Dear French Friends:
Even If you do live in far away
France, that fact will not keep us
from being friends, will it? You
know distance is no barrier TO
friendship. We hope that by writ.
ing we will soon be great friends.
Would you like to know a little
about Richmond and the country
we live in? Richmond is city Of
about thirty thousand inhabitants.
Our state and city are only a little
over one hundred years old. We
live on the edge of great prairie.
This prairie is in the hear of the
corn belt. 1t has very fertile soil
The land around us is very rolling.
We have a small stream flowing
through Richmond which is called
the Whitewater river. 1t has dug
a gorge which Is one hundred feet
deep. The water of this river fin
ally reaches the Mississippi river.
The Mississippi is the largest river
in our country. Before the white
people came to this country the
Indians called 1t the Father of
Waters"
In Richmond there are eleven
public schools. We go to Starr
school 1t is the largest graded
school in the city. We have the
platoon system. One-half the time
We spend with our regular teach
ers who teach us arithmetic, geo
graphy, English, reading and spell
ing. The other half we go to spe-
cial teachers who teach us litera-
ture, music, drawing, penmanship
and gymnastics. Once a week we
have cooking and manual training.
We are thirty-nine children from
nine to thirteen years old. We are
all helping to write this letter A
committee takes down our sugges-
tons and gets it into shape.
Will Have Swimming Pool.
Richmond has a beautiful park
called Glen Miller 1t is known all
over the state for it's natural
beauty 1t has play ground made
up of swings, giant strides, see
saws, slides and various other
things. 1t also has small zoo.
They are making the lake of the
park into a swimming pool which
will have a concrete bottom.
We have a college called Earl
ham. 1t has about five hundred
students. Earlham Is a Quaker

My Play1nates

For mother yesterday.
| took pair of little shears
To cut the stems away.

AS | began to cut them,
A thousand fingers small
Reached out and caught my play
dress,
Q'm not so very tall,
Just three feet, eight, my mother
says
And those wee finger stems
Tugged at my dress and seemed to
say:
We're very glad you came.
Now that you're here. oh, please
do stay,
We're fond of having fun:
We wish you'd stay right here and
play,
Well shade you from the sun"
So after | had picked a bunch
OF lovely rambler roses.

A fluttering round those roses.
Ny brother says those fingers
small
Are tiny little thOrns,
And that | must take care or they
Will scratch my face and arms.
But | like best to think of them
AS rosebud children gay,
Who hold out teasing fingers
And beg of me to play.

In the pioneer days of Indiana
there were many animals such as

we have such birds as the wren,

Most of the birds stay with us dur

cold weather comes they go south
to spend the winter.
