ener was able to follow Miss Barnes in a
| trip she made last summer across the
! Atlantic through the Mediterranean to
Naples and from there through Italy to
Genoa, Venice and Milan and across the
Alps to Lucsrne in Switzerland. About
one hundrcd unusually fine views were
thrown upon the screen, by most power
ful lantern, picturng most clearly Gibralter,
the architectural and sculptured beauties
Of Italy and the matchlcss scenery OF Swift
erland. These supplcmentlng the carefully
prepared and distinctly enunciated descrip.
tions given by Miss Barnes made Al even
ing long to be remembered by those who
could be there. Many teachers and educa-
tors were present. The superintendent OF
the Johnston schools said speaking of the
lecture, "We had a most delightful and
inexpensive trip" All who heard her
would like an opportunity to hear Of her
further journeyings in the same charming
manner.
