J. READ, 1 ... The school pupils are now getting toward the end of the school year, and many teachers would say the spring term is the hardest. There is so nruch outdoors in these lovely spring days to tempt the pupils to all kinds of enjoyments, baseball and the rest of the games are starting up, so it.is hard to pnt their minds on their work. Some of them who took hold last fall with a resolution to make good, find their enthusiasm has evaporated month by month, and the weeks seem to drag along until vacation time. Some teachers have a marvelous gift for keep ing np the enthusiasm of their pupils, but it re quires a very vivacious and animated personality to drag along pupils who are more interested in something else. These pupils need to keep it in mind that everything possible is done for them to make their study easy. They are young and strong* and able to do a lot of work. Under our present school eya- terns they get long vacations, a great deal longer than they will have a few years later when they go to work. So they may well expect to do their best to learn their lessons during the relatively short period of the school working year. . It may seem rather hard to study on languid spring days when the weather grows warm and ** spring fever** attacks them. I f they study faith fully and thoroughly, the work becomes easier. When people take hold and learn to do a job of work well, their proficiency makes it seem interest ing to them. When a student has thoroughly master ed a certain principle of arithmetic, he takes satis faction in his power over it, and he goes on to the next thing with some pleasure. Every task well done makes the next erne easier and more in teresting. • The Old Timers’ Gardens Old fashioned villages had many wonderful flower gardens. Although the people of former days worked harder than we do now, many of them found'time to cultivate flowers. These people lived extremely toilsome fives, and some would say they had little imagination. But their love for flowers was one spot wherto they had a great deal of sentiment, and many of their little old homes were perfect bowers of beauty. In many localities one finds rains of the early homes of the first settlers, where nothing is left but remnant« of a chimney or cellar hole. But very frequently* around these relics are old fashioned shrubs, still growing and giving out blossoms, showing how these old folks loved their flowers. If our modem people would decorate their homes as prettily as they did* many of our towns would look m an attractive today. Modern Flower Culture Any family in Aahland that will lay plans to improve its grounds this spring by setting out new flowering shrubs or flower beds, will be entitled to the thanks of its own neighborhood and of its home City. jU e communities that have made it their practice t o encourage people to raise flowers, have gained so enormously by this policy, that their ex ample should be generally emulated. Many of our folks aay they are too busy to care for flowers. But perhajis they have not realised wliat a pleasure it is to have a lo t of bright flower faces on the lawn. It is a kind of spiritual tonic, on those days when we come home tired. These flowers seem to say, “ Cheer up, for the world is bright, and we aré going to make some more sun- MANAGINQ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------ MDI tor ----------------- ■ .
