The Girls Normal school of the City
of Mexico reports the year of 1907-0S
to have been the most successful in
its history thus far. Among its eco.
nomic gains it enumerates laundry
work. Formerly the monthly eXpend.
iture for this item has been something
less than SIS, even though the pupils
have always done the ironing. Re
Gently the school authorities hit upon
the plan of putting in stone washing
places constructed after the Mexican
fashion This innovation not only made
the girls, happy but reduced the laun-
dry bin to SIS month The school
physician reports the health of the
pupils as being much better than ever
before and attributes it TO the exercise

Kansas City, Mo.-A quaint little

Douglas Gardner of this city once be-
longed to Noah Webster of dictionary
fame. Ink spots, fondly preserved on
the desk, are said to have been made
by Webster. A tradition in the Gard
ner family says that Webster used the
little desk part of the time when he
was editing his dictionary.
Douglas Gardner is a student at the
University of Missouri in the sophie

edition of Webster's dictionary. and II
was through his connection with the
publication that the desk came into
the possession of the family. Dorsey
Gardeners name is given in the 1891

of the associate editors. He was a
magazine writer of some note and the
author of several books.
