[Sidenote: Boy’s Letter]
How a child looks upon this matter is seen in the following extract
taken from a boy’s letter:
“We’re having a bully time at school. At recess time teacher plays with
us and after school, too, sometimes.
“We play baseball, and he says we can have a match game if we practice
hard. I’m second baseman. Teacher made the boys let in the little
fellows if they can keep up.
“I hain’t going to miss school nary a day if I can help it. Play’s lots
of fun. We don’t play much in school because we have work to do.
“Hope you’re all well.
