Il was elected treasurer of the
freshman class and soon after that
was admitted to the college choir
But I had to drop that later because
it conf1icted with my outside job and
my homework.
1T was quite while before I
got the real break was waiting for,

came and now I'm secretary to the
head of my department. l have
become quite interested in phlloso-

and Emerson in my spare time. 1
don't know what good 1t will DO
me later on, but already I believe
I have a different outlook on many
things.
Il also have met a grand fellow
from - University. who has many
interests in common with mine.
We both like good music, philosophy
dancing and just generally having
a good time. We don't see much
of each other, but We have fun
writing, exchanging points OF view
on almost everything under the sun.
If either of us finds a clipping we
think the other would like, we send
1t. 1t really is more fun than It
sounds and I often find myself run
ming home to see if one of his in
teresting letters is waiting for me.
NV first year has gone so rapidly
that could hardly catch my breath.
II seems like only yesterday that I
wrote to you in the depths of despair
and now I can sing oh, Look at

During Christmas and Easter l
worked as clerk in a large depart
ment store and earned enough to
buy Christmas presents and an Eas-
ter outfit. So, you see, along With
going to college I am also getting
experience in quite few fields. |
don't know vet what Ill do this
summer, but I hope to find some
thing that will help pay my tuition
and buy my clothes and books for
next term.
MY dad and I never really got
along before this, but having 1t in
common seems to have brought us
closer than we have ever been be-
fore. So that is something else /
have to thank you fora close
father daughter relationship. And
believe me, it's really grand.
My marks were fairly good the
first semester. but now they are even
better because l am getting the
hang of it. College does great
things for you, in that it teaches
you to depend on yourself and gives
you self confidence in any situation
Really, you don't realize how
little you know until you sit down
and have a good talk with some of
your professors. I found that out
early. Many students don't like to

to work for, helps you TO fix a goal
and strive toward it. I didn't mean

Population Peak Estimated
At 153,O22,OOO in 1880

The population of the United
States will reach a peak of 1902
600 in 1880, the Census Bureau esti-
mated today Though there may be
a slight additional increase between
1880 and 1885, after the latter year
population probably will decline,
the bureau said.
Though the Census Bureau has
not prepared future estimates OF
its own, in response to many re-
quests for predictions OF popula-
ton growth 1t has selected from
several series of estimates published
in 1887 by the National Resources
Committee the one which appears
to be the most reasonable, In the
light Of the 1910 census data now
available.
Census experts predict = steadily
increasing rate of population growth
during the coming decades. The
estimates forecast a population of
1876. .4s8 900 in 1945, and 14o,561 900
in 1850.
In 1870, according to the esti-
mates, the number OF males and
females will be exactly the same
75,585.000. In the period between
1878 and 1879 average life expec-
fancy will be about 10 years. as
compared with SO years in the peri
cd 1885 to 1889.
