A Walk Throuah the Woods.

Open your eyes the next time you go on a visit to the woods and you will be surprised to know how many things you will see and hear. The bright colored leaves and flowers form a pretty picture for the eyes.
 The air is full of insects, the crickets chirp, and the beautiful butterflies can be seen flying through the bright sum- mer air.
 Added to this can be observed the different kinds of birds and trees, shrubs and mosses. All this and count less other objects can be observed,
 Where an minimizing person win see nothing, an observing one can see many things.

POETRY.
THE BRAVE LITTLE CHAMPION.

! ain't afeard uv snakes, or toads. or bugs, or worms, or mice, An things at girls are skeered uv l e think are awful nicei Pm pretty brave, I guess; an yet l 7 hate to go to bed, For. when I'm tucked up warm an 7 snug an when my prayers are said, Mother tells me Happy dreams!" z and takes away the light An leaves me lyin' all alone an sec ing things at night! It is tempting to quote the little mans whole story:
 Lucky thing I ain't a girl, or I'd be sl5eered to death! Being I'm boy, l duck my head an hold my breath.

InfanfiIe Paralysis,
Norwich.

Dear Uncle Jed:-Do you know in- fantiIe paralysis is 8 very DE mur- derer? It kills all the little children it can find. am very much afraid of infantfle paralysis and will not dare to go near it. I kill all the flies see so infantile paralysis will not come near children.
 Children are killed by infantile par alysis and it makes school begin late. It kills thousands and thousands of children.
 Policemen on the watch all the time to see if children are tn the cars, teams and automobiles.
 Infantile paralysis took many loving children away from loving mothers and fathers.
 InfantiIe paralysis is a disease which will last till there isn't any more flies and then it won't be so

My Fishing Trip,

One Sunday afternoon my father, my older brother and myself went fishing.
 We took q boat and rowed, up the river a little, then started to fish.
 My brother was the first to got a bite It was a perch. As he was talk ing it off the hook he dropped it on the seat of the boat and then it Topped into the river again.
 My father then pulled out a sucker, but released him as these fish were not good to eat so late in the season. At four o'clock, after fishing about two hours and a half, we went home with two bass, one picllerel and about one dozen perch.

The Apple.

In the time of Columbus there were no apple trees. After awhile people from Asia brought some here and now there are apple trees all over the United States.
 There are apple trees on about every farm.
 When we sell apples we should not cheat the people who buy them. Sometimes people who sell apples in good ones in the middle of the barrel. Sometimes they put a stoveptpe in the middle of the barrel.
 When apples are sold in closed pack ages they should be of four grades: Fancy grade; the Standard A No. 1 grade; the Standard B No. 2 grade, and the UnClassificd grade.

How to Make Fudde.

To make fudge you use: Two cups of sugar two squares of chocolate, one half cup of milk. Stir all together and boil five minutes stirring constantly; take it from the stove and beat till thick and creamy; turn out on wax paper to cool. Nuts, CoCoanut, or chopped raisins may be added; either makes it delicious.
 Hope some Of the Wide-Awakes will try this.

provide wise exercise for bis ca

TEACHERS COURSES POPULAR

Two new courses launched this
year have become very popular with
the advanced students. the course
in Teachers Arithmetic under Pro
fessor Calfee. and the course in
Teachers English under Professor
Smith. More than fifty students
have enrolled in these classes and
the numbers are still growing.
During the last two years the work
in Mathematics and in English has
been undergoing reorganization in
order Ia meet the needs Of the ru-
raj teacher better than ever before.
The special teachers courses are the
result Of this reorganization. and
the number Of students who have
elected these courses is an evidence
81 the demand for such work.
The organized material for the
Teachers English will continue to
appear in the Citizen during the
spring and will be published in a
handy volume later in the season.
The object in view in the prepare
ton of this volume is to meet a real
need Of the teacher in the country
school.
