MARCH.

/ hope you viii always lake an IN
terest in the marching. Little Tommy,
a boy / have heard about, did not care
to march He was fat and would
rather sit still than run about
Tommy's mother had told the teach
er that he must take part in the march
ing or any exercises that might take
some Of the extra fat off his lazy bones.
SO the teacher tried her best to get
Tommy interested In marching. he
was a new boy In her class.
But one morning when Tommy had
missed a good many words In spelling
and had not had the right answer to
many of his arithmetic questions he
was a bit su1ky. Instead Of blaming
the mistakes on his own carelessness
he was vexed 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, Nov the class will
stand up, ready for the march," Tom
my planted his feet stubbornly on the
floor and settled back in his seat.
The teacher looked surprised when
Tommy did not rise with the others.
She said: "Tommy. please rise. You
know We are going to march now"
But Tommy growled, "I don't want
to march"
The little girl at the piano began
playing the march. The other children
stepped briskly around the room, and
when the last child passed Tommy's
desk the teacher was behind him She
whisked Tommy out of his seat and,
with her hands upon his shoulders,
pushed him into place and walked him
around the room with the rest of the
children.
At first Tommy was too taken back
to object, but when he found himself
being marched around the room against
his will he squir1ned and struggled 10
much that the rest Of the children
who had been trying to keep sober
burst out laughing.
Don't you think you could march by
yourselr nowr' whispered the teacher,
and Tommy murmured. "Yes."
With his eyes on the ground he
tramped briskly after the other chill
dren, and from that day to this the
teacher has had no trouble in getting
Tommy to join In the marching.
