A popular member of a certain
school board tells a good story of a
certain schoolboy who enjoys the
unique distinction of having attended
one school for IL years without being
once absent or late. In evidence of
this, the youth is the proud owner of
II medals. When the eleventh medal
was conferred the boys mother was
asked whether her son ever had any
illness.
"Oh, yes" she replied.
"Measles?"
Yes"
"Whooping cough?"
Yes"
How is it, then, that he has been
able to make so remarkable a record
at SCHOOL,"

his holidays" was the proud mothers
