HYDE COUNTY HAD INTENSIVE
SEATS OF LEARNING FOR ITS
ARISTOCRACY 100 YEARS AGO
ademies Which Taught Greek, and Pre-
scented Shakespearean Plays Flourished at
Lake Landing Before the Civil War.

When one begins to seek facts
concerning the history and use
of the Lake Landing Masonic
Lodge building, or the Academy,
or Community building, as it is
variously called, he is met with
a confusing assortment of facts
and contributions.
Everyone agrees that it is one
of the oldest buildings in Hyde
County and well over a hundred
years old, everyone agrees that
1t was once school building and
one of the first in this area,
everyone agrees that it has had
a wonderfully useful existance
having served wealth of pur-
poses, school building, lodge hall,
library and community building,
housing clubs of all kinds, Sun
School parties, and church ba-
zaars, and almost everybody
seems to have had a father or
grandfather or uncle or some
relative to attend school there.
Further, no one agrees. Some
claim that the old school was
named Chapel Hill in honor of
an old chapel which stood on the
present location of Amity Metho-
dist Church. Others say that the
school was named Amity AGA
deny, still others would call it
Mattamuskeet Academy, and
others Indian Ridge Academy for
the section of ground on which
it stands was then called Indian
Ridge.
Some say that it is the earliest
school in this area but Miss Mag
gle and Bessie Watson of Engel-
hard have records of an Aca-
denny founded by one of their
ancestors, William Watson, in the
Piny Woods section in 100.
These ladies are sure that the
Lake Landing Academy was not
in exiStance at that time.
Piny Woods is an area, now
deserted, of forest not far from
Nebraska. 1t was an area of first
settlement in Hyde County ac-
cording to the Misses Watson.
Here William Watson came from
MARYLAND to start the Hyde
County School he called Rush
Academy, probably because it
was located near the marshes.
Classics were taught in addition
to the Three RS, spelling, higher
mathematics, penmanship and
surveying.
In those days, Miss Maggie
vatson says, this was new
!. 1ntry, land was being acquir-
: and county boundaries fixed
and surveying was a regular part
of a school curriculum. William
Watson's two sons, Samuel and
Isreal. assisted him with the
teaching.
Although the actual dates
have been lost it is sure that the
Lake Landing academy must
have been founded sometime in
the early 1700's shortly after
Rush Academy. Papers recorded
in the Hyde County Courthouse
show the sale of land from nine
stock holders of the Mattamus-
keet Academy, John w. Litch-
field, Oliver Gibbs, David u.

Doc Collar History
Covers 500 Years
By Peter Boes

There is a mighty interesting
collection Of ancient dog collars
at the National Museum in Eur
ich, Switzerland. and there is
another at the Basle Museum.
These relics trace the various
uses of dog collars for the past
500 years and more.
There were wide metal collars.
studded with murderouS long
spikes. These were worn by dogs
in bearhuntS. ETC., as offensive
and defensive weapons. Broad
iron or brass collars, without
spikes, surrounded wolf-hunting
dogs necks. They served as
armor for the CANNES sensitive
throat when wolves slashed at It..
In certain regions of the South
and in the corners Of Eastern
Texas, there is an unwritten rule
that if a stray pig chooses to
join a herd. the original owner
cannot claim him unless he is
branded or earmarked. The
markings add much to establish
ownership, but the "hog dog
does far more. s +.
Dogs have been trained to rec
ognize swine from their. owners
herds, as readily as a collie in
the Scottish Highlands recog-
nizes his masters sheep. Through
the underbrush they gallop and
into and through strange grunt-
ing herds, cutting, out" and
driving home the pigs belonging
to them.
One method of bringing home
the swine Is to tease the leading
boar Of the herd to furious rage,
then trotting to the styes while
the boar thunders after in hot
pursuit and other hogs follow
him.
They have keen brains, these
ihoT dogs.

Some one at some time said not
to cut rhododendron blossoms
and not to trim the plants. This
is fallacious. In fact, some Of
the finest plants are those which
have been cut back to the ground
and then allowed to sprout from
the roots.

Life in the Country
OIdtimer's Advice on Calf Appreciated,
But He Should Visit The 40 Acres

! .
The "Old-time Southern Farm
err writes to tell me that I know
next to nothing about raising q
calf.
"Who ever heard Of q real
farmer bothering with a bucket
or a nipple to feed a calf when
the COW is standing around doing
nothing?" he wants to know.
All you have to do. he writes.
is to milk the COW a little and
then let in the calf. You should
know what the COW produces and
how much the calf eats. You
just guide your milking by those
facts.
That Is good advice, all right.
but I'm afraid the "Old-time
Southern Farmer" doesn't know
much about The 40 Acres.
Why. If I did what he advises
I would have to tear down the
fence around the calf shed every
time wanted it out to nurse the
COW.
I think I would rather pour a
little milk into a bucket and pass
it over the fence to the calf than
to do a minor carpenter job
twice a day.
There Is something else, too,
My Jersey COW. like most others
I've heard Of. saves her richest
milk until last. If MIXED out
a little, then let the calf finish
the job for me. he would be get
ting the best out of the deal.
It's true that I would be saved
a lot Of hand work, which sounds
most attractive. especially since
the last milk comes pretty hard
with my COW. still like that
cream and butter. and wouldn't
want to do anything that would
lessen my supply.

