Hezekiah Has Busy Day, and Works An Old Story The day certainly began well. We had chapel first thing In the morning. I was supposed to sit in

the south balcony, but I was tired of it so I decided to sit down etalrs I tried mr best to hide behind a very large hair ribbon, but it did no good. Miss Sharpe got me. The first hour 1 went out in the library. I knew that that check was not very good on my interest, so I decided to be real good, but somehow the fellows get all tangl ed up and someone stepped on a very tender part of my foot. Just as I was landing the unabridged dictionary on his head, Verna, the bookkeeper stopped buzzing with a half a dozen boys, she is always buzzing with and down went my name on an everlasting piece of yellow paper, with a check beside it. Oh, well we should worry, that was the first day of the six weeks! Next hour was English. I always Blept through that but a recitation made me think of a rare joke I heard. So I wrote it on a piece of paper and passed it tl the fellow back of me. "What are you doing, Hezekiah,? asked Miss Nora. "Bring the paper here again," she said very sweetly. The Joke was good, no use denying.it. The next hour was German. I always did like that teacher but she did not like me, for when I stuck a pin between the shoulders of the little boy in front of me, she yelled, "Hezekiah, get out of here and don't come back till you get permission from the office." "Wanted to the office, Hezekiah, You could have knocked me downj with a feather, but I had strength I enough to answer the phone. It was my chum. He wanted me to go to the picture show, so I hung up the receiver and said to Miss Hunt, "Miss Hunt, my aunt is at the point of death. I will have to go home at once." "Sure, Hezekiah, hope she doesn't die. (So I wentseeming very sad) Ruth Borton, Age 10 years, grade 6B, Sevastopol school. 8 A Cldss Given Reception by H, S.

It reaches from Hangchow to Tientsin and covers a distance of 1000 miles, crossing two of the world's largest rivers, the Hwang and the Yangtze.

WINTER! Oh, look at the beautiful silver dew, And the skies rich colored hue, And the rivers ice belt, whero the water curled. The trees with frost are heavily hung The sun Its brilliant rays have flung Across the white clad sparkling world. By the Fifth Grade, Joseph Moore School.

January As A Child of China Pictures It How would you like to live in a land where everything is In pic tures? That is the way it is in China, even the language is In pictures, one pi ure for each word. Many ideas have their own pictures and some of these pictures are very popular with the Chinese people. The picture of a great , dragon is one of the favorites. This was in their flag before China became a Republic and made a new flag. Another favorite is the tiger, the picture of which expresses the power of Mother Nature to the people of China. The name of each month in China has been given its own picture by the people of that immense country, and in each picture some animal and some flower is represented. Do you know what it is for January? It Is the picture of a splendid uger and the plum blossom. For hundreds of years the plum blossom and the tiger have been admired and regarded with great reverence by the people. Do you think a picture of a lion and a blossom from a plum tree would make you American boys and girls think of the month of January? Of course not. But the boys and girls of China think "January" right away when they see the tiger and the plum blossom together, and it is to theni a very beautiful thought. She Doesn't Share . .

We fought and ran the fourth grade into the corn field and won. At recess in the afternoon we had an other snow fight. We fought until we had no more amunition, so we had to burst up our snow forts for ammunition. So we won at last. Franklin Walls, Grade 5A, Joseph Moore School.
