Once thero was a little boy whose name was Harry. One day he wanted to go hunting with some boys. He asked his mother if he could go. His mother said he could not go. But when his mother went away he went. His mother began to get worried. Just then she heard some one crying, it was Harry. A big dog was running after him. He told his mother he would never run away again. Donald Gilliland. Star School. A NEW REVEILLE. Dear Aunt Polly: 1 had a little chicken. It wanted to play with me. It perched on my nose and awoke me. Gladys Brown. Warner School. He Can't Read An Indian papoose will reach for the moon the same as any other baby. He wants what he wants when he wants it and will cry for it as lustily as a white child. Under their skins, in their hearts i.nd in their brains, redskin and whiteskin and blackskin and yellowskin and brownskin children are as alike as five peas in a pod. Take i hem when they are young and educate and train them and what they learn will never entirely depart from them. All can be trained to become good citizens and good workers if they have the chance. Missionaries have found that work among the children of any race is many folds more successful than among adults. That is why the Episcopal church has centered its work among the American Indians upon the children and why it hopes to enlarge and ex

Old New England Sunday was a very dull day in New England. The people had to get up Sunday morning early to go lo Sunday school and church. The children could not play in the afternoon. In church the people would leave their overcoats on all morning in the winter, because they did not have stoves in those days. The boys would have a pew all to themselves. The men had a pew, too, and so did the women and girls. There was a man who had a long pole, which on one end had a brass knob and on the other, a rabbit's foot. When a boy was bad, he would hit him on the head with the brass knob. When the women went to sleep, he would tap them on the head with the rabbit's foot end. The people had big dinners on Sunday. The people did not celebrate Christmas very much, because England celebrated Christmas, and New England did not like England very much. Thanksgiving was the big day. They would have big dinners. They had turkeys, chickens, pineapples, all kinds of vegetables, com, apples, bread, butter, cake, all kinds of pies, puddings, potatoes, beans and peas. The children played games and popped corn. The children used slates instead of paper. They had reading, writing and arithmetic. Some of the houses had as many rooms as twelve. Some of the rich people had a houseful of servants that did all the work. They lived in small houses close by. There were colored children running every place, getting in their master's way. The men who owned these houses were very happy. Robert B. Hough. Garfield School.

The Story Of Tommy Once upon a time there was a poor woman and she wanted some children, but she didn't have any. She was sixty years old and thought she would soon die, but she said she would never be happy till she had some children. So one day she went to a place where she heard of some children and she took one of them home with her. She gave it every thing she had. She spent all her money on it and she named it Tommy. And Tommy grew up to love her and the old lady died when she was ninety years old. Tommy was heart broken. But a kind lady took hiin to raise and was very nice to him, but he missed his mother more and more, he would often cry for her. But Tommy grew more every day. Fnally he was twentyone years old. He got older and older till finally he died. His adopted mother grieved over him so did his father and sister and brother. But Tommy got to see his mother at last. Nina Murray. An Elephant's Hair Many persons wonder why young elephants have hair on the top of their heads. This seems peculiar, but the answer is really simple enough. Historians tell us that, in prehistoric times, mighty mastodons and mammoths were covered from head to tail with a very coarse hair, which, in many cases, grew long. So the elephant's forefathers had long hair, but as the world changed with regard to weather conditions, from the bitter frosty glaciers that were eucounttered to the modern climate of extreme heat and cold, the rlcphane gradually doffed his overcoat. The hair sometimes seen on the top of his head alone remains as a reminder. Christian Science Monitor

What Is Recess? Once upon a time there lived an old lady and a little boy, about five years old. And his mother said, "I am going to send you to school. An then I will ask you what you have learned." So he went to school, when the bell rang for recess, he went up and asked the teacher If it was time to go home yet. The teacher said, "No, it is not time to go home yet, it is only recess. And the boy said, "What is recess? Do you know?" The teacher said, "It is when you go out of doors to play and swing and have a good time. Did your mother say you could go out and play?" "Yes, my mother said I could go out and play, but sho said she was going to give me a spanking if she knew 1 was down on the ground today." Olive Dershem. McAdoo Makes Address For Rally Mr. William G. McAdoo, chairman of the Citizens' National Committee of Boy Scouts, and former i secretary of the treasury, gave an .address at the national rally of Boy Scouts, held in Madison Square Garden on May 17. He gave a ringing tribute to the work of the Boy Scouts during the war, especially praising their ability as financiers. He urged them to undertake the great jot of helping to Ameri'-anizo Americans, and believes they can be a great force in this respect. In his speech, he says: "So I look upon this Scout Movement as having potentialities for better citizenship, for nobler citizenship, for more patriotic citizenship, than that of any other organization in this great country."

Hunting A Candy Telegraph Pole There was once a little boy who dreamed thero was a Btick of candy as high as a telegraph pole. He jumped up out of bed and put on his clothes and started out to find the stick of candy. He walked and walked until he met an elephant. The elephant said, "Eny, meny, miny mo; won't you tell me what you know?" "I know a stick of candy as high as a telegraph pole and I am going to get it." "May I go, too?" said the elephant. "I can hold it with my trunk." "Very well," said the boy. "Come along." So they walked and walked. After while they they met a sawfish. The sawfish said, "Eny, meny, miny, mo; won't you tell me what you know?" "I know a stick of candy as high as a telegraph pole and 1 am going to get it." "May I go, too?" said the sawfish. "I can saw it down.' "Very well," said the boy. "Came along." So they all started off. After while they came to the mountain. They climbed up the mountain and when they got to the top, they sa the stick of candy. The boy put his arms around it; tho elephant put his trunk around it; and the saw-Ash began ta saw. And they lived happy ever after. Maurice Denney. 4A, Sevastopol School.

The other day, when I was goin? to the grocery, a little white dog followed me home. And when I got home, I said to it, "Puppy, did you lose your mama?" And it put its head in my lap and cried. And I suppose it got lost someplace and followed me home. And I thought I would take It and let it out, and some girls came along and took it home with them. And that is the last I saw of the little puppy. June Schramm. 3A, Warner School.
