MY tech-NW claw was a whopper, so large that we couldn't hold graduation exestteses in the Baps list Church, because the platform *as to small, so we moved to the Congregational Church, where the platform was bigger —sand even thee we at almost UP on lap. We were 26 in all, but the claps lust before us had only eight, astd the class after us 13. We didn't wear caps and gowns, because in those unpretentious times we associated, baccalaureate garb with the baccalaureate, for some curious reason, and hadn't- devel- oped many notions. We wore handsome blue suits (mine cost $13-08, with extra pants and a. pair of suspenders) and pretty white dresses which rustled. I had one of the "parts," and did rather well. So, I asn against' any pretense of erudition that is based on quantity alone. An even hundred pupils might march down an aisle with more average know- ledge than we had, but I'd want to see it proved. The heights to which we had ascended were etudendous, and there never was a. better-educated crowd than our unacceptable e6. There was not a thing we didn't know, and we all admitted it. But stupendousness of intellect is not all I'm thinking about. There were other, less • brainy, aspects of high school we shared joyously, and all the more be- cause we, were fewer. For one thing, if anybody had a party, we all' went. You could never shine up your sixteenth birthday and have •all 100 classmates in for • winkum and spin the-bottle, but you could have 26. The sports teams, alone, con- found 'the theory of hundreds. Our squads were limited, and we never did play, football because only seven boys ever thought they'd like to try. Baseball was better, and I went- through three seasons in left field with a sub- Ratite on the bench. It made me 'flay better, for If I Coated he knight: get to play. Our pitcher and catcher never worried about that, because it anything hap- pened to them the game was called, off. We had only two tubs anyway;'; both outfielders. I believe it is much better to have sports where the number on a team uses about everybody. I remember our girls' basketball teameeomposed of six, played' a whole season and never lost a game, and never used a substi- tute. They didn't have a substi- tute. One of the girls got her picture in the papers because she scored more points in a season than anybody else anywhere, She had found out how to carom a backhand off the steampipes. Our eymnasium had been laid out bee fore basketball was invented, and plumbers had never recessed the textures. The pipes bothered vis- iting teams but not us. It seems too bad to get your squad up into two figures so a thing like basketball cells for• expensive gyms, and you lose such values as steatripipe prow- ess. I wouldn't go across the e etreet to see the Celtice beet the .hawks, but I'd go a thousand miles if I could once again see etosabelle boincing baskets Off a steampipe. She was. good, And. I know if we'd had a hundred girls put for basketball, we'd have had the pipes changed over, and there would be no such happy Merl., orer for me, It makes me think again of my ;satin class, We were three,' Ellen, Berta, and myself. There. was a rapport there which would be lost in numbers. When we got our leeegli. books, Ellen took hers home, read it that night, and at school the next morning told us how the story came out, This was a great help, fee it eliminated the need for daily assignments. We had an instructor who was will- ing to keep up with us, and we sailed through Vergil much fast- er than Aeneas ever did, Afterward, to fill out the year, we read some Horace and a, little Plautus, and got in a couple of books of Livy, after which we masted. If we'd had a class of ZOO, we'd probably have stopped just short of Vercingetorix some, where, as they do now, and we'd have worn caps and gowns with a difference. I've always thought 26 made a fine English class, too. We had the same English teacher all four years, and those of us who took French had her again. I have an idea she was the best individual teacher nve had, all along the line, and she took us through so many pleasant experiences that I realize now how poverty-stric- ken my own children are in those respects. They have had their "English" from excerpts and digests and comprehensive eeaders, and their exams have questions like "Name four books by Mark Twain." They haven't read anything by Mark Twain, you understand — at least as school work, unless you count a few paragraphs in the accredited anthology. Some- how things, are easier by the hundreds. But here's the best thing• about my 26: After 30 years 24 of us' are still gathering every five years to shake hands and share, a clam chowder. We never got Into the habit of bringing chil- dren and grandchildren,' so our little croup remains' just us. This would be otherwise if we had been 100. Dr. Conant, I think, has eerist too many schools and has let perspective. I'd like to in- vite him to our next reunion, to see a smallish class eating chow- der, 'and watch his face as his mind changes.—By John Gould in The Christian Science Moni- tor, Jockeying For Seaway Position In the early morning of April 20, hardened merchant-marine skippers will be jockeying their ships around Montreal.

Mkt 16 House Full Of Smuggled Brandy A father and son in the wild Scottish Highlands around Lair- loch had kept an illicit whisky still hidden undetected in a cave for many years, but it had be. come worn out and useless, They couldn't afford a new one, so it looked as if they'd have to go without their daily dram, One day the son came to his father in great excitement, "gxciseman is offering a reward of £25 to anyone who will give information leading to the discov- ery and seizure of a still in this areal" "Oh, the man will never find ours!" said the father, ':You would-never give away anyone's still to Exciseman,- I hope," "I was thinking of that," the son replied, "I'm sure it is the best thing to do, PI the still is done, he may as well take it, Twenty-five younds is a lot of money,' and will do us more good than it will do him," So, to keep their own cave eecret, they moved the old still to a cranny in another hillside, then went to the Exciseman and told him they'd stumbled on a still while going after straying sheep. With the £25 reward they went into Inverness and bought parts to make a new, still for £20, celebrating on the five left over!

Once she was chased into Gairloch, hut by the time the Revenue Merl were able to lance the smugglers, aided by many willing hands, had unloaded her and hidden every cask of brandy and claret. It• so happened that Sir Hector Mackenzie, of. Eileatfach, who ad' been 'away, returned unex- pectedisetO Gaielechat•this time.

The scope of the problem was etched sharpie last month by Ambrose Caliver, chief of the Adult Education Section of the United States Office of Educa- tion, -during a coneerence in Har- riman, N.Y; The highlights , of Caliver's report: Nine per cent, of the over-25 adults in the .U.S, — nearly 10 million of them (about evenly divided among 'native whites, Negroes, and foreign - born whites) — are ''functionally illi- terate" in English.
