The Young Idea.

An East Orange teacher contributes some bright things by her pupils. Marcus, about seven years old, was reported as saying a bad word. His teacher asked him about it. He said, "I didn’t mean to; my mouth slipped.” One child wrote, “Niagara runs with the force of 16,000 horse powders.” Another reported, ‘There was a fierce crowd on the Mayflower.” In a sewing class of little girls the talk got around to marriage. One of the children said, “I am not going to get married; taxes are too high.”— Newark News.
