“CASTLES” BUILT
BY SEWARD PUPILS
The third, fourth and fifth grades,
inspired by “The Little Womens air
castles have been building extensively
this week. We are very ambitious.
The girls’ castles are mostly musi
cal ones. Four express a desire to
play in moving picture shows and at
dances. Others ask to be artists,
nurses, dressmakers, school teachers
and actresses. One daughter of a
lawyer asks to be in a circus, and the
daughter of a banker wants to be the
richest lady ami have beautitu!
dresses. One little girl wants to b'
a nun because she “already knows
how they operate.”
The boys’ list includes a medical
missionary, a writer, naval and army
officers, “movie photographers,” auto
racers, aviators, engineers, a farmer
who wants to raise tropical fruits, a
master mechanic, a cowboy.
A fifth grader asks to be “a very
famous general in the United States
army. He wants “to win many bat
tles with soldiers who will not run
before the enemy, but stay and beat
them most of the time.”

NOTES
Our new pupil in the fourth grade.
Leslie Wing, is an old friend of Wil- j
lard Shellhorn. They were in the |
second grade together in Seattle.
_Q—
Willard Shellhorn is the only pupil
in the second room who has not had
the measles. He has had so many
chances to take the infection and
has not that we claim he also is im
mune and we fear no more.
The pupils of all grades except the
primary enjoyed a half holiday Friday
afternoon as the reward of twenty
days of perfect attendance.
SIR PHILIP AND
THE CLP OF WATER
By Merritt Shellhorn
Once upon a time there was a good
man. When a war was going on this
good man, named Sir Philip Sydney,
was one of the soldiers, and he and
lots other soldiers got killed and
wounded. Sir Philip was one of the
men who got wounded. Then a sol
dier came up to him with a cup of
water. Sir Philip was just going to
drink it as he saw a man beside him
wounded, too, so he said to this soldier
“give the water to him.”
By
Once upon a time there was a man
whose name was Sir Philip Sydney.
He was fighting in a battle and he
got wounded. He was very thirsty so
they brought him a drink of water.
He saw that there was another man
wounded, too, beside him. He said,
give it to him.

Once in a battle Sir Philip had
been wounded. He was very thirsty
and near him was a man who was
thirsty, too. Sir Philip handed the
cup of water to the other man.

OUR CHIEF AMONG
WORLD INVENTORS
By Everett Simpson
Thomas Edison is one of the great
est men in the world and probably the
greatest inventor that ever lived .
He was born some sixty years ago
and began life as a poor boy in Ohio.
He had hardly been to school but two
months in his life. His mother was
a school teacher and taught the im
portant things which he might never
have learned in school; namely, to
think for himself.
When he was seven he began to
sell papers on the Grand Trunk rail
road in Michigan. Every spare minute
he had he spent at his laboratory
fussing with chemicals and trying to
invent.
The first position he took was as
a telegraph operator at Indianapolis,
when he was eighteen years old, and
at night he used to receive newspaper
reports for practice. He lost many a
place because of his passion for im
provement. He also often kept re
ports waiting while he experimented
with new devices for receiving them.
His latest invention is the torpedo
destroyer which he has turned over
to the United States. Every one
hopes it will bring this great war to
an end.
CAPT. JOHN SMITH
AND POCAHONTAS
By Walter Blue
There was once a brave man named
Captain John Smith. He came to
America many years ago when the
woods were full of Indians and wild
beasts. One day when he was in the
woods hunting some Indians came up
on him and made him their prisoner.
They took him to their chief who said
he should be put to death. Just as
they were ready to kill him Pocahon
tas, the chief’s daughter, came in and
begged for h»s life. Finally the In
dians let him go. As long as she lived
Pocahontas was a friend to the white
man.
