Eight Pairs Prove a Source of Worry
to Teachers.

to Teachers.
Omaha, Neb. - Whether Jimmy is
Jimmy or his brother Johnny and
Johnny really Johnny or just Jimmy
is the question that constantly con-
fronts teachers at the Webster school.
Eight pairs Of twins in the school are
the cause of the complexity Of the sit
uation.
Three pairs are boys, three girls and
two fifty fifty"
In Miss Erline Jeskallek's third
grade class are three pairs-Newell
and Donald Davis, Lucille and Lillian
POulsOn and Walter and Wade White
In each case the twins are as much
alike as peas in pod.
In confidence it is whispered that
the twins have changed seats in their
classrooms without any one being q
bit the wiser excepting themselves
The seating arrangement, Miss Jeskal-
lex admits, is the only means by which
she can tell one of a pair from the
other.
