down arid ducked every fellow that
shouted school butter.

the children were cautioned not to
go until they learned how to swim,

of corn has disappeared.

who studied arithmetic that they
could sit out doors. So nearly all
the boys bought a Sanford arith¬
metic. After several weeks some
one asked some of us how we were
getting along in mathematics and
he was told that the most of us
