The truants will have to stay in school till late in July, several weeks longer than the regular schools.  This is to teach them that it pays boys better to be good and go to school at proper times.

LETTERS FROM OUR YOUNG FRIENDS.

     DEAR EDITOR: 

My teacher takes THE GREAT ROUND WORLD, and reads it to us every week.  We like it very much, and it is always welcomed in our school room.  As you have answered some questions, would you please tell me, in the next number, which State of the United States has the most miles of railroad, which the least, and how many miles of railroad has each?  Wishing success to your little paper, I remain,

                                   Respectfully yours,
                                        E.R. 
     BALTIMORE, MD., May 1897.

DEAR FRIEND: 

In answer to the questions in your letter, we would refer you to Poor’s “Manual of Railroads.”

EDITOR.

     DEAR EDITOR: 

I see in THE GREAT ROUND WORLD the notice of a handless brush.  Where can it be bought.  Who are the manufacturers?  Please inform me, and oblige a reader of THE GREAT ROUND WORLD.  Respectfully yours,

                                        G.W.  CURRIN. 
     BLOOMSBURG, PA., June 3d, 1897.

DEAR FRIEND: 

We are very sorry to be unable to give you the information you desire.

Our Invention and Discovery Department is not in any sense an advertisement column.

We have facilities for learning of all the latest inventions, and we give our readers those that we think would be of interest to them.  We can, if you wish, give you the name and address of the inventor of the brush, but we cannot tell you if it is already on the market.  EDITOR.

     DEAR EDITOR: 

     I am much pleased with THE GREAT ROUND WORLD.

     Do you think that the Cubans will take Havana soon?  I hope they
     will because I think it will, end the war.

     Do you think that Greece will fight Turkey any more?

     I am going to have a new bicycle; it is to be a Remington.  Do you
     think it is a good make?  Yours truly,

                                        GEORGE B.
     TUXEDO PARK, May 31st, 1897.

DEAR GEORGE: 

We think the Remington a first-class bicycle, and hope you will have a great deal of enjoyment with yours.  EDITOR.

DEAR EDITOR: 

This is the first letter I have ever written.

I take THE GREAT ROUND WORLD, and it is very nice.

                               Yours truly,
     GROTON, MASS.  JOSEPH W.P.
