Wit and Wisdom of Children MARJORIE’S DILEMMA Small Marjorie had the very waste- ful habit of piling her plate high with food, a large part of which she often left untasted. Her father, goaded to sternness, finally told her that here- after she must eat what she put on her plate or take a spanking. For some days Marjorie did well, and then delicious chicken pie and dumplings caused her to again fall from grace. She could eat only half of what she took. Vainly she tried, and then leaning back in her chair with a deep sigh she asked, sorrowfully: “Daddy, would you rather be whipped or bust?” PA’S GRACE Little Doris, aged five, was permitted to go with her mother to a tea given by the ladies of the Methodist Guild, and the minister was to be present. She promised to be extraordinarily quiet. The ladies were all seated at the table and the minister at the head. The minister had just finished grace, when little Doris piped up: “My father says grace, too, but he don’t say all that. All he says, usually, is ‘Good God! What a meal!’” HE TRIED HIS BEST Attending a primary grade at pub- lic school was one boy who, although not really stupid; had an extremely poor memory. And when it came to combining historical dates and events he was always bound to get zero. One day the teacher announced an oral examination in history the fol- lowing week. As Thomas became quite nervous at this, the teacher said kindly, “Thomas, if I set the date and event to a rhyme will you try and memorize it? For instance: “In fourteen hundred ninety-two Columbus crossed the ocean blue. All laughed at Tom, and the inci- dent was forgotten. The superin- tendent arrived, and all were lined up for the examination. Just why this clever man pounced upon Thomas first will never be known.
