Show PLAYING UP TO THE TEACHER Indianapolis Youngster Had a Pretty Shrewd Idea of What He Was Doing, After All. John Arthur is a pupil in a Jeffer-sonville Jeffer-sonville departmental school, and had to write an essay on Woodrow Wilson, among others. He evinced such a high regard for the president, especially in his management of the World war, as to express the view that he was even greater than Washington or Lincoln. Lin-coln. He said they made a fine showing show-ing in the little wars they had to handle, han-dle, but could hardly, he thought, have got through the big one.. His father, seeing the essay, ventured the opinion opin-ion that the writer was too positive in his statement, although admiring Wilson himself. John Arthur showed he was perhaps something of a diplomat dip-lomat as well as an essayist. "Oh, well," he remarked, "the teacher teach-er is a Democrat, anyhow." Indianapolis Indian-apolis News. |
