Mrs. Kemp, principal Of the Perrysville
on practical Hints for the Schoolroom."
From her wide experience as teacher and
principal Mrs. Kemp culled the excellent in.
formation which marked her paper. The
appearance, order, cleanliness, ETC., of the
schoolroom were commented upon. This
lady's paper was exceedingly we'll received.
Principal Snyder, Of the Fifth ward school,
addressed himself to the subject: "Do we
teach to strengthen the mind, or to store the
mind with facts" The professor kinks too
much of the latter teaching is done. Discus
sions by the principals followed the reading
of both papers.
Delayed for Want Of Cash.
The suggestive examination questions
for the ward schools, prepared by commit
tees Of principals with the view to securing
uniformity OF school work, and which were
to be ready for tomorrow, have been de.
layed. When this plan was outlined, it was
agreed that the Central Board OF Education
should be asked to paw for the printing of
the questions. This request was not thought
of in time for the October meet ng of the
Central Board, so it will be brought up in
November.

POETRY.
Tho Bonny Birch Trees.

BY MATTE BAKER DUNN.
A II the trees of he forest
Are dear to my heart,
love them together.
love them apart
But none are so friendly,
So anxious to please
So neighborly kind.
As the bonny birch trees.
There is grandeur and strength
In the towering pine.
And the elm-tree's green foliage
Wreathes like a vine,
But in spite OF their beauty
Far dearer than these,
By wayside or woodland
love the birch trees.
The maple stands firm
As king on his throne,
But the sweet, social birch trees
Would not live alone,
They gather in cllmps,
And with friendliest ease
They lean toward each other
Like loving birch trees.
They stretch out their arms
With abeckoning crook,
They CLEAN in the sunshine
They CLINT by the brook;
They stand ia the inca low grass
Up to their knees,
And balance to partners.
These giddy birch trees.
They are white as the moonheams,
And green as the grass;
They are bold as lover,
And shy as a lass;
They laugh with the wind,
And they sing with the breeze;
For Luck is but pluck.
Say the merry birch trees.
1neV never look dark
In the gloomiest day,
They are never too sober
To froiic and play;
They are meyer ashamed
To bend their stiff knees.
And they keep their robes white
Like angelic birch trees.
They never seem cold,
Or indifferent or odd,
They are never too proud
For whisper or nod;
No hali-hearted, tair.weathcr
Lovers are these,
They are leal, true and loyal.
My kindly birch trees.
And hope il | reach
The fair land ofmy dreams,
That close by the banks
OF the crystalline streams.
Where the asphodcl blossoms
Flow sweet in the breeze,
shall see the white ghosts
OF my bonnie birch trees.
And know not " hat tenderer
Tiyst there could be,
For the hearts that love
And the hearts that love ,ne,
y Ma,n death is dream
