OBANYOUN'S
OBSERVATION

Pastor Barrow was back
ONE, last Sunday, after a tri-
umphant trip to other fields,
but he turned over the pulpit
to Rev. Elmo Bean, local,
student at B. U. Rev. Bean has
preached several times before,
and has always delivered in
first class style. Speaking from
Isaiah 40; 4, he pointed out
many timely precepts to the
appreciative congregation. The
senior choir and the inter-
mediat choir were both on
duty in the musical depart
ment.
Got two delicious doses of
"The Messiah" last Sunday,
At $3.50 the augmented choir
of All Saints Lutheran Church
performed it TO a nicely, under
the direction of Frederick d.
Rochester, organiSt and choir
director, who performed the
double duty of playing the
organ and conducting. AS far
as my ear could tell, he didn't
miss a note, and he used his
left hand to punctuate the
direction which he was doing
by head-nodding. The Soloists
we're Syeeda Daood, soprano,
Judith Ann Kelly, alto, Tho
mas Parish, tenor, Robert |
Watson, bass. The whole per- !
formance ran like a well oiled |
machine, and with the great |
est Of admiration for the very
capable choir, I must bow to
the director-organist who
operated the machine. Pastor
Vernon E. Carter may well be
proud of his musical unit.
Then, at night, 1 went to 4
Peoples Baptist Church, where 4
Charles Garner directed a well
oiled machine which he SEEM
ed to have under perfect con-
troll. His soloists were: Jeanne
Robinson, soprano, Fedora
Manning, contralto, Dan
Sorenson, tenor, Robert Wat
son, bass. He also had Roches-
ter at the organ, Johnny
Weeks, piano, Irving Pinkof-
sky, 1st violin, Robert Fish
man, End violin, Barbara Rice,
Carole Gustafson, Cello. II
and his fifty voice choir.

500 Of County Teachers
Revealed as Uncertified

More than half of Montgomery
County's 1900 elementary school
teachers hold no permanent
teaching certificates, it was re-
vealed yesterday.
At a meeting Of the Board OF
Education in Rockville. board
member Willard McGraw drew
attention to the situation when
he commented on the employ
ment of two elementary school
teachers with neither college de-
|grees nor teaching experience.
Dr.. James Prince, assistant
superintendent in charge Of per-
sonnet, told the board the teach
ers had had part-time teaching
experience at the schools where
they were employed and were
felt to be capable Of handling
their jobs.
Board member Rose Kramer
then made the revelation, which
she termed startling, frighten-
ing" that more than half of the
county's elementary school teach
ers hold only temporary teach
ing certificates. She based her
statement on a chart from the
personnel report Of Supt. Of
Schools Forbes H. Norris.
DR.. Prince explained that
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-02-15

many of the teachers had been
certified by other States but had
been unable to obtain certifi-
cation from the State Depart
lment Of Education because of
IMaryland's stiff requirement of
80 academic hours Of education
courses.
Maryland, DR.. Prince added,
lis the only State which does not
give reciprocity on out-of-State
Identification.
He said that the area teaching
situation was probably as good
as that Of any other community
where comparable growth had
been experienced. DR.. Prince
added that Chicago uses many
teachers with only high school
education.
I'VE say we require 80 hours
OF education courses. then we
employ a teacher with three
hours and tell her to get the
|remainder-within the next 20
years." she added.
Board Chairman Helen Scharf
said she felt 1t was time for
State authorities and educa-
Itional groups to make "a real
Iistic re-appraisal" of the certi-
ification question.

