composition was handed in by girl of
twelve: "The boy is not sn animal, yet
they can be heard to considerable dis.
lance. When boy hollers he opens his
big mouth like frogs, but girls hold their
tongue til they are spoken to, and then
they answer respectable and tell just
how 1t was. A boy thinks himself clever
because he can wade where the water
is deep. When boy grows up he is
called husband, and then he stops
wading and stays out nights, but the
grown-up girl is a widow and keeps
house,"
