Mothers Object

Dear Mrs. Adams.
We are three bashful country girls. Our
mothers having Old-fashioned ideas. never
allow us 20 go out with men friends. Would
il be all right TO meet them on the ally
How do people with exceptionally large
noses kiss without coming IN cOntactI
we are the village beauties. and do you
think IL would detract from our personal
appearance to go out with g red-hairsd,
pug-nosed and freckled-faced man?
THE THREE GRACES.
To meet the young men on the sly"
would be the first step down the wrong
path. I feel sure your mothers have
good reasons for their objection. Don't
go against their wishes.
Owing to the large amount OF CORE
spcndence to be answered, these coll
unlns are too valuable 10 answer foolish
questions.

SUPERINTENDENT HUGH S. BIRD

Among the prominent educators at
tending the conference is Prof. Hugh
S. Bird, superintendent Of the Freder-
icksburg schools. For twenty years
Professor Bird filled the chair of peda-
gogy at William and Mary, and during
that period he impaired instruction and
advice to twenty-three of the 2O2 super
intendents now included in the Virginia
conference. Five years ago he gave
up educational work to enter business,
but he returned to this work some
months ago and is determined to make
it his life's calling.
Prof. Bird became professor Of Will
liam and Mary at the age of nineteen,
and though now past forty he looks
more like beardless youth bordering
on manhood than the experienced edu-
Gator that he is. Among his pupils at
William and Mary was Superintendent
Chandler of the Richmond schools.
Professor Bird is deeply interested in
socialistic problems and believes that
they involve educational questions as
well as other lines of work. k.-Richmond
