It ,was then cut into small pieces and a hole was made into them. Each piece was to be a pencil. It was painted blue and green and some lead was put in it. The pencils were bought by boys and girls to use in school. RICHARD BREEN, Second Grade. MY PLAYMATES I have many little playmates. They are nice little girls. I don't like the rough ones.

W f t -, . .. 1.3 X lfw WHY I DON I' LIKE SCHOOL The reasons why I don't like school fill a tablet. The first and biggest is, I don't like to study. I would much rather eat candy, build caves, and play Indian and cowboy, but all the people older than me say I'll have to go until I'm sixteen or be a hobo. Well, the way I feel now I'll be a hobo or be going to school till I'm twenty-five or more. You see, even a tramp gets songs and rhymes made about him. and it must be fine to go traveling from town to town. But going to school isn't much fun. It's Robert, you're as slow as molassesg get your work doneg you'll be a good-for-nothing if you can't talk to folks and figure out things. School is all right for those who like it, but as for me every day I say, I wish I could find the fellow who invented it. ROBERT CUNNINGHAM, Third Grade. MARY'S PAL When I first saw my dog she was surely a dirty little puppy, because her mamma kept her in the furnace room. At first I did not think I would like her, but after she had a nice bath, she looked like another animal. She was as white as snow, with two brown ears that felt like velvet, a little brown spot on her back, and such a little bobbed tail, I could hardly find it. We named her Pal. One night she disappeared and was gone for three weeks. I prayed to St. Anthony to help me find her, and he clidg for one morning Pal walked into church during the eight o'clock mass, but she didn't stay there long, for someone took her out by the back of the neck. She is just full of tricks and always up to mischief. One day she tore a head of cabbage all over the dining room: another day she pulled a carton of eggs off the table and we had scrambled eggs all over the kitchen floor, but just the same, we love her better every day, and hope to keep her till she dies. MARY HUGH:-:s, Third Grade. A.--Have you anything for gray hair? B.-Nothing but the greatest respect. X. S.-He was driven to his grave. Y's.-Sure, he was: did you expect him to walk? NO-Why did God make Adam first? SO-I don't know, my lad, unless it was to give him a chance to say a few words. Old-Did you file those letters as I told you? New-I couldn't find a file, so I trimmed them with the scissors. T.-Can you give me a word like dangerous, meaning full of danger? P.-Yes, pious, full of pie. The thing that counts the most and costs the least is just a pleasant smile. One hundred four'
