ARREST OF Times

In order to meet the growing de-
mand for noiseless typewriting and to
give our students the most up-to-
late appliances and instruction we
have placed an order for five hun
dred NOISELESS TYPEWR1TERS,
which will be installed as rapidly as
they can be manufactured for u
use. The Drake Colleges were among
the first, if not the first, to introduce
Touch Writing, which was, years
ago, pooh-poohed as a Drake fad.
Today it is in universal use. Now. we
are the first school to introduce, as
an exclusive equipment a most
unique machine-THE NOISELESS
TYPEWRITER, and I venture to
predict that the noiseless feature will
be the salient achievement Of the
century in the Typewriter World.

in my case even though I do not
happen to be a cat. This was how
it all came about.
One day while in school, I was
given a cap by a boy. / wanted to
know how much noise it could make
and decided to find out. When we
were dismissed, 1 put the cap on the
stairs and stepped on it. I found out
so did Mr.. Steel.
Very much frightened I went
home, had my dinner and came back
to school. When l arrived at school,
in the afternoon, one of the boys
said, "Oh, wait till Mr.. Steel gets
YOU" I then realized what / had
done, for the cap did make a good
deal of noise. 1 knew how Mr.. Steel
handles bad boys and decided to tell
the truth. Imagine how 1 felt when
a boy said Miss Miller wanted me. 1
