First School Board The history of the schools in Greeneastle, as set forth in the records of the school board of this city, may be taken as a fair indication of the growth and development of the school system in other parts of the county. A few extracts from the latter record may not be without interest. On April 26, 1853, John Hanna, mayor of the town of Greeneastle, issued to Delana R. Eckels, Russell L. Hathaway and Daniel Sigler a commission as “Trustees for Schools in the Town of Greeneastle,” these persons having been elected by the common council. The board of trustees met and selected D. R. Eckels as president. Almost the first item of business was an order “that the graded system of schools be adopted for the town.” Further proceedings were as follows: “It has been ordered that the number and classification of schools for the present year shall be as follows: Four primary schools, one of which shall be in the first ward, one in the third, one in the fourth and one in the fifth, and one high school in the County Seminary, consisting of a male and female department. “It is ordered that schools shall commence on the 1st day of June next and continue two months, after which a vacation of six weeks, and that the winter session shall commence on the 15th of September, and the summer session on the 1st of April each year, each session being four and a half months with a vacation of six weeks between them. At a meeting of the board held June 4, 1853, the following were agreed upon as salaries for the teachers: “For a principal in the male department of the high school, thirty dollars per month; assistant in the same department, twenty dollars per month, principal in the female department of the high school, twenty dollars per month and for all other teachers, fifteen dollars per month.”

In 1855, schools in the various parts of the town were in the most cases held in private dwellings. In some cases the teachers allowed their own homes to be used for school purposes and were paid suitable rent by the school trustee and in others even church dwellings were so used. Among other buildings utilized by the authorities of this period was the old Presbyterian church on the lot at the corner of Jefferson and Columbia streets in the west part of the city, but the surroundings were not calculated to promote the cause of education ,as the following report by the trustee seems to indicate: July 10, 1855 “At the old Presbyterian church we have been annoyed exceedingly by the bad boys of Greeneastle. They from time to time have broken the lights and sash out of the windows; they have broken open the doors, thereby destroying the locks, and having entered, they have broken the brooms, benches and blackboards and in other ways defiled the room. “I have tried to have the law redress these wrongs, but for lack of a faithful prosecution by those whose duty it was to see these matters made right we have been annoyed all term. I at one time handed to the mayor the names of fifteen or twenty boys who had been abusing the school house and its apendages, together with the names of the

witnesses by whom to prove same. A day was set for the trial, a jury selected and trial duly entered upon in the case of a portion of the offenders, but through ignorance of the prosecutor the jury agreed to disagree and through slothfulness and disregard of duty of the prosecutor all the offenders were set free and with a smile pronounced ‘Young Americans! ‘trundle bed trash,’ etc., thus making them worse than ever. We, however, promise all men that we will break up these nocturnal school house depredations and good men say, ‘So mote it be.’ ”

Faint Signals From Mooncraft PASADENA, Calif. UPI — Faint signals were received today from America’s Surveyor 1 mooncraft, which made an historic soft-landing on the lunar surface June 1 and returned thousands of pictures to earth before going silent July 13. Scientists at Jet Propulsion Laboratory here said a tracking station in Johannesburg, South Africa, had detected “faint, intermittent” signals from the unmanned robot. A spokesman called the signals “quite extraordinary” since Surveyor had gone through five different cycles, comparable to 14 earth days of sunlight and 14 days of darkness each. During the lunar day, temperatures soar as high as 250 degrees Fahrenheit and drop to minus 250 degrees during the night. Attempts will be made through Monday morning to obtain as much additional information as possible from Surveyor, according to the spokesman.

Climb Mountain ZERMATT, Switzerland UPI —Four hundred and fifty infantry recruits climbed the 13,000 foot Strahlhorn mountain Friday as part of their training. An army spokesman said it was the biggest such climb ever undertaken here and possibly in the world. The soldiers all carried full battle packs and weapons. WALL STREET cotter NEW YORK UPI — Newton D. Zinder of E.F. Hutton & Co. says the market has had so many false starts and temporary rallies in the past few weeks that a lot more strength is needed to restore the badly shaken confidence of traders and investors. Bache & Co. says any upside movement should be termed technical unless proved otherwise and thus the extent of any rally must be suspect. The company feels that in View of the steep market decline thus far this year, the list may be looking for support level around the 740 area of the Dow Jones industrial average. But it will take a lot of convincing to restore traders’ confidence, Bache adds.

Orders Study Of Flying Saucers WASHINGTON UPI — Air Force Secretary Harold Brown Friday ordered an 18-month “in depth” study of flying saucers. The $300,000 study will be carried out by the University of Colorado. Dr. Edward U. Condon, one-time director of the National Bureau of Standards and now a physics Professor at Colorado, will head the program. The study grew out of an agreement reached by the Air Force and the House Armed Services Committee last spring. The congressional group wanted more information about UFO’s unidentified flying objects than the Air Force’s special UFO office provided. Brown’s announcement said Colorado would have access to Air force records but would “conduct the research independently of and without direction from the Air Force.” The National Academy of Sciences will set up a panel to review the Colorado report when it comes available. Since 1947, the Air Force has investigated 10,896 reports of UFO sightings. Of these 655 still listed as “unidentified” for lack of sufficient information to reach a conclusion. Most of the other sightings were attributed to astronomical displayes such as meteors, to missiles, rockets, planes, balloons, and to hoaxes, hallucinations, psychological reasons, mirages, searchlight trails and other causes.

Three pairs bid the slam on today’s hand in a recent tournament, and two declarers took twelve tricks. The third declarer was exceptionally foolish, but one of the successful declarers should have had a guilty conscience. At all three tables West led a heart to the ace. Back came a heart, forcing dummy to ruff. All three declarers now cashed the high clubs to get rid of a

diamond.

The first declarer continued with a diamond to the king, a heart ruff in dummy and then the ace of diamonds. Unfortunately, East had discarded the nine of diamonds on the third round of hearts—and East now ruffed the ace of diamonds to defeat the slam. Pretty bad. STAGES CROSSRUFF The second declarer cashed both top diamonds and both top clubs. Then he began a crossruff, making twelve tricks. He was proud of cashing both diamonds before East discarded a diamond, but South would have gone down if East had started

with a singleton diamond. There was no need to take this risk. The third declarer led a diamond to the king after taking the high clubs. He ruffed a heart in dummy, returned to his hand by ruffing a club, ruffed his last heart with dummy’s ace of trumps, and then overtook the queen of trumps

with his own king.

Declarer drew the rest of the trumps and then took the last trick safely with dummy’s ace of diamonds. His result was only the same as the second declarer’s but at least our third player could sleep peace-

fully that night. DAILY QUESTION

Partner opens with 1 NT (16 to 18 points), and the next played passes. You hold: S-K-J-10 9 6; H-Q 9 5 3; D-K 8 3; C-8. What do you say? Answer: Bid two clubs, the S t a y m a n Convention. This asks partner to bid • major suit if he can. If partner shows a major, you will raise to four. If he bids two diamonds, showing no major suit, you will bid either two or three spades (depending on how many you have to bid to force your part-

ner to bid again).
