Helps With the Lessons
I
At night when the children tether around
the sitting-room table studying their lessons for
the next day, the telephone often rings. A little
neighbor a mile down the road wants help from
] lis school-mates. Children as well as grown-ups
get pleasure and profit from the .farm telephone. .
