      INDEX.

      KANSAS WOMEN IN LITERATURE.

           "We are proud of Kansas, the beautiful queen,

              And proud are we of her fields of corn;

           But a nobler pride than these I ween,

              Is our pride in her children, Kansas born!"

           —Ellen P. Allerton—

           —Or adopted. In this galaxy of bright

           women, the State has a noble pride for every

           name, be its owner Kansas born or adopted,

           is a mightier force for good than its walls of corn.

      EFFIE GRAHAM.

      The last place one would expect to find romance is in arithmetic and yet—Miss Effie Graham, the head of the Department of Mathematics in the Topeka High School, has found it there and better still, in her lecture Living Arithmetic she has shown others the way to find it there. Miss Graham is one of the most talented women of the state. Ex-Gov. Hoch has called her one of the most gifted women in the state noted for its brilliant women. Her heart and life are as pure as her mind is bright.

      She was born and reared in Ohio, the daughter of a family of Ohio pioneers, a descendant of a Revolutionary soldier and also, of a warrior of 1812. As a student of the Ohio Northern University and later as a post-graduate worker at the University of California, Chicago University, and Harvard Summer School, she has as she says, graduated sometimes and has a degree but never 'finished' her education.

      Desiring to get the school out into the world as well as the world back to the school, she has spoken and written on Moving Into The King Row, Other Peoples' Children, Spirit of the Younger Generation, Vine Versus Oak, and The Larger Service.

      Pictures Eight Hundred Children Selected, Speaking of Automobiles, The Unusual Thing, The High Cost of Learning, and Wanted—A Funeral of Algebraic Phraseology; also, some verse, The Twentieth Regiment Knight and Back to God's Country are
