George Washington, whose name is as familiar to the bovs and girls of v as any of the great men of the present time, and much more so than many of them, was a different type of man, reared in different surroundings, than Abraham Lincoln. No one will forget the story of Washington e cherry tree and the lesson it teaches, and no one will forget the s natriotic service rendered by Washington to his country as com- nander of its army in the Revolu- v war and as its first president. Few are the men who become such nal figures that their birthdays observed as holidays, and fewer are those for whom such celebra- are held during their lifetime. however, happened in Washing- ton'scase, and it isan interesting coin- cidence that the anniversary the first year it was celebrated came on Sun- day-even as it does tkis year. The first to celebrate the anniver- had come here from France to help Washington and was stationed at Newport with his soldiers, and it was n “acknowledgment of the good will on. between Erance and this new country. Count de Rochambeau wrote: “Yes- terday was the an ersary- of your We have put off celebrating the holiday by reason of the Lord’'s day and we will celebrate it with sole regret that your excel- lency be not a witness of the effusion and gladness of our hearts.” Naturally Washington was greatly flattered, and the observance became a yearly event more or less general throughout the United States from that time. Adored by his soldiers and revered by the people, it is natural that shis life should prove a great in- spiration down through all the years sinc® his time. LETTERS OF ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Clarence G.

Our Canary Birds. 1 want to tell you about some canary birds we used to have. The father's and mother’s names’ were Dick and Daisy. Dick was my own bird and he wa sa fine singer. Daisy was small and cunning. | Mother put a box with cotton in the corner of the cage for a nest. Daisy laid four little brisht speckled eggs and in about three weeks three dar- ling little birds hatched. One was a little green bird and the other two were bright yellow. The green bird jumped out of his nest. He hurt his leg so that it made him lame. Later we sold him and the people who bought him said he was a beau- tiful singer. Aftér a while we sold the mall, so now we haven't any birds. LOUISE AVERY, Age 10. Norwich Town. George Washington. The name of George Washington calls up many thrilling emotions in the minds of American citizens. He was the third son of Augustus Wash- ington, born on February 22, 1732, near the banks of the Potomac, in ‘Westmore-land county, Virginia. In 1730 his father married for second wife, Mary Ball, by whom he had four sons, George, John, Samuel, and Charles, and one daughter, Bet- ty. His father's father, John Wash- ington, came to tlifis country in 1657 and settled on the place where George was born, At the age of 10 he lost his fath- er. His mother now became his sole guardian, and she taught him those principles of religion and truthfulness, and at the age of 15 he had obtain- ed a midshipman’s warrant to enter the ‘English navy. - His ‘trunk was in the boat, but as he went to give his mothen a parting kiss hé saw the tears in; her eyes; he ordered his trunk and determined not to go. Four years after ha was appointed adjutant general of Virginia, with the rank of major. From that time his history is thehistory of his. country. General Washington’s election to the office of.chief magistrite of the Unit- | ed ‘States: was announced to him at Mount Vernon, on April. 14, 1789, On the-30th of April he became president of the United States of America. He did a lot for his coun- try- during the war. Betsy Ross made the first American flag. He was elected far another term and then John Adams took his . place. retired .to Mouht Vernon, there .to spend his life in rest and quiet. But his life was drawing near to a close afd as he was riding out one day on horseback to visit his farm, he was overtaken by a storm which. chilled him through. A cold followed which settled in his throat and hurried him rapidly to his grave. His dying words were: “I die hard, ' but I am not afraid to die. T be- lieved from the first that I could not survive it. My health cannot last long.” He sank gradually away on the 14th of December, 1799, two days after his attack, he ceased to breath. Guns were fired as he was carried to his place of burial, his war horse was bridled and saddled and walked be- side his coffin riderless. The land was hung in crepe. . ~M: RAYMOND CHAPMAN. Fitchville. Yan and Betson’s Adventure, Yan and Betson were two eight year, old Dutch children. The moth- er and father were called Mr. and Mrs. Van Keitel They were happy little children and helped Father and Mother Keitel. There was much to do, too, for Father Keitel's trade was to raise flowers. He sent many bulbs to the United States