THE Selfish CHILD

One day Johns mother gave him
q saucer with some jelly In 1t.
She told him to call his sisters and
give them some. He went out but
did not call his sisters. He went
up in the hay loft to eat it.
When he came down he found
his sisters under a bush having q
doll party. They told him that
Mrs. Brown had had a party and
brought the remainings of the ice
cream, candy and cakes over to
them. john had learned a lesson.
He was never selfish any more

HAVE HALF HOLIDAY

Last Friday all the children down
at Finley school who weren't either
tardy or absent got out at recess.
They had been going to school for
six weeks without being tardy or
absent
In our room expect about twen-
ty-four got out, and only about
eight or ten were left. Every six
weeks the ones who do not have
any tardy or absent marks will get
out at recess, and Mrs. Gentle said
that If everybody would keep from
getting any tardy or absent marks
she either would give them holt
day or else take them out in the
woods some place. Everybody said
they were going to try.
When I got out, Paul Hamilton.
Ather Reg and I all went over to
horehound hill down by the old
poultry house and we built big
fire under an auto hood.
Then William Norris came and
some boy they called Frank and
they went up to the poultry house,
and they said they werm going to
see lot of spooky things up there.
That would be good place to go
for Halloween.-Gi Gilbert Snider, Fin

MIR. SLOANE WRITES
LETTER TO JUNIORS

Dear Aunt Mollie:--
May l write a letter to the boys
and girls Of Richmond?
Dear Friends: / often wonder as
60 about from school to school
listening to your sweet voices In
song, If you really know what
splendid advantages you have, as
students of music.
The books which you sing out OF
in your school are full Of beautiful
songs, well written and will help
you to be good readers Of music.
There in every building you have
pianos, victrolas and funny little
organise while l play sometimes.)
Many Of You who are in the 9th
and 9Th grades take lessons and
hope to be members of the Garfield
and High school orchestras, which
are just about the finest to be
found any place.
Now in Richmond we have other
kinds Of music too. There Is the
Community Sings" to be held
somewhere in Richmond" every
Tuesday evening. These sings are
for your papa, mamma, big sister,
brother, auntie, uncde and grandpa
and grandma. Now you can help.
by urging your folks to attend and
sing the dear songs OF long ago,
and also some new ones.
Then we are going to have the
opportunity of hearing some of the
finest musicians in the world this
winter.
First there will be the wonder
full Cincinnati Symphony orchestra,
which all of you orchestra students
should attend. If you hear it. you
will be able to play better In your
school orchestras. Then too for
the violin pupils, Efram Zimbalst,
one of the very greatest violinists
of the day, will play.
Last summer at Lakeside ! heard
Evan Williams, the great Welsh
tenor. He is a fine friendly man
and sings beautifully. He led the
audience in the Star Spangled
Banner before his program started.
Then there is Alma Gluck, Miss
Miller and Nero, who sing and
play the piano.
do hope that my Toys and girls
will hear at least some OF these
concerts. II you can't go to all
of them. pick out the one you are
most interested in and deny your
selves some candy, chewing gum
and picture shows, you will be vol
and be better little must
clans for hearing this great and
good music-Your friend and
teacher, r. G. Sloane.
