At the head of our corner everybody
is invited to write, and the corner
seems to be getting some very interest
ing as we'll as instructive letters.
Some are taking the opportunity
offered by this corner to air their little
love effairs, which I think is very bad
taste. I don't think Chatham Rab-
bit' should hold himimself up in this
corner to be laughed at.
Ia every corner set apart, In the pa
pers, for girls and boys, the girls are
generally in the majority. I wonder
Why it Is so3 Can't the boys write let
ters, or do the girls write so much bet
ter letters than the boys that they are
ashamed for theirs to be seen with the
girls. Sometimes the girls make fun
of the boys letters, which is perhaps
one reason why they do not write
more. 1 believe boys can write letters
if they just try.
There is just such a '"batin club" in
this section as was described i'm this
