Mr. Mott has a good personality, is pleasant and agreeable. In my estimation he is a good instructor of beginners. He inspires conficence and courage in his students.

I do not consider him from the point of view of a college graduate at all, but as a person who can teach people to ride, and one who knows how to menage horsese Sincerely, Edna 11 Cabra EM: jl Edna McCullough, Director of Physical Education for Women.