and other countries. One day Yan and Betson were alone in the garden. They had sat down on the old bench, when sudden- ly Betson said, “Oh, Yan, look, there is one of those fairies which mother .told us about” “Oh, yes” sald Yan. By this time the fairy had looked up iand said, “Hello, children, would you like to go on an adventure.” “Oh, yes,” So they start- ed off on the adventure. . Finally they came to the old stone in the yard. Yan and Betson helped to lift the huge stone, then they went down a pair of steps. Soon they found themselyes in Fairyland. They stayed about two hours in Fairyland, but they wanted to visit Goody Land. They drove in a gilt coach to the gates of Goody Land. Then they got out and went through the streets. All they could see was children eating cakes, candy, gingerbread men, and other goodies. Finally some one came up and nudg- ed Bet, who hit Yan on the back. Then both woke up, saying, “Oh, was T dreaming?” RUTH TAYLOR. New (London, His Recommendations. One. day* as Mr. Brown ang Mr. Hayne sat together falking in the latter's office when' a boy about six- teen entered the office. When asked what he wanted he said Ie'had read the advertisement for a boy in the morning paper and that he came to apply for the position. Mr. Hayne ‘Washington | few of the crew had managed to -he would “hin eek ‘an if he could do the work he could stay. The boy then left' the office promis ing to come at 8 o'clock next morn- ing and begin to work., iy ‘When he was gone Mr. Brown said w do you dare to to. Mr. Hayne, I take that boy to work here when you did not get any. iméandation from his former employer, For all you know he might be one who gambles or even steals?” .- = by “Well,”” answered Mr. Hayne, “did you not e that when he came in he opened the door for the lady that was here. He took off his hat when he came in: He said, “Good Morn- ing,” to everyone he met. He pick- ed up the book I dropped and he said “Thank you”-when I said he could have the position. Are those not enough_recommendations for a boy?" DIANA SAAMANEN, Age 14. Plainfield. =esed Procrastination. Procrastination is a long word, but it is one most of us know something about. And the boy or girl who is fond of procrastination is the boy, or girl, who thinks that tomor- row is the proper time to do any- thing, not presently. There_is -dan- ger in putting off until fomorrow what we can do today. One of our great ships had sprung aleak, and lay far olit in the ocean with her signal of distress flying. To the joy of all on board, a ship drew near, and when it ‘came within hailing distance the strange captain inquired through his speaking trumpet, “What's amiss?” “We are in bad repalr, and are go- ing down, but lie by until morning as it is ‘nothing that needs to be looked into hurriedly. We cannot go ahead, but will have the leak tended to soon enough to prevent any real danger,” was the- reply. “Let me take your passengers om board now,” called back the willing helper. “Lie’ back untfl morning,” was the curt answer. Morning came, but the great steam- er had _disappeared, having gone down with passengers, cargo. and the procrastinating captain on board. A save the'r lives by lowering lifeboats. and getting dway from the ill-fated ship. “Please, mother,” Mary calls as she is all ready to go to bed, “T want to get up early tomorrow morninz and do some examples which I promised the teacher 1 would do tonight, but al- though I did not forget my promise I knew it would be all the same to the teacher, so long as I get them done' Morning comes and mamma calls “Mary! Mary!” “Yes!" comes back the answer. "Half an hour afterwards mamma calls “Mary! Mary! You know vou have those examples to do this morning.” . “Oh, ves, but T can dress and eat my breakfast in less than half an hour and T still have an hour if as you say it is only 8 o'clock.” Mamma waited 20 minutes, thinking )Iar\: was up #nd dressing, then. not hearing a sound, she arain called ana was srrorised to find Macy had fallen fast asleep. Consequently she barely had time to dress. and eat, with no| time left to do her examries; besides | her temper was ruffied hefore oing to | school, and worse ruffled after she reached school. and teacher’s t&mper was ruffled to th'nk that just the day | before she had ziven the class a lec- ture on procrastination. which is! promising to do today what we put off until tomorrow. She gave Mary such a private lecture on this one | word that the result was that when- | ever she had anything to do she did it, ! unless it was something that would adapt itself equallv as well if procras- tination were ampplied. FLORENCE J. HILL, Age 12. Norwich. A Chase. . Two years ago when I was on the farm I had many exciting days. Once | when I was coming home from the chicken coops with a market basket about half filled with eggs under my arm, I happened to arouse the cow | with a red sweater wh.ch I was