School Supt. Hobart M. Corn

of both teachers and school

financial support of its schools.

in order to improve its educa-
tional system.

painted a picture of the develop
ment of the atomic-age future.
in which he said there will be
far more leisure time and also
Tar more technical demands.
The boys and girls in the Ma
tlon's schools now, he said, will
be living in this age. He added:
ITS the responsibility of
business people and educators
and communities to get ready
"a system of education that is
going to meet the needs of very
rapidly changing times"
He told the school business
leaders:
1T is imperative that we over
come in this Nation the shame
full shortage of teachers, the
shameful shortage of school
buildings that exists, and the
inadequate appropriations for
the support of the schools that
exists all over the Nation"
Points to Problem Here
In a welcoming talk, Dr.. Cor
ming called attention to the diff
f1cultieS of financing the WASH
ington schools. He described the
complicated budgeting process,
in which school appropriations
request must be screened by first
the Board of Education, then
the Commissioners, the Federal
Bureau of the Budget, the House,
the Senate, and finally, the
President.
The school superintendent
said he personally must testify
on such details "as the need for
a janitor for a building"
Our budget is that close" he
told the convention delegates.
He pointed out that the money
for WashlngtOn's schools, de-
spite being part of the Federal
budget, comes from taxes i'm
posed on Washington citizens.

ton.

The
Rambler
Now All Is Merry
On Merry-Go- Round
By JACK JONAS

The Rev. Carleton Barnwell,
co-ordinator at the Protestant
Episcopal Theological Semi
nary at Alexandria, heard
from a former pariShioner
down in Lynchburg, Va, last
week.
Henry Smiley" DR.. Barn
well said, was a pariShioner
of mine until l left Lynchburg
to come to the Seminary in
lo49-and a very handy
parishioner."
The story concerns Mr..
Smiley's troubles with a car
nival type airplane ride. Mr..
Smiley set up the ride in his
backyard and asked the
neighbor kids to come around
and try it out.
They did, with shouts of
glee. But the shouts turned to
groans of despair, and many
of them became ill-including
Mr.. Smiley'S own, Burton, 9,
and Knight, 7.
Mr.. Smiley told his problem
to an old carnival hand. How
was it set to revolve, the carny
asked-clockwise or counter
clockwise? Mr. Smiley thought
a moment, then said, Clock
wise"
That, the carnival man said,
was the difficulty. In the
Northern Hemisphere, he said,
all rides are set to go counter
clockwise-on the same prin-
ciple as whirlpools, hurricanes
and the water in the bath
room wash basin when it goes
down the drain. Otherwise,
the fun seekers become i'll.
Set 1t counterclockwise, he
said, and the trouble would
end.
When Mr.. Smiley set up his
airplane ride at the recent st.
Paul's Fair at Virginia Episco-
pal School, he followed the
carny's advice. Nobody got
sick.
Il knew about whirlpools
and hurricanes" DR.. Barnwell
said, "but I never knew about
merry go-roundS."
