There is another child, xho is a pupil at
one Of the city schools, little eleven year
old girl. Satchel in hand she can be seen

heavy enough to defor m her, Q half mile to
school and then home again every night
All day she is busy studying away. racking
her little brain over illustrations and rules,
problems and examples. analysis and gen.
eralizstion, moods and lenses, definitions
aud diagrams. Flushed and fevered she
sits. hour after hour, straining her nerves
to the utmost tension. trying hard, hard,
oh, how hardl to hold ner own with girls of
ourteen end fifteen years. asd get a high
rank in the cisss. And after day il over
and the gas is lighted, out from the corner
comes the books again and at it again she
goes, slate and pencil in hand, trying to
solve examples which would puzzle two
thirds OF the business men on Gay street.
Bent over in the chair she ciphers and rubs
out, fIls the slate, turns it over, fills the
other side, all in vain endeavors to do the
work of man, till, at length, long after her
little eyes should be closed in quiet sleep,
she drops slate ane pencil and book in de-
spair, and in the anguish of disappoint-
ment and failure. gives vent to her feelings
in food of hot, burning tears.
Relieved somewhat, she cools her hea ed
temples with copious bathing and before
returning to restless. dreamy sleep. writes
q letter to her father and leaves it on the
stand for him when he returns at night
Here it 10:
Dear papa: I can't get these horrid ex>

are too heavy for me. I wish you to let me

years older than me, and her father lat her

too hard for me, and cant keep up my
grade, and will lsll on examination, and
