Fourth Grader Uncovers Misplaced
Equator Boundary And Embarrasses
Boston Firm Of Geogaphy Makers
Editor's note Last week The
Mountaineer published an editor
ial on the confusion created by dif
ferent historians giving informa
tion about the history of North
Carolina, as some fifth grade books
had one version and the eighth
grade books made a contradictory
statement. The United Press last
week carried the following story
from Willimantic, Conn., which we
felt would be interesting to our
readers.
WILLIMANTIC. Conn. Now
you take geography, for instance,
a mighty interesting subject if you
get right down to it. ,
i In spite of her 22 y ears; in spite
of her teacher's certificate, Miss
Iary Fryer is getting right down to
it. this week. Reading her Fourth
Oracle geography book like a de
tective. After what happened last
week, she figures she'd better. As
Mary recalls it, last Friday was not
much of a day for destiny to bow
in the direction of Willimantic.
Pert, pretty Mary was trying to
keep the Fourth Grade's collective
mind on the warm, drowsy subject
of the tropics.
Everyone had their book open
to page 324, showing a map of the
world. Johnny and Tom and Pa
tricia and Alice, and evervhnrlv
else tried hard to pay attention,
but It happened to be a sunnv rfav
the next day was Saturday, and
Mary Fryer was pretty sure her
words were going in one set of ears
and out another.
The tropics weren't going down
very well, and, as the Equator,
that skinny line that circles around
the world's fat stomach, well, Mary
figured she wasn't getting it across
at all. You know. About the
Equator line not really being there
and about it never changing, al
ways staying right in the middle
of the globe.
Mary Fryer brought in a globe
and had the children file past and
look at the equator. "See," she
said, "it's always in the same place"
Then Mary got on with the les
son, telling about the miles of sea,
the hot, green jungle lands that
lie under the Equator, the blazing
sun that pours down and makes
people sleepy, lazy, easy-going
folks. The straight blond and curly
brown heads out in front of her
began to npt. Everyone jumped
a bit when the bell rang even
Mary Fryer.
Books were jammed into desks.

corner in nothing flat. The ferns
wattered for over the week-end,
and Mary Fryer was herself in
three minutes convinced that she'd
have to go over that business about
the equator the very first thing
Monday.
When nine-year-old Barbara
Balkan rushed into class Monday
morning, Mary was convinced
"Teacher," Barbara shouted, "The
Equator moves. It ain't always in
the same place."
Isn't," Mary said, getting a little
mixed up herself. "And it is, too.
Look at this globe." Barbara look
ed. "Now look at your book." Bar
bara looked. "That's what I mean,"
she .said.
Mary looked. Sure enough, the
book had the Equator farther up on
the world's stomach than the globe.
Gave it a sort of hioh waictoi
effect.
Mary Fryer, teacher at
and stared at Barbara Balkam, pu
pil. As the other students came in,
Mary checked everyone's geogra
phy. Yep, the Equator was in the
wrcng place.
Finally, Mary Fryer did the only
thing she could do. Wrote to the
book makers. "Gentlemen," she
said, "I'd like to have a man-toman
talk with you about your Equ
ator." The letter went on to say
that the book, "Exploring New
Fields," had explored inst a little
too far, she thought.
Well, Willimantic's Fourth Grade
had quite a little celebration Tues
day. Mary called the class to at
tention and read a letter from some
very cmbarassed geography makers
in Boston. It said:
"We're sure vou'll he HnrM,i
to know that Barbara is, so far as
we know, the only person among
hundreds of thousands to discover
our Equator isn't where it should
be." Then it went on to say:
"We had 18 honored explorers
. . . and Scores of tearhina avrtn-to
check the book before WO nilhlich-
ed it. It's been used by hundreds
of teachers since, and no one evei
mentioned that little mistake."
The letter ended, "Wc certainly
want to thank Barbara for catching
this mistake and would you please
--". -e, ,1 sncs noticed anything
else wrong.
Mary Fryer says she told Bar
bara to browse around. But in
the meantime. Marvv i,.i,i
