Editorial Correspondence PASADENA, Cal., March 31. There is a new highway to Mt. Wilson, where the largest telescope in the world solves riddles of tlio universe. Never having taken the trip, decided to do so, and have just returned. There are two busses a day. Not wishing to spend the night a mile up in the air, we took the morning bus. It was a bright clear day after a heavy rainstorm the night before, and we anticipated a wonderful birdscye view o Southern California from Pasadena to San Diego. . But no such luck. At the snow line we ran into clouds and stayed in them for four solid hours. So the trip was rather a washout also a freeze up. The point, holding up the bus half two degrees bove freezing on The bus was full, in fact getting on at Pasadena, wo secured the last seat. An elderly gentleman looking very much like the well known Dr. Townscnd and as long as we remained in He was from Michigan, which is different from being from Missouri: instead of having to be shown, Mr. Michigan was in a position to show others. He had just visited the Grand Canyon, the exposition at Sun Diego, and although this was his first visit to the Pacific Coast, what he didn t know about Mt Wilson, and all points of interest on the entire Santa Fe rail road wasn't worth knowing. knowledge, however, he inclined toward pessimism. As the bus passed over the Arroya SecCo bridge for cxampl he called attention to the fact that eighty men and women have jumped over the railing there to their death among the rocks and bushes below, and netting will be placed on both sides of the structure to prevent further self destruction. As there were ten women in the party, most of them school teachers not a very auspicious start. Ridge golf club, Mr. Michigan aotly 13 passengers in the conveyance, which was a bad omen, as with last night s cloudburst, Moreover, his all observing eye chains on the wheels of the bus snow would be encountered. The most annoying feature about Mr. Michigan, he was pretty generally right. We checked him up on the 13 and called attention to the fact there were 13 passengers but he had not included the driver which made it 14. He came back with the observation that this would be equivalent to trying to dispel the jinx of 13 at dinner by calling in the cook. No, there were 13, and the only escape would be for someone to get out and either walk back or hitch hike to the top. It is 25 miles from Pasadena to the summit, and the bus makes tho trip in a little over an hour. The driver was not disposed to be lute, and no one volunteered to get out, until he stopped. In spite of the reckless manner in which the rear of that bus slewed around the snow packed turns, we were all set to give the Michigan Dr. Townscnd tho merry ha-ha, when having negotiated one turn on three wheels, the bus came to a sudden stop not a foot from a mass of rock that covered over half of the highway. Michigan said it was a close call and of course it was, had that mass of rock happened to come down at the moment the bus rounded that turn, the L. A. papers would un doubtedly have had a banner for their afternoon editions. It took about half an hour to crow-bar a way through the debris, the driver doing all the work and Dr. Michigan taking all the credit. The doctor has a slender black cane with an ivory handle and the way he poked that cane under the rocks next to the crow bar, and assisted the driver, was worth going miles to see. However, we arrived safely at the hotel, and the return trip through the clouds and snow was also safely negotiated. Moreover, about a third of the way down we did get a view through a break in the clouds of a portion of Pasadena. It looked just as all cities look from the air, like a checker board, relief-map model. The doctor said it was Los Angeles but he was wrong that time, and for a wonder had no come back, when three of his fellow travellers told him so, simul taneously. School teachers somehow never get their just desserts. It is no doubt a foolish prejudice survival from our youth. It has been our observation they usually get more out of travelling than most people, and are invariably better prepared to do so. All the school teachers, for example, brought their rubbers and umbrellas and galoshes on this trip. None of tho others did, not even the omniscoent doctor. As a result' tho school mams walked from the hotel to the observatory, saw both the 100 and the 60-inrh telescopes, fed 'the deer, talked with the astrono mers and snow shovelers and returned to the hotel in A-l con dition. The others were soaked to their knees, found one obser vatory quite enough and had to spend an hour before the hotel fircplaco to get dried out. Well, we learned one or two things about telescopes, that is, modern ones, they aren't made up of lenses, and they don't "telescope" in the generally accepted sense of the term. They are huge reflectors, fixed in steel contraptions that resemble bridge girders, no one looks through them, the light is merely