WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Talking, as we were in this
space last week, about the
violent arguments still raging
between proponents of the
p h onic and the "see-say'
schools of reading instruction
I should like to note one fur

The sight-reading experts
have invented a new name for
the method which did so much
harm to several generations OF
school children.
The method itself, Of course
is as old as the Chinese al
phabet or the most primitive
methods of communication
picture writing. The chief diff
ference is that our children
have been expected to assimi-
late several hundreds or thou
sands of whole words, without
ever knowing that each is made
up Of some combination of 26
simple letters.
Now about that new name.

the right term) was called

an attempt to add a simple,
folksy flavor, it was labeled the
"see-say" or "look-and-say''
method. But now the educators
have come up with something
new. apparently in an effort
to lend some dignity to their
gradually losing cause. The
new name for "see-say" is
"configuratisfn."
Puzzled? Well, you're no
more puzzled than your chill
dren have been these past 80
years when faced with pages
full of strange lines and dots
with no more hint to their
meanings than some pictures,
usually poorly drawn, of OBJ
jects they represent.
The educators responsible for
"see-say" remain in control of
school curricula in most cities,
which explains why only Wash
ington. D. c., has officially an
nounced its return to phonic
(alphabet first, words later
instruction. But the change is
far more sweeping than this
indicates. In city after city
reading teachers are quietly re-
introducing the phonic method,
frequently in combination with
"see-say" because they have to
use the texts on hand. With
only one exception, all reading
textbook series published in the
last 20 years have been "see-
say" pardon me, "configura-
tistic"). But a gradual return
to sanity and phonics is the
order of the day.

on the ground, two or three took
turns at stamping their victim.
Finishing the torture to the salts
faction of all, they threw the in
jured one over a horse and head
ed for camp, yelling first and
concluding with a victory song.
Once in camp their number
began to swell until there were
fifty or more Indians singing and
yelling. Finally the uproar stop
ped as they halted in front of a
large lodge which was in about
the center of the camp.
Grover could see the picture
writing on the lodge, and knew
by 1t that this was one of the
head chiefs lodge. The captive
was dumped, roughly, to the
ground and fell on a piece of
wood, which almost caused him
to scream with pain.
From the lodge stepped quite
a tall Indian. Despite the rather
warm weather, he was wrapped
about the waist with bright red
blanket. As the blanketed one
approached the helpless victim,
q hush fell over the yelling, sing
ing warriors. Observing Grover
momentarily, the important one
spoke, where did the white
snake come FRONT"
One Of the captors answered,

During this conversation Grow
er had managed to turn his head
far enough to see the newcomer,
and recognized him at once as
being Yellow Moon of the Chey-
enneS. Although Grover had new
er seen him before, he knew him
by . very heavy scar through his
mouth and chin. The chin was
parted in such a way that at the
first glance it gave the impress
sion that there were two chins.
Yellow Moon was known to be
leading one of the most treach-
erous bands of all the Cheyenne
nation. He was a topic of CONVEX

sation on the entire frontier. He
had received the scar some fiji
teen SHOWS before while helping
a band of Cheyennes raid some
white trappers, who were east of
the Teton range of mountains on
Elk Calf Creek. He had been
dubbed in the mouth in a hand
to hand fight. A trapper had hit
him with his rifle. The chief
spoke again, "Tie the white dog
to a stake in front of my lodge
for all to see until / decide wha.
to do with him." At the finish of
his command, the chief turned
and walked to his lodge.
Yelling and singing broke loose
again among the rest of those
gathered around. A post was then
driven into the ground. By the
hands, and in a sitting position,
Grover was tied to it with raw
hide. There he stayed for the
rest of the day without food or
water, and for all in camp to

About two hours before. sunset,
Grover heard a camp crier call
to all the head men of the camp
to come at once, to the lodge of
Yellow Moon. The purpose of the
meeting was to feast and then
decide the fate Of the captive

him. Six went in and all Of the
others stood outside. They hurl-

Grover remained silent.

