Use well, you know she is our latest
COLONY bride and one Of the stenogs.
IHer name is Louise Ewell at present,
and she has been an office fixture, on
part and whole time, for several years.
Now, Ruth Sutherland also helps up to
half a day, and if you don't get your
literature on tipe, just blame Ruth.
The fact that we have no post office
should cut no ice; blame Ruth. Now,
the Gar" also has a place in this
building, but it is too sacred to men
toni He never lets anyone in, and
when once in, he never lets them out.
That doesn't sound right, but I'll say
no more about him. My sanctum
sanctorum is any place from the gen.
eral office to my bedroom, and that
is too private to talk about. so just
forget where am and what do, and
come to visit us and get better ac-
quainted on your own hook. You will

address. Tonight the band practice

class at the club house made two full

Saturday, Nov. 4. - The editor ac-
cused me of being hilarious yesterday
when | wrote the diary. Now, | don't
know what he meant; but it isn't so,
for just tried to avoid trouble by not
telling all the truth about the office
gang. AS the general work is being
done about as usual, want to tell you
that lately many useful books and ma
terlals have ben sent in to the kinder
garten, and to other parts Of the Col
ony, by friends. My being rushed to
get ready for another trip to the rice
ranch tomorrow prevents me from get
ting their names and list of all ar
ticles. Our school is the big thing
here, and every member here is a stu
dent; and we never will be over-sup-
piled with school apparatus. We need
all kinds of apparatus for teaching
chemistry and physics, and our gym
naslum is about ready to be supplied. |
We shall try to equip it from home
production, but need plans and spec
ifications or samples of the different
appliances. Our school is now admit
ting boys and girls from the outside.
My particular hobby is children, and
| am sure getting mine in large guam
titles. Their parents or friends send
them here to go to school and learn
useful occupations. They pay $40 a !
month for board and room. Several
other youngsters will soon join the
force. When we get sufficiently adj
vanced we expect to build and main
tain an orphans home, and school
them as our own Riddles. Real coop
orators can in this way be trained from
the start. But, as one persons asks,
will they be fit to cope with the out
side when they go out9" Who said
they would go out9 | know can't
think of such a thing. No child who,
is brought up in such system as ours
will ever desire to go out into sys-
tenn where deception and trickery are
the principal things necessary to sue
cess; where selfishness makes men to
rob their brothers; where social and
justice is to be seen en- ev-
cry hand. We not only have our re-
gular school. but all of our industries
are educational places = and night
classes are held by any one Who wish
es to teach and conduct them. Edu-
