She also says | speaking of the first daily class | exercise Prof F. gave, (namely to | ejaculate "Ba! Be! Bo! Bi! | Bau!," standing in line & taking | deep-breaths) remained a lasting | memory with Orrin [Orrin Derbyshire Wright] and was in- | deed so latent in his conciousness | that the day he died he suddenly | out of a deep sleep loudly pro- | nounced those syllables. (J.c.K.) [This may be Jessie Catherine Baker Hatch (Kinsley).] | Even the children caught the fire | of the Elocution class for when | Ormond Burt [Ormond Noyes Burt] stood before a line | of cows in the barn at W.C. - (the class | had been practicing & W.C. also) - he | called out |  "How now shall we turn Turk | Lets kill slay slaughter"- | and a cow thus challenged | hooked him under the eye ;
