A NEW AND ORIGINAL PLAN FOR READING APPLIED TO THE WORLD'S BEST LITERATURE FOR CHILDREN [Illustration: A GREAT BIG YELLOW ONE] JOHN'S PUMPKIN By MRS ARCHIBALD Last spring I found a pumpkin seed, And thought that I would go And plant it in a secret place, That no one else would know, And watch all summer long to see It grow, and grow, and grow, And maybe raise a pumpkin for A Jack−a−lantern show. I stuck a stick beside the seed, And thought that I should shout One morning when I stooped and saw The greenest little sprout! I used to carry water there, When no one was about, And every day I'd count to see How many leaves were out. Till by and by there came a flower The color of the sun, Which withered up, and then I saw The pumpkin was begun; But oh! I knew I'd have to wait So long to have my fun, Before that small green ball could be A great big yellow one. JOHN'S PUMPKIN 2 Journeys Through Bookland

  • In the Age of Sail (1571 – 1862), Tall Ships Transported Passengers and Cargo Across Dangerous and Often Uncharted Seas
    In The Age of Sail (1571 – 1862), tall ships transported passengers and cargo across dangerous and often uncharted seas. Though there were fortunes to be made for those who were disciplined, skilled and lucky enough to succeed, the risks were great and many never returned. These massive ships required skilled workers, wood from hundreds of trees and miles of rope to build. They also required a large crew to work together to haul their heavy sails. The Age of Sail was an exciting and dangerous time for those who sailed for distant ports on voyages that often lasted years. Most of the sailors (and pirates) of the era were young, some as young as 14, with an average age of 25 and an average life expectancy of just 35. At Save the Harbor/Save the Bay we want all the young people who take part in our free programs to know that young men and women of every race and nationality played important roles in our maritime past, and that that there are plenty of opportunities for them today on Boston Harbor, our waterfront and the sea. To learn about some of the exciting things young people are doing on Boston Harbor this summer, visit our youth and beach program blog, Sea, Sand & Sky at www.blog.savetheharbor.org ROBERT SMALLS (1839-1915) MARY READ (1685-1721) CHING SHIH (1775-1844) THE FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN NAVY CAPTAIN FEARLESS FEMALE PIRATE THE WORLD’S FIERCEST AND MOST SUCCESSFUL PIRATE In 1862, Robert Smalls used the cover of the Mary Read was a young woman who dressed as a Ching Shih cleverly leveraged her way out of darkness of the night to smuggle a group of slaves boy to get work on ships.
