Dedicated to her whose instruction and example first inspired in me the purposes and ideals which make for patience, courage, endurance and faith— MY MOTHER

My teacher told me to write a composition on the last picture I looked at, said Henry, a sixth grader, when he came in from school the other day. I had seen a picture of a fire engine, he added, so I wrote:
'With a clatter of hoofs and a whirr of wheels, the fire engine dashed around the corner. The driver was crouched low in the seat. He was driving like Jehu.'
But I could not spell Jehu, so I went to my teacher and asked, 'Please, how do you spell Jehu?'
'Spell what, Henry?'
'Jehu.'
