present. She began her work under
difficulties: nevertheless, she has been
eminently successful. Scholarship. true
teaching ability, and broad outlook,
which are characteristic of Miss Gray,
will assure her success anywhere. Her
plans for next year are not yet made,
hut she will seek-for q time-an alti-
tude less lofty than that of Gunnison.
