In your issue of November 4th I notice that there were printed several letters from a school in Foxboro, Mass.
As my pupils are interested in letter-writing, I think it would be a great incentive toward the accomplishment of good work in that direction if they may be allowed to write a batch of letters to the editor of The Great Round World, with the hope that one or two of the best of them will be printed in your paper. Hoping that you will give the letters, which I herewith enclose, your gracious attention, I am
Very truly yours,
Harriet B. Raymond.

Dear Madam:
We are only too happy to comply with your very pleasant request. It is our desire to be of service to our readers, and if the fact of writing to us will help them in their studies we shall be only too delighted to have them write to us as often as they feel inclined.
Pray tell them that we will take pleasure in answering every good letter that we receive. Editor.
We take pleasure in publishing the two following letters from our little friends in Poplar Plains.
All the letters were interesting, and showed that the young readers had studied The Great Round World very carefully. We would have been delighted to publish them all, but space forbade. Editor.
Dear Editor:
Your paper is so very interesting that the teacher reads to us some of the stories, one of which I liked very much. It was about the forest fires, and we were very anxious to have the next paper come. Some of the other scholars of my school are going to write and tell you what they think is the best story. Good-by,
