GREETINGS 



This is the first leaflet for boys and girls for the year 1914-1915, and we 

 wish to send you greetings. We hope that you will feel our interest in 

 all that you are during the coming year, and in all that you do. Boys and 

 girls in the country have the best opportunity for education, because where 



Identifying specimens of plants 



there are open fields and autumn colors, and wild,- sweeping winds, and 

 crops to care for and stock to feed, there is better opportunity to grow than 

 in the crowded city streets. Your lives may be deepened and enriched 

 by the out-of-doors, and by the inany farm tasks that become a joy as 

 soon as you know how to do them well. 



We hope the boys and girls in the country will have high ideals of 

 country life and will work toward bringing about their realization. 

 No one wants to live in the country in poor homes v/here there is
