PREFACE Just as the American people prize nothing so much as the principles of their democracy, so the students of Ward- Belmont value above all else the characteristics of true Americanism which they receive from every activity of their school. The purpose of Ward-Belmont has always been, and shall continue to be, the fostering of respect for the liberties and privileges of citizenship, both in the school and in the nation. Let the Milestones, therefore, embody and reflect such respect for a great purpose of a great institution, and let the democratic spirit ring throughout these pages as it shall ring throughout the pages of the history of the American people.

I ' f. I II I! II I II T I II Each chapter of the long ' , rambling, and vivid chronicle of American history has within itself the tales of women of courage and foresight who have shaped, through their patriotic idealism, the destiny of a nation. To such a woman is this book presented, not for partici- pation in national affairs, but for the fact that she has lived her full life simply, yet with unswerving- devotion to her school and her girls. To Mrs. John Diell Blanton, then, the Milestones is dedicated, and with it is dedicated both love and admiration for a great American.
