Young Pawtucket high school teacher.
Miss Rogers. She is slender, delicate
looking slip of girl The big boys OF
the high school had driven away sever

illness and disorderly behavior. They
thought to make short work of the new
teacher. Led by the captain OF the
football team, six feet tall, the fellows

art of self defense at Wellesley col

ball team showed INSTRUMENTATION, 1t
seemed that fash of lightning struck
him in the nose. Blood flowed, and the
captain of the football team went down
upon the floor. Next came the next
biggest high school bully who thought
to defy a woman teacher. In the time

rolling of eyes and f1ipfapping of body
that girls who used to go to business
half to catch husband adopted. Now
the brave American girl knows her
place in the business world and has
settled into it. Coquettish and fond of

is natural. but this part of her mani
festation she saves for her life outside
of Office.
