A\ schoolboy assigned to prepare an essay on ducks submitted the following; 1—" The duck is a low, heavy«set bird, composed mostly of meat and feather. He is a mighty •ooOr singer, having a hoarse voice, caused bj getting so many frogs in his throat. He lives in the water' and carries i toy balloon in his stomach to keep him from sinking. The duck has only two legs, and they are set so far back on his running gear by nature that they came pretty near missing his body. Some ducks when they get big have curls on their tails and are called drakes. Drakes don't have to sit and hatch, but just loaf and go in swimming and eat everything in sight. If I was to be a duck I would rather be a drake."
