" Pants."

A boy in the Wichita schools, California, has been suspended for reading the following essay on •' Pants" :—

Pants are made for men and not men for pants. Women are made for men, and not pants. When a man pants for a woman or a woman pants for a man, they are a pair of pants. Such pants don't last. Pants are like molasses : they are thinner in hot weather and thicker in cold.

The man iv the moon changes his pants during an eclipse.

Don't go to the pantry for pants ; you may be mistaken. Men are often mistaken in pants. Such mistakes make breeches of promise. There has been much discussion as to whether " pants " is singlar or plural.

Seems to us when men wear pants they are plural, and when they don't wear any they are singular.

Meu get on a tear in their pants and it is all right ; but when the pants get on a tear it is all wrong.
