GU Medical Gets
$3.50 for Research

Georgetown University'S Med
ical School has received a $3.50
Public Health Service grant for
further research in the expert
mental production of benign and
malignant bone tumors.
The work now is being carried
on under the direction of DR.
Charles F. Geschickter. This is
the fourth year the Public Health
Service has underwritten this re-
search project.
DR.. Geschickter said he and his
associates have succeeded in pro-
ducing bone tumors in dogs
through traction. He said this is
the first time such tumors have
been artificially induced in this
way.
Under the traction process
metal pins are inserted, stretch
ing the bone of the dogs leg. The
first such tumor appeared after
the pins had been in place about
nine months, he said. Tumors
appear on the surface of the bone
where the big muscle is attached
he said.
Idea Of using the traction proc
ess to induce tumors was sug-
gested by the appearance of SIM
liar tumors in some children dur
ing the time of their most rapid
growth, he said.
Bone tumors have also been in
duced by planting radium needles
against the bone.
DR.. Geschickter pointed out the
project was far from completed,
and no conclusions have been
drawn or tendencies indicated.

WE INSIST-OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM
IS NOT ELABORATE

IS NOT ELABORATE
IN THREE editorials, the Avis attempted to present the
local side to Senator Buffers Report. The effort made was in
keeping with a policy of looking things squarely in the face,
and with a determination to go beneath the surface. Three
phases OF island life were touched upon, the political educa-
tional and agricultural, the last being treated in that manner
because of the belief that agriculture is ninety per cent of our
economy.
IN ANSWER to the views set forth as to education, Mrs.
I. |. Byrd Larsen, Superintendent of Education, has written
(Avis, March l2) attempting to set the record straight. This
is somewhat as we had hoped because all too frequently our
people are too hesitant to set forth their views where thew NAV
be seen, understood and felt. However, it appears to us that
the exact point of our editorial of February 81 was somewhat
misunderstood the attempt there was to correct the impress
sion which Sen. Buffers Report might leave in that we have
here an elaborate, expensive school system"
IT IS GOOD to know that our cmricula have improved
and that they are being improved with time. However, rea-
hzlng that over thirty years have passed since the American
occupation, and that millions of dollars have been poured into
the system, til our contention that our system, improved as it
is, should have been farther along the road. Nor is this chal-
lenge to the present officials. They should by now know that
this paper has always taken a most understanding attitude
towards the school system, and made every effort to win pub
lie support and cooperation for it. It must be remembered
that these present officials are the inheritors of a system
which from its inception might have presented most difficult
and delicate problems. Under the circumstances they have
done very we'll indeed.
WHILE IT IS TRUE that the woodworking will grad
ually develop into our course in carpentry J" contends Mrs.
Larsen, this course should have been at least Is or 20 wears
old, and one of the most fully developed courses, along with
others on the vocational Level. There can be no denying that
we cannot meet the challenge for skilled, capable and fully
qualified artisans, and such a condition seems deplorabIe to
people like Senator Butler, and with considerable irstifica-
ton. This is the condition of which we speak, in trying to say
, 1951-03-14

elaborate, and wasteful of
money.
MRS. LARSEN'S letter is
well taken. It shows that great
strides are being made along
all lines, and particularly the
vocational. We hasten to ex-
tend credit to her, to Mrs.
Caroline, principal Markoe &
those who work closely in try
ing to give US the best possible
system under the circum-
stances and conditions. Our
editorial was in an attempt to
clear the air in so far as GER
tain readers are concerned
who would take literally Sena-
tor Buffers statements in his
Report. There was no attempt
made on our part to diScredit,
or even to misunderstood.
MANY public high schools
throughout the mainland have
elaborate systems. These in
clude large auditoriums with
fully equipped stage facilities,
gymnasiums with every mod
ern convenience, including
swimming pools, military and
dance bands, and even SYM
phony orchestras. In these
$ chools specially qualified
councillors guide students in
their many problems, and
special aptitudes are noted
and directed. We assure oua.
readers on the mainland that
we here in St. Croix and the
Islands are far from such.
While we have a very good
teaching system, and our stu
dents make good wherever
they 60, yet there is much to
be done.
WE believe that on second
thought Senator Butler him
self would agree that our sys-
tenn is neither elaborate nor
expensive"

