NOTICES 



WINIFRED SACKVILLE STONER. JR. 

 ING TO THE "KIDDIES." 



RE An- 



Sonnet. 



[On visiting the birthplace of William 

 Cullen Bryant.] 



BY HAROLD GORDON HAWKINS, WESTFIELD, MASS. 



Majestic hills and towering fragrant pines — 



These are the fittest monuments for him 



Who told of forests, shadowy and dim, 



And mighty hills, in genius prompted lines. 



Soft on the land a golden splendor shines 



As the red sun rests on a mountain's rim, 



While tired Nature chants her evening hymn, 



And twittering birds seek shelter in the 



vines. 



With scenes like this fair Nature did embue 



The poet of these hills with silent awe 



And reverence for her majesty and power. 

 And from companionship with her he drew 

 A faith that only such a mind might draw, 

 And give the world, to face Death's bitter 

 hour. 



Rogues and Mimics. Sweetest Singers. By 

 Winifred Sackville Stoner, Jr. Ann 

 Arbor, Michigan: Educators Associa- 

 tion. 

 This young member of The Agassiz As- 

 sociation knows how r to interest her little 

 friends and other small people everywhere. « 

 These articles are delightfully expressed 

 and attractively illustrated. We cordially 

 recommend them. The illustration of the 

 author as she tells the stories to the chil-|§ 

 dren is especially attractive, and makes one 

 desirous to become a member of the com- 

 pany in front of this young lecturer to hear 

 what she is saying. 



Human Nature. By George Scoville Ham- \f 

 lin. Xew York City : The Knicker- 

 bocker Press. 

 The teaching of the author is that through 

 the union of religion and science, a fuller 

 understanding may arise in regard to "Man's 

 Place in Nature," and thus enable us con- 

 sciously to use a law that will more fully care 

 for the future well-being of humanity. 



The graceful little gull-boats, 

 Afloat on the tranquil bay, 



Will soon be spreading their pinions, 

 And swiftly soaring away. 



— Emma Peirce.
