THE STORY OF HORATIUS
 Told By Barker Girl

The Fathers were all sitting down and thinking what to do. Another army was coming to fight Rome. There was a great wall around Rome. There was a bridge and the army was coming over it to destroy it. Tho fathers could hear the bugles of the enemy's army.
 They could not get anyone to hold the army out of the gates. There was a man nearby who heard what they said. It was Horatius. He told the Fathers that he would keep the army out of the gates if they would knock down the bridge. Then two other brave men came. One said he would stay on the right hand of Horatius and the other one said he would stay on the left hand of Horatius.
 The army came The door was large enough for only three to fight. Three men from the army came mp. but they fell dead. The Fathers behind were tearing down the bridge. Three more came forward to meet Horatius and his men. but they were killed too. And then one of the bravest men came for ward. but he met the same fate.
 Some loud cries were heard behind. "To Arms! To Arms" And the army flew just as it heard these cries. The two men that helped Horatius went back over the bridge, just as it was falling down. Horatius was left on the other bank of the river. where the army was. He fell into the river and swan across. When he get on the other bank. every bod; WAS kissing him. And the Fathers gave him home and grain and all the land he could blow in one day. Rome was saved by Horatius.

LILLIAN THANKSGIVING
 CELEBRATION

Dear Childrpn's Editor: We had a Thanksgiving play in the senior seventh grade room at T1lman school. There were tableaux and an acroS,ic which spelled the word 'Thank>siving." 1 was the letter H.
 We fixed a pretty little box to take our money in for the Community Chest.
 The ones in the .acrostic said the Hundredth Psalm and sang several Thanksgiving songs. The teacher drew many secenes on the board of Indians and Pilgrims.
 The motto of our room is "politcness is to do and say the kindest thing in the kindest way"
 We sent little invitations to the parents to come to our celebration. On the turkeyshaped invitations was this verse: Thanksgiving Day is drawing near and we would like To have you here; Come one. come all. come old, come young, and you shall help LIS have, some fun" Sincerely.

THE NECESSITY OF SCHOOLS

Why are schools necessary? Schools gre necessary to teach us what we should know. By going to school q per son can become a good citizen. The per son that is educated is nearly always 3 patriotic one.
 Schools teach us to be honest, kind, charitable and thoughtful towards others. Don't you think anyone with these traits would prove himself a good citizen, worthy to live in such glori- GUS country as the United States?

Don't raise so much racket" said a woman to her son whose figure was short and muscular. The boy was hit ting a wide board on the edge of fence, trying to split it. This was not the proper way to do it. The hitting of the board made loud, sudden noise. The boy kept it up until his mother said: Truly, he is the noisest boy on the whole block. He is always up to something and if he does not remain quiet, shall punish him."

If you are a grocer don't raise the price of coffee, because the public thinks it is proper for it to remain at one dollar. A woman always is your friend. Truly the whole community will attend your store, if you station the price of coffee at one dollar. l figure that if your price of coffee always appears at one dollar, unless sudden trouble arises, it will lead to di- rect success. As member of the board of directors of the Birmingham market association. 1 advise you to keep your price of coffee at one dollar.

A Speliing Lesson Stsry

Once there were some children who were going on the train by themselves. They went down to the station to get the tickets. In three minutes they were whirling away. Trees and tele- phone poles were flying past. The children had been riding along in the light for some time when, all of sud- den. they were in a tunnel. At the small stations the train would remain only a few minutes. Between tbe short stops the children would attempt to get q drink of water. When the train was going it would jar them and they would spill the water.
 The little boy had a dollar to spend and he bought everything imaginable. When the train passed through one city the people were having q public picnic. The children were met at their destination by their grandparents. The children had good time that morning for they met one of their mothers friends. The little boy made a board swing and they had good time on that. Bobby (that was the little boys name) wanted to help raise the corn but his grandfather always said that he would have to wait until he was grown to help him work the crops.
 The next day was Sunday, SO the children were going to attend Sunday school. Grandmother told Bobby as he left, Don't lose your handkerchief |" But of course he lost it. He told his grandmother he truly did not mean to do it The cid woman who lived

THE NECESSITY OF SCHOOLS

SrhoOls are necessary to both old and ung. By attending school every edu- ,ared person can serve his or her coun- ,ry better. Our schools teach us to be- rome better patriotic vitizens.
 Schools teach us to be charitable, kind, courteous and loving toward our fellow men. Do you not think schools are worthwhile?

THE PICTURE CT JOAN OF ARC

This picture was painted by a Frenchman. Bastein Lepage. In the picture you see Joan. a plain country girl. not pretty. but with an expression of love. faith and courage.
 In the background you can see very faintly her vision of Saint Michael, clad in armor, and her saints, who are speaking to her. The artist is trying to express Joan's feeling and her vision at the same time.

 Between Dress and Citizenship

and Citizenship There is closer relation between dress and citizenship than one might think at first. Good citizens are al ways neat and in style. A person who is unclean and shabby shows his spirit, of citizenship immediately. This does not mean to go beyond your means and be extravagent in dress. But it does mean to keep your clothes neat Gnd in shape. If everyone will follow this rule. he will be on the road to good citizenship.

 ELLEN CLANTON Junior Eighth, Barker.
 The relation between dress and cit izenship is very important. People who dress in the style of the Eighteenth century are only the laugh ct the streets. We are not here to keep the things going all the time. We must be progressive We can dress i'll mod ern style as cheaply and economically as in old-fashioned style. because the clothes of long ago took so much more cloth.
 People who dress lip the style of long ago are not keeping up the citizen ship idea of today but are trying tt keep the world at standstiil. Let the world progress.
 GLADYS SHEPHERD Junior Eighth, Barker.
 Supnose everyone in our city wore clothes that were out of style and had, old-fishioned ideas. When people from other cities come here on visit or to live. they would not want to stay long. because they NttHu idNhVl Aiht in n modern city. If everyone should dress in clothes that were out of style. we would keep our city from being progressive.
 If il man wore old-fashioned clothes or nntidy clothes, he would have hard time getting along in life. because when he applies for q job. he Is turned down. The man. to whom he was ap- plying for a job, would think if lie did not dress in style he would have old-fashioned ideas and would know nothing of modern movements. The first way to make a success is. to dress we'll and be thrifty.
 WILLIAM WATKINS Junior Eighth, Barker~
 If person should wear an old style dress today, she would not progress. i've. If a person is not progressive in the government of today. he would not be of much use in making laws and helping our government. If woman should come out today in hoOpskirt, people would laugh at her because 1t is out of style If she did not keep up with the style. she wuold mot keep up with the government and laws.

This beautiful picture was painted by Lepage. His object in painting it was to show the character of Joan in a picture. He therefore made her the outstanding figure. The expression on Jsan's face indicates that she is very tired, but is thinking deeply.
 YOu can tell by her clothes that she is a peasant girl. Joan is having a vision and in the background this is shown. She sees Saint Michael clad in armor ready to lead the French army to victory. Two other saints. Margaret and Catherine, are beside him.
