change has discovered that
there is wide difference be-
tween the school books of today
and those of long ago. He says
when re went to school he read
his lesson iG the first reader
something like this: See the
COW. Is the cow nice? Can the
COW run as fast as the horse?
No, the COW can not run as fast
The horse" But the latest up
to date reading of it by the av-
erage kid is as follows: "Gee,
get on to de COW. Hain't she a
beaut? She is a corker. Can
lie COW get move on herself:
You bet she kin. Can she hump
like it de boss? Nit-she amt
in it wild de boss"
