ZY RA K LILLIAN COLEMAN, 7 When I woke up This morning, The li++Ie men came over To me and Told me The good news: ThaT I could Take OTT my TavoriTe iackeT, The preTTy whiTe one which laces up To my neck. I immediaTeIy looked Tor my mosT Treasured possessions, a piece oT cardboard and a crayon. Then I TranTically sTarTed To wriTe This arTicle. As I saT in my comTorTable cell, I Tried To visualize The new building ThaT had been builT Tor Girls High. I saw The campus Tilled wiTh girls idly chaTTing abouT The LiIienThaI reporT on aTomic energy, while The TaculTy lounged abouT gossiping among Themselves. Then I picTured The swimming pool. Some girls were playfully splashing in The waTer, while oThers saT happily under The sun-lamps, memorizing quoTaTions from Cicero. NexT a cheerful lunch room scene Tlashed inTo my mind. A group of girls were lisTening spellbound To BeeThoven's MoonlighT SonaTa on The iuke box. Finally They Tore Themselves away To go inTo The caTeTeria. Mrs. YanzTen, The dieTiTian, handed Them menus, which ofiered numerous choice Toods. Then The girls wenT To Their leaTher seaTs and leaTher covered Tables To discuss currenT evenTs, since They belonged To Miss WeinsTein's currenT evenTs club. Miss BarTleTT came To plead wiTh Them To raise Their voices, because The quieTness oT The lunch room disTurbed her. Finally, This sad picTure flashed inTo my mind. Mrs. Kahn's oTIicial class was begging her To IeT Them sTay in school a liTTle longer. She goT ouT oT This siTuaTion by promising Them ThaT The doors would be open aT a quarTer To eighT The nexT morning so ThaT They could sTay longer in school The nexT day. The girls wenT sadly home, Thinking abouT Mrs. Kahn's uniusT compromise. lncidenTally, while my readers are waiTing Tor These pleasanT scenes To maTerialize, They can drop by and see me. There's loads oT room here, and The aTTendanTs give us The mosT aTTracTive sTraiT-iackeTs. OhI dear, here comes The IiTTIe men! 'Please IeT me keep my crayon! l wanT To draw preTTy picTures on The walls'. I-IOXX! SCI-ICDOLS BEGAN WMM sinus. s Many, many cenTuries ago on a small island called EducaTion lived a man called Schuss and his wife called Ool. They had Two children, a boy named Boran and a girl named Arda. These Two children were so naughTy ThaT Their parenTs had To Tind someThing worThwhile wiTh which To pass Their Time. They ThoughT and ThoughT Tor aT leasT a week. Finally a brighT idea sTruck Them: Schuss dropped The IasT Three IeTTers in his name, added The TirsT Three To his wiTe's name, Thus geTTing The word school. This name They applied Tc Their children's Training. The children wenT Through eighT years of schooling raTher rapidly buT soon were as naughTy as ever. Again Their parenTs ThoughT up anoTher period of schooling. Because The work was harder and The sTandard higher, They called iT high school. Here The children learned numerous subiecTs, including various languages. ATTer These Tour years had elapsed, The children were very Tond oT school, They requesTed Their parenTs To make ano-Ther Term oT schooling called coIlege. Their requesT was granTed, and Today because Boran and Arda were naughTy, we have school. LaTer schools were Tormed everywhere: because of This a regulaTion commiTTee was seT up. The TirsT Two IeTTers of Boran's name and The TirsT Three of Arda's were used To form board , and because They came Trom The island of EducaTion, Board was joined wiTh EclucaTion. This formed, Board of Educafion, The board which runs our schools Today. SixTeen f
