WOODEN CROSS BARES SOUL
OF MOST INCORRIGIBLE BOY
Peter, One of Worst Problem
Children of District, Sud
denly Is Cured.,
Pupil of Gales Special School
Is Transformed by Work
on Grave Marker.
Note—This is the second of a series
of articles telling of the remarkable ex
periment in the redemption of boys who
have proved unmanageable in ordinary
schools, which is being carried on by
the District of Columbia public school
system.
BY THOMAS R. HENRY.
“E’en though it be a cross.”
Peter was one of the worst problem
children the District schools have known
in recent years.
Harold D. Fife, principal of the Oales
Special School, has a stack of letters
in his desk about the child. Some ex
press unmitigated disgust; others sym
pathy, but hopelessness. Peter had been
tried with all sorts of teachers. The
strict disciplinarians found him unman
ageable and dangerous. The gentle,
motherly kind wasted their tenderness.
The mental research department classi
fied him as a dullard.
Peter was ragged, dirty and a thief.
His adolescent mind was a sewer of
filthy thoughts. Girls weren’t safe in
the same room with him. When he
was - asked a question he would reply
with a string of oaths and nastiness
that would have shocked a mule driver.
He took no interest in anything offered
by the schools. He was an habitual
truant.
Here, it seemed, there was a congeni
tal delinquent, if such a creature ever
existed.
As a last resort Peter was transferred
to the Gales Special School. He was a
stubborn case. Week'after week Fife
tried to find some point of contact with
whatever spark of goodness there might
be in the child. His personality was
impenetrable. Even among the prob
lem cases he was outstandingly bad.
Nothing could be found which inter
ested him upon which to condition
other interests. Here at last, Fife
thought, was the exceptional case
where his theories didn’t work.
Tried to Make Friends.
Day after day the teacher talked
with the boy on his own level and tried
to make friends with him. The net re
sult apparently was only a slight les
sening of the animosity which the child
felt for all teachers and all authority.
That point of contact in the child’s
personality with decency and aspira
tion wh|ch Fife thinks exists some
where in every one could not be located
and there seemed no alternative but to
abandon him to a reform school —and
probably to a succession of prisons
after that—for the protection of society.
Suddenly, strangely, beautifully, came
the break.
Peter had been showing the world an
artificial, self-created shell of a per
sonality. Behind this he had hid his
real self—a highly spiritual, luminous,
saintly self with Christllke elements
about it.
He came to Fife’s desk after school
one afternoon.
Query About Cross.
“Yer know dem crosses dey sticks on
de stiffs out in Arlington?” he asked.
“Yes.”
“Well, what I wants to know is how
much the things costs.”
“I don’t know —about SSO, I should
think.”
Fife noticed the boy’s face fall.
“As much as that?”
“Yes. You see, they have to carve
them out of a pretty big piece of stone
and there is a lot of heavy work.”
“Don’t they ever make ’em of nothing
but stone that don’t co6t so much?”
“Yes. You might make one out of
wood.”
“Could I make one?”
“I should think you could. I’d help
you some. Why are you interested in
crosses, Peter?”
The old look of hostility came over
Peter’s face at this question. The
teacher saw that he had made a mis
take, that it was too soon to ask.
“I want to make a cross,” the boy
said.
Fife took him to a room downstairs
where there was some lumber and a
few tools. He showed him rapidly how
the tools were used.
Made Many Mistakes.,
“Go ahead and nake your cross,” he
said.
From that time on he didn’t bother
Peter with school work. Every morning
the boy went to the lumber room, shut
himself in and worked. He made many
mistakes. There was much to be done
over. But he seemed absorbed in his
work.
Never before had Peter shown any
mechanical interests. For the first time
something had been found which kept
him out of mischief. Fife visited him
every day and coached him a little.
Peter rather resented this coaching, but
he listened and profited by it. He grew
more and more friendly with the
teacher.
Finally Fife judged that the time was
ripe to try once more to go a little
deeper.
“Peter, you’ve never told me why you
are interested in crosses,” he said.
“Oh, didn’t I? Well, you see, it’s
like this ”
A marvelous transformation had come
over the dirty, foul-mouthed boy in
that moment.
His mother had died 10 years before,
leaving his father, a poor day laborer,
with a large family.
Outline of Stones.
The family was poor. The mother
had been buried in a comer of one of
the Washington cemeteries. They had
put no headstone over her grave.
Brush and weeds had grown over it.
The poor woman was cast utterly out
of the world’s memory.
But there was an outline of stones
around the space into which her coffin
had been lowered. Peter had put them
there.
Twice a year little Peter had trudged
to the cemetery and filled in the gaps
in that outline of stones. He had been
doing this, unknown to any one else, all
the time that his school teachers had
been calling him the worst boy in
Washington. He had been doing this
all the time that his tongue was so
filthy that the most hardened teachers,
men and women, couldn't endure lis
tening to him.
There he would kneel in the long
grass, replacing the scattered stones.
All around him, over the graves of
the mothers of other little boys, rose

