are often in
Ordinately long distances from the
children's homes. Special efforts
are required to bring the parents
into these more distant schools
often enough to aid the teachers
