Boys Are Thai Way
Slates were all we had to write on
at the old one-teacher school in the
Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork when
I came along. We had no grades.
Our position in school was deter
mined by the reader we were in.
About the time we got to the
‘ third reader", which was after wc
had worn out the first two books in
reading and were about nine years
old, we got a “copy book”. It had a
sentence written across the top of
each page in a beautiful flowing
hand. Under that we copied it clear
to the bottom of the page. That was
in pencil. About the time we put on
long pants they put us on ink. My,
that stuff was messy to write with
at first. We had to carry an ink bot
tle. If we left it at school it would
freeze at night and ruin it. So we
usually carried it home in our pock
ets. And those bottles would often
leak,
I can well remember the first in-1
delible pencil I ever saw. Ben got
it somewhere. No trinket fasci- !
nated me more. I wanted it so bad
that I pestered him all day about a
trade. And I would ask to speak to
him as often as the teacher would
let me during time of “books".' It
was that pencil that I wanted to
talk about every time.
I offered him different assort
ments of the varied trivial a boy al- J
ways carriees in his pocket, treas

So I would borrow it, wet places in
my book, and make those pretty,
purple marks. We had never seen
coloring crayons or anything that
would make a colored mar other
than black. When my treasured big
piece of blue glass, snd small coil of
fish hook, white Indian arrow head,

for me. Next morning down the path

melted, it had come apart, and the
inside had all dissolved and spatter

of the first order in my young life.
