Stephen Il. Kramer, now assistant
superintendent of schools, was in
charge of night school, requests for
instruction in English were made by
foreign Workmen.> Glasses were estab-
ltshed in which instructors, mostly
drawn from the kindergarten depart
ment. did the best they could without
the proper text books and with little
knowledge of the scientific method of
teaching elementary English to
mature minds. In spite Of such handi-
caps the school flourished, had an en-
rollment around the 200 mark and
held classes in several sections of the
city.
Miss Maude Il. Alton. the principal
of the Americani2ation School, first
became associated with this sort of
work in 1914, when she entered the
night school as teacher of foreign
classes. From then on she has been

was in considering this use that a
chemist hit upon the idea of utilizing
them for the manufacture of illunli-

with a number OF extra bullocks and
mules for the last lap of our Journey
to the River Roosevelt.
We spent Christmas reaTranging our
transport and visiting the wonderful
waterfalls that Roosevelt wrote about
so enthusiastically. AS a result OF a
chance conversation, which revealed
Americas true occupation in life. we
dispensed with his services. He was
not a cart driver, as we thought. but
a professional gunman from GoyaZ.
and as such had received cash for
several murders. His object I'm coming
so far with us was to dispose OF his

the business with her father in a dip

to be in the shape of an old horse that
we had gwen him in part payment for
his services. The idea did not meet
with parental approval and some dis
cussion followed. In the end a salts.

the understanding that, besides the
horse, he should also pay a bonus Of

hazardous journey under such a

regarded as folly. We first took

they dashed madly over the country
