My Teacher.

Dear Listener-Here is a rhymed expression of one workingman's opinions of his son's teacher and the son's also. As it happens, she is a Bridgewater gradu

ate:

My teacher isn't old, nor she
Ain't ugly, like my father's used to be;
She's got a great big pompadour
With crinkly waves. No small hair store
Can make that kind-a rainy day
Has never taken the fluff away.
Her eyes are bright and smiley, too,
Most generally-tho they see right thru
Any meanness you're tryin' to do.

And how you feel-for they don't look

mad,

But sort of frozen up and sad.

When she laughs, her teeth's so white!
(I use my toothbrush every night
And morning, too, for she says she
Likes us all to be clean's kin be,
And washings, outside and in, prevent
The sickness that makes us absernt).
She's different from some, she doesn't wear
The same old dress 's if she didn't care.
My auntie says 't uster be the rule

That any old thing's good enuf for school
When she was young. But she hasn't seen
My teacher-she's like a queen

In her clean white waist and short green
skirt,

That never hangs down behind in the dirt,
Nor hunches up in front like some,

But always looks 's if company 'd come
Most any time.

It's not only cloes

But the lot of interestin' things she knows
That makes her not like them father had
When he went to school a little lad.
All kinds of birds and where they build-
With what kind of stones the brook is
filled-

The queer ways the Spaniards have to
farm-

And how the different bones of our arm
Are joined together. "Books are full
Of things like these," she says. Dull
And dead and dry, I always thot,
But now I go to the lib'ry an awful lot.
Pa told ma, some criticise and say
They don't teach 'rithmetic the same old

way.

But he says he never did see

Clear thru p'centage quick as me,
And he guesses the ones who make the fuss
Haven't any children, happy like us,
And if the taxes are big, he'd vote today
To raise the new kind of teacher's pay.

The University of Chicago

TO THE TEXAS TEACHERS:

CHICAGO, ILL., April 11, 1907.

Mr. J. S. Abbott, Dallas, Texas, is hereby appointed Texas Secretary of the Texas Club of the U. of C. to succeed Mr. W. E. Darden, resigned. It will be Mr. Abbott's duty to secure rates and arrange for the Texas teachers who will attend the U. of C. this Summer to come in a body, thus not only securing a rate for this Summer but making it possible to secure a better rate next Summer. In order for him to make a success of the undertaking it is necessary that he have the help and immediate co-operation of all concerned. I bespeak for him this hearty co operation.

Respectfully,

R. A. HALL,

President Texas Club, U. of C.

THE TROUBLESOME BOY

Often-yes, usually-has good stuff in him, but sees "no
use" in his lessons. The Little Chronicle, a richly illus-
trated weekly news-magazine, deals with "real business"
and attracts him at once. At the same time it dignifies his
lessons by showing him their relation to the practical world.

A GRATEFUL TEACHER WRITES:

"Through The Little Chronicle I have been able to capture and hold the boy who was the terror of the building." How she did it and what other teachers have accomplished with our magazine, although their pupils were not troublesome, with full instruction for introducing it above fourth grade, is explained in our free Pamphlet No. 8. Ask about free trial offer to pupils and ten cent subscription plan.
