Collections during Vacation. 191 



collect in some one line each summer. I have sometimes 

 tried this. One summer it was grasses ; another sedges ; 

 two years ago it was manufactures in various stages ; last 

 year fresh-water shells. The coming summer it will be 

 mosses. 



Of course, any and all things accessible should be taken, 

 but it is often well to have some particular hobby to ride 

 each summer. 



Under such a course as the above the teacher will find 

 herself broadening ; she will see beauties where she never 

 saw them before ; her ideas of nature and nature's marvel- 

 lous plan will be more accurate. And filled with the new 

 impulse that comes of having drawn inspiration from the 

 fountain-head, she will enter upon her fall term full of zeal, 

 and new knowledge and power. Let the champion of the 

 three R's try it and see.
