Public Schools and Private Schools

Il have taught in Doth types If
scho0ls-the old-fashioned private acad-
emy and the modern public school More
serious work was certainly done in the
private school. Our boys and girls in
the modern public schools today are
more obsessed with autos, athletics,

Many students now don't even carry
books home for night study! A partial
return to the private schools may have
advantages"
John Z. Palmer Of Warrenton, y. G.,
q teacher of Latin in the University
after his graduation in 1908, later tea
cher in private and public schools, and
mayor of Warrenton for two terms, is
one Of the most talented contributors TO
the editorial page Of the Raleigh News
and Observer. The foregoing paragraph
is quoted from his letter-to-the-editor
which appeared there last Saturday. It
was apropos Of the movement 10 set up
private schools in Warren County in
Virginia.
On the same day that his letter was
published there was d letter in the
New York Herald Tribune, from
d New York City resident, com
pairing European and American edu-
cation. Il can state unequivocally, he
wrote, that my own son, who received
his earlier education in Europe, was
more than two years ahead Of other
children in his class when he entered
an American school. The European edu-
cational system is far superior TO the
American system, which is utterly
lacking in discipline"
This opinion is frequently expressed
by persons acquainted with both sys-

them TO private schools
Quite aside from the right or wrong
Of integration, a question Of interest

private schools and public schools in
the quality Of education that they pro-
vide.
Commenting on the private schools
set up by the Warren County Educa-
t0nal Foundation IN Virginia, Mr..
Palmer asks: What does it mean? VIII

South as integration orders increase?
Will the private schools be permanent?
Can parents who have more children
than money pay the increased costs?

1t would certainly be a calamity for
the public schools to be abandoned or
weakened but the establishment of
some private schools would unquestion-
ably result in an improved education
for some children. If this benefit came
to only limited number the private
schools would be well worth while

The American University
Quartet, an excellent organiza-
ton drawn from members Of
the National Symphony, opened
its season last night at the
university in a solid program
which featured the new and the
unfamiliar of the old. The four
men wore their suit jackets
during the first number to prove
themselves not ignorant of eti-
quette, and finished the con-
cert in their shirtsleeves, in de-
ference to the heat.
The premiere of the evening
was the second quartet Of
Douglas Allanbrook, a pupil of
Piston and Boulanger and for
the last several years professor
at st. Johns College in Annap-
oils. Mr.. Allanbrook is a sensi-
tive and skillful composer, and
his work was well received by
an audience whose enthusiasm
was not noticeably dampened
by the humidity.
The work is in four move
ments of which the lyrical slow
movement is the most appealing
on first hearing. The others are
nervous and ejaculatory, and
seem to lack in some degree
both cohesion and destination.
Like the first quartet of the
composer, played a year or so
ago, the present work is we'll
worth hearing and I hope the

l8 years, is seldom heard Il dc

full whether anything that has
followed has entirely taken its

The Concerto da Camera Of
the late Boluslav Martinu is a
strong and entertaining piece,
perhaps a bit too long for its
material, which is at its best in
the first movement.
The quartet played with ease

JANGOs
Expand

The Junior Army Navy
Guild Organization wound up
q red-letter year yesterday
with an "end Of season" cof-
fee In Fort Myers Patton
Hall.
II the senior JANOs
we're congratulating them
selves they could scarcely be
blamed since for the first
time in their history they ex-
banded beyond their bor-
ders" this last year.
Under the presidency OF
Mrs. Curtis E. LeMay, wife
Of the Air Force Vice Chief
Of Staff. JANGO's reputation
for good work IN local hos
pitfalls brought them invita-
tons to establish similar
guilds in service hospitals
OUTSIDE the washington met
ropolitan area.
Mrs. LeMay gives full credit
to the interest shown by Navy
Surgeon General Bartholo-
new w. Hogan. who noting
the work done by JANGOs at
the Naval Medical Center at
Bethesda. suggested their
services in other naval install
lations.
This past year a group was
organized at the u. s. Naval
Hospital In Annapolis - but
only In the Navy dependents
wards.
Mrs. LeMay, who relin-
pushed her presidents gavel
to Mrs. William H. Drucke-
miller at the recent annual
meeting, yesterday revealed
further plans JANGO has up
its sleeve.
When Mrs. LeMay first
became a JANGO board mem
Der two years ago. the organi-
cation did not extend beyond
a 15-mile radius Of WASH
ington.
In just this last year, it has
established training classes
and units in service hospitals
at Fort Meade, Fort Belvoir,
Andrews Air Force Base and
Annapolis and expects to have
one begun In Chicago around
June l. Arrangements to start
q new one at March Field,
Riverside, Calf, are also
underway.
To meet this expansionary
phase, a new outlying guilds
committee was formed with
Mrs. Bartholomew w. Hogan
as chairman.
No new JANGo guild is
started at q hospital unless
by request Of the commanding
officer of the hospital.
In reply to his request,
Mrs. Hogan sends infor-
nation about the JANGO
program to the hospital
administrator.
The equivalent of q 100
hour training program is then
set up under supervision of
the head nurse.
JANGO is hopeful Of
setting up guilds in service
hospitals overseas wherever
United States military per-
sonnet are stationed, where
ever feasible, of course" Mrs.
LeMay emphasized.
This would not in any way
conflict with the work of the
Junior Red Cross, she pointed
out, because Of the specialized
training the JANGOs receive.

HOG KILLING TIME is
JUST AROUND CORNER

With the approach of cold wealth
err farm families throughout North
Carolina will be thinking about kill
ing hogs. Meats specialists at N. C.
State College offer a few tips for
producing high quality pork at
home.
First get a meat-type hog Zone
between 200 and 220 pounds that is
six months old and has plenty of
length and meatiness to it). The
meat from these animals will cure
easier than joints from larger ami
mails. If these animals are going to
be killed at home they should be
killed late in the evening and al
lowed to hang over night and chill
out before cutting and processing.
Do not get hogs over-eXcited be-
fore killing; this may give the meat
poor keeping qualities.
Be sure that hogs are bled
properly for better keeping quail
ty. In curing meat at home, if the
weather is not satisfactory the
meat may sour or become off
flavor. If you have a meat pro-
cessing plant or locker plant in
your area, take advantage of their
facilities for processing and curing.
Follow a recommended curing
schedule for curing meat to pre-
vent over salty meats.
When you take hams out of cure,
or get them home, be sure to hang
the hams in a fairly dry, cool place.
Also, be sure to bag those hams by
the first of March to prevent insect
damage.
Do not over load your home
freezer. Do not put in more than
10 per cent of the total capacity
of your freezer in any one 24-hour
period. If you have a large amount
of meat to go into your home
freezer, have it quick frozen at
your locker plant or processing
plant.
If you wish to have your meat
processed at freezer locker plant
or processing plant, be sure to let
them know before hand if you are
going to kill hogs or cattle so that
they can take them in and do a
quality job for you. Deliver your
animals to the place of slaughter
early in the day SO that they can
be slaughtered on the same day.
Leave cutting and curing instruc-
lions at the locker plant before you
leave.
