" Dear Elizabeth, I received your most welcome card. I could not come to visit you so I thought I would write. I was home last week for the first time. I saw Clayton's presents. They all are very beautiful. We received almost two dozen presents. I wish you would come down to visit me here at school over Sat. and Sun. I must close. Write again. Lovingly, Mae. Does Bertha go to school?"

Rec'd your card on Tue. dinner. Was glad to hear from you. Yes, had a very nice time over Easter at Helen's place. Who would not enjoy being in her company? Some of that storm reached E-town on Sun. Didn't you join the army yet? I just heard this evening that they had fire at Hershey. Resp'y, Lizzie.
From the first issue: "The School Forum is a local school journal published in the interest of the schools of Lancaster county [sic] and dedicated to the welfare of our boys and girls. The labor bestowed up it is a free-will offering from those who earnestly desire to see our sdchools attain a higher rank in popularity and effiencey. The committee appointed to superintend its publication is composed of men and women whose time and ability are already em[ployed upon other duties. And yet the spirit in which it has been undertaken, the services tendered and the support pledged ar ea guaranty that no effort will be spared to make it a live, progressive paper, suggestive of much that will be found helpful in promotiong our educatgional interests."