reflected from one mirror to another, then perhaps to a third and finally upon a photographic; plate. The astronomer then studies the plate. Practically all important astronomical obser vations here at Mt. Wilson and elsewhere are nhotocranhie. The astronomer in reality doesn't study the heavens, he studies photographic plates. Of course Dr. Michigan knew all about this, and all about the new 200-inch glass that is enroute from Corning, N. V., to Mt. Wilson. But we had it on him again ! hero for the new telescope will be placed near San Diego, no: at Mt. Wilson. So there were a few bright spots on this disap pointing trip. Last ninht, in spite of the cloudburst, we went to hear Albert Spalding, the foremost American violinist, play at the Civic auditorium. Mr. and Mrs. Pasadena were out in their best bib and tucker. It was really astounding tho things this j nephew of the late A. 0. Spalding, the baseball and sporting ! goods "tycoon," could get out of that violin, what tone, what virtuosity, what absolute mastery at all times. Yet to us, at least, there was something lacking. We decided it was feeling i not in the violin, hut in the violinist. Technically we should say there wasn't a flaw; emotionally, there was a strange separii- ' lion between the instrument and the man. Here we thought was an artist who had mastered his medium, but refused to be mastered by it if you know what we mean. ..... Like most smart audiences out en masse to hear a grout violinist, this one was conscientiously enthusiastic, the ap plause was loud ami persistent. Hut the majority were disap pointed. For they applauded, not so much because I hey enjoyed the classical numbers they heard, hs because they longed fur an encore that would be simple and melodious and familiar say Hiimoresquc or Ave Maria but they didn't get it. When the perfectly groomed and meticulous Mr. Spalding gave an encore, it was to repeat the number that had been received so enthus iastically, which is perfectly logical and a credit, no doubt, to the man's artistic integrity, but revealed we believe, another facet of the same quality, that prevents him from being a SL'PKK.MELY CKKAT artist. -K.

Beverly TEACHER TELLS One old fogy teacher seriously as sured mc that it Is the teacher's duty to assign enough home work to alt the pupils to keep them off the street after school I But that Isn't the tact we are eolnz to hear f about.". T h . the tale of tact Is a young teacher, of 1 A grade children six or seven years of age. One of her pu- plis "who we shall call Mary," the teacher decides before I can christen the child Cyril, had a vomiting attack every morning while on line In the basement. Sounds like a quaint old lock-step formation, doesn't It? But It is a public school, believe it or not. The teacher explains that one of the rules of the school, evidently presid ed over by a martinet, la that classes assemble ten minutes before they come to the classroom morning and afternoon, standing In line and In silence In the basement waiting for the lynx-eyed drill sergeants, the , teachers, to permit them to go to i their classroom. That sort of thing ! is still perpetrated with great relish by antediluvian pedagogues In the schools In some communities. Mary is a well-behaved, bright child and Is not coddled or spoiled. After being In class ten minutes sometimes she would vomit again. I Mary's mother took her to the fam-! ily physician, who looked her over and said she was perfectly well and he could find no physical cause for vomiting. The young teacher had noticed that when children first come to school they are often afraid, afraid the teacher, afraid of other chil dren. So she told Mary's mother to tnke Mnry up the teachers' staircase Just as the lines were passing up stairs and leave her at the classroom door as the other children were marching in. The first day Mary was sick only once. After that she was never sick. A few days later mother left her on the staircase and she came to the classroom herself. Teacher took pains to give Mary a star now and then for good work, such as the other pupils received. After two weeks Mary came to teach er and said "Miss Blank, I went on line In the basement this morning and came tup with the other girls." Teacher showed aut table pleasure at this, and Mary was delighted with herself. So It seems to teacher that a little tact Is better In such cases than the force I suggest. What force teacher has In mind I do not know. I have never sug gested force for any such case. I have suggested quietly Ignoring the trouble, or placing the child tn a private school where he or she will be under the complete control of teachers who know how to deal with children, or else turned loose In the nearest public school and left to the corrective discipline of the other pupils In his class. Parental coddling and pampering Is the thing to avoid. I see nothing wrong with the way this young teacher handled the case. She gave an excellent performance of painless pedagogy.
