Daddy Bedtime
~ The Little Boy
Who Didn't
Like Marching

Il r ARCHING "a enjoyed by the children in Jack and Evelyns school
fEa The teacher taught them all kinds of fancy marches, and OF days
IVA when the weather "a warme enough to allow them % march o n the
playground they sometimes had drills to which the parents were in
vited.
II should like to go to a school like that" daddy said a. Jack and Evelyn
told just how they did certain difficult psrso of a nw flag drill,
L hope You will always take a interest in the marching Little Tommy,
a boy have heard about, did not caet 20 march. He was fat and would
rather sit still than run about
"Iommys motherh had told the teacher that he must take part in the march
ing or any exercises that might take o of the extra fat off his lazy bones
so the teacher tried her best to get Tommy interested in marching. He
vas a new boy in her class.
But ont morning when Tommy had missed a good many words in spelling
and had lot had the right answer to many of his arithmetic questions he was
a bt. sulky. Instead of blaming the mistakes on his w carel@Sness he was
yexed with the teacher and crosS with the children who had done their WORK
right 1t was very silly Of Tommy.
And when the teacher threw up the windows and said, Now the class will
stand up ready for the march, Tommy planted his feet stubborny o the
floor and settled back in his seat.
The teacher looked surprised when Tommy did not rise with the others.
She said: Tommy, pleas. rise. You know we are going to march now.
But Tommy growled, 1 don't want to march
THE little girl at the piano began playing the march. The other children
stepped biskly around the room, and when the last child passed Ommys
desk the teacher was behind him. She whsked Tommy u of his eat and,
with her hands under his shoulders, pushed him into place and walked him
around ther room with the rest of the children.
AT first Tommy ws too taken back o object, hut when he found himself
being marched around the Don against his will he squirmed and struggled SO
much that the crest of the children who had been trying % keep sober bursto on
laughing.
" Don't you think you could march by yourself now? whispered the
teacher and Tommy muunured, Yes
"With his eyes OF the ground he tramped brskly after the other children,
and from that day to this the teacher has had II o trouble in getting Tommy to
Join in the marching"