Indian chants penetrated the
still of the night.
: At dawn of the 18th, the In
dianS were back and the battle
was resumed with renewed Wig
or. Most of the troopers were
suffering from thirst, and the
wounded especially were in
great need of water. DIR. Porter,
the one surviving surgeon, ask
ed that water be obtained at
any cost. Camp kettles and
canteens were gathered togeth-
er, and a group of volunteers
moved down a deep ravine to
the river. Four sharpshooters
stood on a high point to draw
the Indians fire and also to
protect the water carriers with
their own fire. The move was
successful, and the wounded
were cared for. The 10 men
who participated in this oper-
alton were later awarded Con-
gressional Medals of Honor for
this heroic action.
The battle contin d
throughout the forenoon and
into the afternoon. It was at
this time that the warriors be-
gan to Withdraw, leaving only
a small group to keep up oc-,
casional firing. Late in the aft
ernoon, the Indians fired the
grass in the valley, and when
the cloud of smoke lifted the
troops watched with relief the
departure of the entire Indian
encampment. The long process
sion of ponies and tepee pole
travels went slowly trailing off
toward the Bighorn Mountains,
and before darkness enveloped
them the last of the Indians
had disappeared from sight.
About a dozen of the men
who had been left behind by.
Reno'S force during the flight
from the valley on the after
noon Of the 18th had hidden in
the brush to prevent detection
by the Indians. Some were able
to gain the bluffs on the night
of the 18th, but several were
trapped until the night of the
18th, after the Indians moved
off. During the 2 days, Reno
and Benteen had lost 80 men
killed and A wounded.
Apparently, all the Indians
had departed, but the soldiers
moved with great caution to
avoid possible ambush by con-
cealed warriors. The horses and
mules were Watered for the
first time since before the bat
tie started. IA few men made
fires for coffee, and the posi-
ton on the bluff was moved
slightly and strengthened.

! came up to him and saw
That he had two camp kettles
completely riddled with bullets.
He had his gun in his hand and
his eyes fixed on the grove of
timber across the river, watch
ing for the enemy. On looking
him over I could see the reason
for his sitting and watching as
he did.
I discovered a pool of blood
a short distance from him
which had come from a terrible
wound in his leg. 1t was i'm
possible for him to move fur
ther without assistance. I asked
him how he had received his
wound.
He told me he had gone to
the river for water and when
he was coming up from the
bed of the river with his two
Kettles filled with water a vol
ley had been fired at him, one
of the bullets hitting him and
breaking his leg below the
knee, the others Kidding his
kettles. He had managed to
make his way under cover of
the ravine to the place where
I found him.
I then told him as it was my
turn now I would proceed to
business. He tried to disSuade
me, but as I would not go back
without water and it was use
less for me to remain where I
was, I laid down my canteens
and grasped the camp kettle
which I had left on my pre-
vious trip.
T walked forward looking in
to the grove for signs of IN
dians, but not a sign of life
could I see. Looking to see
where the water was deepest I
made a few long leaps which
landed me in the water with a
loud splash. I knew it was use
less for me to try to avoid be-
ing seen so 7 depended on my
ability to escape the bullets of
the Indians.
A volley was fired, but 7
again escaped. Madden, the
wounded man I had just left,
watched me with greatest in
terest. When I returned to him
I urged him to take a drink
but he refused to do so saying
he was not in need of it. This
caused me some surprise as T
knew he had lost a great deal
of blood which is almost in
yariably followed by great
I made haste to fill the can
teens and started on my way
to camp bidding Mike Madden
be of good cheer and he made
a cheerful reply. When I
reached the place of our de-
Tense 7 found that the firing
was not so brisk. Only a few
scattering shots now and then.
But our men were still on the
alert.
There was no weak place
left unguarded, no ammunition
was being wasted, although we
had "a boxes of ammunition
which amounted to thousands
of rounds. The men fired only
where they thought they were
going to do execution.
After leaving three canteens
for the wounded at the hospital,
tI~took the other two and gave

them to my wounded comrades.
After this I began to feel very
sick and looked for a sheltered
place to avoid the heat of the
sun.
I did not like to get under
the canvas where the wounded
were as that was already
crowded, so I craWled under
one of our horses which was
standing with a group of
others. I could not but wonder
what sort of fix I would be in
II the horse under which was
