read, wrote, drew pictures, told
stories, and played games in the
park.-Lupe GARLIC, Opp. room.
We had some visitors in our room
Tuesday. Some of Miss McEl-
vany'S children came to see us.
They told lis many poems. They
drew good pictures. One boy drew
a big piece of watermelon, 1t
made us hungry. We liked our Wis

they were here.-2-B, la.

LINCOLN SCHOOL
I have a black and white dog.
His name is Jiggs. When I call
him, 1 say, there Jiggs.' He does
not like the name Jiggs so he bites
my legs. I don't like for my legs
to be bit, so now call him ''Spot. 4"

Dear Aunt Bull Dos:
I followed my mistress to school
last Tucsdav because 1 thought I'd
have fun. When I got there they
were all taking tests, whatever they
are, so they tieo !ne down to the
fire escape. I STATED to bark and
I barked till my throat was sore.
Nobody paid any attention to me
so 1 gave up tn9t idea. Then I
began to think and try to figure
out what test vas and this is
what 1 figured OIL. A test is lot
of work that is hard and very dis
gusting.
Write soon and tell if that's
right.
Love,
