Shawnees lived at Pequea vii
lage which was located on the
lower Susquehanna River. The
Susquehannocks lived at Cones
toga Creek, a tributary of the
Susquehanna while the Conoys
lived at Conejohale on the Sus-
q u e h anna. Some of the
5 h awnees and the Conoys
moved to the Conocheague
site. Old Charter in later
years traded with the Shawnees
and the Conoys on the An
tietam and the Conocheague
Creeks. John Hans Steelman,
the Dutchman, traded in Mont
gomery County after Charter
left. James Paterson was trad
ing at Indian Towne Monoc-
acy" in 1712. The Susquehan-
nocks were called Conoys in
Pennsylvania. When the Conoys
left Montgomery, the Shawnees
took over their hunting
grounds. Old Martin Charter
practically spent his entire life
living among the Shawnees. He
and a group of them returned
to Lancaster County where he
died. He was buried at Wash
ingtonboro, Pa. and his grave
site is not very far from the
banks of the Susquehanna. Col.
John French told the Maryland
Governor that the Shawnees,
Senecas and the Tuscaroras
had intermarried and were
cousins.
When the Shawnees moved to
the Conocheague site, the Tus-
caroras moved into Indian
Towne Monocacy." They made
a treaty with the Iroquis. They
claimed that they were related
to the Senecas, and now they
sought their protection after
they were defeated and driven
out of North Carolina. They
left the New River Area early |
in February 1712.
After the Shawnees left the
banks of Susquehanna, they |
found new site in Baltimore
County which was known as
"Shawan"; but finally moved
to Indian Towne Monocacy."
When the Tuscaroras moved in,
they left for the Linganore |

Pupils will be expected to
write extensively for variety
of purposes. This will include
creative writing as well as the
writing of reports, letters, etc.
Revisions for excellence will be
expected. Composition serves
purposes far beyond mere ia
cility in putting words together
in sentences. 1t improves and
refines thinking, and becomes a
of self-expression, thus
contributing to self-realization.
Much written expression will
be required from the earliest
grades. While accuracy and
facility of expression are de-

History Of Indians
In Our Counties

In 1892, Martin CHARTERS led
a band of Shawnees from the
Illinois River Country to the
Chesapeake Bay region. Char
tier claimed the Shawnees lived
in what is now the States of
Indiana and Illinois. He brought
this band of Indians with him
after La Sales death. They
visited Bohemia Manor and
later settled on the banks of
the Susquehanna River. Later,
they moved to Baltim or e
County but finally settled at
Indian Towne Monocacy."
Later, a few of them settled in
the Linganore Hills, while the
majority of them moved to
Winchester and Old Town. The
Shawnees lived in three-sided
log cabins with bear skins hang
ing in the front section. The
Tuscarors and Conoys lived in
wigwams while the Senecas
lived in Long Houses" made
of a framework of poles which
We're covered with bark and
skins. The Conoys always pro-
tected their villages with stock
AIDES of wooden poles. Each
family had plot to grow and
cultivate their corn and beans.
They made succotash with corn
and beans. They manufactured
Indian Meal, smoked tobacco,
played games on the commons
in front of the main camp.
Their corn was called maize.
Natural boundaries such as
mountains and rivers were al
ways observed and respected by
the Indians. The squaws main
tanned a certain influence over
the warriors. The Indians only
used water until the white
traders came and then they
found out what Fire Water"
was really like. Fire Water
caused a lot of trouble for the
settlers in later years. Smoking
was universal among the war
riors and the sages. They used
commando tactics usually am
bushing their adversaries. In
warfare, they were guerilla
fighters. They raised maize
ard made Indian Meal from
which they baked cakes later
known as Johnny Cakes"
They roasted fish, fowl, deer
and bear meat. Each camp
maintained many hunting dogs.
By 1713 most of the Mont.
gomery and Frederick Counties
Indians were living on the
banks of the Susquehanna
River in accordance with the

schedule. Music is looked upon
as an intellectual as well as an
emotional experience. Art is
neither a tranquilizer nor stimu-
liant for psychological condition
ing but has a value in and of
itself.
On Firm Ground
Anidon School does not rep
resent a return to the so-called
traditional philosophy of educa-
ton, but neither is it a blind
rejection of traditional educa-
ton into which has so often
been the battle cry of the So
called progressives. Amidon
recognizes the advantages OF
direct, systematic instruction in
basic and well defined subject
areas, and, at the same time,
utilities the great advances in
knowledge about the nature of
learning made possible through
so-called progressive education,
to create a new and successful
approach. Amidon represents
professional answer to a profes-
sional problem. The RESPONSE
bility for conceiving, developing
and producing Amidon was as.
summed by professional people
who thereby reaffirmed their
right to professional status. BY
the same token, Amidon is not
the end-all in education, but a
carefully devised first step in a
new direction. From what / saw
at Amidon, that first step has
placed District education on
some very firm ground.

