Christianity, Judaism and Hin

Elsewhere, themes are de-
emphasized, according to a
Gordon teacher. I'm history it
has been the practice to follow
broad trends, but there Is a
tendency now to emphasize

Mrs. Iris Metz, who teaches
American history and English
at Gordon.
Faith Borne Out
In faShioning the social stu
dies curriculum, jefferson has
taken into account the geogra-
ply and history which ST. dents
had in the fourth, fifth and
sixth grades. ION one occasion
I found this faith borne out. A
girl said she had used her
sixth-grade notes to prepare
for an eighth-grade history dis

Thus geography at Jefferson
has little time allotted to the
physical characteristics of the
United States, since this should
have been covered in elemental
ry school.
Instead, it concentrates on
agriculture, natural resources
and commerce of the United
States and relates them too
each other. The climates. land
forms and populations of other
nations also receive more at
tention.
James F. Murray, the teach
er, attempts to show connec-
tons between these. After the

the United States, this will be

Woman, SO,
Killed byCor
harrington

A 63-year-old woman was
struck and killed today in an
accident involving a car driven
by Arlington State Senator
Charles r. Fenwick.
Police said they were I'M
certain whether a truck might
have struck the woman before
she was hit by a car operated
by Senator Fenwick.
The victim, identified by
police as Ruth Ramsey of the
400 block of Old Dominion
drive, was pronounced dead on
arrival at Arlington Hospital
after the accident on Lee high
way near North Wayne street.
There is no question thai
Senator Fenwick's car hit the
woman, but there is a question
OF whether he hit her first,
said Arlington Commonwealth
Attorney William ]. Hassar
Mr.. Hassan has ordered al
autopsy.
According to police Capt
Dudley Rector, the woman, VIII
lived with her sister, was walk
ing toward Washington on tn,
south (Side) of Lee highway al
about 6:54 am. near North
Wayne street.
Capt. Rector said a woman
who lives in the house over
looking the scene between
North Wayne and Veitch street
said she heard a commotion,
looked out the window and
saw a white truck pass. A DO
lice lookout has been broad
cast for the truck.
Senator Fenwick told police
that he did not see the woman,
but heard a thump and i'm
mediately stopped. He said
he went back to the woman,
who was lying in the street,
police reported.
Senator Fenwick told police
there was a dent in the right
front fender of his car which
he cannot explain.
Mr.. HaSsan said a hearing
would be held, probably late
this month. No charges have
been filed, Mr.. Hassan said.

Its new building, according
to plans reported yesterday at
a board meeting of the hos
pital, would be built near thu
hospital. 1t would be com
pleted about the fall Of 1865
at a cost Of about SIS to 81
million.
Probable site for the new
Hillcrest Children's Center
building is on w street between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth
streets NV, it was learned
today. This site would mean
the sale and destruction of the
Capitol formerly Turner's
Arena, now used for televised
wrestling.
Sale Considered
Spokesman for Hillcrest said
they could not reveal the site
and would not confirm that
the arena may go. But an
employe Of the arena con-
firmed that sale is being con-
sidered.
The HillcreSt Center would
retain its present name. Like
the other affiliates of the hos
pital-the Hearing and Speech
Center and the Well Baby
Clinic-it may eventually be-
come part of an overall chill
dren's medical center.
DR.. Robert H. PARROT, the
hospitals medical director, said
today that a long-range plan OF
hope" is for a medical center
in a park like area at the pres
ent site at 2125 Thirteenth

The content Of the social
studies curriculum at jefferson
differs most from the regular
program in the ninth grade. In
other junior highs, where world
history Is an elective, the
course moves from the cave
man to the 18th century dur
ing the year.
At Gordon Junior High in
late October, the ninth-grade
history course had reached the
early civilization around the
Aegean Sea and was working
with maps in its study of Crete
and the Mycenaean civilization.
Course Moves Swiftly
The world history course at
jefferson moves through the
centuries so swiftly it will
reach the goth by February. In
the second semester the class
will leave its text and use pa

It was James Madison,
1.-The Father of the Consti-
tuition" who undertook to
please the States by having
Congress pass amendments.
This was in the first session
of Congress in 1889 in New
York City Hall.
AS in recent legislation,
the first Congress wrote the
Second Amendment in con-
ference.
The House version had a
provision to exempt a con-
scientous objector from
bearing arms. The Senate
version did not have it, and
it was dropped by the con-
ferees.
Militia" at that time
meant that every able bodied
man should respond, with
fire arms, to the summons
of the States.
That's how the Second
Amendment got into the
Constitution and there it is
today.
