 IN THEIR FUTURE SPHERES (Extract from Mr. Curtis Diary.) July 6, 1928. We are started at last on the grandest trip ever made by human being. Earle Henningsen invited the three teachers who taught in the Oakfield High School twenty years ago, to accompany him on this, his first grand tour in the “Claryal Dale.” Earle has most certainly accomplished wonders. He has not only revolutionized all the former uses of electricity, but has also invented many new electric machines. The most wonderful of these is the interstellar-electromotor by means of which he travels from planet to planet with as much ease as though it were across a quiet lake in an electric launch. Although travelling at incalculable speed, one would never dream such were the case, the motion is so uniform. July 9. We landedsiefly on the planet Mars today. After visiting Earles laboratory, we started out sight-seeing. The architecture here is wonderful, there is nothing on earth with which to compare it; even the smallest buildings here would make our “sky scrapers” seem insignificant. We entered one of the larger ones and found it to be a business college. The students were passing to the recitation rooms, so we followed one of the classes. Among the work of the day was an extremely complicated business transaction which puzzled all of the students, none of whom had been able to solve it. The teacher upon learning of their difficulty began to carefully explain it, taking it step b,v step and making each point so clear that no one could fail to understand it. The readiness with which similar transactions were solved by the pupils testified to her skill as a teacher. During the explanation it seemed that the voice sounded natural, and a better view of her face proved that it was none other than Myrtle Reynolds who had exhibited much skill in teaching during the years spent by her in the High School. Upon talking to her after the class was dismissed, we found that she intends to return to Earth for a visit, next summer, accompanied by the frank-hearted man who had found Earth too lonely after she left, and had tried travelling among the planets, finally accepting a position in one of the wireless telegraph stations on Mars. (Extract from Miss Curtis' Diary.) July 15, 1928. We reached the planet Saturn yesterday and have been busy ever since attending ball games and concerts. The people here are certainly a pleasure-loving class and have many beautiful parks and ball games. The first game we attended was a foot ball game, between two of the leading colleges. The players of both teams exhibited that skill which is attained only by patient practice directed by the best of teachers. One of the teams was remarkable for its unique handling of the ball. At the close of the game thej 22
