Our Children By Angelo Patri

You know how to spell saw and was.
but yop haven't taken the trouble
Can I help it if ! get little words
like that mixed up? The sehse of the
composition is all right. Why didn't
she read that and never mind such lit
tie mistakes. No. It's just cause she
has g:udge on me-
rs it? Why did YOU tell that Co
lumbus died before YOU told of his
life? Why didn't YOU tell about his
voyages in order instead Of a little
about the first and then a little about
the third. then the first again and
then the fourth. It's Il mess. And the
spelling is as bad as spelling can be
You would better write one page and
do good job than six like this
'Aw. I had to hurry. The bell was
going to ring
1T rang at the same time for every
body. I'll stop in and see the teacher
and ask her what we can 10 to help
YOU in this work. but l would not
think of taking YOU out of a classroom
where the teacher was trying hard to
teach YOU something YOU very much
needed to know"
Try something like that the next
time.
