School starts in a few days.
1t will start for my children
in the special class as well
as for all the children in the
regular classes. Most of them
are looking forward eagerly
to the event. 1t is one place
where they will have many
friends. 1t is one place where
they feel important. 1t is one
place where they feel happy
and it is one place where
they will be learning many
things.
They are fortunate to live
in a community where edu-
cation is provided for the
handicapped. They can live
at home with their families
enjoy their warmth and
love and yet have a place to
attend school where they can
learn some of the things they
need to know to prepare
them for participation in the
community. You might ask,
Don't all the children have
an opportunity to go to
SCHOOL," and the answer is
MOI" Many communities
have not realized their re-
sponsibilities to these chill
dren, and even this commu-
nifty doesn't have a third Of
the special classes that are
needed.
Not long ago our Special
Education Department visited
a well-known institution for
the handicapped. 1t is one
of the finest in the country,
and yet as we walked through
this place I had the horrible
feeling that we, Society. had
failed them. Many of these
children and adults would be
in their own homes, their
own communities, if only
some provisions for their
training had been available.
l talked with one young girl
at this place, mentioning how
nice it seemed. She said
sadly, 1T looks nice to you.
You don't have to live here.
l wish l were back in my
own town."
OF course, sometimes the
handicap is such that it
takes all the strength of the
mother to care for the child
so that she has none left for

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

Two of the women, in their
traditional calico dresses,
pressed close.
The resident threw up one
arm, pointing in the general
direction of the county seat.
you go that way" he ex-
planned, but he already had
made his cardinal mistake.
Never, in talking to gypsies,
raise your arm.
With arm raised, you cam
not feel the sly fingers getting
your pocketbook.
The gypsies thanked the
old man with flashing smiles
and eyes.
He felt right pleased with
himself, in being able to be
of some small service to these
wanderers.
Then, suddenly, he came
to, and felt for his pocket
book.
1t was gone.
Il
Rockville, seat of Mont
gomery County, used to have
a fine fair. 1t is held no
longer, but in its day it was
one of the best.
One of the stellar attrac-
tons to most city visitors
were the gypsies.
Their way of bathing the
young was sure to attract at
tention.
The mother simply turned
a big pail of water upside
down over a small boy or
girl. None of the smaller
children wore clothing.
Then the child just ran
around until dry.
1t was all very effective,
convenient and cheap. and if
you we're a gypsy child. no
doubt as good as the best
modern bath complete with
shower. This was, of course.
a natural shower bath, in
keeping with gypsy medical
traditions and remedies. They
had "air conditioning" CEN
turtles ago-but it was the
true air conditioning of the
great outdoors, and the only
electricity connected with it
was a lightning fash now
and then.

ton with the Little Rock
case. in which he said:
THE very basis Of our indi-
vidual rights and freedoms
rests upon the certainty that
the President and the execu-
tive branch Of the Govern
ment will support and insure
the carrying out Of the deci-
sions Of the Federal courts.
Every American must under
stand that If an individual, a
community or State is going
successfully and continuously
to defy the courts, then there
is anarchy"
Further, the President
made 1t clear at his press
conference that the Depart
ment Of Justice, through the
Attorney General and the
Solicitor General, would fol-
low his viewS-or else there
would be a new Attorney
General and a new Solicitor
General. Just a few hours
after the President made
this statement, the Solicitor
General submitted a brief to
the Supreme Court in the
Little Rock school case
which in effect asked that
the tribunal grant no delay
in indignation as recon-
mended and ordered by
Judge Lemley.
Describes SOuth's Position
The Presidents desire for
care and patience in bringing
about school indignation in
the South-or anywhere else
is not new. He has reiter-
ated it again and again. In
a press conference october
80, 1857, his philosophy was
clearly stated. He said: Il
personally believe this prob
lem is never going to be
solved without patience and
Tolerance reconsideration.
We just cannot solve it COM
pletely by fiat or law and
force. This is a deeper human
problem than that. The South
has lived for Sc years under
a social order that was APP
proved by the Supreme Court,
and specifically with respect
to education-the theory of
separate but equal facilities.
Now they are asked to con-
slider that whole system I'M
constitutional, and naturally
this causes difficulties" In
deed, the President has not
changed, although his Demo-
cratic opponents now are
seeking to make it appear so.
The Republicans have had
high hope that the Negro
vote, which left the Republic
can Party to follow Franklin
D. Roosevelt, was being won
back to the G. o. P. In many
Negro districts where the
vote had previously been al
most 80 per cent Democratic,
the Negro voters were found
to have voted Ais per cent
for Eisenhower in 1856. In
the coming congressional
elections. it was believed the
Negroes would vote as high
as IS or 81 per cent Republic
can-as compared to 90 per
cent in 1854, Party workers
are wondering if this goal can
be attained.

