Schmitt has three trainers, each
trainer having up to five student

Kindness and patience are the
WatchWords In dog training The
dogs are never struck, nor are
they forced to work beyond their
capabilities.
Schmitt purchases dogs when
they are between rs months and
9 years of age. BY this time, the
animals have lost much Of their
puppy play fulncss and are more
ready for serious training
When new dogs come 10 the
school. they are put into a kennel
and not asked to work until they
have become accustomed to the
place Then a trainer takes over,
and the dogs are put on regular
school schedule
Normally. only female German

female Is more docile. more de-

Late Start Means
Speed Pays During
Hayinss Operations

The late vet spring has caused
more-than-usual interest in ways ia
speed up the hay harvest. says
Easley Smith, assistant agricuI-
tural engineer at VPI
Here are his suggestions:
Have equipment ready to ID
when the weather is right Check
all adjustments, including the regi-
ster and lead of the cutter bar
belt tensions. knife hold-down clips
on the cutter bars, etc.
Lubricate as required bein
careful to check all gear boxes to
see that the oil is clean and filled
to the correct level with the
proper lubricant Drain and re-
place if necessary
Replace old, obsolete. or worn
out equipment, and add equipment
as your needs increase. Set up a
definite plan to buy equipment You
can stagger purchases to prevent
the need for an unusually large
expenditure in any one year. By
doing this you can avoid many Of
the costly time delays caused by
WORKOUT machinery breakdowns
Match your equipment. size to
size. and one operation to another
For instance, avoid having an un-
usually large capacity baler with

Dallas Is In A Mess On Indignation
fShreyennri la Tin.

shreveport Ma) Times
The Dallas School District Ger
talnly is in mess. Efforts Of the
NAACP to bring integratlon have
gone back and forth in the courts
with first one decision and then
another Now the School District
officials are faced with the propo-
sition OF trying to find somebody
TO tell them how to keep out Of
jail no matter what 'ney do.
First a federal judge ordered
rather quick indignation Of the
schools He was a 100 per cent
segregatlonist but felt that he
could not do otherwise than order
Indignation under the Supreme
Court decision. Then. somewhat
strangely in the opinion Of many
the Federal Fifth Circuit Court
Of Appeals said that the district
nudge was moving too fast and
ordered him to slow down and
give the schools more time. It did
llDI SdS ilUN IIluCH Tune.
So, the district Judge now has
told the schools to get going with
al deliberate speed whatever
that means
II the school officials violate
the court order thay can be held
IN contempt Of federal court and
tossed into the hoosegow - or
punished in some other way.
But there is another angle.
Texas has a state law providing
fine or imprisonment or both for
any public official who permits
integratlon in school unless there
has been public referendum in
the school district concerned and
a majority have voted in favor of
integration No referendum h $
been held in Dallas and nobody
shows any inclination to call one.
So. if the school officials obev
the federal court order and in
stitute Indignation they will be in
violation Of state law and can be
thrown in the hoosegrow for that.
For them every direction seems to
lead to jail.
No federal court has yet held
that the state law is invalid in
ans way. The state law has the
moral advantage perhaps in the
minds Of the School Board mem
bers-of being law. The federal
courts act only on a naked ruling
by the United States Supreme
Court There is no law in support
OF that ruling. federal Or state.

Hail. Sixth Gradersi

This seems to be the week
for the sixth grade children OF
our city. Not only because the
news seems to come from
them, as you will see in a mo-
ment; but because the present
ga students, with only a week
of elementary schooling left,
are participating in the End
of an Era.
For some years now, the East
Cleveland school system has
been engaged in the process of
"sloughing off the midyears";
that is, beginning one year
with the Kindergartens, they
admitted no new students at
the change of semesters in
January, and advanced this
process one step annually
through the grades. The result
is that after this year, there
will be no "midyear" or Janu-
airy classes at all in our grade
schools. Every child will start
his schooling in September.
The process still continues up
through Kirk and Shaw, until
after January, 1864 when the
entire school system will con-

All this makes the present
GA classes in our six elemen-
tary schools pretty important
people, for they will be the
last pupils promoted who will
wear their overcoats to Com
mencement. We plan to list
these boys and girls names in
our column next week, and to
tell you a little more about
their graduation exercises at
the various buildings.
Meanwhile, other sixth grad
ers are making news.
Caledonia
The pupils in Miss Jean Coll
mer's sixth grade class at
Caledonia have been studying
the stars, and particularly their
grouping into various constel-
lations in the sky. Stars in the
same constellation may not ac-
tually be near each other at
all, for some of them may be
trillions of miles farther away
from us than others; but they
are in roughly the same direc-
ton from US, and since very
early times, men have imagined
that they see certain shapes
of animals and people in the
groupings of the stars in the
heavens.
Miss Collmer's students have
prepared poster pictures of
ten consultations, which are on
display in the Upper School
hall on the bulletin board.
Fastened to blue paper back
grounds are outlines of bears
and lions and so on, with the
stars that suggest their out
lines picked out inside them
and joined with lines. The
Latin and English names of the
consultations are printed along
with them: Leo the Lion,
Lepus the Hare, Ursa Major
the Great Bear chats the Big
Dipper to us), and so on.
Children in other classes
have become interested in the
consultations from studying
this display, and the nearby
Branch Library has had an in
crease in requests for infor-
nation on astronomy as a re-
suit of this educational exhibit.

Fortunately no other pedes-

path. Mr.. Rondini died at the
a few hours later. He
is believed to have been stricken
