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-
