Class of 1891

A recent number of the New York Herald Tribune carries a full-page illustrated account of the work of Dr. Charles S. Little of Letchworth Village, now one of the most famous institutions in the country. Describing him the article says: "He started work about twenty-five yearsago with an inspiration, a dogged determination, a couple of thousand acres ofland in a wilderness, and little else.

"He has pursued his ideal in extremelypractical ways, and today his dream hasbeen realized."

The August number of the NationalGeographic Magazine has as its first number an article by Miriam O'Brien Underhill, daughter of Robert Lincoln O'Brien, entitled "Manless Alpine Climbing," well illustrated and of great interest.

An article in the Boston Sunday Herald of September 9 speaks most encouragingly of the chances of Lieut. Gov. Charles Manley Smith in his campaign for governor of Vermont. [Note: Smith won at the primary. ED.] The Secretary enjoyed a copy of the local paper of Honolulu, sent him by Sidney G. Walker, a special number on account of the visit of President Roosevelt. Sid writes as follows:

"We are enjoying normal summerweather with temperatures ranging slightlyabove 80° in the day time but cool atnight. This is really one of the finest summer resorts in the world and is becomingto be recognized as such. Only a few yearsago there was no tourist travel at this timeof the year, but the present season shows nolet-up, and many people are coming herefor several months stay.

"Business is indicating a satisfactory upward trend, and on the whole it appearsthat Hawaii is in better circumstancesthan any section on the mainland of whichwe have knowledge."

Secretary, 80 Federal St., Boston
