1--WE got the funniest story" began
Louise Klein Miller, with her infec-
tious laugh. Miss Miller. IL you don't
happen to know, is human dynamo in
the promotion of school and backyard
gardens, besides being curator for
Cleveland's schools. If Miss Mfller's
plans for identifying Cleveland are
ever carried out, all the other small-fry
towns in the country, such as New
York, Chicago, St. Louis, Boston, etc.,
viii be coming to the sixth city for
lessons.
But let's get to that funny story. We
urged Miss Miller to tell it, We were
pining to hear funny story. We had
been hearing SO much about the high
cost of living and the long, hard win
ter, and woman's suffrage, that funny
story promised a blessed relief. So we
begged Miss Miller to get it out of her
system.
well, then, here it is" quoth the
plump lady.
"Out at the Normal school they have
what is called the Observation school,
where the embryo teachers practice on
the pupils, as it were. One of the prac-
tees is to tell the pupils story and
then have the pupils dramatize the
story.
THE story the other day was about
the making of the first American flag.
And here is one of the dramatizations. y
We repeat it as Miss Miller told it,
leaving the reader to supply the gig
giles:
THE DRAMA.
zone day George Washington said to
a soldier, Amt it awful we amt got
no American flag%
"'Ain't it awful said the soldier tc
George Washington.
After a while another soldier came
up to George Washington and said
Amt it awful, George, that We aim
got no f1ag?
"'Ain't it?' said George Washington
Then George Washington went tt
Betsy Ross.
Betsy said George Washington
Amt it awful that we amt got NJ
American fiag?'
"'Well, you just hold the baby {
while and I'll make one for you,' saiC
Betsy Ross"
Waving aside any comments upoI
the merits of this young drama, though
it's better than some we've sat out be
cause we didn't want to hurt the feel
ings Of the person who gave us tn,
pass" doesn't it go to show the mod
ern young idea is sprouting regarding
the resourcefulness of woman as com
pared with the helplessness of man
(There you go again! But we told yol
we were full of suffrage).
SHE SURPRISED HIM.
SAY" said the elderly man with tn
