THE STORLLER
To the Clerk of the School Board,
 Skagway, Alaska.


 Skagway, Alaska. Dear Sir:-
 Your invitation to the stroller, requesting that he prepare and de- liver an address to your school of whales was duly received and is now under consideration, but there is a possibility that your request can not be granted for the reason that the stroller's time during the long, dark nights of fall and winter 5 usually occupied with his Heart tu Heart Talks with Mothers.
 On a late trip to and through the States, the stroller addressed q number of schools-a school of journalism in Seattle, an agricul- tural school in Missouri, where they wanted to be shown; a theological school in Ohio where they turn out ministers like a certain manufactur- ing industry at South Bend, Indi- ana, turns out Oliver Chilled Flows; a school of mines in West Virginia, and the Ladies Auxiliary of the Muleshoers Union at Little Rock, Arkansas. At various other points in the south he spoke be- fore Y. M. c. A. bodies on Pistol Totin' in Connection with Curch Work, besides delivering a number of talks to boy scouts in the same portions of the country on Winging Niggers on the Fly. So you will see that addressing schools and like organizations is not new experience to the Stroller, although he has never yet addressed a school of whales He made a few remarks once when attacked by a shark while bathing off the Florida coast, but he has never repeated them before an audience. In fact. he has ever since been somewhat ashamed of what fe said on that oc- casion.
 However, if the local association of Amalgamated Mothers feels that the stroller can be spared for night or two, he may see his way clear to accede to your request. In the event that the Stroller can not accomodate you and if your whales are still yearning to be addressed

you might prevail on some one of the Stroller's old Juneau friends. Governor Strong, Judge Jennings or Judge Vim, to appease that yearis- ing. You can probably palm off any ordinary speaker on the whales that is, until after they are ad- dressed by the itroller.-E. J. White. :,
