You were frightened. So was !.
So you strolled along the terrace,
Saw the summer moonlight pour
All its radiance on the waters
As they rippled on the shore;
Till at length you gathered courage,
When YOU saw that none were uigh--
Did you draw her close and tell her
That you loved her? So did |.
Well, needn't ark you further,
And Pm sure ] wish you joy.

We believe The Introduction OF this

better attendance. ~ that the pupils
will learn more-snd that more thor.
oughly-in The same length Of time,
go We will get the cooperation OF
more patrons than We nov have, whose
corporation is nearly as necessary as
the teachers work. aud a. that it will
raise the scholarship Of our teachers TO
higher standard.
When tic pupils once agree 20 try TO
complete the course, they will use eve.
~ means TO get parents to let them at
tend regularly. and no parent who cares
at all for the success OF his Guild will
keep him home for many little thing.

To show further how the pupils will
be advanced by the introduction Of this
system, l will quote again from Mr.
Wade's report.
Mr.. Wade gathers his fucts from ex.
perience, and for that reason We can
5e.tcr credit What he says than If his
plan was mere theory. He says.
