Retiring 7eocher.Soys Loxity
In Schools Harms Education

The proper amount of labora-
tory work has been taken out of
chemistry courses and the
mathematics out of physics, he
asserted. He said it was almost
impossible to collect 10 students
to take trigonometry.
While a pass 'em regardless"
attitude might work in history,
he pointed out, "you can't go on
to geometry without a knowledge
of algebra" He said he felt
the school system was not turn
ing out the educated people it
should.
Mr.. Krehbiel maintained that
the deciding factor of a school
system was what the student
knew. He told of giving his class
a test last year with a rsultant
average of 40. He said he heard
that fraternity and sorority
members took the view that
'Krehbiel can't fail all of US"
He discouraged that rumor, he
related, and the second test
produced a 10 average.
Corning Is Reticent.
DR.. Corning said he had no
comment to make, other than to
say he thought Mr.. Krehbiel's
opinion was "at variance with
that held by other people"
He said he intended to take no
action on the matter, and that
the retired teacher was entitled
to express his opinion"
The teacher said he hoped next
fall, around the time of school
opening, to see If there were
others who feel as he does who
would be willing to join as a
committee and make up an alter
nate school program.
Nobody wants to think about
school in the summer" he said.
Mr.. Krehbiel has a 140-acre
farm at Centerville, Va.

Gen. Collins Joins
Dulles Aides Taking
Message 10 Rhee

Walter S. Robertson, Assistant
Secretary of State for Far East
ern Affairs, took off for Korea
today for consultations with
South Korean President Syng-
man Rhee.
Travelling as the special rep
resentative of President Eisen-
hover and Secretary of State
Dulles, Mr.. Robertson carried
with him a message from Mr..
Dulles to the South Korean
president, presumably setting
forth the Governments attitude
to the latest developments in the
Korean situation.
Accompanying him were Carl
w. McCardle, Assistant Secre-
tary of State for Public Affairs,
and Kenneth T. Young, director
of the Northeast Asian section
of the State Department. A
fourth passenger, added at the
last minute, was Gen. Lawton j.
Collins. The State Department
said the chief of staff was on
a purely military mission to con-
fer with Gen. Mark w. Clark,
United Nations commander in
Tokyo, followed by a possible
trip to U. N. headquarters in
Korea.
Before boarding his military
transport plane, Mr.. Robertson
issued the following statement:
Il am flying to Korea as a per-
sonal representative of the Presi-
dent and Secretary of State in
response to a personal invita-
ton from President Rhee. I
will discuss with Gen. Clark and
Ambassador Ellis L. Briggs as
well as with President Rhee and
the other Korean leaders, all as
poets of the situation in Korea
where we and the Korean people
have fought and sacrificed heav-
lily for three years.
I'm this way, my visit should
enable us in Washington to have
a f1rst-hand and up-to-date pic
ture of how things stand in
Korea. I hope that my visit will
also give Gen. Collins and Am
baSsador Briggs-aS well as
President Rhee-the clearest pic
ture Of the views of the United
States Government"
1t was understood that Mr..
Dulles message to the Korean
President was worked out in
close coordination with the,
White House. The invitation for
the visit was received last week
before the release by the ROK
government of some $4,000 North
Korean war prisoners.

A newly-retired veteran Dis
trict school teacher expressed the
view today that things have
been sliding" in the local school
system to the point where edu-
cation is suffering.
Elmer H. Krehbiel, who re-
tired Friday after 81 years serv-
ice, asserted that the faculty of
the schools has been hampered
by indecision at school admin
istration headquarters.
He said also that life has been
made too easy for students.
Mr.. Krehbiel taught chemistry
and physics at Mckinley High
School from 1923 to 1850, and
then was chemistry instructor
at Eastern High School. He is
a 1915 graduate of Mckinley.
Cites Delay on Decision.
He said that School Supt. Ho-
bart M. Corning and the asso-
ciate and assistant superintend-
ents should be reminded daily
that "the focus of the school
system is the point where the
teacher meets the child in the
classroom"
He told of a time when, after
a decision had been sought for
hours, Mckinley girl cadets were
marched on the athletic field at
Eastern High School in the rain
before word came from the ad-
ministration building that the
competition had been postponed.
The teacher said that he re-
ceived his annual rating from
supervisors who never came in
his class. He said he was rated
satisfactory" in everything ex-
cept that I didn't take care of
the health of my students" Mr..
Krehbiel said he had no idea
what that meant.

subscription to your newspa-
per so that I might have an
opportunity to read the RICH,

enjoy your column immensely.
! only wish our local newspa-

In q recent issue some one
asked how to keep stainless
steel and copper pans clean
and shining. I have quite a
collection of these pans that I
keep on a rack out in the open
in my kitchen and never have
cause to be ashamed of their
appearance because some
months ago I discovered a
harmless cleanser that Is
rubbed on the wet pan with a
paper towel and then rinsed
off. The pan must be dried
Immediately or the copper will
spot. No hard rubbing is
necessary unless quite an in
terval has gone between pol
ishings. This cleanser has the

sOFTENING SUGAR
CRAYoN MARKS?
HOUSE GUESTS.


