NORMAL SCHOOL LONDON ONTARIO MISS N. HEFFERNAN Secretary. Neither hear nor tell secrets. Pine Burn, wood of the forest, burn, And let the fire be bright, That from your burning I may learn Of witchery and night. Flame, wood of the forest, flame. That from your smoking blase Romantic visions I may frame, And shape from out the haze. What future kings have passed you by, What ventures you must know, What pride of you has rent the sky, You, who so warmly glow? Even your ashes and yous coals Are fragrant with the breath Of mvriads of val ' rous souls You showed the way to health. Margaret E. Plewes MISS L. GAHAN Librarian. Come and take choice of all my library, And beguile thy sorrow. Shakespeare.

Can We See Beyond the Chrysalis? 1 STOOD gazing out of the window, but saw nothing beyond its pane. I was toying idly with an irregular shaped piece of something that looked more than anything like nothing in particular. It was a dull brown object. But if one observed closely one might see tiny golden spots that would suggest its hidden value. Harry had brought it to me, and asked What is it? To get rid of him ' I had rather hastily explained that it was a chrysalis, and would someday develop into a butterfly. Other questions had started on his lips, but my manner had been so discouraging that he had left me to idleness. As I moved to put the boy ' s find into a box, the wish came that I had been more generous with him. The little urchin had seen only the ugly covering. Disappointment had been evident in every lineament of his face. Whose fault was it? He was not the only one who had not seen beyond an unlovely exterior. My vision had been even shorter than his. True, the child was not attractive. His hands were always grubby; his hair as if it had never stooped to the acquaintance of a comb. Patheti- cally upright it stood, although some straggling pieces consented to lean on their neighbours. His clothes appeared as if thrown on, rather than put on with any care. Why waste my noon hour replying to his inquiries? But regrets welled up within me. An opportunity had been lost. His active inquiring mind had sent him to me. What possibilities for develop- ment of hidden genius lay behind his smeared appearance! Resolution filled me. Never again should I be guilty of such short- sightedness. As consolation came the words, Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. Before my eyes floated the selection: Look to this day! For it is life, the very life of life. In its brief course lie all the varieties and realities of our existence. The bliss of growth, The glory of action. The splendour of beauty. For yesterday is already a dream And tomorrow is only a vision; But today, well-lived makes every yesterday, A dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day! Such is the salutation of the dawn! 1 thought of the old Persian philosopher dipping his pen in the golden ink of life. Those words penned centuries ago had helped me today. He had seen through his dark age to a newer life. That opportunity may not knock, and pass us by, may we as successful Normalites have the vision. It will be our privilege to help the chrysalis unfold into the moth. The challenge is Can We See Beyond the Chrysalis? Nora I. Ferris. Page Eleven
