May 9Th to go to Miller School. We
had to drive about fifteen miles. and
arrived there at 10 o'clock. We went
through the main building first in

OF the teachers rooms. Then we went
to see the flowers. and they We're beau

After that We watched the boys and
girls march in to dinner and such a
noise as they made when they turned
over their plates. We went out on
the grounds and had our dinner, too.
After dinner we went into the work
shop to sec the boys making furniture.
They played hall later on. The girls

yard. We saw some of them learning
TO cook. We loft for home about s
o'clock, after spending n delightful day.

get dark, they tried to go home but
could not find their way. After while
it was dark, and they layed down
to try to- go to sleep. But Alice cried
so that they could not. Ralph tried 10
stop her, but she kept on crying until
she fell asleep. When morning came
their mother had sent some one to look
for them, Land In the middle Of the day

A FISHING VOYAGE.

1t was windy day. when on the
beach of one of the little cities of Hol-
land We're assembled men. women and
children, all looking toward the ocean.
On the ocean there was a ship comm 8
toward the shore. The ship was gone
on a,.fishing voyage and when it got
into the ocean big storm arose and
drove the ship far from the shore into
the big ocean. For three months the
ship was on the ocean, and the people
thought that all the people which were
on the ship We're drowned, but after
three months they saw the ship coming
to the shore. They ran to the shore
and cried a shout of joy.

The Voice of Mature.

Eanemulne, the god OF song. dwelt
on the Hill of Tiara. But he grew
tired of living In Finland and OF his
beautiful hill. so he sent word for
all things to come to him to receive
the language they we're to speak before
he went away to his palace In the sky.
AS they gathered around him. he
opened his lips and sang so sweetly
that the murmur of his harp strings
seemed almost harsh as compared with
the music of his rich voice. The wan
dering winds. who listened afar off,
caught and remembered only the loud
est tones. The sacred stream that
flows around this hill chose for its
Language the rustling of the s!lken
garments which moved upon his shout
ders as he played. The listening trees
OF the forest heard the rushing Of his
flowing mantle rs he descended from
his throne on the hill. Ever since this
has been the language OF treetops.
Nanemuino sang OF love and spring
time. The happy lark heard and UNI
song shA sings over and over with
each returning morning While every
thing clue was being made so happy
the poor fishes We're having a sad time
They could not leave the water to go
TO the Hill OF Tara, but they stretched
their heads out of the brook, but keep,
their ears under So they saw vane-
muine move his lips, but heard moth
ing; they did as he did. but made no
sound. To this day poor, dumb fishes
move their lips, but speak no language.
Nanemuine sang of the glory of heav-
en- and beauty OF earth. He sang of
the waters and of the leaves. Only
the men and women who stood close
around this hill understood everything
ne sung That Is why human voices
moro ,han others can thrill us and
make us see the beautiful and true,

MARCH.

Old March, with Its mighty winds. Is
It is the third mouth Of our new year,
And we welcome it with JOY and Will
For it is the hrst month of spring.
1T is the time when the grass starts
And after this we seldom have snow:
The leaves put out their tiny stems.
And cover with green leaves the lars-
est of limbs.
The flowers come out to see the sun.
And the children go out to play and
The birds begin to chirp and sing.
For this is the beginning OF welcome
spring.
