Mr. Latz,s work as a poet has become so extenswe that he finds he must have a partner to help him. He has already wr1tten several poems, the best known of which is his llLay of the Night-Insp1red Poet? which reads thus: llI was standing on the road in the breezes . When an owl gave a hoot in the treezesf, At this point Mr. Peddicord interrupted, saying that there were several of our classmates who were doing good work in the educa- tional world. Nellie Meighan, he said, was the chairman of the Board of Education. Many notable reforms had been made during her ad- ministration, one of them being the abolishment of all examinations in the public schools. Another prominent leader was Ruth Lewis. She had become known as the author of the excellent school law, which states that llno pupil shall be out of school oftener than an average of twice a week? i . Here Mr. Grout again interrupted the conversation with his hearty ha hats. llYou dont know what Applels doing, do you? Mr. Apple holds the chair of History in the University of Oregon. To hear him grind out history, one would think itls the only good thing in lifefl Merle Young was mentioned as an assistant teacher of English Literature in the same college. Miss Young was especially loved be- cause of the kindness and consideration which she showed her pupils. ' The live gentlemen now retired to the club parlors. Here they were greatly surprised to find Jack Alexander and Mr. Gamble absorbed in a deep discussion. Mr. Alexander was president of the United States National Bank, while Mr. Gamble was the head of the Title Guarantee Trust Company. The two gentlemen had been considering the con- solidation of the two banks. Mr. Gamble had just returned from the East, where he had been looking over the linancial situation. While in Topeka, he one evening picked up the paper and beheld on the cover page the picture of Mabel Francis. Underneath it was written, llSoe ciety Girl Introduces Strange ResOlutionf, He found that this resolu- I tion was that llwo-men should not decorate themselveswith all kinds of gaudy ornaments and trinkets as the barbarians do, but should rely on the ornaments Nature gave them, namely, rosy cheeks and flowery smiles? Mr. Gamble had also met Jessie Young, head of the W-omen,s Col- lege of Baltimore. Under Miss Youngjs excellent supervision, it has grown to be one of the best colleges in the world for wOmen. With Miss Young was Hulda Parr, the head of the Department of Modern Languages in the University of Chicago. Both young ladies also were prominent members of'the Omnibuslingua Society, a new organization ' for spreading abroad the new universal language. In New York Mr. Gamble, on Visiting Central Park, one afternoon, came upon Addie Bowie and Elizabeth McCarthy, both seated upon a rustic bench.
