wire me at 5Os Fifth avenue when you arrive" was Miss Croziers postscript in letter the postmaster in a small mountain village showed through the lit- tie aperture one morning last September Accordingly some days later on arriving in New York. I sent messenger to her Fifth Avenue apartment. No answer was received and about o'clock that evening l began writing a second message in the little Florentine writing room, where you could still observe and hear everything
 Miss Crozier's voice is quite unmis- takable. l remember my school days too well to ever forget that voice. Some teachers are recalled only vaguely. per- haps, and are entirely forgotten much in the same way that we forget many of the things we learned at school 1 do not imagine that any of the hundred of young women who went to school to Miss Crozier when she lived in the south will ever forget her remarkable per sonalty. And 1t Is doubtful If any length of time could entirely efface even the small and insignificant incident connect ed with the daily grind of the school room if these incidents In any way re- lated to Miss Crozier. And l am sure that many of her pupils must be able to recall even the very words of some of her Illuminating lectures given weekly in the old institute. l have some little well-beloved volumes that l cannot open without recalling the moment that Miss Crozier put them into my hands, because l first learned through her to know Ruskn and Emerson and Carlyle.

It was not long before she had plunged into some of the problems which are now being discussed in the New York papers. She was especially interested in the opening of southern immigration bureaus, but she said that the literature

Miss Crozer said that only last winter New York had one hundred thousand families in need of food, because the men could not find work. They were not of the mendicant | class, but they were on the brink of destitution. They had not applied to charitable Institutions for aid. That was the last step of the despairing. They were distinct from the transient army of unemployed crowding the lodging houses and the prisons.
 ''The only remedy for tho thousands who were anxious for work" said Miss Crozier. ''the only remedy that will keep them from actual starvation is to send them into the country where industrial workers are needed. Deport the entire family. Provide ways for the hundreds of destitute poor to help themselves. Transfer them to other localities where they would have a chance of becoming productive members of society" Each year the worlds poor are bank Ing up in New York.
 'The countries of Europe are sending to us shiploads of wretched people they do not want at home
 How are we to get these poor families out? By sending them to the thousands of abandoned farms in the south and the east and to the hundreds of thousands of farmers and other employees who are crying for help''
