An algebra recitation was in progress in D section. Reed was on his feet explaining the given problem with his usual quickness and accuracy. Suddenly Mr. Horton interrupted him. "Very well, Reed, take your seat. Crawford, you may continue the explanation." Crawford stumbled to his feet with a confused glance at the teacher. "I--er--don't know exactly where Reed left off, sir," he stammered. "If you had been paying attention you would have known. Failure, Crawford. Freeman, you may continue," said Mr. Horton. Freeman--a slender, pale-faced boy--occupied the seat directly in front of Crawford's. He rose promptly and began where Reed had left off, but in a moment he stopped, the color rose in his face, he hesitated, stammered and dropped back into his seat, saying, "I can't do it, sir." Mr. Horton, whose eyes had been on some restless boys in another part of the room, turned around with a glance of surprise. Freeman was not an especially quick scholar, and his frequent absences on account of illness kept him from taking the rank in the class that his steady work would otherwise have secured for him, but a failure was a rare thing for him. "I think you can do that, Freeman. Try again," said the teacher.
