Student Comment
“IS THIS YOURS?"
In our civilized world you often hear these questions
asked “Is this yours?" “Does it legally belong to you?"
They are familiar questions and hold an important
meaning in our society.
When a person takes a thing without permission he
is looked upon by our society as a thief. Society in
all parts of the world, does not associate with crime,
illegal procedures, felonies and misdemeanors, or any
thing which endangers its life.
Stealing is one of the most hateful offenses against
our social life. It has proven that it can bring regret,
sorrow and damage. During our life-time every one of
us should contribute to our society in some way for a
better and more useful life.
The best time that is offered is during our school
life. Let's train to resist stealing and other forms of
crime. Take only your own rightful belongings and
follow the “Golden Rule" for “crime does not pay."—
Al Slickpoo.
GETTING MY EDUCATION
Our government is helping me get an education.
Our books help me. Our teacher helps me. Our school
helps me. Our reading helps me, too. I am being a
good citizen. I am helping others, too. I am in the
third grade.—Danny Edwards.
