THE COURIER-
. IN THE SCHOOL BOOM.
BY MARTHA PIERCE.
ThoM who find time and opportunity
to observe children will tell you there is
to be found in their quaint conceits,
carioue logic and fanny phrasicgs, a
never failing source of amusement and
of tea a wisdom that astonishes. They
hare indeed wandered far who fail to
appreciate and And refreshment in these
gUspses into that enchanted land, whose
gates have awuag shut behind them and
to which they have lost the open sesame
A school teacher of sympathy and in
Testigatiag tendencies comes as near,
perhaps, to the universal child heart as
any of the fortunate, and many are the
tales such could unfold, when reminia
cent. Recently these have been vouched
for by various members of the teaching
fraternity Host of us are sufficiently
retentive of oae childish characteristic
to like them better because they are
"tree stories." The inevitable blun
ders of the growing mind as it gropes its
way toward truth, frequently create op
portunity for the exercise of self control
oa the part of the teacher.
A small boy painfully struggling with
a "copy" written on the blackboard by
the teacher, asked suddenly, "Miss A.
is that mark after "horse" a comic or a
period?"
Here is a paper which resulted from a
recent test in an important branch of
learning:
"Mustication is framework and skele
ton. "The five organs of digestion are the
mouth, nose, ears, arms and legs.
"The thoracic duct is a little bone
that grows in yourthroat."
The teacher was delighted to discover
that these astonishing factB had escaped
the rest of the class.
Oae day a girl, who, it must be ad
mitted, is not physically beautiful,
cemp'ained tearfully that a girl had
caUed names. "She is a big girl, ahe
amid, "and I guess she's a nice girl, but '
she calls me grandmother every time
she sees me."
Our small philosopher, aged eight,
looked at the tearful maid and the sym
pathetic teacher.
"If we had all been made to look alike,"
he remarked, they couldn't call any
body names, could they?"
, It was in a primary school. They
were haying a 1 seon on ivory. The
children had delighted themselves nam
ing almost every conceivable thing ever
made of ivory. "I can think of

Prior to Thanksgiving day, in a cer

among other interesting things. "Our

gleefully, 'cause I keep mock

Albert was trying to araw a box. He
struggled manfully, but -it continued a
very crooked box. The teacher looked
at it critically. "I know I can't draw,'
he burst out. "Seems like I just can't.

A boy caught him and carried him out

In less than five minutes the dog
made his appearance again and the
children smiled. Another boy sprang
to the rescue and carried him out.
The teacher reflected that as soon as
the recitation was finished she would
