Of his father. He lived alone with
his mother. He had no old man to
teach him the use of the bow or to
enlighten him on the religion and
morals of an ancient people.
As he grew older he showed a
mechanical genius in carving arti-
cles from wood. His mother en-
couraged him. She contrived to get
q petty stock Of goods and traded
with her people. She taught Sequo-
yah to be a good judge of furs
and sent him on expeditions with
the hunters and finally placed him
with the responsibility Of bartering
with the English and the Spaniards.
That was how Sequoyah became
the greatest silversmith Of his
people.
For his furs, Sequoyah received
broad silver pieces from the Span
iards. He beat them into rings and
broad ornamented bands for the
head, devised breast-plates, neck
laces, bells for the ankles, rings
for the toes.
Sequoyah did not share the belief
of his people that the written speech
Of the white man was a gift Of the
Great Spirit. He boldly declared it
to be a mere ingenious thing the
Red Man could master If he would
try.
Sequoyah tried to invent symbols
to represent words. This proved an
unhappy experiment. Three years
of hopeless struggle with the mighty
debris Of his symbols left him q
mighty man of words.
But through that heroic effort,
unaided, Sequoyah gained the first
glimpse into the elements Of Ian
guage.

peak that poked its nose 5000 feet
into the blue and said:
''That's Mount Sequoyah, named

The government named the peak
to perpetuate the memory Of the
uneducated Indian who, without
books or tutors, attained in a few
years what was developed through
several ages Of Phoenician, Egyp-

Sequoyah invented the Cherokee

1t took Sequoyah many years to

The genius, himself unschooled,
finally solved the riddle by using
symbols for syllables and the only
Indian alphabet was created.

Of course we gossip, and of course

Girls come in and sit with Mother

"We have never had a party, my
father not permitting it. He always
says that we ought to find enough
amusement among ourselves. To
tell you the truth the one thing we
would dread above all others would
be necessity of having party. We

boys at all. To have 30 girls arrive,

your own little establishment. Make
few friends, make them slowly and
carefully, and when you feel ready
for it begin with informal little sup

After while, when you and Alma

TINE problem of the decent
girl, who at the same time
\ is young, pretty, and eager
for life and companionship, is a
complicated one. Girls who want
to retain their high ideals of
self-control, to preserve their
standards of purity and dignity,
have a hard time. That is,
some do.
Others have mothers and ia
theirs who remember that once
they were young themselves.
They encourage youthful home
entertainments from the time
the girls are in grammar school.
They build about them a ring of
young friends; they cure shy

sorts of encouraging and unsuspect-
