NUMISMATIC
NOTES
Rare Double Eagle
Gift to Smithsonian

President Theodore Roose-
velt's own copy of the $40
gold piece Augustus Saint
Gaudens designed at his re-
quest has been given to the
Smithsonian Institution.
The experimental high-re-
lief double eagle, one of the
great raritieS of the United
States coin series, was a gift
of Cornelius Van S. Roose-
welt. a grandson of the for
mer President.
The idea of the coin came
originally from a dinner
table conversation in 1905.
w hen Saint-Gaudens re-
ferred to the coins of ancient
Greece as almost the only
ones with any real artistic
merit, the President offered
to see that such a coin was
minted if Saint-GaudenS
would model it.
A little later. in a letter to
the noted sculptor, Mr..
Roosevelt made this sug-
gestion:
II was looking at some
gold coins of Alexander the
Great today, and I wa S
struck by their high relief.
Would it not be we'll to have
our coins in high relief, and
also to have the rim S
raised? What do you
think of this?"
The President and the
sculptor worked on the idea
for two years. The result was
a model of undoubted ar
tistic quality. The diverse
showed a standing Liberty"
holding aloft in her right
hand the torch Of enlighten-
ment and in her left the
olive branch of peace. On
the reverse was a flying eagle
above a rising sun.
A few experimental pieces
in extremely high relief were
struck at the Presidents. Or
der. In these the field is

in this years off-season classes.
Never has the figure been
as high as that, school admin
istrators say.
In the District alone. some
5000 youngsters are expected
to sign up. Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties in
nearby Maryland, and Arling-
ton and Fairfax County in Vir-
ginia expect 1000 to $500 each.
Why this sudden switch from
summer vacations to voluntary
work in the classroom
Officials Only Guessing
School officials say they can
only guess.
It used to be that most sum-
mer school students enrolled
in the off-Season sessions only
to make up their failures of the
winter before. They then could
be promoted.
But officials say many Of the
10000 enrolling this summer
are accidentally talented and
are signing up SO they can in
crease their knowledge. They
are enrolling in the enrich
ment" courses, some of which
they could not squeeze into
their heavy winter schedules.
Some officials say the latter
group will constitute two-thirds
of the 10000 enrollees -
youngsters who simply want
to get ahead"
Montgomery County officials
say the growing interest in
summer school may be credited
to the first sputnik. THE
impact of the Russian sue
cesSes has finally filtered down
to the students" one spokes-
man. said. Even at the high
school level, the students finally
realize that Russia may be
getting ahead of us, especially
in education"
There are others, however,
who argue that it's a matter OF
which came first-the in
creased concern for the Ameri-
can educational system or the
fact that many school systems
have enriched their summer
school programs to such an ex-|
tent that they're attracting.
rather than lepelling, the bet
ter students.
Many Illustrations
On the latter point there are
many illustrations in this years
Washington area OFFERINGS. l"-
cluded are courses at both ele-
mentary and secondary levels.
Most of the Districts pro-
gram involves remedial work
because the city does not have
the funds to offer enrichment
courses. But in Fairfax County,
a group of academically tai
ented high school students will
take part in special co-opera-
tive summer school program in
chemistry. Financed by a grant
from the National Science
Foundation, the course-one of
just two in the country at the
high school level - will be
taught by a professor from
