By Mildred Hubbart, Brooklyn, Grade 8B. In the year 1758 the English captured Quebec, General Wolf leading the Kng' Ush force, the French force being led by General Montcalm. Both these men wer kind, considerate and brave. Both knew that if the English captured Que bec the French power would end In the new world. Quebec was the strongest fortress in the new world at that time. The fort was situated on a cliff aboul 200 feet high, between the St. Lawrence and St. Charles rlvera Back of the city th land became wider as it descends; this Is called the Plains of Abraham. So well was this fort guarded bv Mont calm that Wolf spent all of July and auguai trying to nnd some way to cap ture it- On day he saw a llttl path leading up tne steep curt. The next day the English bombarded the fort and pre tended to be unloading troopa on the Bt cnaries side or tbe fort About mid- nignt won, with about 6,000 men. climbed np the steep cliff. The next morning Montcalm wss surprised to see th English soldiers drawn up tn rattle line on tn Plains of Abraham. Montcalm got his men together and after a hard fight the French ware de feated.

By Sadie Havely, Brooklyn School. JA. Our schoolroom is situated on the sec ond floor in the western, part of the east wing of the building. It has four large windows facing the north, which afford an even light falling sideways across the desks. The ventilation could hardly be im proved upon. There is an electric fan in the basement which conveys heat and fresh air into the room.-' The seats are arranged In five rows running east ana west. x ne leacner a desk and chair are in the northeast cor ner of the room, facing tne children. Her chair was given her by one of the previous . graduating classes. It ia an arm chair and the back of It ia , cush There are seven beautiful pictures which were also left bv ' the different graduating classes. My- favorite of these cictures is one called "The Shep herdess." It was painted by Lerolle, In France. The picture is of A yotfng firl with a herd of jheep following ner. n the background you can see the girl's home.
