MY SCHOOL

How I love the Public School, Its yards, where I have played; All niy teachers, fond and dear. Have helped me on my way. I' never was tardy, I'm glad to tell; I always was on time at the ring of the bell. Hard lessons I have learned within its walls. The Arithmetic was the hardest of all. Let us children remember an education today Is something the world can not take away. When our task is finished and our school work done, Our life's battles will . better be won. Every day my studies are harder to do, Every lesson is practically new. With lots of will power and plenty of pep, I will master each lesson step by step. To my teachers I owe a great deal of love. They have stood by me, loving and true. ' They have molded my life day by day, Like the sculptor molds his clay. Betty Estelle, Denai3 Junior High schooL i A DIFFERENT BIRD HOUSE Many of you juniors are building birdhouses nowadays, aren't you? Some of them are for little brown wrens. We thought of that as we read a joking little verse, made up by a man who was "showing" London to tourists. Pointing to the great cathedral of St. Paul's, he said: "A marvelous building, the glory of men, The most beautiful nest, ever built by a Wren." You see, the great architect who planned this beautiful cathedral was named Wren. "O" the Difference " Mr. Cox, the Arithmetic teacher, had asked the pupils to write the definition of a straight line. One girl wrote: "A straight line is the shortest distance between two pints."

The Story of a Trip to a Molasses Mill

The mill I saw was east of Cen-ten-ille, south of the traction line. There is a man and three boys in this mill. They make sorghum molasses. First, they run the can through a machine with steel rollers that presses out the juice, which runs into tanks where it 13 boiled down and slummed to make it thick molasses. From here it goes into cans rnd weighed to tell you how many gallons there was from your cane. They charge you about 40 cents a gallon for making it for you. They told mo to go upstaira where it was boiled, and the room was full of steam from the boiling juice. I could not see anything for a time and I was afraid to move. Then I went to the engine room, where I saw a man firing the engine, and he told me that when the cane was pressed it was dry enough to burn. He put some of it in the engine and it burned just like dry wood. Ami they told me, when I left, that they were glad I came to see the mill and invited me back to the mill whenever I wanted to come. I hope to see this in the Junior. Edith Gentry, grade 4, Green's Fork, Ind. Dear Edith: Indeed, you will see this in tho Junior. It is a very good story. Sorghum makes me think of pancakes. Aunt Polly. THE REQ TIN BOX Once there was a little boy and girl. Their names were Eugene and Jene. Their father was a sailor. He left home when they were babies. Their mother had to work. She worked in a confectionery. The children had to do the work about the house. One day, after the work was all done, the children went out on the beach to play, Eugene said he was going to build a castle bo strong that it would hold both of them. Jene said she was going to collect treasures. As Eugene was making his castle he found a piece of seaweed. He gave it to Jene. She ran home and then ran back again. Eugene was watching for the tide to come in and with it they saw a little box. It was red. But they could not get it open because they had no key that would fit. Eugene said, VLet us take it home to mother." So, they took it home and when their mother came home they gave her the box. She looked at it ann then gave it back, for she said they ! did not have any key that would fit. Jene took the box and hid it on the garret rafters. The little box was forgotten. About two years after that they went on a fishing trip. Eugene caught a big tarpin. But what was their surprise, when they cut it open and found a very small key. Jene got up from the table and ran up to the garret, and got the box to see if it would fit and sure enough, it would. She unlockekd it, and found it was full of jewels. When the children were about 12 years old, and their mother was at the confectionery, a tramp cameup to her and said he would like to have a glass of lemonade. She gave it to him and he gave her a nickel. But this man was very rich and afterwards found out he was their father. They told him about the little box and he said that he had set it afloat. He bought them a new supply of clothes, and everything else they wahted. and thpv lived in plenty the rest of their lives. Evelyn Maule, 5A grade, Joseph Moore school.
