By Helen Fits Gerald. Couch, Grade 8A.'
Martin Kelly, the young man who
came with th people, was very daring
and also very raah. He was firmly de
termined that he would kill the first
Indian be saw.
The people tried to make him listen to
reason and not be so rash, but he paid
little attention to them.
One day when they were struggling
through, some thick brush they came
across a squaw .and a little Indian girl
sitting on a fallen log. Ma: tin uw

him be had fired and killed the sguaw.
He said. "There Is the first Indian I
have seen and as I said I would kill the
first one. I have done it"
Just then the chief and about 30 war
riors came running toward them and
they thought their end had come, but to
their surprise it was a tribe that was
friendly to whit people. The chief
came up to them and aald h wlahed
only th person who had killed the
quaw, but if they did not give the

Martin then whispered good-bye to

In the year 1758 the English captured
Quebec, General Wolf leading the Kng'

by General Montcalm. Both these men
wer kind, considerate and brave. Both
knew that if the English captured Que

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

On day he saw a llttl path leading
up tne steep curt. The next day the
English bombarded the fort and pre

Our Schoolroom.
By Sadie Havely, Brooklyn School. JA.
Our schoolroom is situated on the sec

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
