He says: After paying my expenses, I had nearly a hundred dollars to return to school with.

When I returned I was able to dress very neatly indeed, and the young ladies received me very cordially on the green during social hour.

Before I taught school it was a common saying among the young ladies and young men "Latta"; but after I returned with a hundred dollars it was "Mr.Latta" all over the campus.

I would hear the young ladies saying among themselves, "I bet Mr.Latta will not go with you--he will correspond with me this afternoon." I paid no attention to it.

I said to myself, "Don't you see what a hundred dollars will do ?" In another place the Professor reveals how he came to write his book: "Professor King, one of the teachers at Latta University said to me, 'If I had done what you have done I would have wrote a history of my life several years ago.'" The best part of the book, however, gives us Latta's account of his doings in London: Just before I left the city of London I was invited by a distinguished friend, a close relation to Queen Victoria, to make a speech.