'Aristocrots of Gardens
Rhododendrons for This Area;
Cultural Suggestions Given
Flowers md Foliage Con Be Cut
For Superb House Decorations
'Aristocrots of Gardens
By Dr.. Fred O., Coe

RhododendronS as q group OF
flower shrubs unquestionably are
"the aristocrats of the garden"
The name means rose tree" at
once suggesting something un-
usual.
We are confining our meaning
of the name rhododendron to the
group of woody shrubs with
broad shiny and evergreen leaves.
Azaleas belong to the genus rho
dodendron, but are outside our
present consideration.
Almost all the rhododendronS
planted about homes and in gar
dens in the Washington area are
used as foliage plants and not as
Towering shrubs, hence there Is
little opportunity to see the bet
ter types of rhododendrons such
as the Londoners can see in the
rhododendron collection at Kew
Gardens.
There is a newly awakened in
terest in rhododendrons in Amer
lea as is evidenced by the forma-
ton of the Rhododendron Society
Of America which now has Mid
Atlantic Chapter.
Leaders in Hybridizine
Several individuals in the east
ern United States have been &C
tive in raising and hybridizing
rhododendrons which would be
hardly in a good portion of the
Eastern Seaboard. Dexter of
Cape Cod, Nearing of Delaware
and Joseph Gable Of Stewards
town, Pa, have each produced
outstanding hybrids.
We have growing in our gar
den, Coeswold, in Bethesda. ex-
amples of many Of Cables hy-
birds and a few from Dexter.
Some of the Gable hybrids are
now available locally in the trade.
The much planted native rho
dodendron, Maximum (Great
LAUREL, is a good foliage plant
but it's rose pink flowers bloom
late in June when the heat in
Washington is so great that the
bloom is small and withers
quickly. It is not recommended
except as a foliage plant.
A second native rhododendron
from the southern Appalachia
is rhOdOdendrOn catawbienSe.
A more compact shrub, with
more and better bloom than r.
maximum.
The following is a list Of
named hybrids which are prov
ing hardy in Washington gar
dens and are available in East
ern nurseries:

For the real rhododendron
enthusiast there are many
species which are hardy in this
area and add much to q collec-
ton.
Cultural Hints
The soil should be well
drained, having an acidity such
as that found under oak. dog
wood or pine trees which in
cludeS practically all the soil
in the Washington area. Rhodo-
demons do not tolerate lime.
During dry seasons water
freely, allowing the water to fall
on the leaves. Mulch freely
with oak leaves. sawdust or peat
moss. Rhododendrons can be
fertilized with commercial ferti-
lizer especially prepared for
"broadleaf evergreenS." Do not
use fertilizers after June as too
much soft growth will result late
in the season.
The flowers can be cut anC

Some Choice Recordings
For Year Are Listed
By jones 6. Deone

Mass Of Life" Westminster

a rousing rendition Of Wal
tons "Belshazzar's Feast" A.
beautiful recording of Bach's
B minor mass-the best to
date--and another excellent
one Slightly cut) Of Han
del's Messiah" came from
Angel. And the Haydn So
ciety produced an exhilarating
disc containing the TIE Deum
and other music of the early
French composer, Marc-An-
tome Charpentier.
For vocal music on a smaller
scale, have found refreshing
the two lieder discs by Nine.
Schwarzkopf and her record Of
Strauss Four Last Songs and
the final scene from "Capric-
cio," from Angel: the record
Of songs by Brahms and Dvo-
rak by Amy Felbermayer
Vanguard, and Westminster's
recording Of Beethoven's Egg
mont music. Schoenberg's
"Gurrelieder," from the Haydn
Society, and Stravinksy's "Pul-
cinella," from Columbia, also
are Of interest.
The Budapest Quartet as
usual has managed to walk
away with chamber : music
honors, with its recordings Of
the 18th, 18th and 18th quar-
tets Of Schubert. Also attrac-
tive are Westminster's record
ings Of Mozart's "A Musical

X. 496, 500, 542 and 548; Co
lumbia's Of the Mozart quin-
tet. K. 452, played by Serkin
and members Of the Philadel-
phia Orchestra'S wind section,
and the Telefunken issue Of
Mozart's serenade for 13 winds.
Hindemith's "Kleine Hammer
musk" on Capitol Is another
worthwhile issue.
The splendid pairing Of the
Bartok and Prokofieff third
