Among the projects he has exhibited
are model of a water-powered grain
mill, a comparison of the wave and
particle nature of light, the geometry
of crystals, and homemade polari-
meter.
Edwin has spent two years devising
and building his own equipment for

high school level in scientific ability,
Edwin is able to originate research
projects, develop the theoretical
aspects of the problems, and then
carry out experiments under labora-

Take his sand transport project,
for example. Edwin decided to figure
out an average trajectory for grain
of sand which has been lifted off the
ground by the wind.
First, he painStakingly counted out
1900 grains of sand, and established
an average volume and radius of the
grains. Then he calculated the path
this average grain would take when
lifted by passing wind.
To test his theoretical conclusions.
Edwin built a wind tunnel in which
air is blown over a layer of sand. As
the grains were blown, they were

Top Teenage Scientists
By JOHN T.. KANE

WASHINGTON area schools may
teenage scientists are making quite
q showing.
Once again the June class Of grad
uating high school seniors boasts the
top young science student in the
Nation, as selected by the WeSting-
house Science Talent Institute.
In 1854 it was Bethesda youngSter,
Allen Taught, II, of 5618 Glenwood
road, who was chosen as the coun-
try'S top teenage scientist for his
original work in SpectroScopic analysis.
This year, it is Robert T. Moore, II,
of 80 Langley drive, Silver Spring,
winner of the $500 scholarship to a
college of his choice, where he will
prepare for a career as physicist.
And two other area seniors will leave
high school this June with $500 Schol-
arships for their science projects.
Since the Nationwide science talent
hunt" was started Is years ago,
the District and nearby suburbs have
had total of Is scholarship winners,
and 62 honorable mentions.
Roberts prize winning project, al
most unexplainable in nonmathemat-
ical terms, has kept him busy since
the middle of last summer. What he
did was to undertake a highly in
volved study of the kinds of pOlygons
Tor any-sided figures) which could
be packed together somewhat like the
pieces of a jigSaw puzzle. He may
spend another year or so on the prof.
ect, then publish the results in one of
the mathematical journals IF I get
all the loose ends tied up"
Roberts scientific interests go back

with the biological sciences" he says.
moved on to reading about astron-
omy. and finally came to the general
field of physics"
He took all the math courses avail
able at Montgomery Blair High School
and has been studying calculus on his
own. Right now, he feels that the
mathematical aspects of a career in
physics are the most attractive, and
to this end he had a job last summer
at the Census Bureau operating
UNIVAC computer equipment.
But Roberts scientific hobbies could
hardly be described as limited to
armchair theorizing. He is currently
building a 6-inch reflector telescope,
and he has spent many evenings
using the telescope available to mem
berS of the National Capital AStron-
omers at the Naval Observatory.
When he isn't absorbed in higher
mathematics and building such scien-
tific equipment as cloud chamber
for studying subatomic particles,
Robert manages to squeeze in tennis,
Hwy activities, Latin and writing
honors, and participation in local
science fairs.
About five years ago, his scientific
talents we're put to a severe test in
practical accomplishment. The fam
ily's California home had suffered an
invasion of SkunkS in the basement.
The skunks had entered by way of a
trap door in the basement door
through which the family cat let
herself in and out. Twelye-year-old
Robert redesigned the door SO the
skunks could get out but not back in.

Like an ideal housewife who

But like even the best-natured

A George Washington Univer-
sity professor recognizes that
the dating habits of young
Americans can't be looked at
through a microscope, but she
did a creditable job of looking
them over with field glasses.
Young Americans. she said
frequently turn out to be shop
worn husbands and disillusioned
.wives-the former because they
flew too high in their dating
days, and the latter because
young women think the marriage
vows guarantee them a continu-
alton of the exciting days OF
courtship.
Mother of Two
Those weren't the only obser-
vations of Prof. Dorothy Wilmer,
a sociologist at the University
and a mother Of two.
The occasion was the first in
a series of talks on Love and

She began her discussion with
the observation that very little
scientific work has been done in
the dating field.
Therefore" she said, I'VE

not through a microscope, but

from taking that longest walk
back home.
Europe's arranged marriages
made dating an unnecessary
function.
The rise of individualism in
America and the scarcity of
women here in the frontier days
gave rise to the competitive
search for wives and greater re-
spect for them.
Americans too often carry IAN
ideal image" of the prospective
mate in their minds and too
often let it influence them in
picking a wife or husband.
Most men do not date with
in mind. Most women
do.
Dating develops poise and per-
sonality, a kind of sophistica-
ton and confidence.
a mistaken Notion
The romantic notion that
there Is Just one person in
the world for me" does not
hold water. The professor
pointed out that most residents

Pay Proposed
For Members Of
School Board
Dr.. Cannon Suggests
SIS q Meeting Fee
And More Sessions

Payment for services of MEM
bers of the District Board of Edu-
cation has been proposed by a.
former board member.
DR.. James A. Cannon, who
left the school board in 1851 after
II years of service. suggested toI
the Washington Roundtable yes
tterday that board members get
I$25 per meeting. At present they
are unpaid.
The ex-board member also said
the board ought to meet twice
monthly. which would mean an
annual payment to each member
IF he attended all sessions-of
$500.
/ DR.. Cannon, a surgeon, made
ia number of suggestions re-
garding the school board In al
luncheon talk.
The present three-year term
for board members ought to be
changed to seven years. he said,
adding that reappointment
should be barred. He also said
that methods-which he didn't
Ispecify-ought to be adopted for
removing members who prove un-
satisfactory.
DR.. Cannon raised no obiec-
ton to having members named
by the United States District
Court for the District of Column
bia, but he said the court ought
to pick them from the member
ship Of the Washington Board
Iof Trade and parent-teacherl
and citizen associations.
He also asserted that the nine j
members always ought to in
Iclude a doctor. lawyer, clergy
man. builder. businessman and a |
representative of labor. The
legally prescribed three women
members. he added, should be a |
retired teacher. a club woman
and a housewife with Sabotage
children.
DR.. Cannon suggested abol-
ishing present board committees,
asserting the board is small
enough to operate better with
out them.
The former board member
blamed the school systems re-
current financial troubles on re-
.peated budget cuts by the Com
lmissioners. He said schools
ought to get an appropriation
separate from the city Govern
ment's.
He also suggested putting
school doctors and nurses direct !
lly under school system control,
Instead of the Health Depart |
Iment as at present.
