Changing Schools
Major Problem
For Youngsters

The transition from school to
school, whether 1t occurs within
one school district or between
states, is a major uprooting for
most children, say the editors of
Changing Times magazine. Par
ents, the editors advise, can do
lot to ease the strain OF a
change.
Not all children react the same
way to the problems raised by
the shift of schools, the editors
warn, so don't be misled by sur
face calmness. Instead, antici-
pate your child's problems, and
you will help him bridge the gap
between his old and new schools.
Specifically, here are some of
the things you can do:
Let him know early that a
move is in the offing. Tell him
why and let him help in the
planning.
If at all possible, give him a
chance to visit the new school
well in advance of the move. See
whether he can meet the princi-
pal, the counselor, some of the
teachers he's likely to have, even
a few of his future schoolmates.
Avoid making your own wor-
ries known. If you fear the school
may be too tough, don't say so.
In any case, beware Of making
snap judgments.
See that the old school is pre-
pared to ship all necessary
records to the new school. Often
the hapless youngster is caught
in the middle of the confusion
that results when this is not done.
Confer with your youngsters
current teacher and principal
about his work and problems so
that you will be in a position to
discuss them with his new teach
er.

buried - 500 skulls being found
among them. The flesh was en-
tirely off the bones and in many
cases the sinews yet held them
together" The fort was built and
in commemoration of its being
recovered from the Indians, who
had held the ground since 1871,
was named Fort Recovery"
One company of artillery and
one of riflemen were left there
and the rest of the detachment
returned to Wayne's camp al
Greenville.
On June 30, 1894, when only 90
riflemen and so dragons were
garrisoned there, Ft. Recovery
was attacked by an estimated
nearly 1000 Indians, British SOL
diers and white Detroit militia,
many of the white men painted
like Indians.
The Indians and British at
tackled the fort from every side
and fought with great fury but
were repulsed with heavy loss.
They again attacked and kept up
a heavy and constant fire all
day, which was returned by the
white men inside the fort.
Night came on, foggy and dark,
giving the Indians a chance to
carry off their dead by torch
light, drawing occasional fire
from the garrison. Next morning
only a dozen or so Indian dead
remained on the ground - these
too close to the fort to be re-
covered. The attack began again
and continued throughout the day
but ultimately the Indians had to
abandon the attack and flee from
the same field where they had
been SO victorious on the 4th of
November, 1871. They had expect
ed to carry the fight for the fort
by storm and had approached it
in IL columns forming a wide
and extended front.
The Indians after defeat re-
mained at their camp, seven
miles from the fort, two nights,
doubly encumbered with their
dead and wounded. That they
were short of food and supplies
was indicated by signs that they
had killed and eaten some of
their pack horses the evening af-
ter the battle.
The white loss was % officers
and non-commissioned officers
killed and 30 more wounded. Of
the privates and enlisted men
lost no report is available. The
Indian loss is undetermined but
in later years the savages relat-
ed that their loss at Ft. Recovery
had been twice as great as in the
st. Clair defeat few years ear
lier.
In 1886 small town was laid
off by Larkin and McDaniels -
only a few houses, but named
Fort Recovery" and still ex-
istent. There through the years
many relics of the battles have
been discovered, among them a
skull with bullet, tomahawk and
scalping knife wounds in it. In
July, 1851, discovery of a skull
washed up in the street at Ft.
Recovery led to further search
and more than 60 skeletons were
dug up. All showed wounds in
aicted by the savages.
On September 10, 1851, the old
dead were reburied with great
ceremony. One hundred and four
pail bearers headed the process
sion in charge of the coffins and
the cortege behind them was a
mile long. The bones were piled
into 13 coffins and were reburied

CURED when there was a
longer than usual interval

This was due to a staging

reported. Moving and setting

would at the company's home
theater in New York.
BOlshOi Ballet Topic
Though between-act talk
at an opera usually centers
on the performance, last
night proved an exception in
several quarters. Verdi quite
often took a back seat to the
Bolshoi Ballet.
Even Rudolf Bing, Met
general manager, was found
discussing whether or not
the famed Russian troupe
would appear in Washington.
He saw the BolShoi in New
York and thought them
magnificent, he said.

The question whether sop
eraS should be performed in
their original language or in
the language Of the country
in which they're performed
also came up at the cocktail
session.
The Russian Ambassador
said that in his country most
operas, including "Rigoletto,"
are given in Russian. The
only exception, he continued,
would be when a guest artist
appears. Then the artist
