EXPLAINING LACK OF DETAIL
for Leaving Out Characters in
Her Illustration.

A primary class in one Of the grade
schools was asked to illustrate q
story that had been read to the little
ones by the teacher. The story told
of three children going to wood in
a goat wagon and staying until the
sun went down. Most of the pictures
showed the goat with big horns pulling
the wagon containing the children,
and Il sun going down behind hill.
One of the small girls in the class
handed in picture showing merely
q hill and some grass.
"Why, what does your picture
mean?" inquired the teacher. "Where
are the goat and the childrenY
"They have all gone home" replied
Opal.
