Through Nature 



Away from the stir and bustle, 



The noise of the town left behind : 



Vacation for sport and muscle, 

 The winter for study and mind. 



There's never a need to worry, 

 There's never a lesson to learn, 



There's never a bell to hurry, 

 There's never a duty to spurn. 



So play till the face grows ruddy 



And muscles grow bigger, and then 



Go back to the books and study ; 

 We'll find it as pleasant again. 



Frank Dempster Sherman. 



Here we are at school again after a vacation. 

 Let us hear what you have been doing. 

 Where did you spend your vacation ? 



Tell about the work that you did and the games that you 

 played. 



Describe the game you liked best. 



If you went away from home, give an account of your trip. 



Where did you go ? 



How did you travel? 



Who went with you ? 



Tell about the most interesting thing you saw. 



Make a picture showing which of the things mentioned in the 

 poem you would most like to do.
