Dear Children,— (Well, here we are again, at the end of another week, and time for our corner once more. I have had such a lot of mail again this week that it will take all our space to answer your letters, so I won’t write very much. Now there is one thing some of you have been forgetting, and that is to put your names and addresses on your letters. I had a letter yesterday from some little person who is eight years old and lives at 8 Collins Street, Blaketown, but there was no name on the letter, so 1 would be pleased if he or she would tell me his or her name and date of birthday. Try to be very careful about that won’t you, boys and girls, because if you send in your competitions without your name, I won’t know to whom to give the marks. Cheerio till next week. Lots of love.
