the subjects In which they We're sup
posed to have been taught. He skip
ped about from arithmetic to gcogra-
ply, from geography to grammar,
from grammar to spelling, all In such
u confusing way that II he had asked
what day Of the month the Fourth ct
July came on, half the children would
have said they didn't know.
At last, pointing his finger ut small.

he shouted. you, there! What do you
