june 1921 THE llirienhzhip Friendship, one soul in two bodies. -PYTHAGURAS. What is the secret of your life asked Mrs. Browning of Charles Kingsley, tell me that I may make mine beau- tiful toon? He replied, UI had a friend. Asleep, awake, by night or day, The friends I seek are seeking meg No wind can drive my bark astray, Nor change the tide of destiny. -JOHN BURROUGHS. A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Eefore him I may think aloud. -M EM ERSON. When musing on companions gone We doubly feel ourselves alone, Something, my friend, yet we may gain, There is a pleasure in this pain, It soothes the love of lonely rest Deep in each gentler heart impressed. -JVIARMION. This world that we're living in Is mighty hard to beat, You get a thorn with every rose, But ain't the roses sweet? -f-JAMES WIIITCOMB RILEY.

Page Twenty-four THE London, spoke on Nutritional Work in the Rural Schools. He stated that 30 percent of the pupils are mal-nourished. He said that in mal-nourished children who are brought to standard, there is an improvement in the pleasure and ease with which the children do their work. Miss Guest of Toronto gave a splendid talk on the relation of VVonien's Institutes to Rural Schools. Miss Guest described a number of ways in which Women's Institutes can be helpful to us. They will gladly aid us in such matters as Travelling Libraries, Health nurses and School Fairs. On Friday evening Form Five put on a play, entitled The Brown Mouse. The story is that of the struggle of a young enthusiastic teacher in an agricultural community who tries to put into practice the theory that education should be a training for living. On Saturday morning, Miss Eisley lead the discussion in Difficulties when beginning to teach Rural Schools. Misses McCully, Holliday and McLeod and Mr. Manning told of some of their difficulties in beginning the work. Mr. Chisholm, Assistant Chief Inspector of Schools for tlntario, spoke on Consolidation, and how to bring it about. Tliere are already fourteen consolidated schools in Ontario. Mr. Chisholm stated the interesting fact that it is possible to obtain Government grants for consolidation purposes up to Sl QJPUO. At intervals during the conference we sang our school song and a number of others. Misses MacArthur, Eggert, Yeandle and Schineman sang solos which were much appreciated. The conference was a decided success and a resolution was passed unanimously at the last session, expressing this conviction and suggesting that a third conference be held next year. RUTH KAPPIfI,l,l3I. CLASSIC ' june 1921 IMAGINE Mr. Allingham small and minute! Miss Versa Woods starting a dispute! Mr. Wilson without a grin! Miss Kilpatrick committing a sin! Clara Wallis without a beau! A Normal student with lots of dough! Mr. Hyde without his brains! Herman Schmidt chasing the Janes! Lila Feeney without a joke! Ross Veitch without a smoke!! Lily Coxson looking blue! Anyone saying Exams are too few. l SPRING. CCYER babbling brooks, Through shady nooks, Nature is sweetly singing. The birds so gay Rejoice in May: The earth with music ringing. Through orchard and field, With honey sealed, Bees are merrily humming. VVith thejoy of spring All seem to sing The happiest times are coming. T F S

VVhen it has lmoilecl long enough to he thoroughly lmlenclecl, transfuse it hy wise teaching to the eager mind of a restless boy, and set away to cool. To-morrow he will greet you-an educated man.
