Washington, D. c., says that she at
tended church and saw President
Coolidge while there. She also met
the Surgeon General of the u. S.

An interesting letter from Miss
| league, former English teacher in
our high school, says that she is
teaching in private school for girls

Sometimes we hear the criticism
lat the schools change text books
% often. Sometimes I think the
large is true. On the other hand
ten to DR. Winship speaking be-
re the N. E. A. at Oakland, Cali
rnia: "Any book of physics, cleo
icity or astronomy written eight
ars ago is out Of date; any geog-
ply or history written eight years
