R. Sutton home. The an informal room at the Ambassador Kept in Dark Room by Mute ,v -Mother; Educate^ Do Great Job*, COLUMBUS, OHIO. -- "Looklook! Watch me skate!" commanded a chubby figure in a green cotton frock and a wee, man tailored jacket that its owner pridefully calls "my little tweed coat"--just before she swished down the entrance drive to Children's hospital. And her Visitors did watch the spring sprite on skates--marveling at the miracle that time, patience, persistence and understanding guidance have wrought. For the gay little girl was Annabelle Barton, eight years old, of Mount Vernon, Ohio, patient in Children's hospital at Columbus, Ohio, who 17 months before had never uttered more than five syllables--had never ventured from the dark room wherein she and her mute mother made their home--had never taken more than a few steps on her piteously barrelbowed legs. 4 Trudging up the slope she came on her rollers, the successful results of two corrective operations quite apparent in her sturdy legs. Trusting and Social. "Stay and watch me skate," she& Begged, tossing her fair hair out of her blue-gray eyes that clouded with concern when she noticed that we were sitting on the cold cement, waiting for her to reach the end of her climb. "You'll' catch cold," she warned. "You'd better get up." Annabelle, the hospital's most obedient boarder, is the pet of the staff. And, as a return compliment for the attention that she attracts, Annabelle has decided to become a nurse. "When I grow up," she repeated with emphasis, "that's what I'll be --a nurse." Annabelle delights in singing or whistling nursery " rhymes* and hymns, encircling the playroom rug innumerable times to the strains of martial music and practicing the piano. In the beginning, of course, it was a constant drumming of words and their relations to objects into her untuned ears by Miss Marie K. Mason and Dr. G. Oscar Russell, both of Ohio State university's speech department, in an effort to ascertain whether she could heaf, whether she could talk. Then when inquisitive Annabelle reached the "what is it and why" stage her learning became as thrilling to hospital staff members as baby's first sentences are to his parents. Educators Take Hold. What stimulated the metamorphosis of Annabelle? you may ask. The answer lies with a group of intelligent, sympathetic educators from Ohio State university, including Miss Mason, Dr. Russell, Dr. Francis N. Maxfield of the psychology department and several student teachers, as well as the hospital attaches. "Almost everybody around here has taught Annabelle something," surmised Miss Janson. At the present Annabelle is wrinkling her brow over the three rudiments of elementary education --"readin', 'ritin', arid 'rithmetic." She is busy, too, acquiring the little niceties and courtesies of conventional living that (she hitherto had ignored. Annabelle has made remarkable progress in this rehabilitation program. Her mental age lingers but one-hall year under normal level and her associates consider that but little short of phenomenal. STEVE J. KAROWSKY DIES IN FOX RIVER, ! STRUCK BY PROPELLEEj Another drowning was recorded in McHenry county last week when Steve J. Karowsky, 53, of 5936 N. Paulina street, Chicago, who owned a^ummer home on the Fox river for the past sixteen years, met with tragic death at about 3:30 p. m. on Thursday, August 15.
