EDUCATIONAL G0LUM N.
SOME COMMON FLOWERS.
Conducted by b. S. Gowen.


Acting on the theory that every
thing which is beautiful tends to give
beauty to character, / have had the
pupils give a great deal of attention to
flowers. But even If it should have no
refining influence. still, the time is
we'll spent, for, when boys an d
girls become interested in flowers,
they have something to occupy their
leisure moments, even though they are
alone in the fields or woods Without
such interest, and hence without such
occupation, their idle time will be
spent in some other way-perhaps
some questionable way.
But merely the reason that the stu
dy is SO interesting, SO fascinating,
think sufficient.
My pupils have found some very in
teresting things ABOUT some very COM
mon flowers, and things too, that are
not very generally known.
First take the dogwood blossom. 1t
is not one blossom, but about twenty
five blossoms. Look in the center, and
you will find at least two dozen per-
feet little flowers.
4 4 4
Next, the clover blossom, so-called.
is not a clover blossom at all, bat Sew
enty-five clover blossoms.
4 4 4
The dandelion, one of the common
est, and most unnoticed flowers is one
of the most peculiar. There are two
hundred and twenty five in one. Each
bears one seed, and that seed has
wings that it may fly away and find a
new home. These wings all together,
make the silky ball left after the yell
low is shed. Dandelions make pretty
good clocks, as they open about the
same time every morning, and close
about the same time at night-5:3o a.
m, and $50 p. IN, being the times.
\ y y
There is a weed that grows along
the ways:de, usually called white
top" that is one of the best examples
of the composite family" the family
with many flowers in one. It's num-
Der is four hundred and sixty-fve-the
highest number we have found, but
isn't that high enough? My pupils
have counted all these flowers, SO they
will defend these statements.
& 4 4
We have all been very much inter-
ested in the study of the violet We
heard of school that had found sew
en- different kinds Wondering if we
could find SO many around here we
agreed to try; and instead of seven,
we found nineteen. The only chance
for a mistake, is for some of them to
be freaks instead of regular types
\ \ \
In order to beautify the yard and
make the plac, more home-like for
the pupils. l suggested that all who
wanted to, could contribute whatever
amount he might wish, and we would
buy flower seeds and bulbs, to suit all
seasons, SO we might have flowers all
the year round, as nearly as possible.
l supplemented the amount the pupils
raised. by giving several dollars my
SELF. The interest they have shown,
the family-like spirit it has brought
about has fully repaid me, even without
enjoyment of the flowers themselves.
| only hope the pupils Will continue to
show the same interest after l am
gone, that they have shown recently.

port is very full. giving unanswera-
Bile reasons. in detail. why the bin
should be passed The following ex-
tract from the report fully explains
the nature of the bill. 1.-THE bill fixes
no maximum strength for the whole
army. Assuming that the gov
ernment will require about lOO. 900
men for the defense of the frontier,
for coast defense and to maintain our
authority IN the islands for whose
good order and government this ma
tion is now responsible, together with
a reasonable reserve force. The bill
provides for the requirements of cav
airy and infantry, the number re-
quired for each arm of the service,
and corps of artillery, for our sea-
coast batteries with two regiment of
artillery for field batteries. The COM
mittee believe the organization as
provided for in this bill will make the
most efficient military organization,
at the lowest cost to the taxpayer of
any organization proposed by any bill
before Congress-" The estimated
cost, if this bill becomes d law. as
there is every reason to believe it will,
in spite of democratic opposition. Is
800, 600, 900 year. The democrats ac-
knowledge the present necessity for
all the troops the Hull bill provides
for, but in their bill, they try to whip
the devil around the stump by limit
ing the regular army to 10000 and
providing for the enlistment for two
years of $4,000 volunteers.
