M w « Ph w S wM o R w B JUVENILE GEMS. 103 THE SMALL BOYS TROUBLES. BEFORE they had arithmeticOr telescopes or chalkOr blackboards, maps and copybooks,When they could only talk; Before Columbus came to show The world geography,What did they teach the little boys Who went to school like me? There wasnt any grammar then,They couldnt read or spell, For books were not invented, yetI think twas just as well; There were not any rows of dates Or laws or wars or kingsOr generals or victories Or any of those things; There couldnt be much to learn,There wasnt much to know; Twas nice to be a boyTen thousand years ago. For history had not begun, The world was very new,And in the schools I dont see what The children had to do. Now always there is more to learn; How history does grow!And every day they find new things They think we ought to know. And if it must go on like this Im glad I live today,For boys ten thousand years from now Will not have time to play! —Answers. tcfi *£& f£& A