wear- ing. She soon started to chase me | and away I ran as I saw her com- | ing upon me. I looked back many times to see how near she was. Once upon looking back I stumbled over a large stone. I broke most of the eggs but paid no attention to them and picked myseif up immediately. When I was near a brook close by the corn field Billy, the farmer, spied the cow chasing me. He at once ran up to her and caught her by the horns and took her back to the shed, where she stayed. I went to the farmhouse almost ex- hausted. I left the damaged and un- damaged eggs to the farmer. , When I was all quieted down I said to my mother, “Never again am I going to wear a'red sweater on this farm.” And never again did I. HILDA E. VOGT, Age 11. New London. > John at the Front, ‘One day, three weeks before the war, a boy was walking along the street. -He heard somebody say ; “Look out!” Looking back he saw a man with a_gun aiming at him. The man shot at him but he ducked his head and wasn't hurt. A few weeks after he found out it was a German spy. Later he read in the paper that war was declared between America and Germany. He didn’t have any parents so he enlisted in the army. They asked him his name and many other questions. So, many days af- ter he was sent to France with a company of soldiers. Then he was sent to the front. He was captured | by some Germans and was put in prison, while ‘the Americans were fighting. So he thought he would fight | also. When midnight came he got up and killed the guard. He took the guard’s gun and went to fight with the Americans. When the Americans saw him they thought at first it was a spy.. When the captain saw him he said: “Why, that's Johnny.” He was then made to do spy work. He succeeded very well and came back safe. He found out many important things. He was given a ‘medal and he felt very proud of his medal. LIAM DURR, Age 10. Taftville. My Experience With a Snake. One summer afternoon my friends and I went for a ride to the country. When we arrived we had lunch and played games. Before we left we picked berries and nuts and were looking for the four leaf clover. Just as I was going to stoop, some- thing crawled up my arm and bit me. “Oh.” I exclaimed, “a hoppy toad.” But I was very much surprised when my brother took from my sleeve a spake. I will never forget my first ex- perience with a snake. MARY McNAMARA, Providence. Bee Lines. We've all known people who have followed the- bees' example in keep- ing busy, yet who have failed to get much done. It's because they haven't founq the other secret of the bee's success. Did you ever -hear about a ‘bee! line?” When people want to get| somewhere in a hurry they talk about making g “bee line” towards it. A} bee never-starts out to get anything | without first flying up into the air and sighting his destination. Too many classes follow the ex- ample of the bee in only 'one point, keeping busy. . They don't arrive at any s _place because they BY R. S. ALEXANDER. “Front! Show this gentleman into a room, oifice, and job as a.hotel mzn- ager.” L xI-Iow would you like to hear some hotel owner give the bell-boy that order and know that {m: were the “gentle- man?” You will never hear it. Hotel managerships come as the result of | hard, persistent work.- 3 Take _an inventory of yourself be- fore {ou go into the hotel business and see if you have the following assets: 1. Are you honest? There are more chances to be crooked in the hotel busi= ness than in any other business under the sun. If you simply can’t keep your fingers off other people’s property, stay out of the busiess. 2).' Are you naturally rude or ab- rupt? ' Courtesy is the first requisite of the hotel man. The standing joke about the supercilious hotel clerk is a joke because' courtesy is the thing most de- sired and expected in a hotel clerk. You'll find there is no group of busi- ness men so willing to give you your money’s worth and a little more as the successful hotel men. Hayve you the disposition to serve? When you go to a hotel the thing you pay for is service—personal service. Of course, you want the bed soft and the food clean, but most of the service Kou demand is the personal service of the employees. 