They are going to nigh school-lots OF

to conquer their foreign accents and to gain
a knowledge of our language the more deter

Yo Fook, the Chinese boy, is one of the
best students. He has applied himself so
faithfully to his studies, indeed that he has
almost forgotten to pay attention to his speech,
and except in his recitations and the studies
which he has previously prepared, his English
is uncertain and halting.

Times Thev Love Best.

their recesses of play time, better than the
pranks which, in common with childhood the
world over, they love to play their teacher
and their payfellows, better than anything in
their home or school lie, they love the in
formal times when they all come together and
dance folk dances, have friendly rivalry in the
gymnasium, invent new games, and combine
different games from their home lands.
Often in the evening the whole family comes
with the child. The mothers, not quite as
Americanly- ambitious, sit and murmur softly
and the fathers encourage their sons in tugs
of war, in rope climbing, and in games. And
then baskets are opened on the long, narrow
tables, and goodies spread out, and they all
sit there together and eat-men nd women
whose homes and gods are far from here, little
children whose hopes and futures are centered
around the stars and strires-many strangers
from many lands.
And, ever and anon, child would touch
his mothers arm. "Speak English. Do" A

are making of these widely separated national

The schoolroom where he said this verse of
