Both girls were good horse

The horse approached Mount

SEND A KID TO CAMP
12-Yeor-OId Forced
Into on Adults Role

The hours between school
and supper are a time of free
dom and play for most boys,
but not for George.
At IL, George is the head
of the house.
Since his heavy-drinking
father left home several
months ago. George has been
asked to come home from
school and watch his younger
brothers and sisters until his
mothers working day is over.
AS a rule. he manages to
play baseball for awhile be-
tween supper and bedtime.
But when his little sister was
in the hospital recently, his
mother visited her every night.
George looked after the others
evenings, too.
Responsibility will weigh on
George even more heavily this
summer. when the younger
children, out of school, will
have to be watched all day.
His mother realizes how
much she is asking of him, and
already has arranged for a
relative to care for the younger
children if George can go to
camp.
But only you can send him
there.
Your gift to The Evening
Star Summer Camp Fund will
mean the world to a fun-loving
boy, not yet in his teens, who
has been forced into a mans
role.

AT THE START a very
pretty girl spelled a term of
measure as gage" That's
the way the English spell it.
The interrogation said she was
wrong. DR.. Farley started
stirring in his seat in protest,
and with that the Rambler
let it be known, perhaps a
little loudly, that gage" is
the way it appears in the
Oxford English Dictionary.
The interrogation reconsid-
cred. AS 1t turned out it is
an alternate in the Merriam
Webster Dictionary, which
we were given for our guide.
The bee was quite discon-
certing. Before 1t was over,
the Rambler would have
spelled seize" as "sieze."
Not on paper, mind you. Any
seasoned newspaperman
knows right from wrong in
his tipping.
But he was glad that he
was not the interrogation, a
doctor of philosophy from
the Midwest. The interro-
gator called for "succinct."
When a girl spelled it sue
cint," he called it correct.
When the judges objected
that she had failed to give
the third &C" he ran to the
dictionary to see If there
wasn't an alternate spelling,
"succint." Don't tell me
educators under 40, the pro-
gressive crop, can spell.
After the spelldown, DR..
Farley and the Rambler went
to the Gas Light Club across
Sixteenth street from the
Statler-H Hilton. This is COM
mencement week at the club.
Our waitress, wearing a
sweater with a varsity G,
said it did not stand for
Georgetown, but for the club.
While we waited, she was
humming "Boola- Boola," a
Yale song, and High Above
Cayuga's Waters" a Cornell
song.

Bourd Studies
Health Exums
For Pupils

The District School Board is
considering a requirement that
all new pupils undergo a
physical examination.
The examination would be
made by the child's physician,
health clinic or q school
physician.
Board members who heard
the proposal yesterday ques-
toned whether school officials
could enforce the requirement.
Under present rules, a child
found to have a communicable
disease can be expelled and
each child is required to have
a smallpox vaccination.
The proposal, which will re-
ceive further study, is con-
tanned in a report which seeks
to reorgsnize the present school
health setup.
A major recommendation
calls for two "co-ordinators. 4"
one serving under the Board
of Education and one under the
Health Department, to attempt
to bring some order to the con-
fusing lines of authority which
now exist in school health
services.
School Supt. Carl F. Hansen
favors the change. DR.. Daniel
L. Finucane, health director, is
preparing a report on the pro-
posal.
DR.. Preston A. McLendon
member of the board who
started a study of the situa-
ton. said yesterday he believes
a one-man control would be
better than the two co-ordi-
majors.
No action was taken and the
recommendations were held UP
pending further study.

The
Rambler
Has q
Wonderful Day
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

The Rambler had a glori-
GUS time yesterday. He was
Judge at a spelling bee.
1t was sponsored by the
National Education Associa-
ton in its new building at
Sixteenth and M streets NV,
part of the convention pro-
gram of the Future Business
Leaders, high school pupils
taking business courses.
1t was interesting and
heretical that in this temple
of the educationiSts there
should be staged. an unfor-
tunate throwback of the little
red schoolhouse.
The spelling bee has long
been discarded. Everything
about 1t is wrong. 1t breaks
the social pattern. In the
spelldown 1t becomes all too
apparent that some pupils
are smarter than others.
Therefore It is undemocratic.
While interesting, it was
disappointing as far as this
Judge was concerned. The
pretty girls were the first to
be eliminated. The lovely
young lady who sat sideSad-
die was a little disturbing.
Her pallor called for second
thought. She had no cheek
rouge. She became indig-
nant when her small a"
became confused with "i".
But she was not from the
deep South. She was from
Kentucky.
An interrogation called the
words and adjudged the
spelling, and occasionally
turned to the judges for con-
firmation.
The Rambler was glad the
role of judge was secondary.
He was becoming confused
about the words ending with
'ible" or "able." But he was
fortunate in this: the man
on his left was DR.. (Ph.DO
Belmont Farley, who has
been a Judge at the National
Spelling Bee for 10 years.
However, Dr.. Farley had to
give him the bad news-there
is no rule that differentiateS
words ending with "ible"
from those ending with
cable"

Courage Praised
Attorney Preston c. King,
testifying as chairman of the

called Judge Hart a man of
great courage and an excellent
lawyer who has proved himself
to be a good judge.
Commissioner David B. Kar-

Mr.. Tobriner, president of
the board. was the most articu-
late in his criticism. He made
these points:
/. Unless the system is to be
rich in counselors which it IS
not. there is a good chance a
brilliant child would remain in
the basic" track throughout
his elementary days.
2. Children would be strait
fed largely on the basis Of 10
tests.
3. An honors programme be
started in the fourth grade
would create competition Of a
type that a youngster might not
be able to handle.
Mr.. Tobriner said he would
like to see the plan tried out in
one or two schools.
Proposal Defended
School Supt. Carl F. Hansen.
author of the four track pro-

several seasons, since she ap-
peared here in Christopher
Fry's '"The Dark Is Light
Enough"
Dear Liar" you see, is a
departure, a kind of tranquil,
nostalgia evening in the thea
ter. Specifically, it is a reminis-
cence-using the original ma
terials-of the 40-year love
affair between Mrs. Patrick
Campbell and Bernard Shaw. 1t
is based in large part upon the
letters exchanged by the pair
over four decades and if it's
mood is one of slippered,
dressing gowned serenity, this
seems somehow as it shouiid be.
There is something to be
said for memories of love be-
tween two such vibrant, We
hement humans, and Mrs.
Campbell did not quite say it
all when she described the
romance as one between lust
less lions at play" There was
really much more to it than
that, in its paSsionleSS way, so
much Of it so revealing of the
particularly of two Of the thea
ter's most vivid personalities.
Miss Cornell, speaking for
Mrs. Campbell, says it with the
warmth and wit of an en-
chantress who is amused that
her suitor never gets beyond
advances" Brian Aherne, her
sole associate in Dear Liar"
as Shaw, speaks with a poetic,
vegetarian petulance that he
could never talk his way out
of this particular emotion in
his life.
Between them, they illustrate
to perfection the truth of the
adage, Love me little, love me
