Day and the shamrock are dear to
their hearts.
Very little is known about st.
Patrick himself. We do not know
whether March II Is the date of his
birth or death or either. st. Pat
rick was born In Glastonbury, Eng
land, about 1856 A. D. When he was
16, pirates captured him and took
him to North Ireland.
There he rose to fame as an evan
gelist and became a bishop. He
founded hundreds of churches and
schools and colonies in which he
converted pagans to Christianity.
One legend is that he had a
drummer boy who announced his
presence with drum beats every
where the saint went. On one oc-
casion, the drummer broke the
drum head and the people thought
st. Patrick had lost his power. An
angel came down, it is said, and
mended the drum. Then the people
were satisfied and thought st. Pat
rick had regained his power.
There is also the story that the
shamrock is used for st. Patrick's
Day because the saint, in preaching
the doctrine of the trinity, used this
plant with three leaves on one stem
as a symbol. Another legend, the
best known Of all, gives st. Patrick
credit for driving the snakes and
termin from Ireland.

lust Between Ourselves
By PHILIP H, LOVE,
Junior Asr Aastor.s

Usually, this column is devoted to
the activities Of boys and girls, but
Just this once its subject is going to
be an adult. Harry Baker, jr., is the
name and he Is principal Of Langley
Junior High School. Sz
I am not acquainted personally
with MI. Baker. yet I am convinced
that he is q man of rare intellgence.
That conviction was born ofs i story
that appeared recently in the news
columns of The Star telling how Mr..
Baker had effected what was de-
scribed as q small revolution in the
school system"
Mr.. Bakers revolution" the story
went on to explain, consisted of en-
couraging students to draw carica-
lures Of himself, of the principals OF
II other junior high schools and Of
two assistant superintendents of
schools"

funny pictures Of other people will

pupil who scribbled a picture of

q corner or given q taste Of the birch
rod" I, for one, have had my full
share Of "tannings" for daring to
draw uncomplimentary pictures Of
my teachers.
The trouble was that the teach
ers did not understand the intent
Of the sketches. They thought they
were being ridiculed-which, in at
least nine instances out Of every
ten. was not the case. Boys and
girls with artistic talent draw for
no other purpose than to-well, to
draw. They love to draw, and they
will try their hand ut sketching
anything that will stay in one po-
sition long enough to serve as q
model. In q classroom the teacher
serves this purpose better than
any one else-hence. it Is nearly
always the teacher who Is drawn.
# the resulting picture is . comic,
it Is not because the young artist
means to poke fun at the teacher;
it's just that his artistic talent has
not developed to the point where
he can do any better. Either that or
else he's q .natural-born comic
artist, In which case everything he
tries to draw Is likely to turn out
funnier than it really is. But
that isn't due to any malicious
ness on his part; it's just that, a.
