This simple fact, so glad in itself, 

 so obvious to one who keeps his 

 eyes open in Nature's world, is men- 

 tioned here by way of invitation 

 to assure the reader if he but enter 

 this School of the Woods, he will 

 see little of that which made his 

 heart ache in his own sad world; 

 no tragedies or footlight effects of 

 woes or struggles but rather a 

 wholesome, cheerful life to make 

 one glad and send him back to his 

 own school with deeper wisdom and 

 renewed courage. WILLIAM J. 

 LONG, School of the Woods.
