Fulltext: 134 THE YOUNG CITIZEN April, 1940 VACATION We are now on our vacation. I hope all of us are having a good time. I am having a good time in my vacation. · Why? .Because during the school year I did my best to do my work as a teacher. What I did might not be the best, but I . did the best I could. I did not neglect my duties. I studied my lessons every day. Well, how about you? Did you see the picture on the cover of the March issue of The Young Citizen? If you did not, do . not go on reading this. See the ·picture first. Is the boy happy? Wha..t is . he doing? Why is he crying? You can very well ~ee that the boy is crying because the grades on his· card are not very good. Suppose you were in his place? Suppose your grades were not good either, how would you feel now? There are many boys and girls like the boy in the picture. When they got their cards and saw their poor grades, they cried. Even now in their vacation they are not happy. Of course, there are also many school children who are very happy at this time of the year. From June to March, they did their best to do their school work. They studied hard. When they received their cards at the end of the school year, their grades were good. And so we are quite sure that they are having a very pleasant vacation. At the end of every school year there are two groups of school children: those that are happy and those that are not. To which group do you belong? Has your card made you happy or not? -DR. I.
