COLUMBUS. Ohio, Sept. So
Fifth grade school children the
world over-if they learned then
lessons last week-now know there
are such things as flying saucers
They know because then
newspaper" told them so.
Their newspaper is My Weekly
Reader, published by the Ameri-
can Education Press of Columbus
one of the oldest educational pub
fishing houses in the United
States. 1t is required reading ir
many schools.
The newspaper goes to schools
in every State and SIS foreign
countries. Just how many, the
company won't say.
My Weekly Reader for the Sep
tember 1922 week, carried ar
article by tom Trott," a frankly
fictitious character, on flying
saucers.
Tom Trott" told his youthful
readers:
This week. we are at an airport
on the Atlantic Coast. The most
exciting thing we have seen is
flying Saucers.'
Expected to Help Country.
For several years, people in
many parts of our country have
claimed to have seen flying saucers.
The Government proved that some
of these people were imagining
things. However. I am now al
lowed to tell you that some flying
saucers are real. They belong to

our Air Force. They will some
day be a big help to our country
("Tom Trott" and other
writer's to the contrary, the Air
Force has said and repeated:
1--WE have investigated all re-
ports of flying saucers and find
nothing to substantiate any of
them.")
Why, then, did the publishing
house-which has a 50-year tradi-
ton of responsibility to the young
sters it serves-publish such a
story?
Says Miss Eleanor M. Johnson
managing editor of elementary
school publications:
1.-THE staff is convinced that
flying saucerS most certainly are
among this nations experimental
aircraft, and
"Our correspondent had one
idea in mind and that thought
was to calm any hysterical fears
some children might have built
up from hearing too much talk
about mysterious flying objects
from other planets or deadly
flying weapons of our enemies. F"

Trott's' motive to overcome a
deluge of humbuggery afloat in
our land which is calculated to
exploit superstition and ignor-

Here are some other things
''Trott's" article told the fifth
graders about flying saucers:
Flying saucers are made in
several sizes. The smallest ones
are six inches thick. The big ones
are about as far across as the
width of four or five city lots.
Some of the saucers are raised
in the middle like pie. Others
turn up around the edge like a
saucer. They leave no trail of
light or smoke. They make no
sound. They are harmless.
These strange flying things
are made of material which dis
solves after being in the air for a
while. For this reason, the
