The Way They Do It
Interviewer; " Mr Swelhed, I have come to get your views on the pro posed change in the curriculum of the grammar school." Mr Swelhed : "Curriculum? What's that? I'm agiu it, whatever it is." Mr Swelhed, reading the report of the interview : " Our distinguished townsman, Mr M. T. i v welhed, was f«jund at his charm- , ing home, surrounded by abundant indications of ripe scholarship and sturdy common sense. In reply to our reporter's question, he said : ' I do not desire to force my opinions upon the public, but I will say that I have given to this question long and studious attention, incidentally examining into the curricula of institutions of learning both at home and abroad, and although I find in the existing course of study not a few matters for condemnation, still, upon the whole, I cannot say that I should advise any radical change until I have had time to examine the subject.' " "By George, that feller's got my exact language, word for word ! And he didn't take no notes, neither ! Ey George, what a memery that feller must have."