1f they give it grudgingly or half heartedly, you wnn’tgo back if you can avoid it. 4. Are you ugly? Good looks count in this business. Nothing so disgusts a person as to be waited on by some one whose physical appearance is re- * pulsive. This does not mean that you have to take a beauty prize to break into the hotel business but it does mean that you must look neat and attractive. First impressions count. Most persons in the hotel business break in by the bell boy route. If you are a little alder and have some skill at figures or with a pen, you may be put in the auditing room or in charge of handling the keys. You can count on it though you will have to start at the’ bottom and work up. You can get further information by writing to one of the big hotels or to one of the magazines published for hotel men. You can ger the names and addresses of such magazines from your local hotel manager. Walking on the Hands BY DR. E. D. ANGELL Beppo made a chalk mark on the floor about a foot and a half from the wall; with a quick step he approached it placing his hands on the chalk mark, he threw his feet in the air and bent his legs at the knees until the soles of his shoes touched the wall. “I'm going to teach you how to walk on your hands,” said Beppo, “and be- fore the second part of the lesson each of you must do what 1 have just shown ! you ten times—and you must do it so that your feet touch the wall very light- . The boys began their practice and after many failures they found that the stunt was not so hard but could be done if one was only confident. “Now,” instructed the clown, “walk- ing on your hands is just like walki on your feet—you must get over-bal- anced and instead of falling take a step with your hand. I can’t teach you this as-I did the roll over and the others; for this is a trick you must feel—but I can show you how and tell you what to do; then it takes long, hard practice. You won't lsarn this one in a day. o4 must take a quick step forward —this is to give you enough speed to get your feet in the air. Don’t try to walic until'your feet are up and you are just a little bit over-balanced and if you fall don’t come down like a ton of icks but curl up and do a roll. By practicing against the wall as I have just shown you, you will get ‘the feel’ of having your feet in the air and then you can try a step or two.

WEIRICH *“Well, daughter, I've at last found a position_that will be just the thing for you,” said Dr. Baird one night at the dinner table. “How would yo# like to be our Assistant Hospital Statistician?” “Why father, I don’t even know what a statistician is.” ‘ “Many people have no idea of the real ‘meaning of the profession. Just forget about that word, statistician, for 2 moment. What we need is a girl with mathematical ability. She must be able to work with figures and she must learn to compare the facts and figures of ‘this year with those of last ycar by making charts and writing reports. “A practical way to begin in any such tine of work would be as an understuay or statistical clerk in an office, where one first learns the business. Your first duty as a Hospital Statistician would be an understanding of medical terms in order to file intelligeatly.” “But father, I would need some sp2- cial training.” “Not many employed as statisticiane have had the training necessary to come a real success. Those who appre- ciate this need may take courses in statistical methods in the financial de- partments of all our leading universi- ties. However, the demands of differ- ent houses upon their various statistica: departments are so varied that it would be impossible to map out a course of study to fit one exactly for every tion desired. Our present statistician is not a college graduate. She started in a doctor’s office and later attended §chool at the University of Pennsyl- vania where she studied Medical Statis- tics. Her annual salary is $2,500. “During the war the need for women statisticians was higher than ever be- fore. Women were employed by the Food Administration, the Y. W. C. A. banks, large business houses and, iy fact. every line of industry. A salars of $3,000 was not unheard of.” “That salary sounds good to me ané I'believe you when you say that it is possible for a girl to work up to a bij position just as well as any man. Il start tomorrow as Assistant Hospital Sraristician.” Short Cuts BY 'MOLLIE PRICE COOK Genevieve was a leader among girls. Whenever the school principal wanted to organize the girls tg carry something “over the top,” she sent for Genevieve. She was called to form a chapter of the Junior Red Cross, to start the Liberty Loan drive for the school, to raise funds for the wounded soldiers, Genevieve was liked ;‘:f, every girl in school, by the principal, and by the teachers. She was not “stuck-up.” She never cared™to hold office, but accepted favors gratefully. Also, she returned as many favors as she accepted. Two of the teachers were discussing Genevieve one day. “What is th?. se- cret of her leadership?” said one. “She gets along with everybody and seems able to manage anything.” ? “And she’s so pleasant to mest,” said the other. “There she is now. Let's ask her how she does it g “Easy enough,” Genevieve replied to this question. “Several years ago started to study the ways and habits of people who are worth-while. I learned that these people are, first of 2ll, hon- est with themselves and with others. They are sincere, and never start any- thing they cannot finish. They learn how to get along with people—and, no matter what happens, they control their tempers. 1 decided to be like them in every way L could.
