ference OF f%orty-seven days. In ON
states the difference is much greater
than this average. In many counties
the average length OF the rural
school term IL less than n hun

night to rejoin his beloved, like a new

and stumbled out of the garden and to
the junction with the cross street. But
nowhere in the compass of their per-
spectiveo could he see anything that
