THE SPIRIT OF OUR SCHOOL 13 .WISE AND 5 OTHERWISE li ra -l : i A lA teacher used to ask the chil- dren who came late this question: What time should you be in school P The reply of course was 8 o'clock, followed by their excuses. One morning a brisk little young- ster, burst into the room at 9 o'clock, flung back the door, called out S o'clock,' and calmy proceeded to his seat. Signs of an early morning rain storm could be seen on the blades of grass in the garden one hot day. Little Marjorie strolling along with her mother remarked Oh, the day is so warm, even the grass is perspiringf' Harken to the fog horn! Why no 'tis the whispering of our governor. Teacher- Where do we obtain tar ? Pupil- On the roofs. When Seymour- was asked if he was born in Seymour Conn., he answered No, I was born in America. A chipmunk is a monkey with a chip in him. Question-When are you going to begin to start to get ready? A bullet had drilled the helmet of a colored doughboy, leaving a smoking trail in his wool. Woof! remarked his buddy.

Ans: The police force! He: I want to know if you will be my wife? S She: What's your salary? He: l5 a week. She: Sl5! Why that wouldn't keep me in handkerchiefsf' He: Oh, but I can wait till your cold's better. Coal prices are much like meteors. They always fall in some town several hundred miles away. Sunday School Teacher: Who were the three wise men ? Johnnie: Stop, Look and Listen. Teacher Qto Tsaacl: What would you do if you had SS. Fd change it into dollars, then halves, then quar- ters, then dimes, nickles and pennies. Why all the changing ? Well, maybe somebody will make a mistake. Little Girl: What did you get for Christmasiv' Little Boy: A lot o' toys, an en- gine, lots o' candy, nuts, cake-an' a dose 0' castor oil. A FEW FACTS MR.
