Shall we not seek II. and weep no more!

And the nrenies dance through the myrtle pouB"s'
Not there. not there my child.
"Is II where the feathery pa I'm trees RISE
And the date grows ripe under sunny SKIES
or midst the green Islands. on gnttering seas
Where fragrant forests perfume the breeze.
And strange bright birds. on their starry wings,
dear the rich hues Of all glorious things!
Not there. not there my child!
is II far away In some region old. ,
Where the rivers wander DER sands or gold!
Where the burning rays OF the ruby shine.
And the diamond lights up the secret mine, ,
And the pearl CLEANS forth from the coral strand
Is II there sweet mother. that better lana
Not there. not there. my child.
eve hath not seen II. my gentle boy!
Ear hath not heard its deep songs OF Joy!
dreams cannot picture a world so fair
sorrow and death may not enter there
rhine doth not breathe on Its fadeless DOOM
Far beyond the clouds and beyond the tomb.
II is there. II Is there my child,

THE DAYS GOSSIP.

The Industrial Schools Of the Children's Aid So
ciety closed yesterday with appropriate exercises
The society intends to engraft more manual train
ing work on the regular school system, and 10
form moro truan: classes in those quarters OF the
city where the greatest truancy exists. The re-
suits obtained in these classes already In operation
in the society's schools are most gratifying, ana
show beyond doubt that such classes properly
managed not only attract and hold the most care
less pupils, but give them training and love
for school work that would be impossible under
less favorable surroundings. The progress thus
made by the pupils in behavior and mental Inn
provement abundantly justifies the belief that the
"truant can be redeemed"
In connection with each school there Is large
kindergarten in charge Of trained and experienced
teachers.

HOME AND SCHOOL
The paper OF the morning THE Relation
OF Homo and School," and was read by DR.. Walter
b. Gupnison. Of Brooklyn. DR.. Gunnison thinks
that the little country school possesses advantages
which the moro pretentious city institution does
not In the former the teacher knows the pupils
and knows the parents and there are no grades
to retard the progress Of gifted pupils and to hurry
the SLOW ones. In the city school these conditions
are. OF necessity. changed. and the aim Of Dr. Gum
nisons paper was to consider whether something
could not be done to restore the lost advantage
Smaller classes. he said would be a step in the
right direction and the audience testified BY loud
applause that 1t agreed with him. To bring the
parents and teachers together he suggested teach
ers' Eat home days ard parents meetings This
has been tried in Brooklyn. and, although the par
ents are not apt to be enthusiastic about It at first
1t has produced excellent results I'm the cases in
which they have been induced to try it. DIR. Gun
nison does not think II advisable to encourage par
ents to visit the school during working hours
Other meetings were held by the grammar school,

The music section met in the chapel Immediately

Alfred T. Schauffler chairman Of the Committee
on Music. presided and read a paper by Miss
Emile c. Curtiss on THE Child Voice." while Miss
Curtiss illustrated It with class Of Bohemian
children from the Jones Memorial School. Miss
Curtiss believes In developing the sweet high voice
OF children and not letting them the rough
chest tones. She never lets them sing below f.
and they start at the top of the scale and sing
downward. child trained in this way, Miss
Curtiss says. loses the capacity to sing In d rough
voice. One Of the boys she had with her left the
school two years ago. and has had no vocal train
ing since. but his voice has not deterlorated. An
other had no singing voice at all to begin with, but
has succeeded in developing one. tiny but sweet.
The children concluded their exhibition by singing
a sweet little song called THE Beautiful Sea
Maiden"
