The most interesting spot in South
Bend Is along the St. Joseph river.
The scenery in summer is so beau
tiful that one would think II was
fairyland.
Down by Leeper park there in the
middle OF the river is a cluster Of
trees When the flowers are in bloom
those trees make the river look very
pretty. Some sunny afternoon in
June just take walk down by the
river bank You will see wild
grape vines and all kinds OF flowers.
In the cluster Of trees that / was
spea king about the birds build their
nests and also along the river bank.
one dav last summer as / was tax
ing a walk down that way with
some OF my friends we were sur
prised 10 see a nest full OF little blue
birds They were so pretty that we
watched them for about an hour.
I advise you 20 take a walk along
the ST. Joseph river and be proud
that our own city is built upon it,

think the most interesting spot
in south Bend is the public library.
Whenever have to wait down
town for something (such as having
a watch fixed or bicycle repaired) 1
step into the library. I can take a
book or magazine and read or study
the pictures. No matter how many
books 1 read there Is always some
thing new. IN reading books. I be
come acquainted with the authors,
I become to know their life, because
most authors write something they
have seen or experienced in their
boyhood.
BY reading I began to know how
TO construct sentences and TO write
compositions. The public library
has books suitable for children. girls,
BOYS. mothers and fathers, each one
can enjoy a friendly talk with the
authors and still gain knowledge
because reading is the simplest
method OF gaining clear perception
OF truth and fact
This is why I think the library is
the best place to spend my time.
