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.

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

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.
