MT Hine sent us a flag and very kindly proposed to come on that day ito speak to the children and parents if any will attend" He was much surprised to meet a company of about ninety, which showed how much his coming was appreciated. The East Kent school joined us in the exercises, so Mir Hines compliments belong to them also. As the teacher, I was very much gratified by the readiness with which each one lent a hand to make the day a success.
 The following letter shows that MT Hine enjoys such gatherings and would no doubt be glad to take similar trips oftener-[V Virginia A. Barton. A LETTER FROM SECRETARY

Jesse Lynch Williams ..The Gates oi
 the City" will be the leading article II the August Century. the Midsummer Holiday Number. In his half-humorous f-philosophical discussion of many interesting phases of the life surgine daily through the gates of the modern city, the railroad stations, the writer revives the prophecy that. in time, all who work in New York will come to committing.
 Your true commuter must be by nature man who takes to routine, " he says. ''There are some who have commuted for a quarter century or more. and yet have not acquired the trick, and never will. They are the ones who writes letters to the news papers, airing their grievances against the heartless railroad corporations. They are not born commuters; they have had communion thrust upon them. But many really enjoy the life of the commuter. They like the clock like regularity. Undoubtedly 1t IS q more wholesome existence physically, but mentally and spirituallyit has the defects of it's virtues when pursued all the year round. The commuter devotes the best part of the day to one narrow corner of the city; the rest of his time, not consumed on the train,~ is in the still more narrowing atmosphere of the suburbs. ''
 MT Williams is the author, with John De Witt, of the History of Princeton University.
