68 AGEICULTUEE AND EURAL-LIFE DAY, 



THE GOLDEN WINDOWS. 

 (By Laura E. Richards. Little, Brown & Co.) 



WHEN THE WOELD WAS YOUNG. 



(By Elizabeth V. Brown.) 



These two books liave some good inatenal and hints for vivid story-telling 

 and play. 



 A good juvenile nature drama of more length and elaborateness Is Mou- 

 damiu: The First Harvest of Indian Corn. By Harry N. Bauni (Atlantic 

 Educational Journal, Baltimore, September and October, 1911). This has 

 ample stage directions and clear assignment of parts. Part I Is The Planiing 

 of the Corn; Part II is The Blessing of the Corn Fields; and Part III Is The 

 Reaping of the Corn Fields. Either part is complete enough in itself to be 

 used alone.

QUOTATIONS. 



And he gave it for his opinion that whoever could make two ears of corn or 

 two blades of grass to grow upon a spot of grourid where one grew before would 

 deserve better of mankind and do more essential service to his country than 

 the whole race of politicians put together. 



-Dean Swift. 



The year's at the spring 

 And day's at the morn, 

 Morning's at seven. 

 The hillside's dew pearletl ; 

 The lark's on the wing; 

 The snail's on the thorn ; 

 God's in his heaven ; 

 All's right with the world. 



-Browning. 



And lo ! in a flash of crimson splendor, with blazing scarlet clouds running 

 before his chariot and heralding his majestic approach, God's sun rises upon 

 the world. 



— \V. M. Thackeray.
