The trip across tho country had
been dlled with surprices
In fact the plan 20 so. the prcpara-

suddenly that Grace Raynor cSpeciod
that she would awake to find this al
a dream the same dream that had
been with her since childhood that
she should really be taking this long
anticipated trip 20 the Pacific coast
seemed impossible.
AS thc train Slipped through the
everchangiing line Of scenery her
mind travelled backward to the events
which had gradually brought about
this change IN her life
Grace Raynor was am orphan.
She had lived with her Aunt
Martha for years. She had always
worked The world OF work was an
She knew outside OF her waking
hours. She was thoroughly business
like as a young woman and when She
entered the Office OF the big electrical
company as a stenographer she had
al once attracted the attention OF the
manager because OF her alertncss
/ and her quick grasp OF the details OF
! the business.
] II had been a dull and Improbable
season for Grace before she went TO
4 this company She had read a Want
/ Ad in a paper and had answered it,
not expecting that it would mean
anything more than temporary
position.
But after She had accepted The
place she remained. and had grown
up with the business. so that now she
was really at the head of the office
and knew its system thoroughly.
Then her aunt had died aud her
\ life seemed very lonely. She sold OH
the household furniture, for it SEEM
cd to her that ON one part of her life
door had closed forever that new
life had opened for her and then had
come the opportunity 10 take charge
OF the companys Office in a western
city and she was chosen TO take
charge OF the detail of the work and
assist the manager In organizing the
same system which had worked 50
well in the eastern city
She had reviewed her progress
{ with infinite care, and out Of each new
p circle of events, with conscientiou:

The Content and Function Of Botany In the High School
Woodberry

Darwin and Huxley, can be reduced TO
simple terms, and no true study of life
processes would be complete without
the great congratulations of EACH
The great principles of adaptation Of
form to function, of relation to enyi
ronment and laws of survival can be
learned in the study of leaves and flow
ers. The study of tissue irritability Of
liquid pressure and absorption. or de-
pendence on air, water and warmth, all
develop an appreciation on the uni
versal of the organic kingdom.
The subject of systematic botany,
so called, it would seem, should be
subordinated to the great problems of
function and growth OF microscopic
and gross structure. of fertilization and
food materials-an agricultural and
physiological botany rather than
herbarium--if choice must be made.
it would seem preferable to know these
great functions that make US better
understand life, rather than certain
facility in nomenclature and classifiea-
ton.
The division of topics would natural
the temptation is strong to linger too
long on the towering plants and pines,
to the exclusion of the great world Of
algae and fungi, with the practical in
terest in molds, dust bacteria, disease
germs and principles of sanitation and
health
This affords such interesting oppor-
tunities for cultures specimens. and
never lacks in interest
The study of local plant societies, on
a field trip, has not alone the advan-
tage of training the observation in
plant life. but when taken somewhat
late in the course gives a vivid knowl
edge of ones own plant surroundings.
and a bird's-eye view as it were OF
plant development and evolution.
