 GIT CHE GUM EE I From Mr. Epley In answer to yours of March 24th, let me say that I have taught in the Bellingham State Normal for the last eleven years, in its science department. At first I had all the science, but as the school grew I have spent my energies more and more on the physical sciences. My work is now in chemistry, geology, physical geography, geography, agriculture, and astronomy, not all at one time, however. I am married and have three bouncing children. I like the West. Bellingham. ITash.. April 7. 1909. fs (5 a Mr. McNeill is the superintendent of schools at Memphis, Tenn. He sent the Gitcmh Gumeb several articles about the city and the school system. “Memphis is a city of 180,000 inhabitants,” he says, “located in the heart of the cotton and lumber industries. Mr. McNeill wishes success to the GlTClIE Gu.MEE, and asks to be remembered to the students whom he used to know. In the middle of the year, we were delighted to see Miss Hinkel again. She is now teaching in the Duluth Central High School, and can visit us occasionally. While Duluth does not get ahead of us in many respects, yet they have succeeded in securing two of our strongest and most popular teachers. Miss Pettingill, of the Duluth Normal, and Miss Hinkel. Miss Doyle’s stenographer writes from the St. Dennis Hotel, New York, that, on account of Miss Doyle’s absence from the city, she was unable to write a letter for the Gitchk Gumeb, but “wished to express her interest and best wishes for the success of your magazine.” Miss Schlcgcl writes from Columbia that she was unable to write a letter for publication, but wishes us every success, and wants a copy of the Gitche Gumee saved for her. Mr. George B. Bergen, who taught reading and literature for a number of years, is now at Highland Park, 111. Mrs. Ben Finch, formerly Miss Kvans, who taught gymnastics, is living in the city, and has two children. Mr. N. A. Harvey and Mrs. Bennett Kief, formerly Miss Lucy Norton, arc now at Ypsilanti, Mich. Mr. Will Martin is now at Kirksville. Missouri. Miss Mary S. Morse is in San Diego. California. Miss May Carpenter is at Madison. Wis. PACE TWENTY-SIX
