just refuses to learn, despite all
the fancy means to straighten
him out-the incorrigible.
The principals indicated they
are exasperated, frustrated.
Some seemed to think their COM
munity is holding them respon-
sible for the incorrigible's con-
duct.
And speaking of the lack of
parental concern, one principal
said he has found some parents
look on school as the cheapest
child care in the country"
One principal said the schools
should insist that parents be
brought into the situation of the
int orrigible child and that
schools should mot take on the
entire responsibility" for a child.
Courts Return Impossible
Others complained that jul
venile courts often returned the
impossible child to school and
expect the principal to take care
of the situation.
In another talk, a California
junior high school principal said
that sex is here to stay"
His remarks came in a way of
emphasizing that schools must
meet the need of sex education
head-on.
Henry H. Batchelder of Pacific
Beach Junior High, San Diego,
said "our adolescents need con-
crete information" in the sex
field and added they need the
development of ideals - strong
ideals in this area"
The panel discussions were in
cluded in an afternoon session
OF the five-day meeting of the
National Association of Second
airy School Principals, meeting in
the Sheraton-Park and Shore
ham Hotels.

Remember?

Older Washington residents,
and some not so old, will re-
member the D. N. Walford
sporting goods store that
f1ourished here from the early
1905 until the depression.
Alfred Walford, slight but re-
markedly active son of the
founder, still likes to make
the rounds of familiar down.
town haunts, and when in the
mood can spin an interesting
yarn of that by-gone era.
The original Walford store,
he said, was located in the 800
block of Pennsylvania avenue
and as business expanded the
firm moved westward on the
avenue, occupying six other
sites. The last location was
on F street in a store now
occupied by a jewelry firm.
Sports equipment was a
major item at Walford's, but
1t boosted the finest cutlery
department in the city, and
possibly in the Nation. 1t also
had a jewelry department.
which was Alfred Walford's
chief concern. He visited the
White House several times to
sell watches to Teddy Roose-
welt, Herbert Hoover and
r. D. r. The old gentleman,
who'll be 80 next January 2,
also recalls selling a pocket
knife to President Arthur, who
came downstairs in his bath
robe to inspect Walford's dis
play of hardware.
D. Chester Walford, Alfred's
son, now a buyer for a down.
town department store, re-
members Presidents Wilson
and Harding purchasing golf
equipment from the firm. He
also sold the late Brig. Gen.
Billy Mitchell, a hunting en-
thusiast, many a fine fowling
piece.
I'VE did a brisk business in
guns and ammunition" Ches-
ter Walford told us. I'm those
days it wasn't necessary to
have a permit to carry a pistol
or gun. although we took the
names Of all buyers, and there
weren't too many places SELL
ing those items"

verSity OF California, spoke OF re-
cent studies of discipline and
said they range from use of the
rubber hose to detention hall"
He said the country soon will be
hearing more about discipline
than about reading.
The doctor said failure to dis
'cipline some children is one of
the chief causes of failure by the
beginning teacher and also the
greatest concern on the first day
of school.
Explanation for Success
He feels successful steps to
meet the problem lie in school
administrators and teachers
making the effort to explain the
rules to students. He added it is
good practice for teachers to OBJ
serve good manners and to ac-
cent self discipline. He felt the
punishment should fit the indi-
vidual rather than the crime. "
Another educator, Lieb Rich
mond. principal of a high school
in Tulsa, Okla, said he has
found some disciplinary steps
work once the faculty "get out
of the road" He emphasized
results can be obtained when
the faculty and the students
meet the problem together.
Other principals suggested
that discipline problems crop ur
when the course of study is either
too hard or too easy.
One Hopeless Type
And one told of removing the
source of a problem-a waste
basket that was constantly being
rolled down the stairs at his high
school. He put it at the bottom
Of the stairs permanently.
All the principals who spoke
on the discipline problem agreed
there is one type of student who

Gossip

We hear there was con-
sternation in a small corner
of the White House soon
after a battery of new tele-
phones for private use was
installed. Seems that the
instrument placed on the
night table next to Mrs.
EiSenhower's bed was blue.
An alert staff member dis
covered, to her utter horror,
that the color clashed with
a brown service button
nearby.
The phone was changed
to conform.

Are women really better

Are women really better
cooks than men?
The answer from Joe Deck
man, local building supply
man, is a resounding, moi"
Men are more imaginative
than women" Mr.. Deckman
contends. For them cooking
is recreation, or a hobby, and
they have more interest In
creative cooking.
"Most women" he continues,
make drudgery out of some
thing that should be an art.
They specialize in hamburgerS,
splattered with catSup, that
taste like sawdust. Cooking
to them is a duty and an obi
cation, and very often their
cooking tastes like it,"
Well. now, the lady of our
house will take exception to
that and, to tell the truth, we
think her cooking is not only
pretty good, but excellent.
Her only complaint about KIP
duty is securing the pots and
pans afterward, and the dis
taste for hopping up opera
tions seems universal.
If you're curious to know
whether Mr.. Deckman does
the cooking at his home, he
does. AS a matter of fact he
has a batch of pet recipes. and
has collected enough from
friends to publish a thick
cookbook of limited circula-
ton.
What does wife Flo Deck
man think of all this?
Hes a fine cook" she says,
contentedly sinking into an
easy chair and reaching for a
magazine. Just fine!"

where the skater would let

Next came a group Of little

This group, headed by Miss
