School Not Only Teaches History But Has Long, Interesting One Itself.

v y ‘ \ By M. I. BYRNI Written SspecidUy for Central Press and This Newspaper WHEN JUNIOR and Little Sister traipse back to school to resume their September-to-J un • battle with the No. 1 bane of childhood; Old Man Ed U. Cation they'll naturally resume acquaintance with thAt adjunct to the Three R’s —the history book. What Junior and Little Sister won't realize is that their school, itself, has quite a history, a very long one, too, though the building that houses it may be of very recent vintage. The grammar school, in fact, la one of our oldest institutions. It goes all the way back to the days of Alexander the Great, when the Greeks first thought of the idea of setting aside a place to teach the youngsters to read and to write and, perhaps, to add and subtract. Before that time, teachers came to the homes of the wealthy to instruct the children much as tutors do today. The grammar school idea was taken up by Rome in the Third Century B. C. The Roman name for it was a real jaw-breaker —Grammdtodidaskafecon! & A teacher of ancient times was something of a traveling salesman of education as witness St. Augustine of Hippo who wrote the famous Confessions. He was a schoolmaster in Rome, Milan and Carthage before he was baptized in 387 A. D. Up to the Sixth Century the schools had secular administration. Then they passed under ecclesiastical control and thus it was that the first grammar school in England was founded shortly after the conversion of the heathen English. • • » IT IS only natural that in Colonial times American grammar schools were dominated by British tradition and practice, since the textbooks were printed in England. Even after the Revolution there was little change in American school curricula and methods, though the textbooks were now printed over here. Not until the Twentieth Century did many of today's ideas on education begin to make themselves felt \ While there is quite a difference between the old “hickory stick” methods and education as it is today, it’s also a great jump from the Little Old Red School House to the gleaming glass, stone and brick temples of learning of today. For many years a grammar school was a one-room affair, poor-

McCarthy Worried Over Renomination Primary Election \ Foe On Talkathon | MILWAUKEE, UP— Sen. Joe McCarthy showed that he was beginning to worry about his campaign for renomination as his shortsleeved primary election foe “talkathoned” away the hours today. Leonard Schmitt, a small town attorney who hopes to unseat Me Carthy in the Sept. 9 Wisconsin Republican primary, hunched over a microphone in a Milwaukee auditorium answering questions from radio listeners and the studio audience. A s. His goal was to keep talking until 10 p. m. CST and set a new 26-hour “talkathon” record. The gray — haired attorney began his Vocal ordeal at 8 p. m. Wednesday. McCarthy made a sudden trip to Milwaukee to discuss jffans for his campaign for renomination to the Senate. The controversial Republican switched earlier plans to take it easy and'laid plans for a major radio address Sept. 3, which will be carried by 31 Wisconsin stations. . , McCarthy recently underwent two serious operations and has been too ill to campaign actively. He had previously said he would probably make no serious or strenuous vote-getting efforts. ; But Schmitt's “talkathons” seem to have spurred McCarthy a little cautious action. “It certainly draws attention," McCarthy said. “It's going to be an awfully rough fight.’’ • Schmitt was banking on the talkathons to sweep him to victory fn • he primary. Today’s was the urth of such marathon-like radio u-and-answer show he has . One at Madison, Wis,, ran 25 hours. \ About 75 pet cent of the questions slibmitted to Schmitt by his radio and studio audience were friendly, but some McCarthy supporters appeared at the auditorium to ask questions \worded in McCarthy’s favor.
