O n e s N nm nm e T.
By Ada Foster Murray

June brought our gentle Anna Burns,
Whose reign was scarce two moons;
Her sanity memory oft returns
Not once our silver spoons.
Next came the hating Winnipeg
By grace called Winifred-
We could forgive her wooden leg,
But not her wooden head.
So, soon the naughty Catherine glared
Across the darkling plain;
Our stalwart village marshal dared
To drag her to the train.
Three weeks the Rose of Hungary bloomed
Beside our dusty range;
Then left her subjects abject, doomed
To chaos and to change.
Come backl Come back" we cried
in grief,
"Sub-Rosa all shall bel"
She turned as turns the whitening leaf,
Then whirled across the lea.
Since then our gates wide open stand
From weary sun to sun,
Inviting any vagrant band
Come Zulu, Slav, or Hun!

MANSFIELD'S PREDICAMENT

PICHARD MANSFIELD, who was not al
y ways in his present aff1uent and pros
porous circumstances, tells this story on
himself
Years, ago, when he was young actor in
London, continued run of bad luck left him
with exactly shilling in his pocket and
no immediate prospect of another As he
walked the streets jingling this solitary shilling
and bordering to how he could make it
last longest, joval boon companion hove in
sight, and, slapping him on the back, invited
him to drop into the nearest public-house and
have a glass of ale before taking lunch with
him. adding that it would give him a mag
nifcent appetite.
Mansfield replied that he needed no ale to
give him appetite, but that he would be
happy to join him both in ale and lunch
notwithstanding; and walked on with his
friend in the direction of the public-house,
thanking his lucky stars that he need not
break into that precious shilling, for awhile
at least.
The ale was excellent, and sharpened Mans
fields already keen appetite to appalling
degree Judge then, of his feelings, when his
friend, after rummaging in his pockets for a
minute or two. after the drinks par
taken Of turned to him and remarked
lessly
by Jove, old man! I must have left my
pocket-book somewhere. Let have a
shilling to pay for this, will your and we'll
have the lunch next time meet"
Mansfield produced the shilling, and, he
adds, he walked out of there with mag
nifcent appetite"

dependent upon geography-the two have
been partners since life began. Geography
to large extent has modified the forms of
living plants and animals as we see them
to-day; geography is the mold into
which life has been poured. Through
the illuminating assistance of nature
study we are finding safe ways of develop
ing the child's geographic imagination
and his manner of thinking of the world,
He discovers for himself that the laws
of geography are just as cogent and as
potent in the stream near the school
house, or on the side-hill above, or the
depths of the forest beyond, as they are
anywhere else in the world.
Even the primary children may learn
something of these laws through the
study of the flowers and trees the animals
and the birds, which he sees every day
He finds that life both vegetable and
animal is limited by the geographic con-
ditions of his own neighborhood. He
finds that each plant must have food,
sunlight and water in order to live, and
that each must bloom and ripen seeds
and scatter them abroad in order to sur
vive. He finds that water-plants grow
only in water, and that swampy plants
are peculiar to swamps, and that the
flora of the forests differs from that of the
meadows or the dry hillsides. And he
learns that animal life depends upon
plant life and is limited by it. Thus he
grows naturally into rational conception
of the universe.
Perhaps of all the benefits bestowed
upon the school by nature-study, one of
the greatest is the sense of companion
ship which it establishes between the
child and the teacher. The latter is
supposed to know about the other sub
iacts which she teaches, but in nature
study the boundaries of the unknown are
close even to the child investigator; and
the teacher, however we'll drilled, cannot
know about all the objects which the
child may bring in or ask about. There
fore, the wise nature-study teacher, being
obliged often to say q do not know,
uses that attitude to put herself on a
plane with her pupils as helper in their
Investigations The value of this attitude
in disciplining the school is beyond belief
to the uninltiated.
We have on file in Cornell University
hundreds of letters from teachers telling
us how nature-study has helped them in
disciplining their schools Especially has
it been of aid in dealing with truant
pupils Many rebellious boy who was
a trial to the teacher and menace to the
school has been changed to an ally to the
one and an inspiration to the other, simply
because his teacher became interested in
his experiences in field and forest and
stream, and was willing to refer to him
as an authority on the mysterious ways
of the sinner, the hawk, the woodchuck or
the squirrel Such teacher, in writing
to us of this miraculous change in her
worst boy" said she had found a new

This seemed fair enough. One of

try the experiment.
He found Van Buren,, whom he knew

"AIr. Van Buren,, some gentlemen on
