t tXlXXt: THE beautiful Spring days are approaching and tlie gentle goddess imIis the student from the College walls to Go out under the op?n skies and list to Nature ' s teachings . As she leads him through winding paths into the forest he sees the trees budding, the blades of grass jieeping out among the dead leaves and the first spring beaiities making their modest appearance. He hears the notes of the robin and the cardinal, and listens to the roar of the water as it dashes down over the falls.
