They did not have a wooden floor. It was heated by a wide open fire place. It had one door and window which were covered with skins. The furni ture was roughly made. —Brandon Caudle, Grade 4B. ^ S(! Washington and His Hatchet One day George Washington’s father went to the city and brought him a new hatchet. It was red, white and blue. He was very proud of his new hatchet. One day he was in the orchard testing out his hatchet. He came to a little cherry tree. “ “That is a little tree. It will not hurt if I take just one whack,” thought George. So he took his hatchet and gave it a whack and down it went. When his father went into the or chard and found his cherry tree cut down he said, “George do you know who cut down my cherry tree?” “I did, father,” answered George. “I was testing my new hatchet.” Then his father said, “George, I will not punish you because you were truthful.” * * * David Caldwell David Caldwell, the oldest of the four sons of Andrew and Martha Caldwell, was born in Lancastei county, Pennsylvania, March 22, 1725. We know little of David Caldwell, save that as a boy he was apprenticed to a house carpenter, that he served his apprenticeship in that business till he was twenty- one and then he worked four years for himself at the same trade. When he was about twenty-five years old he professed religion, and conceived a desire to enter the Presbyterian ministry, and this was the spur which brought him to seek a clas sical education. He agreed with his brother that he would relinquish all claims on the paternal estate for money in hand to take him through college; it is thought he taught a year before going to the College of New Jersey, from which he was graduated in 1761. I He was thirty-six years old when [ he graduated, and was just entering! on a man’s career, although he had been for fifteen years entered on j man’s estate. When he graduated he taught for a year; was tutor in • the college of New Jersey, studying theology in the meantime, and was licensed by the Presbytery of New Brunswick in 1763. He served as supply in various places, and on May 16, 1765, was appointed “to labor at least one whole year as a missionary in North Carolina.” He was one of the earliest Pres byterian missionaries in North Caro lina. He was present at a meeting of Hanover Presbytery in June 1766. He joined that Presbytery, October 11, 1767, and on March 5, 1768, he was installed at Buffalo as pastor of the Buffalo and Alamance con gregations in Guilford County. In 1766 David Caldwell married Pacel Craighead, daughter of Rev. Alexander Craighead, of Mecklen burg county, North Carolina. To this union were born eight sons and a daughter who were all useful cit izens. Three of the sons became ministers and one a physician. David Caldwell began in 1767 a classical school which continued many years. The school was one of the best the state has ever had. Many of his pupils became eminent as statesmen, lawyers, judges, phy sicians, and ministers; some were congressmen, and five became gove- nors of states. David Caldwell died August 25, 1824, at one hundred years of age. He was buried at Buffalo church where he had served for sixty years. Next year the children of South Greensboro will have the privilege of attending school in a magnificent new school building which will bear the name of David Caldwell. He justly deserves to have his memory so honored for he was truly one of the greatest educators Greensboro has ever known. —Blanche Thompson, 7 Al. CYPRESS STREET SCHOOL My Little Kitty I had a little black kitty. I , did not name him because he did j not stay there long. My father ; took him off one night while I was asleep. One day when we j'went to the store a cat put his tail around Nance Shaley’s leg. She I said, “That is my kitty you took off, father.” —Yvonne Rumley, Grade 2B j TRUTHFUL GEORGE j In the old time garden path they ^ paced In days of long ago. His arm encircled Martha’s waist. Their steps were staid and slow, ^ Said she, “Pray tell me I implore, , George Washington confess, I Have e’er you kissed a girl before?” Quoth truthful George, “Oh yes.” They lingered by the lilac tree And earnestly he said, “Sweet Widow Curtis, dear to me, I pray thee let us wed.” I She shyly shook her silken curls, “Now George just tell me true Have you proposed to other girls?” Quoth truthful George, “A few.” The twilight shadows fell apace O’er sweet Virginia’s land. At Martha’s feet with courtly grace He knelt and kissed her hand. , “My heart is true as stars above.” Said she, “And is it so I really am your heart’s first love?” Quoth truthful George, “Oh no.” Said Martha, **Then I’ll be your wife.” I cannot fear forsoothe To trust my happiness and life To the one who tells the truth. And when I’m old and toothless grown And wearing grandma caps. You’ll still love me and me alone.” Quoth truthful George, “Perhaps.” Program for George Washington’s Birthday by Fifth and Sixth Grades. 1. Song 2. Life and character of Wash ington. 3.

George Washington was a truthful boy His heart was always full of joy, At school he played and jumped with fun And did it better than any one. When he grew to be a man, He surveyed a lot of land. He was a soldier brave and true He loved the flag, red, white and blue He for our country freedom won, And we will honor George Washing ton. We’ll love our flag, our country too And be real honest, brave and true. The teachers of the school were entertained by Mrs. S. T. Wyrick and Mrs. M. R. Banner on Tuesday afternoon.

Mr. Burgess Speaks to Seventh Grade We had a happy surprise on Monday, February 12. Mr. Bur gess, the poet from Missouri, came into Miss Patton’s room and we had the time of our lives! He kept us laughing from the time he en tered the room till he went out. He told only a few jokes and didn’t stay long, but every time he open ed his mouth to speak, we knew something funny was coming and we laughed before he had a chance to say it. We talked about him all day long, and every time something was said about him, there was an uproar of laughter. We hope he will come back sometime. —Zaidie Smith. The Blind Man On a bitter winter day When the snow was on the ground, I met a poor old blind man, Stumbling silent on his way. As I passed him in the city, A shadow passed me by: “Cannot I do something To help make his life worth while?” Slowly I walked homeward, The thought upon my mind. I slept that night, and behold! An angel whispered: “Be kind to his poor soul.” I harkened: and after he had gone From this world of sorrow below, Did not God write in his book of gold, “She helped a poor unfortunate soul?” —Frances Hart—7A-2 Miss Patton’s Room Elects Officers Friday two weeks ago Miss Pat ton’s seventh grade met to elect officers for their club.
