SENTIMENT AND SENSE OF TREE

es, but the best poems l have produced
are the trees | AVE planted on the hill

In the recurring measures OF the sea-
sons, winter strips them of their orna-
ments and gives them. as it were. in prose
translation. and summer reclothes them

day, April ., as Arbor day, refers TO
both the sentimental and practical sides
of tree planting when he says that trees
shall b. growing symbols Of freedom,
prosperity and peace, and shall become
both memorials of the day and a happy
heritage to future generations
Vermont landowners, whether of farms
or of small homes, will do well to OBJ
serve the annual Arbor day in a spirit
both of poetry and practically. 1t is a
satisfaction to regard the renewed interest
or rather the unprecedented interest in
this State in reforestation.

its greatest resources will continue TO he
timber. These resources have not been
conserved as they should ave been. The
slaughter Of trees has gone on for many
years ruth'essly and with no thought OF
the morrow. But happily the movement is
well under way of restoring past waste
and Of cutting timber along sensible and
scientific lines,
The Vermont citizen to-day can do no
moro useful service for the oncominG
generations than to plant trees where
they will be unmolested for years to come.

THE YOUNG GIRLS NERVES
Nature Never Intended That She Should
Know She Had Any.

Most persons who live in large cities
work too hard and play too hard. The re-
suits, an exhausted nervous system, is
pitiful enough in the middle aged, but II
is tragic in the young,
Nature never intended a young girl TO
know that she has any nerves, And vet
we are constantly hearing, SAYS the
Youths companion, that some young
girl has broken down" Overstudy gets
the blame much oftener than too much
amusement. but in most cases there are
several causes at work; necessary school
work. unnecessary and silly dissipation
and an Inherited nervous system that is
feeble.
\ mother who has herself become a
nervous bankrupt cannot bequeath strong
nerves to her daughters. She must learn
that only the wisest management will
bring them to healthy womanhood at all.
The strain of getting a modern educa-
ton is all that most young girls can
stand. School duties ought to occupy al
most all the time that is left from an
solutely necessary rest, sleep and relax
alton in the open air. If the girl adds
parties and dances with their late hours
and late supper, she depletes her re-
serve force rapidly and some degree CT
nervous breakdown is sure to follow. She
Is fortunate whose mother is old fash
toned enough to think it wrong for
schoolgirls to take part in that sort Of
dissipation.
Economic conditions obliEe many young
girls to earn their living, and they, too,
must learn that the candle cannot be
burned at both ends. The very young
and very strong may be able to stand
all day behind a counter and then spend
half the night in dancing, but the women
who rise to be heads of departments are
not found among the dancers.

And watched. a little to the left, the

Downstairs the kitchen stove was lit,
and many a SAVIOR course

Across the blue and dancing waves a
