SchooIroom 'Thuqs'

Hugh j. Smith, principal of Jefferson
Junior High, may have erred on the side
of reinstatement in abiding to vicious
young thugs in the Districts public
school system. There is no reason to be-
lieve, however, that he was also guilty Of
exaggerating the problem of dealing with
these pupils.
Mr.. Smith made it clear that this
problem is city-wide in scope, and is not
limited to Jefferson. Some of the trouble
making youngsters, according to Mr..
Smith, are "maladjusted." Others are
'just plain vicious" Together, they add
up to a situation Which can and does
disrupt a whole school,"
The question which this raises is an
obvious one. Why should problem"
children, or young thugs, be permitted
to interfere with and disrupt the educa-
ton Of other children?
The answer presumably would be
that the necessary facilities are lacking.
Three junior high schools have special
classes for these pupils, but this device
evidently is not working very we'll. There
are not enough of these classes. And
since the trouble-maker are still in the
schools with the other children, their
descriptive influence evidently cannot be
confined to the special classes.
Mr.. Smith said hat some thought
is being given to placing the problem
youngsters in a special school. One would
think that the school authorities would
be giving a great deal of thought to this
possibility. For if maladjusted and vicious
pupils are deemed to be a responsibility
Of the public school system, that reSpon-
sibility should not be discharged at the
price of d%isrupting the education of
other children. A special school, In which
the unmanageable youngsters could dis
rupt only their own education, would
seem to be the best solution within the
means available.

Revolution at Sea

The Nays disclosure that the sub
marine Nautilus, first atomic-powered
ship, has cruised $4,000 miles without
%refueling, and is still going strong, brings
dramatically to public attention the de-
veloping revolution in marine propulsion.
Atomic power not only offers ships almost
unlimited range, but end the difficulties
and risks of refueling at sea.
Refueling of Warships in combat
alton, both for the tankers assigned to
provide the fuel and for the ships in need
of replenishment. There was always the
danger of enemy submarine or air
attacks, to say nothing of normal hazards
of wind and sea. An atomic powered
vessel like the Nautilus, however, can
forget fuel problems for the duration of
a mission, or, as Admiral H. G. Rickover,
the Nays atomic reactor expert, has
said, for the duration of AN entire war"
When it is considered that a power
plant similar to that installed in the
Nautilus operated continuously for 2l2
years before a new atomic fuel charge
was necessary, the potentialities of
atomic propulsion are evident. Our Navy
is building several other atomic powered
submarines and meanwhile Is working
on plans for atomic power plants for
surface ships. We may have seen the
last war In which naval vessels relied on
oil for fuel and had to adjust their oper-
atoms to the limitations of that system.

Honus Wagner

It has been said that John Peter
stop baseball has ever known. Some old
timers considered him the greatest base
ball player of all time. Certainly the
game has lost one of its outstanding hit
tiers, fielders and baserunnerS with the
death, at 81, of the Flying Dutchman.'
A contemporary of the also great Ty
Cobb, Honus, a former Pittsburgh Pirate
star, was second only to Cobb in the num-
Der of votes he received for inclusion in
b~aseballs Hall of Fame. Wagner, Cobb,
Washington's revered Walter Johnson,
the fabulous Babe Ruth and famed
pitcher Christy Mathewson composed the
first group to be assigned places on the
games exclusive honor roll. The only
time that Wagner played against the
American Leagues Cobb was in the 1909
World Series between the Pirates and the
Detroit Tigers. Honus batted 1888 to Tvs
.231 In that series and outplayed Cobb at
the ~latter's own game, base-stealing, with
six theftS to Cobb's two. The Pirates
won the championship.
Wagner was quieter and generally less
colorful on the diamond than Cobb. but
his batting, fielding and running abilities
were nonetheless spectacular. The rec
ords show that he batted 300 or more for
II consecutive years. His lifetime batting
average was .329-and in the so-called