Since American gypSl
have taken to motor cars and
trucks, they no longer make
raids on small towns. The
old cry, 1.-THE gypsieS, the
gypSies!" is seldom heard.
In the old days, called gay
for want of a better word,
these strange people used
horses and wagons. This
made them slower in getting
from one place to another.
They had time, as they do
not have now, to look over a
place. Now they just roll
through as fast as possible.
Then, they stopped their
wagons, got out and immedi-
ately began to look the town
over.
\ 4 4 4
1t was their way OF looking
that terrified the mothers Of
the town.
Tradition had it that the
gypsies would steal children,
particularly blond children
with long curlS.
THE gypsies, the gypSies!"
the cry would go up.
Mothers would scream for
their children, call them in,
then lock all doors and win
dows as quickly as possible.
1t was the day of lace
curtains, so beloved of grand
mother and her friends.
You had no standing. in
those gay times, unless you
had lace curtains, the thicker
and more ornamented, the
better.
A piano, too, was evidence
Of standing. Money in the
bank, too. but not so much
so, because nobody could see
it.
&&&
The swarthy gypsy faces
would come close to windows,
and the dark, flashing gypsy
eyes would look in at one
corner, through the lace cur
tainS.
Mother would huddle with
her brood on the other side
of the drum stove. hoping the
dark people would go away.
Hush, hush" mother
would admonish her children.
1t was a time of dread.
+ 4
Finally, when the sounds Of
footsteps and the barks Of
dogs were replaced by silence,
mother would sneak to the
door and unlock 1t, then peer
out.
AIS clear" she would
call.
The gypsies had made
another call on the old home
town, to be seen no more
until about the same time
next year.
-
The last gypsy foray We
heard of was on an old man
in nearby Chevy Chase, Md.
He was coming along Con-
necticut avenue. when a band
drew up in trucks.
The tribe surrounded him
and one of the men asked
him the way to Rockville.

Nice Lady

What a heartening new COL
umn in your newspaper, "Of
Love and Laughter"
My whole family, including
children, and many a friend
to whose attention I have
brought it, have read and en-
joyed Mrs. Holmes delight
fully warm, personal APP
proach to the business of
raising children and just
plain living. For all of us,
1 felt l must offer this tribute
TO the perspicacity which you
have shown in publishing this
particular column.
What a fresh breeze are
her pungent comments on
getting along with people,
her honest but tender obser-
vationS of family life, her
apron pocket philosophical"
A twice-weekly reminder, one
might say, of the fact that,
in spite of the news on the
front page, sober realities
which must be faced, there
are these other realities, too,
and equally important. Too
often they are overlooked in
the serious business of getting
along from day to day. How
often a forgotten family
outing has come back to
mind as Mrs. Holmes de-
Scribes one of her own, a
child's remark, or the re-
membrance of a husbands
special thoughtfulness. I am
sure many other mothers and
wives - and husbands and
fathers - are experiencing
this same reaction; it is as
if Mrs. Holmes keeps for us
the diary we meant to keep,
but somehow never got
around to.
For the ten years we have
been in the Washington area
we have consistently read the
other interesting columns in
The Star and would not
wish to slight them. Sylvia

the other children or huS-
band. In such cases. till we
can find a better solution. it
is necessary to make some
provision outside the home.
But the majority of children
could live at home if they
had a special class to attend
which would help with their
training.
This, then, is my job to
help with their training.
l shall have half the chill
dren one finds in a regu-
lar class, but I know there
will be ten times the prob
lens to try to solve. Some
will be retarded because of
brain injury, because of in
jurieS before, during, or after
birth.
: Each injury will be differ
ent. Each child must be
studied in order that the best
program can be developed.
Some children will be re-
tarded because of premature
birth. There are many, many
other reasons. But we must
be honest and say that we
simply don't know the rea-
sons for many of the chill
dren's retardationS. There
may even be a pseudo
retarded child. The child
tests low on an intelligence
test and is educationally re-
tarded as well, but he is that
way because of some emo
tional factor. His environ
ment may be so lacking in
stability and love that it has
affected his whole develop
ment.
What is my more specific
job as a special class teach
err? 1 must try to help the
child become socially more
mature. He must learn how
to get along with other peo-
pie. l must try to help him
control his emotions so he
will be more acceptable in a
group, and finally I must
help him to learn as many
of the fundamental SkillS as
he is able to learn. You will
notice l have put social ma
turity first. If he learns the
fundamentals but can't learn
to get along with others his
fundamental skills will be of
little use.
