SLIM PORTO RICO
FIN Island Only Thirty.six
Inches LUide.
(PriZe,)


EOR geography one day we had
the study of the West Indies. 1
read the lesson very carefully and
when I came to the length and width
of Porto Rico read as follows:
Porto Rico is one hundred miles in
length and thirty-six inches in
width" I read it over two-or three
times and read it the same way
every time. Then I looked at the
map and said to myself, porto
Rico is half as wide as it is long,
I finally decided that Porto Rico was
one hundred miles long and thirty
six inches wide. When class was
called my teacher said to. me, ma
bel, what is the length and width of
Porto Rico?" replied, porto Rico
is one hundre ed miles long and
thirty-six inches wide, Ny teacher
told me to look again 1 did so and
found that Porto Rico was one hum
dred miles long and thirty six in
width. I had mistaken the preposi-
ton "in" for the abbreyiation of
inches. Mabel Lundine,

seemed easy at first glance, but somehow a
great many difficulties met before the
seven were safely selected. Many of the papers
sounded suspiciously like the geography or an
encyclopedias, and that is the greatest criticism
to be made. OF course this was natural to a
certain extent; having learned the subject mat
ter almost by heart, Juniors would naturally
express their thoughts somewhat after the
fashion of the book. Still original work is not
impossible even with this kind of topic, and
that is one of the real benefits Of Junior work
