And held clumsily In their toll-hard-

I grew, too, like many of them, and
wns greatly Interested In the work.
Their mistakes were often so comi-

to malnlain the gravity betlttlng my
position.
As the holidays approached, many
of the pupils were so interested in the
work that a petiton signed by nearly
nil of them, was sent to the school
lioard. asking that the sessions of the
night school might be continued ex-
cept on Christmas and New Year's
days. I wns a little disappointed
when I learned Hint the petition had
been granted, for the work wns really
wearisome, nnd I had been hoping
