Wellesley the following fall. Here she made a splendid record and graduated at the head of her class of a hundred and fifty, She is now cultivating her musical talent and is becoming quite a per- former on the violin. At the present time the life of Mr, Alan Tull is most unique. On a spot of Africa's most forsaken shore where the waves of the mighty Atlantic roll in, is a small settlement of American mission- aries. Here Mr. Tull is endeavoring to educate the heathen. Sun- day and often during the week, one can find him expostulating to the natives and letting his po w e r of oratory have full away. wbetber the poor ignoramuses gather the full purport of his mean- ing, I cannot say, but at all events they are interested and who knows what Mr. Tull may accomplish far from "The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave'i" Almost every class of young people produces at least one very good writer. This class is no exception. Mary Griffith has really developed many of the qualities of a literary genius. If you had read the----magazine this month and had seen her latest story you would agree with me. The intellectuality and sparkling wit would astound you. She is now busy, rumor says, on a book which will be all the rage. But then you will not be surprised for she was always skillful with that mighty weapon, the pen. Who would have suspected that Mr. William Byerly, the buoy- ant good-natured youth at Western Maryland would ever have become anything as serious-minded as a physician! But truly he has turned out well. After getting his diploma in '07, he determined to enter Hopkins and settle down to work which he did three months later, And the result is he is practising to-day in Baltimore and though still very young is becoming well known. It seems to be the hearts desire of some people to teach. I think it is with Mary Bosley, for she has certainly been successful in "teaching young ideas to shoot." She has worked her way up from one position to another to her present one-the pr-incipal of the high school at Westminster, a most responsible and high position. Patience and persistence have won out for her and I expect she will be able to hold this position for sometime to come-unless some- thing unforeseen happens. 47
