vised. I'll just keep my cows

Mrs. Herbert Church writes
from Lausanne, Switzerland,
her doubts about the goose
that sojourned for a few days
on my pond being headed
south. She recalled that last
year a flock of Canada geese
spent the winter on the Po-
tomac River nearby.
Sitting on the Alpine heights,
Mrs. Church has failed to re-
member that there are geese
and other geese. Some. like
northern robins, do not winter
as far south as others.
My goose, I am sure, had
nothing in common with the
Potomac River geese. He un-
doubtedly was once a leader
OF his flock. displaced now by
a younger and stronger gander.
And I am sure that he has
flown on down along the
coastal regions of Georgia
where he is at this moment
enjoying the warm, southern
sun.

After IS years Of close as

tury, she has no peer. AS the
coach of a victorious soccer
team. she is a sport among

And as a friend to the thou
sands of youngsters who have
passed through her clasSrooms,
she still can recall most OF
them by name,' antics and
present status. Mrs. Howes
hasn't forgotten a pupil yet.
A native of Montgomery

1914 from what then was
known as Rockville High
School, and still wouldn't

The school now is known a.

public school education as o
concomltant to a strong demo-
cratic society.
No sooner did he finish the
study on the American high
schools than he was called upon
to make a Nation wide study Of
the American junior high
school program. DR.. Conant has
been asked by the Carnegie
Corp. which supported his sec
ondary school study, to delve
into the problems relating to
junior highs.
The study. DR.. Conant said
last week, will take at least q
year. perhaps longer. DR.. Con-
ant has assembled a staff Of
experts in the field, to help him
assemble information and data.
When completed. educators be-
lieve. the junior high school
study will be the most COM
plete and comprehensive ac-
count of this movement yet
made in the United States.
At present the junior high
school movement has grown to
giant proportions in this coun-
try. Formerly the schools were
divided on an eight-four basis
eight years in elementary
school and four years of high
school. Today. in most cities,
the schools are divided on a
six-three-three basis-six years
Of elementary, three years Of
Junior high and three years Of
senior high school
The junior high school study
may help set up the pattern Of
American public school pro-
grams for a generation to
come.
