take as much interest in trying to make a loaf of good bread as in making 

 embroidery and the like. We wish all teachers would read the article 

 page 1 80, to the children that they may learn what a live subject bread- 

 making is. The Editor has eaten bread made in Miss Rose's laboratory 

 and knows how good and wholesome it is. When an entire class of 

 girls can produce good bread in this laboratory it proves that good bread 

 is not the result of luck but of knowledge. We want to interest girls in 

 bread-making. The recipe for making bread will be printed again in the 

 May Leaflet for Boys and Girls. The children should be taught in the 

 schoolroom some of the scientific facts concerning bread-making. 



Forestry. — The subject of forestry is of great interest at the present 

 day to persons in the United States. The children on the farm should 

 begin to think about forests. Mr. Herbert A. Smith of the Forest 

 Service at Washington has called for volunteers among the young per- 

 sons of New York State in the interest of forestry. Teachers will be 

 doing a most excellent thing for some of the boys in their classes if they 

 will read this article and then discuss the question so that the young 

 persons may understand it more fully. It will be an opportunity for 

 some of our boys and girls to volunteer in the Forest Service at Wash- 

 ington. It may open a field of work that will be useful to them in the 

 years to come. 



Pictures for the Children. — We wish that each teacher would send us 

 a list of the children in her class who have earned a picture for, sending 

 letters to the College. The teacher's list will help us to avoid mistakes 

 which are likely to happen with our very large correspondence. If 

 your pupils have written three letters we shall be glad to know it and 

 will forward pictures at once. 



Mailing list for next year. — As soon as teachers can send us their 

 address for next year we wish they would do so. Their names will 

 then be on the mailing list for the first issue of the Rural School Leaflet. 

 The mailing list is made up at the beginning of each school year. We do 

 not supply persons on the old list unless they make a request for 

 the coming year. 



What's a flower? A bit of brightness 

 Sprung unconscious from the sod, 



Yet it lifts us in its Hghtness 

 From our earthliness to God."
