Alice Kyle Niebel.

He also admired the work of Mr. Ohmer, a previous President.

  • From Mr. W.W. Helwig, to the Montgomery County Horticultural Society.
    Mr. Helwig, a superintendent of the county schools, had attended the Montgomery County Horticultural Society meeting in September of 1921 [?]. He was shocked by the criticism by many members on "Agriculture in the Schools." Members of the Society said that the schools were places of "misinformation and stupidity." He tried to go back to the next meeting but was snapped at by the Secretary; for this reason he is writing to the Society explaining what students are learning in schools and on the farms, how students were 20 years ago and how they are today and how good it is to use one's imagination.
  • At the end he has an article:"The Uses of Imagination," New York American, undated.
