MESSAGE TO HER
PUPILS
Mias Shanklin Writes to Her Little
Friends from Denver.
From far-off Denver, where she is
spending her vacation, Miss Jean
Shanklin, teacher of the primary
grade in the city schools, sends a mes
sage of love to her little friends thru
The Index. Miss Shanklin, in a note j
to the editor says: "I am having a
very pleasant and interesting vaca
tion, but will be ready for school
work when the time comes, though
this is a delightful city in which to
spend one's life, for like the city of
Jerusalem it is glorious for situa
tions.'' Her letter follows:
"Dear little People:—When school
had almost closed, many of you ask
ed me to write to you when I had
nothing to do in the long vacation,
and I promised I would di so, but you
see I'm writing to you ail in one big
letter, for I think it a bei .er way, and
then you will feel I'm thinking of you
all at the very same time.

"I turned from the window and look
