The "a for a dime” picture man
was here last Friday. He made indi
vidual pictures of all the children and
teachers taken by grades. As a whole j
they were very good and clear. Since
then all one has been able to hear
are such expressions as, “Oh, its just
like you,” “Isn't it the cutest thing
you ever saiw?” "I’ll swap you
one of mine for one of yours,”
“Please give me one of your pic
tures,” “Teacher, make him give me
my picture of ” It has been
hard for the teachers to hold atten
tion of the pupils for they are so
“wrapped up” in the pictures. Some
of thq teachers have had to threaten
to take up and keep all pictures seen
during classes and others have had
to give demerits to get them out of
sight.

NO OCCUPATION
(Frances Seay)
(Taken from Occupational Guidance)
She rises up at break of day
And thru her task he races;
She cooks the meal as best she may
And scrubs the children’s faces.
While school books, luncheons, rib
bons, too,
All have considerations,
And yet the census man insists
She has "No Occupation.”
When breakfast dishes are done,
She bakes a pudding, maybe;
She closes the room up one by one,
With one eye watching baby;
The mending pile Bhe then attacks
By way of variation
And yet the census man insists
She has “No Occupation.”
She irons some for a little while;
Then presses pants for daddy)'
She welcomes with a cherry smile
Returning lass and laddie,
A hearty dinner then she cooks
By way of recreation,
And yet the census man insists
Bhe has "No Occupation.”
For lessons that the children loam,
The evenings scarce are ample;
To mother dear they always turn
For the help with each example;
In grammar or geography
She finds her relaxation
And yet the census man insists
She has “No Occupation.”
