A SHARP IDEA!

                 A SHARP IDEA!

   Today we are remembering a man who

most of you have never heard of but who

had a major impack in the world of

education. He wasn't a professor. He was,

by trade, a carpenter! But he was also an

inventor! His name was John Lee Love.

 And on this day, in 1897, he

patened an invention that has been used

in the educational system ever since. It

was the hand cranked pencil sharpener!!

I've used one many a time. But I must

admit is was another invention, by

scientist Joseph Priestley, that helped

me get through school. It was on the other

end of those pencils. The eraser! Hope

you're sharp as ever and that all your

NEWS is good.