lesser chiefs. With two guards
behind him, Grover was placed
just inside the door and a little
to the left. His swollen hands
were still tied and blood was
caked in his hair from the scalp
wound. AS soon as all were In
their places, Yellow Moon reach
ed over to his right and brought
forth a very large, stone pipe,
called by the Indians, the big
bowled pipe. He placed it in
front of himself. Next he reach
ed to his left and came forth with
a sack of tobacco and sage leaves.
Taking some of the sacks con-
tents he mashed them up well
between his hands and then fill
ed the big bowled pipe to the
top. Raising both hands and look
ing to the heavens he began the
ceremony.

on my people and make us great
judges" He held his hands to
the ground in front of him and
continued, "Oh, People of the
Earth, be merciful and give us

big bowled pipe with his right
hand and holding it in front of
his body, he spoke, with the
sacred power of medicine pipe,

pipe and shouted to his squaw,

As if she had been waiting for
the command, in stepped the In
dian woman carrying small
heap of live Goals piled on a flat
rock. Setting her load down she
bowed to the earth, turned and
left the lodge. Yellow Moon now

thus helping to prevent injury.
A minimum of three weeks of
conditioning are recommended
prior to the first game of the
season. Coaches and doctors
are alert to the fact that many
injuries occur when the player
is tiring and thus less alert.
The coaches are quick to make
substitutions when a player be-
gins to slow down.
Careful coaching enables the
players to perform better and
thus become less prone to in
jury. Most of the regular school
teams have proper coaching
today, and the coaches aremore
than ever before alert to meth
DDS of safeguarding their play
ers from injury.
Good officiating makes for
better games and also helps
to@protect players. Officials in
the organized schoolboy and
college leagues must meet
careful standards. Proper e.
quipment and facilities also are
important to reduce injuries.

Football is rough contact
sport and inevitably will pro-

aren't serious and the lads con-

A thorough physical examin-

boys preparing to go out for
football. Take your boy to the

make certain that the lad has
no physical conditions that
should be noted before he be-

aesthetics? If it's the majority, then
how is it the minority are the ones
considered well-dressed? Everything
is only exactly what it is. If a man
wears the kind Of clothes that pleases
him, then, providing they're clean
and don't shock society, morals, and
little children, what is the difference

WeU-dressed President
Whom do I consider sUell- dressed?
The man who comes Immediately to
mind is our esteemed President John
F. Kennedy. His clothes are formal,
yet sufficiently casual; casual yet suf.
6ciently formal. He wears them with
ease, neatly but without fastidious-
ness or sef-consciousness. He pre-.
sents, at least to me, a picture of
exactly what he is: a well-bred, intelli-
gent. Informed modern man.
Any other thoughts on clothes?
Yes. Somewhere ] read that Har.
wards Professor Archibald MacLeish
was asked by student about to grad
uate into our highly competitive world
what advice he could give him. Pro-
fessor MacLeish's answer was, 'Wear

up. Nothing can spoil an otherwise
wel-groomed effect like sagging socks.
Don't stuff your pockets with heavy
articles and bullying wallets filed with
seldom-used cards. They ruin not
only the neatness of your appearance
but the actual tailoring Of your suit.
Don't be a snob about the way
you think you dress. Snobbery is
only point in time. Be tolerant and
helpful of the other fellow he is
yourself of yesterday.
Don't oueTbsy. When you con-
template an article, judge whether or
not it harmonizes with items you
already own. Again. avoid exaggera-
ton Of current fashions. It's best to
be inconspicuous. But inconspicuous
does not mean dull. Extreme dullness
can be conspicuous in itself. just do

Splendid advice even by itself,
but it's probable that the Professor
meant not only his Sunday or best
suit, but also his Sunday or best
smile, disposition, and behavior -
knowing that each begets the other.
So wear. not only your clothes, but
YOURSELF, well, with confidence. Con-
6dence, too, is in the middle of the
road. being neither aggressiveness nor

continually adds to self-con6dence.
So if knowledge Of clothes makes

it just as much as you would any
