hair. gray eyes, and am quite fat.

tons "a am not Interested In school

(1) Ny dear child, no one can study
for you or DO your work. in the way
of Improving the individual self. The
thing for you to do 10 to realize this,
and also that there IL only one time
to do this most important work of get
ting an education and that is right now.
while you have the opportunity to go
to school. few more years and your
time for study will be over. Each year
thereafter will be one of regret If you
fail to take advantage of it. If you
fully realize this Ii will be sufficient
incentive for you to become interested.
Look about you and you will see those
who have failed to take advantage of
their opportunity to study. Compare
them with those who have made the |
most of their opportunities and you
will be convinced 1 am sure that now |
is the time to be interested. CD Sup
pose you DO not like the step your
mother 10 about to take. Do you think |
you can run" to \ condition, place or
person who IL exactly to your liking?
Better take n chance and try to like
him. and make him like you. before
you run away" into perhaps n very
much worss condition. Running away
tached to II than you have any idea of.
Stay at home and have only the ides
In mind Of trying to please, and being
pleased; then Il IT doesn't work out.
there Is still time to think of something
else. Two questions is the limit. dearfe.
but by eliminating all thought of your
third yos will take more interest In
your stn4iss.

Try and says there are several mere

we wandered to the village, Tom.
I've sat beneath the tree
Jpon the schoolhouse playground
That sheltered you and me.
But none were left to greet me, TEN,
And few were left to know
Who played with us upon the green
There forty years ago.
he grass was Just as green, dear Tom.
Barefooted boys at play
We're sporting just as we did then
with spirits Just gay.

Which coated DER with snow
rered US a sliding place
There forty years ago.
