Those Schoolroom Rules.
Don't spi, your slate " says the state board Of
health
To youngsters who cipher today;
For microbes will enter your system BY stealth
And you'll pine with consumption away"
That kid of the past from death could be saved
modern would hardly believe,
II told Of the states with saliva laved
And rubbed with a dirty old sleeve.
To assis; you in turning the reading book page.
Don't lap that unmancured thumb"
Commandeih the board Of this fussy clean age,
And never o never swap gum"
With horror the board would surely expire
Al the euds which through school used to rove,
And when Jaw after Jaw in their chewing would tire
They we're stuck on the bench or the stove
The candy ball, too that bulged the soft cheek
Was deadly eonfecton, no doubt
As in mouth after mouth its sweetness would leak
When unerudgingly passed about.
That the state board Of health is wise in its rules
VIII be cheerfully owned BY all,
Though they pity the kids Of the presen, day schools
With no common candy ball.
