In h> fi st place :b?- mOe oo)'e e< re mi ch hu?fcer than be fem-'( 0'itl?ges Why i* tbi* if th> b^vaa e ?.? superior 10 the gir's in scH- ol? You all know very well that th< jentl^men teachers are far superioi o the lady teachers I have noticed be boys stands ahead in tpellinp more than the girls, end you all heard ur teacher say that the boys were not as apt to sp-^ak incorrectly af some of the gitls. I went to a school once whe?e the 'eacher offered prize? in three classes *o the ones that had the nioct perfect lessons. Every time any one had a perfect lesson he gave hiai ? merit and at the end of the schoo coun'ed up the merits. In two classes the boys received the p:izea and ir one class a girl received a prize Why was this if the boys were no! superior to the girls in school. Ia the same school a girl copiec tl e answer in L n ; Division and tb< teacher could not do anything with her udtil he gave her a whipping He did not find any boy guilty oi that. In an arithmetic class were two girls and one boy. The boy ould always work his examples some better than the girls. He must tc have been superior to the girls. Oof teacher said at the end of bis scboo1 hat a boy had go't-m aloDg very fasl in arithmetic. Ij his class weresev eral giils and bjys, but the teacher said that the boys were better than !be others. In a school I notice that some ol the large girls gave the teacher mors rouble than the large boys, aod the sluiH girls, too, e-peciallv odp, for she hud Pome.hiDg to cry aboul nearly every day. And in aDothei -chcol, when a little girl first started she tried nearly all the time. ] think that mint certainly worry a teacher, and I know that it bothers the scholars. Ihaveoften seen boys biiDg ir wood and make up the firr; and af ter they hsd made a warm fi e. sweej in the tra^h the wood made. Om time a girl wrote this on a blacl board: "Fours name3 like monkey' ' - !.i: faces are clten seen in puunupiacce, and then wrote the teacher's nam under it. At dinner time be rubbei it out and wrote this on the black board: 'You may go to school nil y ur life. Y 'o miy wiite m quir- of paper, You may use a bottie of ink, But you can'i make you mind think I know that T would not like t rjive been tbat girl when she cam in and 8hw tbat on tbe board.

NEGATIVE Boys are not superior to girls ir school. We see this every day in our little school here Boys are sluggish, but when they get out on the play | yard what a scuffla they have at the 2 door to see which can get out ana | get-to playing first, while the girl? are gentle and peacable, and are not heard on play ground calling each jj other by kick names as the boys do |j Along the road home the boys often j fight and quarrel and on the playn ground also, but did you ever hear of girls fighting aloDg the road or at school? In the schoolroom boys are more disobedient than girls. Onteacher said: "It seems that the boys rake a delight in doiDg wroDg, bur )b, how bad it makes a girl feel wheD J 'he does wrong." We have four I classes in spelling and last Friday the head scholar in every class was I to get a reward card, and two girl* j got cardj, and the reason why the> ! didn't get them in the two other j classes was because there was no girl in one and in the other the boy ftbat got the card was a great deal further advanced than most of his classmates. Once in a school prizes were to b given to the two best spellers, ando course two girls got the prizes. The boys are generally the last ?< > get in the schoolroom when it is tim to come iD, and when the giils hap t pen to be last, then just see how i the boys grin. They think they have i done something very wonderful to get r I in once before the girls.

Boys often use profane language, smoke and chew tobacco at 6chool while the girls are never teen or I heard doog these things, j So every way we look at it we see ( the boys are not superior to the girls in school.
