RICH, RARE AND RACY.
The New York Sun recently published
a very interesting article interningled
with letters received by suburban school
teachers, among which were the follow
ing:
-Please give the money this
month to my girl Minnie and not to
Fred, for two months he got IS per
cents, and he brought not one cent home,
altho his father and Me licked him.
Mrs. S.
"After receiving that note boy was
sent to Mrs. S. with message explain
ing the meaning of the ninety-hve per
cent. The next day the mother of Fred
called at the school and raised big fuss
She said she was a poor woman, and
needed what little money she. could
scrape up by doing washing. When
Fred earned ninety-fve cents at school
she thought she ought to get the money.
She was told that Fred did not receive
ninety-five cents Then she added:
" You, then, are keeping it, because
the law says the Board of Education gives
out these cents to the smart children ev-
cry mouth. ..A
Even when she went away she re-
fused to believe the story of the real
meaning of IS per cent"
