THIRD LETTER
Apartado 100. Baranquilla,

Colombia; South America,
March q, 1919.
We reached BaranQuilla, one Of the
coast cities Of Colombia, the evening
of March 3. We left Baraboo on Jan
uary 27, thus spending five weeks on
a journey that, in normal times, does
not require more than twelve or fOus-
teen days.
We have remained here on the
coast, as we were asked to do, and
have taken charge Of the Coleg:o
Americana for young men, so that
Rev and Mrs. Lee, who have been IN
charge here for twenty years, could
take their overdue vacation. We have
one hundred forty young men and
boys in attendance, with forty Of them
boarders in the home with us. OF
these, thirty are young men and ten
are boys between twelve and sixteen
years. To oversee the buying OF all
supplies, plan the meals, keep account
of the laundry, the selling OF books,
pencils, paper, ETC., is something OF
task. One of my duties is to watch
the bath-list and see that no one es-
capes his daily shower
Discipline is not the least of our dl-
ties-indeed in these first days, when
we are learning the boys and they are
trying US out, it is. the greatest thing
that confronts us. In addition, both
Rev. Williams and / teach in the class
rooms or the assembly room, from
7:30 until 4, FIVE days of the week.
The Lees left four capable we'll
trained servants who fortunately need
very little supervision in their work.
But, of course, all supplies are kept
under lock and key, and everything
must be weighed out, twice each day.
We use from thirty-two to thfrty-fve

is entitled 10 slI the prer"gativPs Of
a member until he is actually unseated
by the House. One Of the first ques-
tions the House will have to consider
