No Longer on the Map.

“What makes you so late?” asked Tim’s father, who in the boy’s absence had had to see to the evening' chores himself. “Teacher kept me In.” “What for?” “ ’Cause I couldn’t find Moscow on the map.” “Couldn't find Moscow? And I’d like to know who could, then! Why, I remember hearing tell of Moscow being burned when I was a boy! It’s an outrage to put such nonsensical questions to children what’s there to learn something useful. I’ll look into that and let yer teacher know I ain’t been elected on the school hoard for nothing!”—London Globe.
