Timothy’s Teacher.
Said Timothy Von Tiukleton: “I’m realty in despair. I “never" shall get on at school as long ast teacher’s there! I don't mind “learning" lessons, and I'ra said so loud and plain; Bui he actually expects me to remember them again I Now, I lore a slate and pencil, and 1 really do enjoy Making rows and rows of figures (I'm a very tidy boy): Put—could you just imagine it?—he grows unpleasant quite, Unless when I show up my sums I've got the answer right! Take spelling—it's the greatest fun, and yet he will not see If all of us wrote words alike how dull the game would be! I’m very fond of school._of course, but till that man’s away It’s really only'waste of time my going ev* cry day.”
