Mrs. Ouack.

Peter Rabbit was overjoyed to see
Mr.. and Mrs. Quack tho Mallard
Ducks. He had seen them on their
way to the Far North in the early
spring, and many times he had won
dered about them and if he ever would
see them again. Now here they were,
with their six children, in the pond
of Paddy the Beaver, and how good
it was to see them again!
Mr.. Quack was as handsome as
ever with his green head and white
collar. Mrs. Quack wore her usually
modest brown suit. Both seemed as
glad to see Peter as he was to see
them.
"Have you had pleasant journey 2"
asked Peter.
We've had a terrible Journey" re.
piled Mrs. Quack. "It seems to me
IL gets worse each year. 1t is mercy
any of us are alive. 1t has been bang,
bang, bang, bang by terrible guns
ever since we started, and how we
all escaped l don't know"
'I lost two feathers from one wing
from shot from one of those terrible
guns" spoke up one Of the young
Quacks.
And nave a sore side where
was HIT" added another.
Lets not talk about it now, my
dears," said Mrs. Quack, hastily. II,

what we have been through and what
we have yet to 60 through. This is
the first place in days where we have
felt that we could rest in peace, so
we must make the most of it,"
aren't you little early this fall %
asked Paddy the Beaver. seeking to
change the subject.
"Yes, we are a bit early" replied
Mrs. Quack. "Jack Frost has already
started down from the Far North and
everybody says the winter will be
long and hard and cold. That is why va
have hurried. We must get down tc
the Sunny South before it gets too
cold for comfort"
Paddy looked at Peter and his eyes
twinkled. "What did tell you about
the winter" said he. Didn't l tell
you that it will be long and hard
and cold?"
"That is what everybody in the
Far North says" spoke up Mr.. Quack.

As result of Mayor Hylan's fail
ure to keep his campaign promise to
provide q seat for every child, there
are only nineteen children out Of tho
entire 3,4S9 who are receiving a reg
ular full education.
The congestion in this school has
caused the authorities to place 2,8l7
pupils on the makeshift double ses-
sion system, and 5l3 others on strict
part-time instruction. There are ninety
children in the kindergarten.
The condition existing in P. S. 50 Is
virtually general in the Bronx, and in
nearly all of the schools throughout
the city. It is due to the increase in
registration and tho fact that Mayor
Hylan only provided 18,951 new seats
during his administration, as compared
with the 46,100 new seats furnished by
his predecessor during the same period
of Office.
P. S. 40, in tho Bronx, at 1885 Pros
pect Avenue, is another school that
severely feels the effect Of the Hylan
administrators indifference. This
school, which has fifty-one classrooms,
has q registration of 4,019 pupils.
