There's More Reward
In Teaching Adults
BY Lucy NJ. Baisden

TEACHING adults to make
l. decorative articles of
metal or plastic is in some
ways more rewarding than
working with junior high
school pupils, say two Mont
gomery County men who have
had experience with students
of both types. William H.
Standiford, art metals in
structor, and Otis c. White,
plasticS instructor, conduct
classes one night a week at
the Takoma Junior High
School as part of the county's
adult education program.

Mr.. Standiford says that
most of the adults who come
for instruction know prac-
tically nothing about the sub
ject they want to study. They
may have seen articles turned
out by other students or per-
haps be personally acquainted
with one of them. Latent
ability, of course, varies great

comes in who is incapable of
acquiring the basic skills
needed. But Mr.. Standiford

CENSUS FIGURES READIED
 FOR CONFER E:NCE

For the first time since incep- ton of the old Biological Survey in Alaska, the agency into which it was incorporated in 1940-the Fish and Wildlife Service-will give an estimate of the caribou popula- ton in the Territory, it was reveal ed today.
 The figures will be presented at the fifteenth North American Wild life Conference, to be held in San Francisco March 6 to 8. by Urban c. Nelson, service biologist.
 Nelson is the first man sent of ficially by the service to any of the annual meets. He will be ac- companied by Robert F. Scott, his assistant in Anchorage, and David |. Spencer, refuge official at Ken ai The latter are going at their own expense, and both will read rapers on wildlife matters in the north.
 Nelson has attended numerous gatherings of the conference "on his own" to meet with biologists, game management officials and others connected with wildlife work.
 Besides game problems, the men will hear papers on salmon in Oregon, the British Columbia flsn- ,ries problem, and Florida marine resources.
 Scott will present a paper on The Gsatus of Caribou and Dall ~leer in Alaska" prepared by Win ston A. Elkins, Edward F. Chate- lain and Scott, all of whom are FWS officials.
 A second paper, Bear Moose Re- lationship on the Kenai Peninsu- la,' by Chatelain, will be read by Nelson. This will deal with the killing of moose calves by bear in the area.
 Nelson will also be represented on the Pacific Waterfowl Fly way Committee, to discuss migra- .ory bird problems from the Alaska viewpoint
 While caribou have for years been under constant surveillance by the service, an attempt to number them has been precluded by conditions beyond their control Recent sur veys made by plane, on foot, and by interviews with herders of dom estic caribou have enabled them to come up with what is believed to be an accurate estimate Of the current population.

That was the autopsy report to- day of veterinarian w. o. Bower man on the beast which kept zoo officials and hunters on edge for nearly three days.
 Bowerman said the leopard died Of a collapsed lung brought on by extreme exertion and depression following the excitement Of the chase. The veterinarian said drug used in bait which the animal ate when it returned to the zoo early yesterday did not cause the death.
 Bowerman also added that his examination disclosed that the ani- nal had pneumonia a year or two ago while in the India jungle. He discovered scar tissue.
 And he added that the leopard would have required much handling because of his ailment and being a mean beast might have hurt some one working on him.
 Tt is better that he died now" Bowerman said.
 The crafty creature escaped from his prison pit at the Lincoln Park Zoo Saturday.
 His leap from the 18-foot deep pit, as a group of children looked on, set off a wave of excitement which had a nation grasping for news on the hunt which followed for the jungle-killer.
