Reverie 13 as actually to say that "nothing was accomplished," or that Jack Bond, who certainly knows better, can be cited to the same effect. In view of what I have written above, and of the excellent analysis of achievementsby Edward H. Cole in Interlude, Mr. Holton (and Mr. Bond, if correctly quoted,) owe an apology to the convention and to the Association for so astounding a misstatement. Of the convention, I have nothing but pleasant recollections, and wish that I had space for an account of some of its features outside of the business. But Mr. Cole, Miss Turnepseed and others are taking care of that end; and we are all looking for a treat in the next issue of Happy Daze. I am honestly pained, however, to know that in the eyes if Elizabeth Jordan (and inferentially in those of Bayard Oxtoby), I am so unfortunate as to have appeared to be nothing buy a verbose nuisance, who objected to everything under the sun, simply for the sake of objecting. I cannot retaliate in kind, even if I would; for my impressions of Miss Jordan were of the most pleasant kind; and from the spirit which she showed in every way, I predict that she will need only experience to become one of our most valuable members. She and Miss Turnepseed represent the finest hopes for the future. Of course, I objected to certain proposals, which from many years of past experience and in some cases my knowledge of what similar methods had done in the past, I could not believe wise. Many projects appear well on paper or when eloquently voiced by an able speaker, but do not pan out when carefully analyzed. When it is proposed to upset our whole way of doing things, it is certainly proper to ask for time to consider and reflect, rather than to decide offhand to take a leap in the dark. My objections in more than one case were simply to overhasty decision; it is probable
