While in Rollins, Robertson was addressed one cvening by Smith, who spoke to him of the difficulty of finding work. Although he could not tell just why. Robertson felt that the man acted suspiciously, and he later realized that it was he who had been involved in then-famous editor killing in Kelso. | “At the time, I was working on a train robbery case, and was too involved in it to put two and two together,” he explained today. Later clues developed which definitely re- vealed that Smith was one of the murd k Since that time several year: have passed since Hart has been heard from, and Robertson points out that his capture is an evidence of the persistency of law forces.

KILPATRICK Says Young Moderns Learn The 3 R’s—And Then Some 2 “The charge that we don't teach the three R’s is simply not true,” he says. “Children get as much of, that as they would anywhere. In the new school, they don’t want to stay home; in the old, they stayed home when- ever they could. 3 “The old method, teaching by subject, such as geography or arithmetic, tended to be memo- rizing. The modern method seeks to teach by projects. It goes on the basis that we learn what we truly live, inwardly and outwardly. “Democracy demands intelli- . gent self-direction—and this is the school version of it. We cannot let our civilization just grow, Topsy - like. Unless you have the children in on ‘the game, you won't be able to get them to go very far.” FOR INSURANCE ' See H.R.
