The next morning came the Choir
al contest. Mary Baldwin college
won it and we didn't even get sec
ond. After it was over we walked
about loking at the historic old
University, it's beautiful, beauti-
full grounds and quaint buildings;
saw the room which Poe occupied
as a student, and the room Wood
o Wilson lived in while there;
then we had lunch at the Univer-
sity Commons. Some OF our par
ty were at one table and some at
another; and there were scores
and scores of the university men
eating there. When our group
started to leave, DR.. Hudson, Zone
of our chorus members) came,
trotting after us and told me there
vas a boy from Montana eating
at her table, and | must come and
meet him. SO back we trailed
down the length Of that big hall,
and when the young man rose to
be introduced, every man in that
place began to stamp his feet
most terrifically; they were all
looking at us and grinning. The
Montana boy flushed a little and
laughed. Were getting stamp
ed" he explained alphabetically.
So l didn't keep him standing
long, but hurried on away. Now
what do you think of that? You
know nc women are allowed at the
U. of Va. and there is a strong
feeling against them on the cam
pus. But you'd think they would
at least be polite, wouldn't you ?
The other girls said they did the

That afternoon we had our bus
driver take US to Monticello. l
had been there once before, but on
~disagreeable rainy day, so had
lot fully enjoyed it. How lovely
t was this timei l can't tell you
Ill about it now; but Jefferson
vas certainly the queerest man
hat ever lived; and I'm sure he
las more ingenious inventions and
fright ideas to his credit than any
Their man that ever lived. 1t was
ovely up there on the bree ze-
iwept mountain; the trees had
eafed out so much, it was almost
Ike summer; and the view is mag

Practical Teaching :
I'm struggling along with my III
actice teaching. I didn't know
ere were so many different
les to teaching school, and that
many problems would arise.
We a lovely supervisor and nice
ildren; but I'll be glad when
ne comes nevertheless. I'm anx-
IS to try teaching ION my own"
.hout the supervisor.
Both the debates I'm in have
IN postponed. They were to

,mpdeA-Sydney men was sick,

y just weren't ready to meet
yet. The H. S. debate comes

has been set.
