take on passengers for Easton,
Md, the first since 1851. The
occasion was a "rail-ramble"
which originated at Baltimore,
and was sponsored by the Mary
land Historical Society. Two
hundred eighty-eight members
and friends, all railroad enthusi-
asts, turned out to take photo
graphs here and at Marydel,
where twenty-minute stop was
made. The terminus was at Eas-
ton, where dinner was served at
the fire house. Passengers get
ting on from here were Mr.. and
Mrs. Harold Romley and daugh-
tiers, Barbara and Marylin, Mar
ion Massey, and Mrs. Lee Rem
ley from Cheswold, and their
guest, MIR. Don Northwood from
Leipsic. Fred ]. Burke made the
trip as conductor-pilot.
Wayne Cole, local student at

days of the drive. A goal of 500

This committee points out that
the volunteers of the Clayton
Fire Company are dedicated to
service to the community, twen-
ty-four hours a day, winter and
summer. They stand ready to
answer your call for help. Your
volunteers ask no personal fav-
or for use of their free time for
this service. There is only one
thing he asks-that the equip
ment and tools he has to use
in fire-fighting be the best avail
able. In order to have these
things it is found necessary
each year to solicit for funds to
a u G m e mt the appropriations
from the State and County,
which are far from sufficient.
Without your contribution the
equipment would soon become
obsolete, and in some cases,
useless. So, for the protection
of the community, and for your
own protection, your volunteers
through this m e a n ask you
for a contribution. Your dona-
ton may be mailed direct to the
Clayton Fire Company, or left
at the Clayton Bank and Trust
Company.

Smyrna schools are called upon
TO teach other fundamental
skills of communication and
human relationship and under
standing.
INTELLIGENCE QUOTIENT:
Commonly referred to as 10"
the ratio between the mental
and chronological age; a rough
measurement of the potential
to learn; one of several tools
available to the teacher in the
evaluation of a student in our
schools. When the mental age
and the chronological age are
the same, the 10 is said to be
100, which is considered aver
age.
CO. -CURRICULAR ACTIVE
TIES: outside of regular class
room learning experiences, but
which are an outgrowth of class
interest. Examples: Student
councils, sports, camera club,
etc. Formerly referred to as ex-
tra-curricuIar activities, these
are now considered an import
ant part of the curriculum in
teaching citizenship, sportsman
ship and developing other I'M
derstandings now considered
fundamental.
GIFTED CHILD: One of ex-
ceptional ability, the academi-
cally talented. characteristics
usually found in the gifted child
are: ability to make logical as
sociations, long e r -than-usual
span of attention, originality,
initiative, deep and varied in
terests, etc.
SECONDARY EDUCATION:
This is used to refer to that
portion of the schooling which
follows the elementary years.
In Smyrna this includes the
children in grades 7 through IL.
1t is sin C erely hoped that
these terms will be of help to
the parents as they meet their
child's teacher this year. The
teacher is ready, willing, and
able to cooperate with the par
ents in anything which will ben
eft the child.

Teachers Vocabulary Both Mystifies
And Confuses The Bewildered Parent

Larry adjusts we'll to his
peer group but he seems to be
lacking in readiness and l am
afraid we would have difficulty
with phonics." This might be
the sort of language a young
mother might hear when she
has her first conference with
his teacher at a PTA meeting
or after school and the mother
might mistake it for some form
of double talk. The fact of the
matter is that teachers, in deal
ing with educational matters,
have developed a specialized vo-
cabularly, as is true in any of
the professions.
The precise meanings given
TO some words and phrases,
which the teacher has spent
many hours of his or her free
time in learning to use correct
" and in order to help the child,
NAV lead to some confusion in
a conference between the teach
er and a parent. To aid in avoid
ine this kind of misunderstand-
ing the Smyrna Special School
District has prepared the fol-
lowing glossary of representa-
tive school terms often used by
its teachers.
PEER GROUP: If you were
working a cross word puzzle,
peers might turn out to be Brit
ian's House of Lords, but as
the teacher uses it she means
simply the child's classmates,
his equals of the same age,
same interests, etc.
READING READINESS: The
level of mental and physical de-
velopment necessary for begin
ming to learn to read. 1t COM
bines willingness, desire and "a
bility. Indications of readiness
include good vocabulary, abil-
ity to speak complete sentences
and to tell a story, and a fam
iliarity with stories and books.
PHONIC METHOD: A method
of teaching reading based on
the analysis of words into their
speech sounds. Words are rec
d and pronounced by
learning G letter combinations
which represent sounds. In
Smyrna we combine this with
other methods designed to help
children not only to pronounce,
but to understand the meaning
of words.
AUDIO-VISUAL INSTRUC-
TIONAL MATERIALS: Materi-
ais which facilitate learning
through both hearing and see
ing. Examples: motion pictures,
TV, talks illustrated by charts,
slides, and others also used by
our district.
CORE: Short for Correlated
Program. In Smyrna
this is used to indicate the
of the two import
ant subjects of English and Soc
ial studies to better enable the
student to see their relationship
to one another and enable him
to see the relationship of these
vital subjects to his own life.
FUNDAMENTALS: Until re-
Gently, the three R's-reading,
writing, and arithmetic. These
are still fundamental tools with
out which further learning is
impossible. However, in the
complexity of modern times, the

Cutting Prolongs Blooming

Annuol plants have life cy-
Gle of from seed to seed in one
year. You can utilize this fact
to prolong the normal blooming
season. Just continually remove
spent blooms so the plant can
not go to seed. Often recur-
rent blooms can thus be in

Amateurs Fostering
New OrnomentoIs

Amateur plant breeders,
rather than professionals, are
likely to contribute most to
horticultural progress in the
field Of developing new kinds of
ornamental plants. This is the
opinion Of the country's leading
experts, writing in The Hand
book on Breeding Ornamental
Plants" Just published by the
Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
Whereas professional breed
ers are under pressure to origi-
nate plants which will sell for
a profit, amateurs in all parts
of the country, working in their
own gardens, have the greatest
opportunity to produce new
varieties.
The extent to which amateurs
have already discovered new
plants for American gardens is
evident in the IS articles, each
written by a recognized spe-
cialist, which comprise the con-
tents Of this 112-page hand
book. The breeding programs
Of several famous amateurs are
reviewed. Based on their ex-
periences, complete information
is given on how to choose the
best flowers for hybridizing
preparation of the bloom for
pollination. how to make the
cross, keep breeding records,
harvest the seed, and raise the
