Victoria Mary F,reethY.
By IDA CLARE

 ant somewhere in the neighborhood | when Victoria Mary Freethy was | about to be christened, for who else could be farsghted enough to think l up such an appropriate name for the baby?
 Miss Freethy's home is in Brook line, Mass. She received her educa- ton in Simons school, in the Chicago University and in Mount Holyoke. About May, 1918, an urgent call | was sent out all over the country for l Y. M. c. A. workers. Victoria Free 1 thy heard the call and needed it. l That is why I think Victoria is the | only name that is appropriate for her for she left her work in this country to go overseas to a far coun- 1 try to help the boys obtain victory, 1 the thing for which they were fight | ing. It was in August, 1918, that l Miss F'reethy arrived in France. Her | first station was as business clerk | in Paris. In the course of four or l five months call was sent for can 1 teen girls for the rest area at Men | ton. Again Victoria Freethy went | on for victory. From Menton she l went to Nice and worked there un- | til the center closed.
 Miss F'reethy was never satisfied | with just doing business work, so she | was sent to England where she was 1 engaged in caring for the American | boys who had been wounded severe ly. Miss FTeethy witnessed some l horrible scenes while stationed at the hospital but she worked bravely for was she not Victory's own girl ? After over a year of service she re- turned to this country and again took up her teaching.
 | When I asked for an interview from Miss Freethy she laughed and I said that she didn't care for those things, and that she was afraid of reporters anyhow. I scarcely car believe that for a girl that has been through as much service as she has would be afraid of a little thing like 7 8 reporter.
 What do you think of a Commer, cial education for a girl?' I asked ''It is excellent" eve are living in , practical world and the Commercial. s course equips a girl to earn her liv- , ing in a practical way. , What do you think of our school from what you have seen of it?' . was the next question. 'Well on my , first observation I would say that i is exceedingly well organized. With out a doubt, am sure I will like your school"
 l MISS arrived III our SCnOO a week ago and will take Mrs. Ma thias' place on the faculty and ha: f taken 302 as her session room. If vol should care to look for her you vii know her by her b1ueish gray Y. NJ c. A. uniform skirt
 She has also taught in Massa l chusetts and Illinois schools.
