A CHILD'S LETTER 



NoRTHViLLE, N. Y., November 15, 191 1 

 Dear Mr. Tuttle: 



I am going to write a few lines and thank you for the leaflets I received 

 a while ago. And maybe you would be glad to hear what we have been 

 doing in our school yard. We have made drains, and trimmed the trees, 

 and raked up the leaves, took out stones, piled up the wood that was 

 lying in the yard. We have several trees in our school yard. 



They are different kinds. One is apple. Most every one likes that 

 tree. There are ash and pine too. There are thirty trees in all. 



We have a very large school yard. We planted flowers last year, and 

 vegetables. Some vegetables were lettuce, carrots, radishes. They grew 

 up big enough for the children that brought their dinners to eat them. 

 The color of oiu* school house is red. It is very pleasant and our teacher 

 is very neat. I am going to write you tliree letters and see if I receive 

 a picttire from you. Good by. 



Truly yours,

" In the elder days of Art, 



Builders wrought with greatest care 

 Each minute and unseen part; 

 For the gods see everywhere. 



" Let us do our work as well. 



Both the unseen and the seen; 

 Make the house, where gods may dwell. 

 Beautiful, entire, and clean." 



Henry Wadsworlh Longfellow
