Thank you very much Mrs. Ellis
for your cooperation in sending
over your husbands most recent
change of address. 1t is most un-
fortunate, that for security reasons
censorship forbids the use of a full
address in publications for Navy
men. We did, however, print all
of Howland's address that we could
under the date of April 9th, 1914,
and have filed away the complete
address for future reference. If
anyone wishes this information,
Dribbles would be only too glad to
furnish it upon request. Give your
husband our very best wishes if
you will, and invite him to Join in
if he can find spare time for writ
ing the column. Meanwhile, please
continue the good work, and let us
know If any future changes occur.

Since you indicated in your letter
that you wished the space reserved
'for some really good reading"
Mrs. Graham, you must not be Of
Tended if my ideas conflict with
those you may have on the subject.
Frankly, Dribbles feels that letters
from the family back at the home
base means just as much to the
soldier or sailor in service as any,
thing he can read. All our service
folk like to know that those back
home are thinking about them, and
this is but one of the many ways
that this knowledge can be trans
mitted on to them. Then too, we
want you, as the wife of service
man, to realize that you are being
fully considered in the policy of
this column. It is so good to know
that so many of our kind ladies,
with a number of fathers included,
are contributing your share to this
idea, and making a mighty good
job of it too. Dribbles is mighty
proud to have your support. Please
give my best to this soldier hus-
band of yours and tell him that
we're looking forward to having
him write in direct one of these
days before long. Remember me
to the children and those two
brothers-in-law of yours, Stanley
and Francis. Stanley sent through
very nice letter awhile back, but
that fellow Francis has never writ
ten in since he entered the Service.
Yes, and he was one of my good
friends. My, what a difference a
new wife will make sometimes. On
April goth, 1914 your husbands
name was added to the Honor Roll.

Bainbridge, Maryland
Glad to hear from you, Bill.
Your change of address and rating
were listed in the column under the
date of April goth, 1914. The fact
that you were holding forth in an
Out Going Unit at the time you
dropped us a card might mean that
you've been assigned to a ship by
this time. A lot can happen in the
u. S. Navy in a thirty-day period.
Yes!! 1 bet you the Japs are say
ing the very same thing, but they
have not seen anything to date. So
far the u. S. Fleet has just been
getting in some intense practice
runs. Wait until they run up on
the Nippon fleet-then watch the
Bows in blue blow the rice out OF
the venturesome rats. There will
be a lot of sinking suns that day.
Sailor, if you have any further
changes, send them right along-a
letter or so now and then as well.
Meanwhile, the best of sailing
while you remain in the Service.

Strange to say, Mrs. Martha R.
FAIRIES, Dribbles talked with Her
man just this afternoon late, few
hours before we sat down to pub
lish your short letter telling us of
his change of address. Course, we
did manage to get the actual ad-
dress in our column, under the date
of April goth, 1914. This makes
us just about a month behind on
our backlog of letters, even
though the addresses get through
on time. Hope you will excuse the
delay, which simply cannot be
avoided at this time. Perhaps, at
some later date We'll begin to catch
up-then again we honestly hope
not, because this would mean that
the Boys and Girls were not writ
ing in as usual, not to mention all
our good friends, like yourself, in
this community. Thanks for your
continued helpfulness, and may it
continue. Now for the dark Sec
ret-"Herman has promised to
write in after he returns from his
present furlough." Oh! Boyi I'm
still holding my breath. Herman
tells me that he will be home for
about a week before he has to re-
turn to Orlando. Hope he will en-
joy every minute of his furlougl
here with his friends.

tie Banks Quinlan, author of the
Quinlan Basal Readers, who con-
Quoted a demonstration class with

The first grade pupils were seat
ed at two tables. Through motiva-
ton Miss Quinlan stimulated these
children's interest in their activity

pupils, seated in semi-circle, read
from the Quinlan Basal Reader. At
ter an hours demonstration with
these pupils, Miss Quinlaan ex-

ton among the teachers, Mrs.
Genevieve Keller, an authorized ex-
pert on teaching reading began a
demonstration with the 5th and

rect use of the dictionary. A class
threading was conducted among the
