A Boy on “Breathing.”

Indianapolis Sentinel. County Superintendent of Instruction Flick ran across the following the other day while traveling in the State. A boy fourteen years old, recently imported rom Kentucky, handed it in as a composition on “Breathing.” The instruction was, “Tell all about the breathing,” He said: “Breath is made of air. We breaath with our lungs, our lights, our liver and kindeys. If it wasn’t for our breath we would die when we slept. Our breath keeps the life agoing through the nose when we are asleep. Boys that stop in a room all day should not brethe. They should wait till they go out doors. Boys in a room make bad unholysome air. They make carbonicide. Carbonicide is poisoner than mad-dog. A heap of soldiers was in a black hole in India and a car bonicide got into that hole and killed nearly every one afore morning. Girls kills the breth with corosits that squeezes the diagram. Girls can’t holler or run like boys because their diagram is squeezed to much. If I was a girl I’d rather be aboy so lean holler and run an have great big *Mr Flick says that boy was .given 100.
