Her dark hair becomingly bob bed close to her head, Is threaded with gray, her direct eyes are blue, her chin strong. She doesn't smoke cigarettes, ihc said smilingly to a question, and doesn't "care to talk about women teachers who do." "That's a matter of Individual wishes," she snld. She enjoys the movies. If the pic ture Is "interesting or taken from some good book." and has no favorite classroom subject. "I taught In country schools so long and on so many subjects that I guess I like them all." she said. Miss Samuelson. who began ter teaching career 39 years ago In a schoolhouse rear her home town, thinks education, tn venturing Into . new fields, must not forget estah II shed principles.
