With the goal 50 near the hands of the clock seem to hardly move at all and minds which should be concentrated on lessons, wander away to thoughts of swimmin' pools or "playing house" or some other | equally fascinating pastime far re- moved from such dismal places as schools, The average primary school pupil, and even some pupils in the collegi- ate Institute, find it very difficult to get the viewpoint that when school closes they will be missing much valuable instruction: Paradise, to most small boys and girls, is a place where they don't have to go fo school. Teachers are ogres who have no greater joy in life than swooping down upon some well-behaved imno- cent little boy for "doin' nothin' at all" and punishing him with the ut- most severity. They don't ask wagés they are glad to get the position Just £0 they can "pick on the kids." When the children grow up some of them become teachers and others enter various walks of life. What- ever they do, they find that they never spent happier or more care- free days than at school, Therefore the moral of this tale is--be just as happy as you can boys and girls; abuse your teachers and parents and everyone else who is trying' to do something for you because there is a day coming when it will be your turn to take the abuse instead of giving it. When you are released from bond- age on Friday, shout and yell and act like young cannibals. It only happens once a year and 1f you have worked ' faithfdlly during the term you deserve the holidays. We only wish that newspapers followed the good example set by schools and closed up during the summer; There is an irrevocable Taw however that one can't exist unless one eats, and food costs money, and most people have to work to get that money, so we will bave to keep on working.
