BOYS ARE KIND TO NEWCOMER

Dear Aunt Laurie:
One day new boy came to school.
The boys treated hlm very kindly. He
was nervous when he first came to the
room. The boys told him if no one
made a tardy mark they would get a
half hour off. They also told him if
they did not make over 9S per cent
absent marks they would get an hour
off.
He said he would not make any
tardy marks or many absent marks.
He kept his word and has not made a
tardy mark yet. At noon. he stays
on the school steps and watches the
boys at play, but lie said football was
too rough. The boys left him and went
on playing football
Soon after the last bell rang and we
went into school to study When read
ing was, over we got ready for home.
When school was out we went home
together. Your friend,

YOUNG STRANGER is FRIENDLY

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Once to our school there came a new
boy. He was twelve years of age, and
his name was Ed Ketchum. He had
red hair, and his face was almost as
red S his hair on account of the freck-
les. He had very long legs.
Ed had only been to our school
about two months when the tetacher,
who was man, said:
'I want to announce that next week
all of the boys and I are going camp
ing"
After we had been camping about
three days and three nights Ed got
a nightmare He picked one of the
boys up and dropped him in the ashes
from the camp fire. And then he
went back to bed. But we took good
care of him after that, so he did not

ENTERING SCHOOL is HARD

Dear Aunt Laurie
When | started to school [ was
afraid to go in.
My sisters went to school, but they
were in the seventh grade l had
nice teacher. When L came in the
room all the children stared at me,
and 1 felt like running. L didn't have
my books, so | couldn't do any work.
The teacher would say, Take out
your books"
1 would look for my books and
couldn't find them, and was so ner-
vous that l cried.
The teacher called for my sister to
come down and stay with me for a
while. 1t is not very pleasant to go
to school and have the children stare
at you. 1 had never been to school
before, so it was hard for me.
Boys and girls have come in my
room since and I pity them if they
have come from another school, for l
have had the experience. Your friend,

We played till the bell rang and went
in. l got a front seat and started to
work.
At recess we played for a while and
the boy introduced me to some more
boys. At noon l ate with the boy.
Of course, the school was different
and l had to learn everything in a
different order. | stayed after school
and played in the yard as they allow
it. We have two swings, one acting bar,
some rings and a ladder for the small
and larger boys. A maypole is pro-
vided for the boys and the girls both.
The boys get ii while and then the
girls. | soon learned the ways of the
school and made lots of friends.
About five new boys have come

RAIN DROP GREETs PILGRIMS

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Rain Drop lived happily with her
father, moving from place to place on
the great hunting grounds. Her father
was chief of the tribe. She cooked the
deer and fish and prepared the feasts
in which the warriors took part.
One night after all her tepee were
asleep she lighted torch and stole
away to the shore to rest. AS she
looked out over the ocean she saw what
looked to her like three great white
winged birds.
Then she heard someone call Land,
land
She blew out her torch and rushed
back and told her father that the gods
and angels had flown down from
heaven and they were out on the
water now"
Next morning the gods and angels
came ashore and kissed the ground
and set up a beautiful banner. Then
they made signs to her father that
they wished to trade with him. One,

LITTLE GERMAN GIRL VISITS

Dear Aunt Laurie:
One day little German girl came to
our school She was about IA years
old and wore her hair in two tiny
plaits down her back. She could not
speak enough English for us to under
stand her, so she spoke in German to
our teacher, who would tell us what
she said. We could not pronounce her
name, so We called her Gretchen. She
said that she had only been in our
country one month.
Whenever we had music she would
watch our lips as if she could tell what
we said. Sometimes we could get her
to sing some of the songs she knew.
We enjoyed the ryhthm, though we
could not understand the words.
She seemed to like our games, though
it took her a long time to learn them.
OF all the games we played Run, sheep,
rum" was her favorite. She taught US
to play a game something like tag"
She only stayed about one month at
our school because they moved away.

ARE MEAN TO NEW BOY

Dear Aunt Laurie:
A new boy came to our school last
week Some of the boys threw the
football at him. One boy hit him on
the head with the ball. This made
the newcomer angry. He held grudge
against that boy, for every time he
saw the boy he chased him till he
could run no more, or the boy was too
far off.
One day he caught the boy and
started to give him his punishment,
and would have given it to him good
and hard had it not been for his
brother.
The boys brother hit him SO hard
that he left the little boy alone after
that. The newcomer told the princi-
pal that the boys teased him, and he
warned them about teasing new
comers.
After the warning they disobeyed
and hit him on the head with the ball.
He reported that and the boys name
to the principal and the boy had to
stay five hours after school.