monuments and crosses. Each of these
pilgrimages only made him worse. He
would get even—the boy would clinch
his fists and curse the Lord in Heaven —
he would get even with a world which
had treated his mother like this.
Over her nameless gr»’/' mt -a ad
promised to get ev»r*_ tie was keeping
his word.
The father was a well meaning man,
but his thoughts were with the living
and not the dead. His slender wage
barely sufficed to fosd ttie hungry
mouths dependent on him. He tried to
clothe them decently and made a ter
rible job of it, to judge by Peter.
Not Hungry or Cold.
Every time the boy had suggested
that a headstone be placed over his
mother the father had dismissed the
idea rather curtly. She was dead,
wasn’t she? She wasn’t hungry or cold
any more. She was comfortable enough
there is the ground. Why bother with
her when the kids needed clothes?
He was not an unkindly man, but he
had no motherlipess about him. He
was too tired to mother the kids when
he came back from his day’s work.
The human touch had "one out of
Peter’s life the day his mother’s body
in a bare wooden box had beCn carried
out of the door of the shack where
they lived.
The spiritual, Christ-like Peter had
gone out of the skinny, unwashed little
body and crept into the coffin. There
all these years he had snuggled in her
arms. The poor dead woman had
crooned to her baby there in the grave
yard.
The Peter of the District schools, the
Peter who swore at teachers, stole every
thing he could lay his hands on and
assaulted girls, was not Peter at all.
Peter was in his mother’s arms in her
nameless grave. •
Fife gave the boy money to finish the
cross, to buy paint and other trim
mings. It was a work of art when it
was done. There was a soul in it.
One day the teacher and the boy
went out together and cleared away the
weeds from the grave. But for the
setting up of the cross Peter went alone
one Sunday.
Cross of Gold.
"It looks better than any of the
others in the cemetery,” he said when
he came to school the next morning.
“Do you think she knows about it?
Do you think she will like it because
it’s wood and not stone?”
"That cross is made of gold, Peter,”
the teacher said. "She will known it
is made of gold.”
So the soul of Peter was raised from
his mother’s grave on the cross his
hands had carved.
He has never given any trouble since.
“I have known many boys,” says Mr.
Fife, “but I never knew another so
spiritually-minded as Peter is today.
He is all spirit. And he is the one boy
sent here for whom nobody had any
hope.”
Fife hesitates to psycho-analyze this
strange case of dual personality in a
child.
One school would explain it perhaps
in terms of mother fixation twisted in
some curious way.
Another w'ould find an inferiority
complex—the motherless child, whom
the world so despised that it would not
even accord his mother the poor honor
of a cross over her grave, developing a
superiority complex in compensation
which drove him to make the world pay
attention to him by the very extent of
his depravity, the way which offered
the line of least resistance at the time.
But the mystic would find here the
symbols of holy and unseen things—of
Christ descending into hell at the be
hest of the Holy Mother.
Perhaps all are right. Who knows?

I CANAL FULTON. Ohio, January 7.
! John Oser, 30-year-old Canal Fulton

wife, Mrs. Bertha Oser, was beaten to
death late Saturday night at their farm

The double slaying was discovered

six-year-old son, George, awakened to
find the house empty.
The boy found the body of his father

the temple. He notified neighbors, and

the body of Mrs. Oser, clad only in a
nightgown, on a rock pile behind the
garage. Her head had been battered
with stones.
A young man whom Oser employed
last Tuesday to work about the farm
is missing. So Is the new automobile
which the family purchased recently.

, could be established.

JEWELER’S SAFE
Rob Joshua C. Jubb’s Estab
lishment of Gems Valued
at $7,000.
Yeggmen paid a successful visit to
the jewelry establishment of Joshua C.
Jubb, second floor of 817 G street, Sat
urday night or early yesterday morning.
Ripping open the cabinet safe in the
store, the yeggs made away with the
contents of the safe without using an
explosive.
Arthur J. Dettmers, who conducts an
engraving establishment in the G street
building, discovered evidences of the
theft when he visited his plant about
noon yesterday. Jubb was notified and
Lieut. Edward J. Kelly and Detective
Thomas Sweeney of the homicide
squads started an investigation.
Examination of the safe disclosed the
theft of practically every article of
jewelry left in it at closing time Satur
day, the loot including watches, unset
diamonds, rings and other articles, val
ued at $7,000.
Investigation disclosed that a room
in the building was rented a short time
ago by a stranger, who, it is believed by
police, is implicated in the robbery.
A suit case and implements used by
safe blowers, found abandoned in the
store, made it evident that the robbers
went there prepared to meet any emer
gency. Numerous steel tools were left
by the burglars, as were a stick of
dynamite, bars of soap, gloves and other j
articles.

j newspaper executives in America.”

naming them Dr. Edwards’ Olive
Tablets. Known by their olive
color. They free the system of
