illustrated half page on the Carlisle school. No name given. One paragraph, the "Crucial Point," inserted leaving the institution is very human - 'one of the boys discusses the situation most intelligently'. "We come here, we are awfully homesick for a week, perhaps a month. We go home, we have learned other ways, and we are awfully homesick for the rest of our lives." If you were taken underlined from your home too early you have the advantage of these others, for you happily miss the homesickness, and I sincerely hope you escape this life-long malady. How can the pale face ever make good to your people the cruel wrongs of all the centuries?

You recall that I often mentioned to you a boarding house friend the "Invalid," she who had the cancer and other dreadful ailments. I have since heard with much regret of her death, for she was good to me, a stranger. I was surprised too, for some how death never grows common enough to lose its element of surprise, for always there are peculiar features which seem to set each case apart by itself. She had gone to the city to be treated for and was seemingly cured of cancer, and went home and died of pneumonia - or could the X Rays have injured her lungs?
