% My dear little girl, in every
town there is a summer school or
else a teacher who coaches pupils in
their school work. The eighth grade
is the most important year of school
work and / should strongly advise
against examining the work in

90 I invariably advise all my girls
not to go out with boys while they
are mere children. Do not be in a
hurry to be young ladies. By this
haste you lose the pleasures of both
childhood and young ladyhood. A
is much more interesting to
men if she has not been going about
with boys ever since she was in
grammar school. I strongly advise
against crowds of children going to
church together. Go to church with
7our parents or some older person.

standing the more intimate comradeship that the
human voice establishes. The neighborliness OF
a whole nation is advanced by the brushing away
of the physical restraints of centuries
This contribution to the future happiness and
prosperity of closely united people has
not been brought about, however, by the over
coming of a few isolated, concrete difficulties.
It's has depended upon the exercise of
the highest engineering and technical skill and
the solution found only in the cumulative ef-
feet of improvements great and small, in tele
phone, transmitter, line, cable, switchboard, and
every other piece of apparatus plant required
in the transmission of speech
