An S-year-old pupil in the eighteenth
district school showed mentality
quite beyond her years in her draw
ing class not long ago.
The teacher read the children the
fable Of the hare and the tortoise and
then asked them to illustrate It,
Little Susan did her picture quickly
and easily and was the first to hand
one to the teacher. The teacher was
surprised to find nothing on the pa
per but long winding path and a
solitary tree.
Haven't you forgotten to finish
YOUR picture?" she asked of Susan.
No" said the youthful artist. THE
hare has just gone by and the tortoise
hasn't come along yet."-Milwaukee