Education has lust about been
able to keep pace" with the in
crease in school enrolment. He
blamed the present deficiency
which has resulted in double
sessions in some schools on 'the
great shortage Of classrooms at
the elementary level" present
five years ago. During the Ave
year period from 1950-55, the
report points out, county appro-
|priations and State and Federal
grants have amounted to $47.8
million, with the county con-
tributing IS per- cent.
Costs to Rise
He warned that an increase
of 1900 secondary school stu
dents to total Of 10000 by 1860
win hike construction costs per
pupil since secondary school
buildings costs run higher than
90 elementary.
At present. the 78-page budget
request continued, about one out
of every five of the county's pop
ulation is. a public school stu
dent. This ratio is expected to
rise to 22.5 per cent by 1860.
At yesterdays session the
board gave the go-ahead signal
TO the county's first prefabricated
school structure. A 10-room ad-
dition to the long -overcrowded
Viers Mill Elementary School will
be built as soon as an Indiana
firm specializing in such build
.ings presents acceptable plans.

THE FIRST BRIDGE

The first bridging Of the Father
Of Waters, as far as historical
records disclose, was at Mime

interesting fact. Near the falls Of
st. Anthony the river was COM
paritively narrow. Further 10 the
south the river was so wide that
II presented a real obstacle 20 the
bridge builders Of century ago.
st. Anthony, the first settle
ment at the falls, was on the east
bank of the river. A community
known first as All Saints, and af-
ter 1852 as Minneapolis, was
started on the west bank. Those
who wished 10 cross the rived used
John Tapper's ferry which served
until 1885.
In the early 1s5O's the growth
Of the two communities required
a bridge. A company was created
to build It and $500 in stock
was subscribed by the people Of
the two pioneer communities. A
suspension bridge was designed
and there were many delays in
completing construction. On De-
cember II. 1884 enough work had
been done so that the men work.

it on loose planlSs. But strong
winds came and did damage to the
structure which again delayed its
eventual use.
On January %, 1855 the bridge
was completed and the accom-

great celebration and banquet.
The toll for the foot passengers
was at first ten cents each way.
This was later reduced 10 three
cents and five cents for the priv
ilege Of going over and coming
back. II was after the Civil War

BUFFALO HUNTERS

In the early days Of settlement
in Minnesota the frontier de-
pended upon big game for much
OF its food. There were moose in
the big woods, deer in all parts Of
the state and the buffalo roamed
the western prairies,
The home OF the buffalo was in
the Red River Valley and areas
near to H. There were great herds
Of these rugged beasts and the
frontier people and the Indians
depended upon them for food.
The buffalo was cause OF
some controversy a hundred years
ago. The Indians feared the loss
of these animals from the heavy
onslaughts Of hunters from the
other side of the Canadian border.
There were settlements along the
Red river in Canada which con-
tanned some six thousand people,
largely French half bree IDS. A
third of these people would mi
CRATE to the area south Of the
border and kill great numbers Of
buffalo. Norman Kittson reported
that as high as 1900 carts would
come across the border in the
hunting season and that no less
than 10000 buffalo would be kill
led annually by these hunters and
the Sioux and Chippewa Indians.
The Canadian hunters were not
interested in the buffalo hides.
They wanted meat, tallow and the
tongues. The meat was an inn
portant element in trade. II would
be dried, pounded fine and
packed in skin bags sealed tight
with hot tallow. In this form it
would keep for years and was the
staple meat for the far flung trad
ing posts Of the Hudson's Bay
Company.

ON ALL TRAFFIC VIOLATORS

An all-out drive to curb the
soaring traffic accident rate in
Phoenix has been launched by
the City Council. In February
alone, there were SIX persons
killed in traffic accidents on the
City streetS-bringing the total
to 9 for the first two months
of 1856 This rise in traffic deaths
has been followed by an over
all increase in all traffic acci-
dent categories. Total accidents
for January and February reach
ed 1928, an increase OF Is per
cent over the 1,O54 reported for
the same period in 1855. Action
to combat the growing accident
trend includes the use of un-
marked patrol cars to spot city
traffic code violators; levying of
stiffer penalties by the City Mag
iStrate on drivers who are guilty
of moving violations = speeding,
drunk and reckless driving; Cita-
tiOnS for drivers who fail to yield
the right-of-way to pedestrians;
and citations for drivers who
exceed the posted speed limits.
Brief mandatory Jail sentences
might be considered by the
Council if this action fails to
