THE SATURDAY LESSON 'Twas Saturday. The leaves were brown Upon the lawns. With scowling frown Jim, squatted on the step, could hear The pavement hockey game that near And far drew racing kids as though They'd heard a fire siren blow. Oh, Jimmy, get your stick! cried Pete, A moment halting urgent feet. 'tl got none. Jimmy cupped his jaw. Then, beg a quarter from your ma. CTwas in those days when dough was doughj Said Jim, returning, g'She says, 'No!'. Then sneak your brother Sid's , said Joe, His big league goalie, he'll not know. The cellar side-door creaked and cried, And came a thundering voice inside, Here! Where you going with that stick? Said Pete to Joe, Let's beat it quick! 'tWhy don't you rake some lawns? said Sime. They pay a nickel or a dime. By four o'clock three patches green Upon the long brown street were seen. At half-past four Jim came full tear A new white hockey stick in air. That winter Jimmy shovelled snow And earned a pair of skates, I know. And now is making good, they tell. But that day, just as evening fell, Gee! But it's great , I heard him say, We don't have lessons, Saturday. -HARRY AMOSS. Director of Professional Training. AM HAPPY to extend greetings to the graduates of the Peterborough Normal School.

Staff Messages Our fate and our destiny as free societies are now bound up with what we are able to do in education more completely and more decisively than they have ever been. Everything is going to depend now upon the kind of citizen we can produce. - Sir Fred Clarke. Blessed-which is to say, happy-is the person who has won the confidence of a boy or girl, and, with the Wisdom of maturity, has helped the youngster feel his or her way along to become a worthy citizen. May each of you find happiness thus. -F. B. SMITHERAM. Education should be as gradual as the moonrise: perceptible not in progress but in result. - George Whyte-Melville. -G. L. WOODRUFF. Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace, where there is hatred, let me sow love, where is injury, pardon, where there is doubt, faith, Where there is despair, hope, Where there is darkness, light, and Where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to consoleg to be understood, as to understand, to be loved, as to love, for it is in giving that We receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. -St. Francis of Assisi. -OLGA I. JOHNSTON. Music cleanses the understanding, inspires it, and lifts it into a realm which it would not reach if it were left to itself. - Henry Ward Beecher. -Q. MCKINNEY. As a race we produce a considerable percentage of persons in each generation who have the intellectual and moral qualities for the moral and intellectual inspiration of others, for the organization and administration of our gigantic economic and intellectual machinery, and for invention and creation. I believe that We lose a large portion of those who could join these ranks because we fail to find them, to train them rightly, to create character in them and to inspire them to effort. Our teachers are necessarily the army of inspectors in our Nation who must find these individuals and who must stimulate them forward. Wishing you every success. -GEORGE E. MUNRO. Page Six
