vAslLA PROVES THAT GIRLS ARE
AHEAD OF BOYS.

Are girls Of IL years ahead of boys
Of IL, or are boys of II years ahead
of girls Of IL?
I think girls are ahead Of boys. In
studies some of the girls are ahead
of boys and boys are sometimes ahead
of girls. But girls can help their
mothers like washing dishes, sweep
ing and helping her cook while boys
can only get wood, coal, and water for
mother
The boys sell newspapers to get
nickles and dimes and some times
give the girls nickle or dime. I
think they should as the girls mend,
sew buttons, and darn for the boys
besides clean up after them. The
girls can go shopping for mother and
pick good, embroideries, silk and
many other things to suit mother.
For one reason think the girls are
ahead, they write more, and interest
ing letters and stories to the Courier
Junior and also in the fun column,
while the boys do not The girls can
take care OF the younger ones while
mother goes shopping, while the boys
would love to be out running and
playing. The girls learn to sew, cook,
darn stockings. and clean up the house
for mother. They can also iron and

THE INDIANS.

Dear Juniors:
I will write and tell you about the
Indians. One day an Indian chief stop
ped at our place begging and grand
mother gave him loaf Of bread. They
carry recommendation from the
school where they had been after their
children to bring them home for vaca-
ton. The Indian school Is down at
Rapid City, S. D. The old chief that
was here was one Of the chiefs Of the
Sioux tribe. He was going up to the
Crow reservation for his wife who be-
longed to the Crow tribe. The Indians
always shake hands with one when
they come and when they go and they
say How for How do you do" They
pass grandma's place twice year.
when they bring their children home
for vacation in June and when they
pass again they take them back to
school the 28th Of August.
Did you Junior children ever hear an
Indian give war whoop? have and
saw them give war dance. There
we're three Indian boys run away from
school and when they found them they
asked them what they run away for
and they said: I'VE don't want to
work; the squaws do the work.
Perhaps you Juniors do not know
that the men do the hunting and the
saua~n, do the work. The Indians call
their children pappooses. The Indians
wear their hair in two braids down
