sitting in the rocker at one side of the

happy, too, for was not her beloved

brighter than ever. He looked across

was now as he had always loved to
think of it-as it used to be. He was

centage Of the pupils are of Italian
parentage, the teachers were startled
one day by the descent Of a delegation
Of Infatuated mothers, all gesticulating
wildly and pouring forth foods of ex-
cited Italian. One of the older pupils,
having been sent for to act as inter-
prefer, reported that their cause of
complaint was that their children had
been ridiculed and made fun Of by
teachers and pupils.
I'm what possible way?' demanded
the astounded teacher.
