Lying in the astronomer’s background is the little red school house whence so many eminent Americans have come to take significant part in the life of this nation. This particu- lar seat of elementary learning was in Ohio, and there at 17 he had graduated from student to teacher. One summer during his career as a youthful peda- gogue he registered for the sum- mer course at Ohio Normal, and there an incident occurred des- tined to affect his life. He looked through a telescope. He just looked, that was all, and then returned to the more im- portant task of getting an edu- cation. But even in later years, as a graduate student at Johns Hopkins, working for a doctor's degree, that peep through a tele- scope of no extraordinary pow- er, yet larger than any glass he had ever before seen, lin- gered in his mind and intrigued him. came to a lecturer tory in 1913, and while much of his work was concerned with this earth, its flora, fauna, fish and other man- omers association heavens, and is credited with having omer to popularize the science understanding.

When she came to long skirts, as the saying used to be, she had to give up baseball, but love for the sport was firmly established in her. As teacher in an elementary school in Three Rivers, she watched with pain and with cumulative repug- nance the efforts of her boys to express the national pastime. But, herself being a sandlot prod- uct, there was nothing much she could do about it, Time then came when shé was elevated to the post of principal, and last year she came to New York as a student in the summer season of teachers’ college, Columbia university, working toward a master’s degree in elementary education. Appearing again this year, she registered for the course in baseball which the faculty instituted last year for the first time. Now, under instruction from a dis- tinguished faculty consisting of Pro- fessors Gordon, Selkirk, Gomez, Pearson and Rolfe of the Yankee school of thought and Professors Gumbert, Danning, Jurges and Ter- ry of the Giants, she expects to have learned enough by the time she re- turns home to take her boys in hand and teach them the iniquity of throwing to first when a runner is bound for second on an infield poke; the time and place for squeeze plave, and all sorts of inside stuff. She will not, she says, play herself; she will be quite content to be coach.

By JANETTE STEVENSON MURRAY HILIP is six years old and at- tends the university elementary school a mile and a half from his home. He goes on the streetcar, transferring at the downtown sta- tion. It was during the first cold snap in November that he arrived at school one morning and found the door locked. Bobbie, whose mother had just let him out of her auto at the corner and driven home, was in the same plight. A neighbor had promised to phone the mothers of these two boys that there would be no school but had forgotten to do so. “Say, Bobbie, we can just go back on the streetcar. See, 1 have my nickel,” said Philip. “But 1 haven't any nickel,” re- plied Bobbie. “Mama always comes for me." “Oh, maybe we can phone her,” suggested Philip. “My mother won't be home for she takes Brother to the kindergarten and goes to her classes. Let's go in the schoolhouse, There's a phone in the office, I know.’ “But the door's locked," said Bob- bie, tears gathering in his eves. “Yes, it's locked,” said Philip as he turned from fumbling with the handle. “"Oo-00! It's cold!” The boy, with only a light overcoat for pro- tection, shivered in his socks and short trousers. ‘“‘Bobbie,”” he said, “1 don't know the way home, do you?” “No, I never went home alone,” and Bobbie began to cry. Although Philip knew Bobbie only as he had seen him in class, it never occurred to him to use his own nickel and go home, leaving Bobbie alone. “Oh, stop crying,” said Philip, on the verge of tears himself. “I don't know what to do-—but we have to do something, Kid, or we'll freeze. Say! why can’t we follow the street- car track? The car that always takes me has to go on that track. I know where your house is when I'm on the car." He grabbed Bobbie's hand and they began their long trutige back on the sidewalk beside the rails, down through the town where Philip always transferred and then along by the other car line. They were very cold and the biting northwest wind hindered their progress. Teach Self-Reliance. “Oh, what are the boys doing here?” exclaimed Bobbie's mother as the boys appeared. “The door was locked. There wasn't any school,” cried Bobbie. “But how did you ever find your way home?" “Why, we just followed the tracks ‘cause that's the way the cars go,” said Philip in a matter-of-fact tone.
