comments. and the impression given that for
the amount appropriated an attempt would be

Just before the morning exercises began she was
sitting at her desk. and the children were standing
In groups about the room animatedly discussing
their various important affairs when suddenly the
teacher caught the following scrap of their CONVEX
sation:
But they are born in cabbages; I tell you
know they are"
The speaker was bright eyed little italian boy
who had for his audience q little Sicilian girl
whose soft. dreamy eyes belied very practical
nature.
