BOYS OF THE CENTRAL.
An algebra recitation was in progress in D section.
Reed was on his feet explaining the given problem with his usual quickness and accuracy. Suddenly Mr. Horton interrupted him.
“Very well, Reed, take your seat. Crawford, you may continue the explanation.”
Crawford stumbled to his feet with a confused glance at the teacher.
“I—er—don’t know exactly where Reed left off, sir,” he stammered.
“If you had been paying attention you would have known. Failure, Crawford. Freeman, you may continue,” said Mr. Horton.
