MAY INDEX FOR NINETEEN HUNDRED SEVENTEEN Those Lengthy Lessons ELLEN GOULD Dear friends, I want to ask you all, If you have found it true. That since you started school, last fall. You ' ve had too much to do? Perhaps you know the reason why; — ;s not hard to explain, I ' ll do so in the next few lines And try to make it plain. You see, our school lets out at noon. But then, we start at eight! It ' s nice to be excused so soon. But hard not to be late. And since we have all afternoon. In which we have no school. The teachers give us lessons, long. Which is indeed, most cruel! Oh, you can work all afternoon — Thafs what they always say; Bui I should like to know, right soon. When we ' re supposed to play. ' Tis study this, and study that. Until we ' re nearly dead. And when we think we ' re almost through, Ifs time to go to bed. Dear teachers, you are not alone The ones for whom we work; So do not be too hard with us. If sometimes we do shirk. Recall the time when you yourselves. Were back in childhood days; Remember too, the Golden Rule, And practice it always. Oh, deal with us accordingly. Just make those lessons short! We ' ll work for you most willingly, E ' en though it be no sport. Again, dear friends, I ask you all. If you ' ve not found it true. That since you started school last fall. You ' ve had too much to do?

MAT INDEX FOR NINETEEN HUNDRED SEVENTEEN again I discovered I could not move my left wing and that it pained me terribly. To save myself from being shot at again, I dove and swam until 1 could hold my breath no longer. When 1 came up, I was under cover of some thick rushes, but was just in time to see the hunter pick up my dead mate and drop her into his boat. With a sinking heart, I swam from cover to cover until I gained the bog upon which 1 climbed and hid. My wing throbbed with pain until I almost wished 1, too, had been killed. I lay in hiding, eating what I could find, which was not much, since I could not fly about. Gradually my wing grew stronger, and, when the lakes and marshes froze over, I was able to join nine other mallards and journey to the South. Today I am back in dear old Wisconsin, and am glad to be where ducks are protected through the spring months. I have been shot at continually from the time I left last fall, so do you wonder that I hardly know how to act or what to do with myself where there are no hunters to molest me? I have not as yet regained the sense of freedom and security I possessed when a baby duck, yet my heart no longer leaps into my throat at the sight of man. It seems almost too good to be true to be able to swim about the same old marsh and dear old nesting place with something of the freedom I enjoyed when a little duckling not quite a month old. A Day in May By NIA E. BLOOM The daisies peep from every field, And violets sweet their odor yield, The purple blossoms paint the thorn, And robins sing in early morn. The sun looks down with radiant eye And throws a smile around the sky; He drops his rays on hill and stream Warming nature with his beam. Behold, the lark is on the float; What warbles he in his sweet note? What warbles he with merry cheer? Lei love and pleasure rule the year. Pago twenty-three
