natural enemy. I speak in general terms.
you understand. We md that IL will
be more compatible with our own con-
scienlces If we devote our time to doing
what we can 70 bring about this i,iees-
sary and wholesome readjustment. and
that Is what we intend doing-that's

Mrs Bennett would not admit that
either she or her husband would join
The active faculty at Brookwood School.
The chances are that both will take
hand at teaching, however. Thus far
the school, although rounded in 1919.
has not passed the experimental stage.
There are no fixed tuition fees; parents
or friends OF the children contributing
whatever they may to the maintenance.
The self-determination theory of gov
ernment prevails and there are no SER
wants. Everybody-students and fac
ulty--contributes work.
The Rev. William F-inclSe. formerly
pastor of a Presbyterian church in Man
haitian. is head of the faculty and OF
the organization in so far as such
loosely tied organization may be ac-
cused of having a head. Mrs. Fincke is
one of her husbands assistants and she
comes OF a wealthy family. Her sister
is Mrs. Seth Pliss Hunt. wife OF the
treasurer of the Standard Oil Company
of New Jersey.
Charles Garland, the young man who
recently achieved fame by refusing
legacy OF 100000 or thereabout, is
one of the supporters of the school. His
two sisters are students there. There
is n pretty well defined impression that
Mr. and Mrs. Bennett are only two of

society--that Is, of any set of people
who devote most of their time to enter

friends. That is wicked waste of
time. ] want to work hard and I hope
to help somebody. have always worked
hard at those things I believed neces-
sary.
Probably Mr.. Bennett will find it a
trifie harder than l. He was always
more settled than I. But he Is quite as
jealous as / am in this move we are
making You can see that there's moth
ing truly remarkable in what we are
doing. AS for my own political and eco
nomic convctions-well.I / hope you will
not be injured too much If insist that
