How it Came About -WANT - TO-BE - SOMEWHERE- ELSE and I-Want-To-Do-Some- thing-Different met and talked it over. “I£ we can combine,” said I-Want-To- Be-Somewhere-Else, “ we can conquer the world.” “Aren't we doing fairly well as it is?” said I-Want-To-Do-Something- Different. “We cover the ground pretty thoroughly as it is. You keep everything moving generally, and I control the women and the school ” replied I-Want-To-Be-Some- where-Else, “ you forget that under the present régime something is occasion- ally done.
