and instead of discussing the merits and demerits of their friends and enemies, Will argue about suffrage. Thanking you for the privilege of Writing for your Annual, I am V Very sincerely yours, ELIZABETH C. KELTON '07 Dear Daughters of Our Common Alma, Mater: Out of the fulness of the heart, so the saying goes, the mouth speaketh, and so for the benefit of the in collegio part of the College for Women sisterhood, and particularly for those members who contemplate teaching as a means of securing a meagre livelihood, it is quite natural that I Write of the genuinely joyful phase of pedagogical life in a small town. When I found myself the homesick incumbent of a high-school posi- tion in a modest-sized community, life presented many strange pictures to my bedimmed eyes. But none of the new experiences Was more re- markable or more pleasing than the ease with which I slipped into the life of the place, and Was' made, by its kindly occupants, to feel at one With them. VVould you believe that the very house-furnishings are so- ciable? Nor is the good cheer confined Within the dwellings, it gladdens the streets and turns the school-room from a scene of daily grind to a meeting-place of kindred spirits. This alone is enough to make life Worth While, but added to it the fact that the great out-of-doors is fairest of the fair, the situation really approaches the ideal. Had I the faintest imitation of the pen of the immortal Ruskin I might try to paint for you the wondrously gorgeous splendor of the au- tumn, When every tree is a miracle and the sunset glory of the sky stills unbelief and crowds out of mind the accumulated littlenesses of the day, or the grandeur of the Winter When, in a single night, creation is trans- formed into a fairyland of gleaming purity and the shadows are blue on the snow 5 or the ineffable sweetness of the spring When it comes stealing softly, oh, so softly, with the most delicate, tenderest Whisperings of gladness in storeg the sound of the Waters rushing over the rocks, and the cheer of the first clear calls of birds, the freshness of the earth and, Wonder of Wonders, the wayside fields empurpled With violets, and then the soul-stirring loveliness of the blossoming orchards. After all it must be lived to be felt! You didn't Want to hear about the disagreeable element in guiding the young to paths of intellectual blessedness, did you? I thought not. The best thing that I can Wish for you is that, when you make your venture, you may meet with as much true happiness along the Way, as the present scribe. I'm all loyalty to my native city and I make this obeisance to the home of my adoption. Yours for the dear Alma Mater, VERA SMISEK '08 page thirty-two
