| Oh why do mothers complain of being
tired at night2 1t is very easily told,
they have two or three children to look
after. This being the case why do
parents say THAT the teacher has q
''snap'', as they please to term it,
when the teacher has twenty or more
children to keep out of mischief during
six hours of the day. If some of those
tired out, complaining creatures were
in the teachers place one summer, yes,
even a single month there would be two
asylums in North Dakota inside of a
year. People who know nothing of tho
trials of school teacher will say, lob,
she's receiving a good salary for doing
nothing but sitting down all day"
Here is where they display their COM
pound ignorance.

rendered Teacher Mckay, by the pupils

KIND TEACHER:-We little kids are
only Just learning something Of tho
heaps of stuff that the growed-up-
scholars up stairs know. So you see
we cannot say everything that we
woMld like to, but we Just want to tell
you that we are glad because you were
always so kind and pleasant to US
Some teachers are cranks, you amt
cross at all. We can study better when
the teacher is kind and will laugh with
us once in while. We were bad some
times but you will forgive us for you
know we couldn't Just keep still all the
time. We're not built that way. We
thank you for not getting hot" every
time we did wrong. It's not nice to
hear IL teacher scold. We hope that
your pupils at Mimic will be better than
we were and wish you would have u
nice time there in the summer. Whom
you visit Langdon come to see us and
You bet we shall be glad to see you
Here is a silk handkerchief and q
Christian Endeavor pin and a Scotch
necktie to put it in. Also a nice foun-

of your young friends in Langdon.
