"Located In tlie southern part of Buckinghamshire, the litthf village Is only twenty miles from London." ac- <>ordms to a bulletin from the National Oeojiraphic society. "It has, hwwever, remained almost unchanged throng the two centuries which have passed since C.ray came down from Cambridge for tlie jlong. summer vacations. \ "The near-by town of Slough, howev&, has become a thriving nftanufketunng center, spreading blocks of red brick housing units across the, 'leas,' and under the 'rugged elqts' of the poet'fi beloved country side. Fortunately a larjze field to the east of the church has already been purchased by the Penn-Gray society, and It is hoped that funds may be found to complete a protecting circle of gr^en."J-}-•/.y. Tree Shaded Poet.- . "The church itself is a low, Ivy-cwered structure with square,' Norman tower. Opposite Us porch stands a tnassive, gnarled yew, "teaid to have shaded the poet while he wrote. Near the tree Is the simple brick "tomb where, in 1771, Gray was buried beside his mother. "Of particular Interest to the American tourist In Stoke I'oges Is the old Elizabethan manor house, which was owned by Thomas Penn, son of. the founder of Pennsylvania. In one of the rooms may he seen a part of the trunk of the elm tree under which William Penn sicned the treaty with the Indians. His grave lies a few miles distant In the Quaker burial ground by Jordan's meeting house. "Even before the, rise of the Quakers In the Seventeenth century, South Buckinghamshire had long been a storm center of religion. The Lollards were persecuted there during the Fourteenth and Fifteenth centuries, and likewise the Protestant martyrs of the Sixteenth centiyy. 1 1 "Two miles tfeyond Jordan's is Chalfont St. Giles,^^re Milton stayed during the great London plague. His small stone cottage is carefully pre-' served, while his love for that part of England lives forever In 'L'Allegro' and 'II Penseroso.' • "Buckinghamshire, one of England's smallest counties, lies inland just west and north 6t London. The winding Thames forms its southern boundary, and the equally winding Ouse circles It in the north. Across the county from southwest to northeast stretch the low, wooded slopes of the Chiltern hills. "Because It Is cut o|t> from all sea trade, and because it has no mineral resources of value, the county has always remained primarily agricultural, despite its geographical nearness to London. More than half Its entire area is In permanent grass, and cattleraising forms the chief Industry. The Vale of Aylesbury in particular is famous for its dairy farms. Wheat and fruit are also important crops. Lafe and Furniture Making. "Certain local industries, principally lace making and the manufacture of furniture, are still carried on. High Wycombe, largest town in the county, Is well known for its fine chairs, it. Is also famous as the home of that great British statesman, Benjamin Disraeli, who is buried in the churchyard at Hughenden Manor. "In Buckinghamshire, too, is Eton college, largest of England's 'public pchools,' those famous and ancient Institutions, corresponding to American private preparatory schools for boys. Eton, which was founded by Henry VI in 1440, lies in the southern part of the county, Just across the Thames from Windsor castle. "In his 'Ode to the Distant Prospect of Eton college,' Gray, a loyal Etonian, describes Te distant Spires, ye antique Towers,' rising beyoB^ the shining curve of the Thames. Frotn Windsor Bridge Eton's High street leads through a straggling village to the mellow brick buildings and shaded walks of the school. Beyond, on a branch of the Thames, is the Eton Playing field, where endless practice takes place before the great annual event _at Ix>rds--the Eton-Harrow cricket match." Milk, Fruits and Vegetables Essential j to School Child's Diet," Says Expert By FRANCES BERKELEY FLOORS Director oj Dietetics, Su Luke's Hospital DK EPA RING the child for school should consist of something more than simply getting his clothes In order and telling him to mind teacher. The J-oung child, especially the first grader who is going to be away from parental care for perhaps the first time, should have certain rules of safety impressed on himi Of course he should not be allowed to cross city streets alone--not at first at any rate. If there Is not a policeman on duty at street crossings an older child should go with him. In any case the child should be warned against running after balls, hats and so forth which ;have blown Into the street. With present conditions, tt is doubly necessary to Warn children against going with strangers. The child should be able to say* his name and address, hitf parents' names and the name of his school, so that in case he should ever stray from school he will be able to give this information. Now, when for the first time the beginning school child Is going to be "efxposed." to a great many other children, he should have all the protection a^nst contagious disease that is available. Vaccination will guard the child against smallpox. If he has not already been immunized against diphtheria this should certainly be taken care of before sending him off to school. Of course the preventive measures for diphtheria should have begun when the child was six moaths' old as this disease occurs most often ,n chJIdpen un<l°r school age. The treatment consists of two little doses of toxoid #5rfife~f4iiicKnnder ten years or three doses of toAIn-antltoxin to the child over ten. TMis is sure protection. I Other precautions *hat the parent should take before entering the child in school, whether it be for the first or the eighth time, are to make sur6 a*5!® flw" •• • > ' « 4" * FRANCES BERKELEY FLOORE that he does not have defective eyesight, or hearing* enlarged and diseased tonsils and adenoids, or decayed teethe--defects which not only affect the physical health, bi« by retarding him in school may lead to unfortunate behavior traits, cavbed by not being able to keep up with the other children. , vJ In cases where the eyesight or hearing; cannot be immediately Improved, he can be so seated in the room that the trouble Will not hold him baclc in his work. In addition to these guards against specific illnesses, every care should be taken to maintain the child's general health. Don't relax your supervision over his food just because he is going to school and perhaps eating his lunch away from you. Remember that -it is just as necessary now that he have his glass of milk at every meal and fresh fruits and vegetables every day.
