A st. Louis paper tells touching story
OF school life. IL illustrates both the long
ing of children to appear as well AZ them
schoolmates and the mental sufferipg- III.
cident to poverty. In one of the Vt.
Louis public schools many OF the children
who came from distance were aocus
toned to bring a lunch, and thus save d
long walk home to dinner. They generally
ate il together and had merry tune.
Among those who stopped one of the
teachers noticed little girl who never
brought any lunch, but who looked y ISL
fully at her playmates as they were eating
the noon meal. But one day the girl
brought her bundle also, wrapped in
paper. At noon she did not go with the
others, but remained at her desk MS if pre-
ferring to eat alone Toe teacher, think
ing her unsocial, advised her to go to the
lunch room with her playmates. and
walked to the desk TO take her bundle.
But the little girl bursting into sobs said /:
Don't touch it, teacher; and oh. teacher.
don't tell, please. It's only blocks" The
poor girl had no dinner to bring, but
wished to keep up appearances, SO rs
not to seem unlike her schoolmates. And
she was one of the best scholars iu the
school. She was very dear to her teacher
heart after that incident.
