A GIRL WORTH WHILE Miss Annie Menuskin of Chattanooga recently wrote 300 letters - on her typewriter without making a mistake. She has also taken as high as fifty words a minute from dictation direct to the macTTihe.' Thats' a pretty good record, isnt it? But the most interesting part of the story is that she is totally blind. . She was educated the Nashv ... e School for the Blind, where she finished the high school course at the age of 18, and besides her skill at typist she is an accomplished pianist. After finishing a business course, she found dificulty in securing a position, because no one believed that she could do the work under the handicap of blindness. But she would not be thwarted in her determination to succeed and she has now been for several years a public stenographer in a leading hotel, Where she is kept busy. When we who are in full possession of our faculties are disposed to whine about the unkindness of fate we ought to think of whatthis little blind girl has accomplished and be ashamed of our selves. .

Tyler Page, a descendant of President Tyler. The phrases composing it are taken from the Preamble and the Constitution of the United States, the Declaration of Independence, the Oath of Allegiance and from utterance of distinguished patriots, all woven togather into a complete and lofty sentiment, as follows. The American Creed I believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; asovereign Nation of many soverign States: a perfect union, one and insparable: established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American putriptssacficetheii livear and fortunes.
