78 THE CORN LADY 



found that we could do some things this 

 year and next year we hope to do much more. 



And I, for one, would rather be a coun- 

 try teacher than do anything else. Of 

 course, Tom thinks when he is through with 

 that post-graduate course in agronomy and 

 animal husbandry and gets on to his farm, 

 that some day he can persuade me that there 

 is one thing better than being a country 

 teacher, even. Do you suppose he can, 

 Daddy? 



I'll be home soon and how glad I am. It 

 is hard to leave here, but the weeks at home 

 and the summer work at Normal School will 

 be just what I require. 



Until I see you, 



Lovingly your 



HELEN.
