the fullness of their lives. We are not asking the teacher to foster these 

 Farm Boys' and Girls' clubs, entirely, because her part of the work will be 

 largely to teach agricultural subjects in the schoolroom. We want her 

 to help us to interest some farm, man or woman in the neighborhood, through 

 whom we can reach the boys and girls during the entire year. We shall 

 therefore organize these clubs under the patronage of a permanent resident 

 of the community. 



QUOTATIONS. 



Summer fading, winter comes, 

 Frosty mornings, tingling thumbs, 

 Window robins, winter rooks, 

 And the picture story books ! 



— Robert Louis Stevenson. 



God makes sech nights, all white and still 



Fur 'z you can look or listen, 

 Moonshine an' snow on field an' hill. 



All silence an' all glisten. 



— James Russell Lowell. 



Down swept the chill wind from the mountain peak, 

 « 4i * 



It carried a shiver everywhere 

 From the unleafed boughs and pastures bare; 

 The little brook heard it and built a roof 

 'Neath which he could house him, winter-proof. 



No mortal builder's most rare device 

 Could match this winter-palace of ice ; 

 'Twas as if every image that mirrored lay 

 In his depths serene through the summer day, 

 Each fleeting shadow of earth and sky. 

 Lest the happy model should be lost. 

 Had been mimicked in fairy masonry 

 By the elfin builders of the frost. 



— Lowell.