was buying a paper; he gave me to a
poor little boy who was glad to get me
because l was SO new and bright.
His poor mother took four other pen
nies and me to pay her carfare next
day, but instead of going into the in
teresting little nickel case in which he
put most of his money, the conductor
put me in his pocket.
He gave me to a man as change and
the man bought a paper with me. The

WINS FRIENDS WITH HER SMILE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Louise was a new girl at our school.
She was pretty and had a smile that
was very winning. When noon came
she waited to walk home with me.
She was not at all bashful; L could
see that at once. Whenever she
wanted you to do anything she asked
you with q winning smile.
One day aunty told me to hurry
home after school. When school was
out Louise waited for me and wanted
me to go to the candy store with her.
She smiled and asked it SO nicely, and
said it would not take very long to
go, that at last I went.
When she wanted to go any place
her mother did not want her to go
Louise would ask and coax until her
mother would let her go.
When winter came Louise was going
to move away. as her father wanted
to go to a larger city, and that was
the last saw of winning and charm
ing Louise. Your niece,

When I moved into the district Of

to school for about week. When I

the principal asked me my name and
age and where lived, and from what

all that she had asked me, she called
a boy into the office and told him to

FATHER, LONG ABSENT, RETURNS

Dear Aunt Lauries
We had some very interesting neigh
bors several years ago, while we were
in Colorado. They were a family of
four, a widow and three children. The
eldest, a girl of ten, and two brothers,
aged eight and five
The mother took in washing and
plain sewing. 1t made our hearts ache
to see the little sister take care of
the boys and help mother with the
housework. She would help with the
meals and hang out the wash and get
them ready for ironing.
Dorothy, for that was her name had
more sense and kenw how to work
more than many girl twice as old.
She could not work so much when
school began but I'm sure she dressed
the boys, got breakfast and then some
times if she had time she would Clean
some of the rooms.
At night, when she came home, she
put on her apron and worked until sne
went to bed. People never found out
anything about them for it seemed
as though they never had time to
talk. They never would beg nor take
anything from the charities.
One day there was a great buzzng
and talking in their house and the
neighbers were very curious. The
mother came over to all of the people
that night and told her glad tidings.
Her husband had worked for the
railroad and one day there was an ac-
cident. The newspapers all said that
not one person had been found as they
all had perished. By a miracle her
husband was saved although he lost
his. memory. A few days before he had
received shock and his memory was
restored.
How haoppy they all We're! In week
he had a good position and his wife
remained at home to attend to the
housework. The girl lost her grand
mother look and one never knew
that she could be so jolly and happy.

BOYS AND GIRLS STARE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Once there was a new scholar came
into our room. Some of the children
watched her and others made fun of
her. She did not pay any attention
to any one or anything they said but
I knew by her looks that she knew
they were making fun of her
She always did her own work and
when a new lesson was given out she
was the first to be through. This girl
always had a hundred-the highest
mark she could get.
If were a new scholar just COM
ing in from some far away land and
did not know any one, think / would
not like to have any one watch me.

NEWCOMERS ARE INITIATED

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Sometimes when boy comes to the
school from some other school the boys
often initiate him. There are different
ways in which they do it. Some take
off his shoes and throw them into the
street. Sometimes they take off his
cap and give him a Dutch rub" If
it is raining when a newcomer comes
they make him step in mud hole.
A boy who came from the northern
part of the state told me that he used
to have a paper route. He said:
"When l started to work for the
paper company the other boys initiated
me. They stuck mud down my back
and put dirt in my hair"
After all, l don't think it is very
polite to initiate newcomers. Yours

BABIES BRING JOY TO FAMILIES

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Last week my dear sister Leonis
and her husband came from Bakers
field, bringing with them a little son.
He is a fine baby, and we all love
him very much. The little newcomer
was the cause of giving US all new
titles. I myself became an aunt, my
little brother an uncle, my father and
mother grandpa and grandma, and
my grandma became great grand
mother.
We were all photographed in a
group, which represented four gener-
atoms.
l can't help thinking how wonderful
1t would seem to the little newcomer
when he is grown up man if he couid
get glimpse of this world during his
t-grandmother's younger days,
and with the wonderful inventions
that are bound to come, how impos-
sible they must appear to his great
grandmother, could she but see them.
We have many photographs of ba-
bies and it seems so funny, for one is
and then the little newcomer the
grandchild.
After going with them to the depot
upon their return journey we returned
home, but the house semed SO empty
without the baby, and We have all
seemed quite homesick for him.
We seem to hear his prattle. and
would be very happy if we could only
just hear him cry. Our dear little
baby boy Melvin. Your niece,