that without these tools, reason

System
Amidon School goes about the
task it has assigned itself very
Systematically. The subjects
which are to be taught are care
fully defined. They are Reading,
Writing, Spelling, Penmanship,
Speaking, Grammar, Mathemat-
les, Science, United States His
tory, Geography, Music, Art
and Health and Physical Educa-
ton. Each subject is scheduled
in a weekly program on a pre-
determined time allotment plan.
Direct instruction in these sub
jects has first priority. Large
Institutional unit organizations
around so-called "centers of in
terest' are relegated to a pure.
ly supplemental role and where
used, are required to be care
fully planned as to goals and

ject and subject, will be shown
by the teacher. For example,
the study of a poem may re-
quire word analysis, or some
elements of history, or science,
or geography. Such connections
are not left to chance discovery
by the pupils, but are to be in
duced by skillful teaching or are
to be directly pointed out by the
teacher. The Amidon Plan
says:
1T is often said that when the
learner finds out for himself
he learns best. This is good up
to a point. If all learning is
based on the finding out pro-
cess, the amount, quality, and
efficiency of the product are
questionable. Too long over
stressed, the prevailing recapitu-
lation theory of learning has de-
layed and INSTRUCTED the learn
ing process"
The individual must build on
what has been learned by
others. If he wants to know how
many feet there are in a mile
he should be expected to meas
ure the distance for himself.
Direct importation of needed
knowledge, therefore, will be
prominent in the Amidon me-
thology."
Discipline Prevails
In the classroom, discipline
prevails. Not the discipline of
harshness but the welcomed
orderliness of well known rules
of behavior. Self-directed pupil
activity is not acceptable unless

Referendum on Wheat
To Be Held Thursday

Wheat producers who are ELI
gible to vote in the Thursday
wheat marketing quota refer
endum will be limited to those
producers in commercial wheat
states who raised more than
12.5 acres of wheat in 1853,
1860 or 1861, according to Viii
liam L. Dudley, chairman of
the Maryland Agricultural
.Stabilization and Conservation
COMMITTEE.
Producers who signed appli-
cations under the feed wheat
provisions permitting them to
grow wheat for feed use only
on their farms for 1861 will not
be eligible to vote.
At least two-thirds of the
! growers voting in the referen-
dun must approve wheat quo
! tas if they are to become eff
fective. Under quotas, farm
l ers participating in the 1862
Wheat Sterilization Program
would be eligible for mini
fmum national average price
support of So per bushel on the
fwheat they produce in 1862
This price reflects 84.4 per cent
sof the August, 1861, parity
sprice.
The wheat Sterilization pro
gram will also provide pay
sments for deyoting diverted
wheat acreages to conservation
fuses. In those cases where tex
acess" wheat results from non
compliance with a farms acre
sage allotment, marketing pen
salties will apply.

quotas, there will be no restric-
ton on wheat marketing and
no wheat sterilization pay
ments,, but allotments will re-
main in effect as a condition

of parity, as directed by law.
Since those who vote in the

eide the kind of program that
will be in effect for the next

that every eligible voter cast

Walter Rups
Post Editorial
Second Time

Chairman Walter, of the
House Committee on Un-Amer-
lean Activities, today criticized
for the second day in a row a
Washington Post editorial he
implied might have been writ
ten by a former member of
Communist fronts.
The Pennsylvania Democrat
charged in the House this aft
ernoon that the editorial was
wrong in questioning whether
Communists led a disturbance
at a subcommittee hearing in
San Francisco last year.
Holding up a large framed
photograph, he told the House
that it was taken in the hear.
ing room at the time of the
disturbance. He pointed out
three men he said were Com
munist Party leaders in Cali
fornia or New York.
Doesn't Identity
/ Mr.. Walter did not refer
specifically to his statement
yesterday in an exchange of
remarks with Representative
Hoffman, Republican of Mich
igan, concerning authorship of
the editorial. AS quoted in the
Congressional ecord this
morning he said: IT am not
so sure that editorial was not
written by a former member
of the Communist fronts who
writes editorials for the WASH
ington Post. 1t sounds like the
line he usually indulges in"
Mr.. Walter did not identify
any one.
An official of the paper
called the implication com
pletely false"
The matter came up when
Mr.. Hoffman asked what Mr..
Walter thought about the
editorial which criticized a re-
quest for the printing of $4,000
copies of a committee report
on the San Francisco disturb.
ance.
I Mr.. Walter said "All the left
wing press, particularly the
Washington Post, have been
very critical of this motion
picture"
! Post Replies
In a statement published in
the Post today, j. r. Virgins.
editor and executive vice presi-
dent of the paper, declared:
"The implications of the
statement by Congressman
Walter, Of which he says he is
not sure, are, in fact, completely
false. He could have made sure
they are false by simple in
quiry at the Washington Post"
The House remarks closed
with Mr.. Hoffman saying that
as have read the Post over
the years they seem to be a
part Of the Communist Party"
Mr.. Walter said, They are
lending great aid and comfort
to the international con-
spiracy." i
