GIFTS.

When l grow gray and men shall say
to me
What was the worth of living, truly
told?
Lo! Thou hast lived thy life out: h
art old
Thou hast gathered fruit from many a
green-leaved tree.
And kissed loves lips by many a summer
sea,
And twined soft hands in locks of shining
gold,
But all thy days are dead days now, be-
hold!
Life passes onward-what is life to thee!'
Then will 1 answer, as thy gracious eyes,
Love, CLEAN upon me from dim far-otf
skies: &c..
Life had it's endless, deathless charm
That charm weaves rapture round me at
my will,
Life has it's glory-for l have seen Thee,
And roses, and June sunsets-and the
sea-"

Many years ago l was a member of a school board.
I ventured to propose regular open air drill for the chill
dren. l remember how the chairman. with a benevolent
smile, suggested that we pass on to some practical bust
hess. Something of the same sort happened when I
once complained of the fine assortment of evil gases
and human exhalations in one school where the master
was smitten with a fear of drafts and preserved each
DAVIS air carefully for use on the next.
My own blief is that not more than six hours per
diem should be devoted to sedentary work in schools,
and certainly not more than one and q half in winter
and two and a half in summer to games. The rest of
the time should be largely occupied with military drill,
with work in the gymnasiums, in the workshops, at tar
gets, in various kinds Of manual labor. or in singing

steal Instruments.

Everywhere the modern civilization has
built up on the line of least resistance. This
fact has applied to individuals no less than
to communities and to nations. To whatever
extent the individual man leads himself to
the reverse Of the universal dictum, he handi-
caps himself. There may be no physical or
mental reason why a man eight feet tall
