The pupils had got as far as the
word "hypocrites." None of the
children could explain what it meant.

mud." So the teacher explained;
"A hypocrite, children, is a person who
pretends to be what he is not, such as,
one may be pleasant to your face, but
soeaks ill behind your back." "Please
inarm," cried a little boy eagerly rais-
ing his hand then my pa 'aint no
hypocrite" cause he said you were a
confounded old maid, and he'd just's
leave tell yer so yer face."
