OF her time to writing rhymes for the
suffrage cause. One of these rhymes
was recently used by the women Of the
Norfolk Equal Franchise Federation as
printed valentine greeting.
For time her mother feared that
she would be backward in learninp
mathematics, but she soon discovered
| that the fault lay in the way in which
she was attempting to teach the child.
She gave her into the hands of more
! competent mathematician, Professor
| Hornbrook of Chicago, and the chill

realms of the good Giant Arthmos, as
she calls arithmetic. Mrs. Stoner has
| also received help from several other
noted professors in instructing the
child in various branches. Professor
Edgar Lucien Larkin of Mount Lowe
Observatory has given little Winifred
instruction in astronomical geography

HWithin the Mind Maze,' which he

piano, write rhymes and plays, and,
above all, read good books.

Here are the verses written by Wini.
fred some time after she had taken up
the study of mathematics seriously:
In MATEMATIKO, the wonderful land,
Ruled over by Giants, a most worthy
band;
Where all live together In kindness and
peace
While helping Earths mortals whose

And also / think that strong helping

Is rendered Marss children by this
goodly band.
But If from these GIANTS their help we
could seek
We should be very patient and humble
and meek,
And go to their lands over roads smoothcd

When counting their candles or apples
or buns,
Or when Baby's mother cut apples IN two
And gives him "one-haf'' and one half