mrs. Z. J. M, Washington
So many readers have writ
ten in about brown sugar
hardening that I would like
to share my secret with them.
Many years ago my grand
mother told me that when ]
purchased a box of brown
sugar to always pinch the
box to see if it was soft, 9TH
erwise not to. buy It,.
I always do this and keep
the box in the ice box as she
told me to do and in all the
years that I have kept house
I have never had q box Of
"hard" sugar.
Please-can some reader tell
me how to remove crayon
marks from wall paper?
When I have guests COM
ing to visit I take a piece Of
paper for each day that they
will be here and on 1t I put
the menus for each meal. This
is the best way to do and
when meal time comes there
is no problem Of what to serve.
AS our guests usually arrive
on Saturday. sometimes for
lunch, sometimes in time for
dinner, I try and plan the
meals in accordance with the
timing Of an automobile.
If for lunch I find ham,
burgers and frozen French
fries are the easiest to fix.
Serve coffee or other beverages
and q simple dessert.
If coming for dinner I try
to keep it easy as there is al
ways so much visiting that
the hostess enjoys being in on.
I serve chow mein (home-
made) with ingredients pre-
pared in advance. With this
I serve hard rolls and usually
roquefort cheese salad (th1S
also can be creamed and left
In ice box), olives, pickles,
maybe radishes, and apple pie,
which can be baked in the
morning, and. your beverage.
Always make q cake, coffee
cake, and q batch Of cookies.
Have q roast for Sunday
that can be cooked In pressure
cooker. This. will be ready by
the time the table is set and
the rest Of the dinner is on
the stove.
Make q large ring mold
salad, which serves eight, on
Saturday (this gives you two
meals. For dessert, an ice
box frozen dessert or ice box
cake is always welcome. In
about two days make more
ice box salads and desserts
before you retire, and the last
day ice cream in melon Is
delicious and no trouble at all.
Fried chicken can be pre-
pared very easily. The new
frozen hash brown potatoes
are delicious and liked by
every one and I always serve
frozen vegetables. Ali the fuss
and muss Is eliminated this
way.

To the person who wanted
to know about suburbs around
Pittsburgh. BY all means try
Mount Lebanon. To me, prop
erty is not so expensive as in
suburban Washington II you
consider the best residential
communities. Schools are ex-
cellent. Transportation is bet
ter than nearby Washington
and the climate is better in
summer. I lived in Pittsburgh
all my life and know that is
one Of the incest places around
Pittsburgh.
Now. about a good ant re-
pellant. I wrote q chemical
company which I read about
in RCH located in Missouri.
They stated 1t could be pur-
chased in q chain drugstore in
Washington. I took their word
for it, and destroyed the letter.
However, the chain stores do
not carry it now. It begins
with T and ends with O. Does
anybody know where you can
get that ant repellant? II not,
where was the city in Mis-
souri,? I have lost the former
clipping giving the informa-
ton in the paper, and de-
stroyed my letter, and forget
the name of the city where
the chemical company is To-
Gated. I used this repellant
years ago, and I know it is ex- /.
cellent, but haven't been able
to get it lately. / think you
can buy It direct from the
chemical company in Missouri,
If not available here.
NY1ON.
mrs. v. C. r., WGshingtonJ
hope some one can help me
solve q problem Of restoring
crispneSs to nylon ruffied cur
tains. The rufled curtains
were purchased at q we'll
known department store. They
laundered beautifully; but they
have become yellow and hang
limp. AS I purchased Q bed
spread which is nice and crisp,
the difference is rather obvious.
The store seems to know no
remedy. I certainly would ap-
preciate some suggestion, the

was one I sent in some time

finished going over all stained
woodwork and furniture and
1t looks lovely. Here it is:
One quart warm water, 3 ia

out Of the solution and polish
with a soft, dry cloth. The
results are well worth the ef-

State Agency Wants
Gas Well Regulation

State Senators We're asked last
Friday to allow state regulation
Of natural gas production to pre-
vent "vultures" from exploiting
fields discovered by others and
running the underground supply.
Dr. Joseph T. Singewald. J., di-
rector of the Department of
Geology, Mines and Water Re
sources, again backed legislation
which he said was so mistakenly
suppressed two years ago SINCE
valid and two natural gas producers
appealed to the Senate Judiciary
committee to approve bill that
would give the geology department
power to issue permits and regu-
late spacing and plugging Of wells.
Senator Fraley from this county
forestalled action by requesting an
opportunity for other witnesses to
testify. He indicated he wanted his
county exempted and said many
objected to comforting complete
control over this business to some
body down in Baltimore"
So far the only successful natural
gas wells in Maryland have been
dug i'm Garrett county Production

delivery in 1919. Singewald said its
production is near its end. Other
fields are potential producers in
this county and also in Aliegany
