AS Some Pupils Learn

A despairing teacher in a public school
has brought TO our attention the work of
some forty boys of the eighth grade who
were asked to tell in their own words the
substance of Goldsniths Deserted vii
lage' and Burns "a Mans a Man for a.
That" The following samples are fairly
typical;
Is there man who hangs his head as he
along gest because he is poor and does not
have fine clothes. If we see a slave who is
coward just because he is poor we pass
him by, we dare to be very poor and be
cause we are poor we need not be afraid
IL We work hard and are honest What of
IL II eat poor food and we wear gay cloths
let that be as il is LET the rich have fine
goods and drink all the wined they want
To he honest even through is what will
make you king of men
See that man over there who walk as
through he owned the world he is but a
| lord and yet their our many who does his
bidding as through he was a king but he
is nothing more than an honest man,
1t is not good TO live where rlchs accu-
mulates and men fan In rank. 1t is place
like these where Princes and Lords become
rich or poor a word from King or Queen
can make him prince or a Lord as often
/ Il has been done but a brave and bold
peasants are the ones that make a country
but II once destroyed can never be built
and supplied like before.
/ There was a time before the sorrows and
| griefs began and when everybody was
happy and contented where everybody had
an ample supply and no more there a
riches were poor
While 1 was wandering around I meet
with grief | always had hope that before
candle within me when out that l would be

where many a happy an hour was spent

How Did You Die?

Did you tackle that trouble that came
your way
with resolute heart and cheerful?
Or hide your face from the light of day
With a craven soul and fearful?
Oh, a troubles ton, or troubles an
ounce
And it isn't the fact that you're hurt that
counts.
But only how did you take it?
You are beaten to earth? Well, well,
what's that?
Come up with a smiling face,
It's nothing against you to fall down flat,
But to lie there-thats disgrace.
The harder you're thrown, why the higher
you bounce
Be proud of you're blackened eye
II isn't. the fact that you're licked that
counts,
It's how did you Highland why?
And though you be done to the death,
what then?
II you battled the best you could
II you played your part in the world of
men
Why, the Critic will call il good.
Death comes with a crawl, or comes with
a pounce
And whether he's slow or spry,
1t isn't the fact that you're dead that
counts,
But only, how did you die?

The Losers

As you're GROWING with laurel the winner,
When the race and the shouting are done,
Give cheer for the man who so pluckily
ran
The fellow who almost won.
True, he lost, but he made in his losing,
The battle, the game, and the race
So never forget that we owe him debt
The contender who quickened the pace.
Would Shakespeare have sat with the
mighty,
II the poet who struggled before.
Had not first paved the way with the
poem or play,
That taught seer Shakespeare to soar?
For genius, though great, ever bOrrows,
And a fame that forever may last
Has its birth I'm the signs and the sorrows
OF the dreamer who failed IN the past.
So, the wizards Of wealth and of science,
Who strut in the paths of the wise,
Have but followed the plot of genius
forgot
Who faltered in sight of the prize.
Then here's to the legends of losers,
Whose names on no tablets you'll find.
A toast to them then, yes, cheer for the
men,
The strugglers who finished behind.
