Children Bid Soldiers Goodbye Yesterday when the second train load of Richmond soldiers left for Camp Taylor, all the boys and girls of the city, who go to school east of the river, were lined along Tenth street to cheer the boys goodbye as they marched to the station. Even kindergarten children were waving flags and cheering, and with the senior boys of high school marching with the seventy-five Sammies and shouting their loudest, it made one of the most stirring scenes Richmond ever has known. Since it was too far for the boys and girls of Baxter, Sevastopol and Joseph Moore schools to walk clear over to Tenth street, those children were forced to think their goodbyes, but the upper grade at Joseph Moore school had a chance to see the soldiers start marching from the court house, since they were on their way over to visit the Art Gallery. Altogether it was a day that those Richmond children will remember all their lives, and when they grow to be old men and women, they can tell their grandchildren how they watched the parade with the band playing and tho flags ifying, the tottering old soldiers keeping step, and the new soldiers carrying their traveling bags and waving their hats as they went by on their way to war.

THE UNSELFISH GIRL Once upon a time there was a little girl whose name was Dorothy. She had been playing in the yard a long time and was very hungry. She ran in the house and asked her mother for a piece of pie. Her .mother gave her a piece and site ran out on the door step to eat it. Her aunt's dog, Fred, came running up and sat down in front of her. He looked at her as if to say "Give me a bite." She war? so hungry she did not want, to give him one bite. Rut her mamma had taught her not to be selfish. So she felt sorry for the dog and gave him half of iter lunch. She ran in the house and told her mother about it. Her mother was so pleased, what her little girl had

done, so she gave her an extra piece of pie. Corene Robinson, 5(3 grade, Whitewater school.

Once upon a time there was a little boy named Jimmy His father and mother had toid him to always be in early at night. Rut -he would not do it so one niirht if happened to lie Hallowe'en and he was out. on the street very late- - His father thought he would scare him so he went out in the garden and got a big pumpkin. This he made into an ugly head. He put a candle into it and Jit it. He then set it on a gate post down the street where - Jimmy had to pass. He then hid behind a tree to see what Jimmy would do. When Jimmy came past lie saw it and he ran home as las as he could, and his father could hear him crying. This was a lesson for Jimmy and he never wished to say out late after that. Clarence L.

I .'.Well." came the answer, "I j have a moveable belt and 1 jir-t

t round'

Is the delicate and graceful Hala Brown, And so therefore I'll Mrive with

vim I To give an artistic description of j him. j His feet are extensive, his legs are

tan, His shoulders are narrow, his neck is small. A mop of hair that twists and winds. Covers one of the most brilliant minds. He swallows some needles to sharpen his wit, And takes an ink tablet b fore English. Lit. The most awkward thing he ever did, I hope, Was to fall through a .hob in the back of his coat.

Our editor, Nellie Livezey, is absent from school on account of her sister having the diphtheria. We hope she will be back very soon. The girls of the sixth grade have already canned tomatoes and peaches in our cooking class. The sixth grade boys are making the ranks and are planning to make an aeroplane and other things. We have three ball diamonds and the boys are much interested in playing Lis 11. The big boys would like to play ball with some other school. If anyone wants to come, we are ready. Mr. .Edsail, our janitor, is very nice to us and keeps our school house and yard in very good order. Aunt Molly comes to see us very often and we like her to come. Salvador Porfidio brought his pet. bunny to school for the kindergarten children to see.

The OB. class in geography is making a special study of Calirornia and are writing to western land agents for circulars describing farms, orchards and ranches. We want to thank our teachers for their kindness to us. We learn many tilings at school and have a very good time. The girls have a new volley ball.

We hope the boy's slide will soon be rc paired.
